Oh god, stop following me around. You know nothing about me you wet lettuce of a man

Am I the only one who is not bothered in the slightest by climate change?

The evidence is that covid is still here and will now always be here. It won't be eliminated. Its probably done the rounds of the country twice. The reason its not recognised as endemic rather than pandemic? Politics. Its much easier justify extreme reactions if we pretend we are still in a...

There is no reason to suppose that covid behaves any different to any other coronavirus' or influenza. So once it is has established itself in the country (and basically got everywhere which it has) it is endemic. In Europe the response curves from covid are pretty clear (both in locked and...

It has been endemic for months, the very fact it curled over in April 20 and then came back in another viral season is evidence of this. It will come back in the next viral season too albeit probably lower. Now go away and keep believing to yourself you are at huge risk and stay inside

Well I'll have a sporting bet with you that cases are going to rise next autumn/ winter again. Viral triggering for what will be the third season in the UK of a novel covid virus which is now endemic. Vaccines will have helped and lets hope there are no long term issues from them (there could...

The Imperial Modelling was demonstrably wrong. We locked down on the basis of that junk prediction which has not come true anywhere in the world whether they locked down or not. Keep believing that it if you want to but there is not a consensus amongst scientists or virologists. Very few deny...

It may have been the point of it. However despite using words like "blow up the healthcare" "tsunami of infection" "evil mutant strain" etc. there is precious little evidence that it was necessary or effective, and I don't disagree with the 2-3 week lockdown maximum that we had back in March in...

Ionaddis has often said 0.15%. It could even be lower, I'd not be surprised if it is but of course a number of factors come into play. The worldwide evidence every day still gets a little clearer that this isn't the great killer it was claimed. Loads of countries didn't lockdown because they...

It was his estimate based on the data. No one can come up with an exact % ifr because there are so many variables (age, comorbidities etc even when people are pretending covid can kill people equally indiscrimenantly). He says the median IFR appears to 0.23% and is probably substantially lower...

https://www.who.int/bulletin/online_first/BLT.20.265892.pdf Remember this is real world data not scare story media rubbish. Now obviously you will have to adjust it for age, comorbidites etc. so 0.15 is not a constant. but its pretty good. The other side of the coin of saying the number of...

I think you must be mixing me up with someone else as I would never use the phrase "hard to unpack" and I have yet to produce any conspiracy theory. Were the 5 people from one family in the newspapers? Its a highly unusual number. very very unusual. I find your arguments for lockdown very...

WHO figures 0.15%. You need to remember that the PCR tests are creating this figures as well. We are testing ourselves into a blind alley. Who is ignoring their plight? Are you saying that because I think lockdowns acheived nothing that I want people to die of covid? If so you are wrong. Its...

I think we can all agree its a very nasty disease but the facts remain the IFR is 0.14-15%. For 20-50 year olds is 0.03-05%. Under no other circumstances would we be vaccinating the world like this. A lot of business' have been trashed and our country will be poorer for a number of years which...

Er, no one was arguing against some NPI. A lot of this is voluntary anyway. Its why the peaks of covid in the UK occured before lockdown. You are the fanatic who thinks only confining people to their houses will work.

They will still get covid unless they want to stay locked up forever. You have to be capable of thinking further than just what the BBC says each day

Actually I'm no arguing virus come in waves at all. A lot of them just circulate, peter out and become endemic - all the common colds etc we get are past virus that would have killed people with their novelty. No waving at all. We can influence the peaks of virus' to a degree but we don't need...

Whataboutery It is in endemic in the UK.

No you can't achieve elimination. It is your presumption that growth in covid increases exponentially but the fact it that it doesn't. It doesn't in places where there is no lockdown either - all virus' ebb and flow
