Thanks for the welcome, as for all that other crap your spewing have you got any hard evidence or is it all fake news and conspiracy theories? Today in Parliament Banks and Farrage were outed. Well worth a listening too. Farrage got a 500.000 payment from Russia. It will be interesting to see if he's prepared to say the same outside of parliament and without the protection that place gives.

Mysty2 Mr Farage has just challenged Chris Bryant to repeat his allegations outside of parliamentary privilege & has stated he will see him in court as the allegation is untrue. I would suggest you ask for your post to be removed as you don’t have the protection afforded to Bryant.

Not a problem I thnk they have scrapped the figures now that no one is dying from covid. I don't understand why some people on this forum are so fixated with what is going on in the UK when they live here I'm not fixated by what is going on in the UK, however as I work there I do have a healthy interest in what is happening. I'm very happy that travel formalities are being relaxed and just wish Scotland would follow the lead that England has demonstrated with regards to masks, etc, but I think everyone knows that's not going to happen.

Not surprising at all. Anyone who has seen any news over the last 5 or 6 years will have seen Farage's ugly mug publicly adoring all manner of political scumbags. A random groupie that will do anything to stay in with the heap at the top of the current news.

Well the numbers of new infections are going through the roof That was expected, planned for and very positive, anything other would mean that too many people remain in a state of fear. I met a couple in town today that I have not seen since before covid, she gave me la bisebefore explaining that they havn't really been out or done anything for the last 2 years because they wouldn't be vaccinated, I wasn't really surprised because they both are always heavily into whatever is trending on t'internet be it veganism or whatever, she makes a living as an "influencer" and he is effectively her pimp. I expect they will both catch it soon and gain their immunity, are passe sanitaires still required for bars & restos etc? Ah someone from the herd immunity camp. Doesn't work with flu. Doesn't work with colds. I doubt it will work with Covid - in fact there is much evidence that it is not working. The good news: If you catch Covid, you are less likely to die than if you catch flu - based on current variants which might change and could get worse. The bad news: You are far more likely to catch Covid than flu. End result: Currently around 40,000 per year are dying in France at current rates. And before someone says it will die down through the summer, the evidence (2 years data) is it will subside in late spring and will start up again during the summer to make autumn rather unpleasant. This nasty beastie does not always follow the "rules".

Unfortunately we have a great number of recently qualified armchair virologists whose musings are based more on hopes/fears than actual science. Coronaviruses are endemic precisely because they evade established immunities. That simple fact remains regardless of however much we hope it might not. The best that can be expected is that the morbidity/mortality associated with SARS-CoV-2 can be mitigated by vaccination, medication and personal habits. It's not going away.

I would suggest you ask for your post to be removed as you don’t have the protection afforded to Bryant. Mr Farage claimed he had never met the Russian Ambassodor. He back tracked on that lie when pictures of the two of them were posted online.

I think it's only fair to point out one doesn't get guaranteed immunity from receiving the vaccine, nor will one get guaranteed immunity following contracting the virus!

I never mentioned herd immunity nor that the virus was going away.
Nonetheless I'm pleased to have provided an opening for the scorn of the superiority.

These recently qualified armchair virologists need putting in their place. All the talk about 'healthy lifestyle, vitamin D, ivermectin' needs calling out. It's a FACT that the only course of action that works is to be double jabbed with booster(s), wearing a mask, washing your hands and social distancing. This is how the spread will be stopped and the NHS saved.

What is even sadder is that they cannot even vote and as an government is normally representative of the population they are just flogging off their ex country mates... That is odd. I have the vote in UK and live here. Can you explain what "flogging off their ex country mates" means please, I don't understand flogging off as in selling off or beating off, or has flogging off aquired a new meaning?

You never mentioned herd immunity in as many words, but allow me to highlight a couple of points you did make in response to a post about cases increasing: Mar 15 2022 at 7:52pm pcpa said: That was expected, planned for and very positive, anything other would mean that too many people remain in a state of fear. I met a couple in town today that I have not seen since before covid, she gave me la bisebefore explaining that they havn't really been out or done anything for the last 2 years because they wouldn't be vaccinated, I wasn't really surprised because they both are always heavily into whatever is trending on t'internet be it veganism or whatever, she makes a living as an "influencer" and he is effectively her pimp. I expect they will both catch it soon and gain their immunity, are passe sanitaires still required for bars & restos etc?That is herd immunity in all but name

Many people seem to be saying this virus will not be going away, and we just have to get used to X thousands of deaths annually. It certainly seems to have altered us socially. Isolation seems to be the only thing that is really effective but its difficult to achieve.
There is plenty of material for conspiracy theorists to support the idea that "the elite" had this designer virus released into the wild to help with their plans for population control.
Strange times we live in. Not sure I really want to know how it ends up.
