I mean when you look at the excess deaths today... Far more 'excess' from non covid deaths. That's before you even look at what a covid death is...
The press have scared people so much that they darent go to **** hospital and all you lot can say is **** the Tories.. Well yes don't vote for them I won't but meanwhile we sit in our homes, deprive our immune system of the energy it needs and become sedentary. Yet all of you lot shouting the Tories down also want to be further locked in, wake up.
Plus this 3 week headstart stuff is b***ks.
It's been in this country undetected since the New Year. That science group in Iceland basically confirmed that in the interview on sky news yesterday.
It's also fairly obvious to anybody with any common sense that China has more deaths and infections than any other country, not that it's a competition which some people would make you believe.
why change the subject? That would suggest you want the government to get away with negligence and the deaths of hundreds, if not thousands, of people.FFS Broken Record
Change the subject....anyone watch Celebrity Ex on the Beach tonight ?
Why are you sat in your home? The majority of people I know are spending more time outdoors than they did pre lockdown
I’m lucky I have a garden. When I wasn’t working from home I sat in an office, I popped out for 10 minutes for lunch. Im now regularly in my garden. I’m exercising a little more, walking to town for groceries etc
The fact is you can blame the press, but we have far more excess deaths than any other country. May I add it’s England only too, this isn’t replicated in Wales Scotland or Northern Ireland. It’s nothing to do with the press, it’s fall at the governments door and how the handled it.
Well put Nobby, it goes quiet fot a few days then someone will post something bad & depressing & here we go againSpot on Randy Savage, I'm sick of hearing about it to be honest. Many of the posters on here seem to revel in the doom and gloom, anything to reinforce their political stance. As if anything they say makes a difference to the situation
I'm not interested in politics btw. Billy and Bear provide good stats without the political bias...
Ye that’s a good point. I forget that people I typically know are in their 30’s and 40’sI have a big garden, a girlfriend and a dog that both need walking () and do a home gym workout 4-5 night's a week as well as having to go to the 'office' every few weeks due to the nature of my job.
When I'm talking about these things I'm talking about the general public and in particular the older people.
I am not worried about myself I know I'm 99.99% likely to be fine from the disease.

Yes we're all living through this awful crises & its not going to get any better soon but I think certain people thrive on it
Bear & Billy post useful info which I constantly read
People aern't though finny, not one bit, you can go on the Internet & read the latest news, why post it on a football message board, OK, it's not only football related but come on, the older board was saturated with politics let's try & keep it off herePeople bored and uninterested in 000s of deaths
It’s a bit like a video game isn’t it. Lets just switch it off and start again.
The post wasn’t political but begs questions. If there are good reasons it would be nice to know.
Or 4 state what you think that certain posters are just posting doom & gloom for political scoresIts reasonably simple though isn’t it.
It’s a message board where people post messages. There are a number of options
1. Read the message and participate
2. Ignore the message because you think it wont be for you
3. Read the message and tell everyone its not for you
3 seems a bit weird to me but - hey ho

A lot of it is scare mongering, I agree the government were slow & still aren't truthful in what they've done, is happening, I'm as worried as the next person & at times have had a panic attack, when the lockdown came end of march this place helped me & I know others with how people were coping & the togetherness & then more & more political posts started appearin
There are facilities that help on here. Ignore user is one.
Also, there is another facility that would be useful. At present there is no ignore thread option on this board.
If I remember rightly that is not available at present built in to the software that runs the forum. However I think there is a third part option for allowing people to ignore a thread.
Such a facility would make it easier those who want to focus on specific things on here.
I would probably not use it very often. However I feel it could others a lot.
Not having a go at anyone finny, I've not once had a dig at you over all the years we've both posted on either flyme & I'm not starting now, we have different opinions, yes posted 3 points & I posted a 4th & IMHO, this board will soon, sadly, follow the older oneYes - having a go at someone is really easy too
I agree. I am the same. However I feel that having a tool to help is a little easier than doing it yourself.I think it’s quite easy to ignore threads personally. There are plenty of threads we’re ive viewed once and haven’t gone back in, where as with people the can pollute a thread you have a genuine interest in
I have yet to ignore anyone mind
Ye I agree, was probably went into analytical mode to think about why some tools included and why others are notI agree. I am the same. However I feel that having a tool to help is a little easier than doing it yourself.
