    Two things I found out this week. I found out that someone I know has been in hospital, while there he caught coronavirus. How is he counted in the figures?
    Also, where I work has been a hive of activity since March. No one wears masks and social distancing is very difficult to maintain, but we haven't had any cases of coronavirus. I thought that if we did it would run through the whole place quickly. I heard that one of the drivers was off with the virus. He was off for 18 days. No one else got it and no one's NHS covid app went off. I was surprised.
    I spoke to him yesterday. He felt really ill and was going to phone in sick but then his wife got a notification on her NHS app to isolate for 8 days. He got tested and, after a wait, his test came back positive.
    Did he have a cough?
    No.
    Was there a change in his sense of taste or smell?
    No
    He just felt a bit ****, especially his joints in his fingers he told me.
    Was it coronavirus?
    No one else got it and he didn't show any of the symptoms.
    Will he be counted in the figures?
    I think he definitely will but I don't think he had it.
    He's 70+ I think.

    There are hundreds of photos doing the rounds, of testing stations in England with nobody getting tested. Plenty of staff but nobody waiting to be tested..... so how can we be getting so many thousands of positive cases every day. The WHO guidelines for pandemics has always been to do exactly what Sweden has done, exactly what they are doing. Also a CASE is a case when treated in hospital and both these procedures were in place right up to March this year and the last time the WHO stipulated what to do was November last year, but suddenly went against their own pandemic procedures which had been in place for over 40 years. They wanted everyone to do what China did? Yet Sweden following the real best practice to the letter and the rest of the West is collapsing due to lockdowns and killing their economies. China is booming again funnily enough due to everyone closing down. Call me a cynic....

    There's only a pandemic of fear, nothing else.
    Turn the idiot box off and everything will be fine.

    Its gonna be a bit of a dilemma for her Maj, and Phil the Greek to decide who to have for their Xmas dinner this year.
    Bumbling Boris will probably bring in a law if you have more than 50 rooms and 20 toilets in your council house you can have your whole family round

    Think you'll find that as the Queen refers to them as 'The Firm' that no restrictions will apply...business lunch you see.

    Personally couldn't give a f*ck about xmas...it's all a load of b*llocks anyway.

    Pandemic my arse, what we have now is a casedemic. Casedemic is a WHO official term that was coined in the SARS pandemic. Basically it means you get a first wave as we did and then the curve is flattened and then it starts to rise again but its not a second wave. Testing is massive so finds more positives and because of problems with the test it finds more false positives, so more people dont have it but told they do. These are then referred to as cases so number if cases going up but deaths are nowhere as bad relatively speaking compared to when it hit in March. Casedemic is now conflated into a massive panic again.

    this will be the last from me on this as its pointless arguing as it seems science and facts and government data dont matter as we’re all experts based upon what the bBc tell us
