Hancock's Half Hour

[RogerS]

... The country was caught unprepared because no govt. of any political colour is prepared to sink money into providing for something that might happen one day but hopefully not in this parliament and there are no votes in it anyway.....

Jeez...go and read my post a few pages back that highlighted (A) How Germany got things right and (B) How we monumentally cocked up. Nothing AT ALL to do with 'sinking money'.

Lets not confuse Niall Ferguson the historian with Neil Ferguson the epidemiologist.

As far as TN is concerned, they might as well be the same :lol:

I wonder if an old person (boomer) will ever dare lecture a millenial or younger again about how entitled their generation is? :-k

Two days without internet, but I'm back! I think you will find the boomers are fully entitled to lecture everyone about everything, specially about how not to **** and pillage your way through limited resources, destroy environments, and generally live way beyond your means using debt instead of capital. They have earned the right, obviously.

Whilst you may not, apparently I did! My bad.

Your parents must have been really horrible people to cause you to hate older folks so much.

Another one I missed when it came out. Love the gotcha moment toward the end.

Not all, just a select few who like to lecture the younger generations.

My mother is good person and I had wonderful grandparents who I dearly miss.

No wonder Test and Trace is a CoS...just seen who is in charge. Dildo Harding...failed CEO of TalkTalk..her grasp of anything technical is laughable.

Rorschach I'd respectfully suggest you read many of your own posts and realise that it is you doing the lecturing, perhaps you need to practice what you preach.

No father mentioned?
Genuine question not intended to provoke a reaction so don't answer that if it's too personal.

I know how you feel about your grandparents, my paternal grandmother was a bit of a witch but grandfather was amazing and I was devastated at his death when I was 17, never knew my maternal grandparents.

Justified lecturing I think after some of the posts I have seen here over the years from the older generation, not mentioning any names :wink: :lol:

Bit more of a complicated story with my father. He wasn't intentionally a bad man but he was misguided in a lot of ways and suffered terribly with PTSD from a long military career with plenty of active service.

Sorry to hear that. You can choose your friends but unfortunately not your family!

Sobering indeed. I wonder when the article was written (as opposed to published)? His information is out of date in several areas regarding re-infection (no observed cases) and antibody response.

Latest thinking is that up to 80% of the population is naturally immune or effectively not susceptible to catching the virus. Not only is herd immunity therefore the best response, it is the only the response and we are almost there as the vast majority of the susceptible population has already caught it. This is why countries that suffered at the beginning are now opening up with little to no increase in new infections.

That makes sobering reading. I appreciate you taking the time to actually quote the link so we can read it for ourselves.

Others here continually make sweeping statements without any reference to any sources.

mr trump had a hunch it wasn't going to be so bad, too. but what do you think is the reason the rest of the developed world's not working with the 80% theory?

This isn't the fatuous oaf that the American people deigned to be their leader talking, these videos are interviews with scientists. Please don't comment unless you have watched the video and have suitable sources to discredit their findings.

ha. i asked a question in the second sentence. why do you think the rest of the developed world isn't working on the 80% theory?

 

[Rorschach]

It's a recent theory only come to light due to analysis the death data. Unimportant for the past, it's too late we have done the damage, but very important for what we do going forward. If 80% are basically unaffected that means C19 becomes an irrelevance for the vast majority of people.
