The Covid thread

.... but of course you still don't have proof he hasn't has it


Perhaps we should all instead complain about the MPs who opposed lockdown rules

My second jab has been brought forward to next week to the 8 week mark - just like the government has said it will now be doing.

[Grahamm]

so you have been searching for 11 hours since my post - can't find anything can you. If he has had it why won't he say so.

I haven't been searching for anything, just like if you'd claimed that you'd been kidnapped by a UFO I wouldn't be searching for evidence to prove you wrong because, as I've already pointed out, it is up to YOU to prove your claim.

Now, you've had more than 11 hours since that post, got any evidence that he hasn't had the jab?

No...?

I shall be complaining about anyone who opposed having a vaccination that they were eligible for if we all end up locked down again because of this Indian variant

I shall be complaining about anybody who would rather see bodies piled high in the streets, than have another lockdown.

The leader of Blackburn with Darwen council, said six of the nine coronavirus patients in the region’s hospital had received at least one jab. Among the over-50s, the town’s vaccination rate is in line with England’s average: 94.8% of that age group have been vaccinated, compared with 95.4% in the country.

[/size]Perhaps the government shouldn't have waited until 23rd of April before they put India on the Red list

If there's no concrete evidence that he hasn't had the jab, it doesn't automatically mean we must assume that he has had it.

And neither can we assume that he hasn't, just because some people have tried to draw (politically motivated) conclusions from the *lack* of evidence...!

Hancock says that "The variant could be up to 50 percent more transmissible than the Kent strain" The reason its 50% more transmissible is because the communities living in Blackburn with darwen break the rules 50% more.

And the Health Secretary says that the 'vast majority' of those patients in hospital with the Indian strain in Bolton were eligible for the jab, but had refused it...

3 out of 9 is not a majority, and is a fact.
Perhaps Hancock is not very good at maths. Except when it comes to to the value of PPE contracts awarded to his mates

'' Could be'' doesn't mean  ''is'', and the last bit is your speculation. Perhaps the Indian variant is more readily transmitted because of the type of mutation. Just like the Kent variant was more easily transmitted than before. You remember, that variant that was first identified in Kent, and was then 'exported' to Europe and USA through open borders and person to person mixing

He's referring to a different hospital isn't he?

He might well be, but he doesn't prove it with statistics. Unlike in Blackburn.

But its not a speculation.
  Blackburn with Darwen Mayor Iftakhar Hussain  has resigned after breaching Covid restrictions by visiting a house where police said people were "celebrating a wedding".Lancashire Police said nine people were fined after being found at an address on Dukes Brow, Blackburn, at about 21:00 GMT on Saturday.

Its all getting a bit boring now and we are going round in circles - time to call it a draw if you like and change the subject.

BBC had an article about a couple who have booked 2 holidays at the same time. One in Devon and one in the canary islands, so if the Spanish one can not go ahead then they will go to the Devon one. They are taking advantage of the Devon one wanting to give holidaymakers peace of mind by offering free cancellations. They have no intention of going to the Devon one. Despicable behaviour IMO. Their faces and names are on the report, if I were the hotel and I saw that BBC report I would be contacting them and telling them to Foc off.   

 Apparently many people are doing the same thing, all these fully booked hotels - come the time they are going to find themselves fully empty.

Yep despicable. Follows on from people booking multiple restaurants, then choosing on the night which one to go to.
All taking advantage of the 'no deposit' schemes run by venues desperate for trade.

Not heard of the restaurants one. Don't get it - we choose where to go based on what we want to eat and then book it and go there.
