Off Topic Hull Fair

That's just awful.

 

What a stupid thing to say.
Are you going to go and tell all the cancer patients who have been diagnosed too late because lockdown stopped them getting diagnosed early enough to save them?

so even with all the measures in place it didtn save this poor girl?

 

You missed the point Chazz. Point is it isn't 'just flu'.

 

Poor girl, though I doubt the vaccine would have had much of an effect at that late stage... ??

 

It probably wouldn't, it just makes the episode more tragic.

 

They’re both respiratory illnesses.
Young people can die from flu too. It’s rare just like it’s rare from covid.

 

For heaven's sake Chazz you'd argue black is white if you wanted. Of course flu and covid are both respiratory illnesses, just like asthma, lung cancer, etc. But flu and covid are caused by different viruses so for someone to claim covid is 'just flu' is plain wrong. And for what it's worth I think the claim belittles the suffering many people have experienced from covid, including that young girl and her family and friends.

End of.

 

If you don’t want an opposing view don’t post

 

Fair point, but nobody on here is playing cancer down and saying its just another disease.

 

Won a goldfish at Hull Fair around '73/74.

Called it Waggy.

It did alright for a year or two, then my Auntie, Uncle and cousin came to stay and brought their cat with them.


We all went out for the day leaving Waggy and cat alone in the house.


You can guess the outcome...






True story.

 

Well actually it is “just” another disease.
And maybe in life it is better to play things down and get on and live your life.

 

Maybe in your life, that's entirely up to you. Personally, I prefer to take things like viruses seriously, especially ones that can cause long term health effects, multiple complications and can kill a lot easier than flu can.

I don't lose anything by being careful; I have two beautiful children and I want to spend as much time with them as possible, they don't want a Dad that can't run or has to keep going to hospital or whatever. To me, playing down something serious is just selfish denial, you're turning your back on the problem to help yourself, as opposed to the others around you who are well aware of the dangers of such a disease.

 

Don't tell me. The cat fell into the bowl and drowned.

 

Our kid won one in about 2008. It lived for ten years and it was ****ing massive by the end.

 

Where did I say any of that crap?
Selfish denial what a load of bollocks. All those selfish deniers working in the food industry and tesco etc who kept gojng in. Selfish ****s.
Some of us had to carry on going to work and got the virus.

 

Maybe some good news

It's a poor article, because it doesn't mention whether or not it works on goldfish.

 

Is that not allowed?
Isn’t plum saying tell the girls parents moving away from it?

 

What a stupid question. I'm happy not to spread it
