After doing "research" that concluded the Suez canal is the quickest route from China to South Africa I don't know how you can expect anyone to take you seriously.alexmr2 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 31, 2021 8:24 amI'm sorry to hear anyone's personal circumstances but unfortunately this is how sentiment and emotion skews opinions.Kai wrote: ↑Wed Mar 31, 2021 12:15 amLet's hope you don't learn the real meaning of irony if you lose a family member after making 250 posts about how harmless Covid is.
And let's hope nobody gets triggered by such a callous post, I know a couple that just might, and there is no doubt many more.
There's a clear difference between ignorance and stupidity Alex, and youth is a poor excuse for either.
On the surface it may come across as callous, but only because the Sage SPI-B behavioural psychologist department has programmed everyone to think this way. When emotions are high there should be some logic injected. It's equally if not more callous to ignore the millions who missed cancer diagnoses including kids, diabetes, strokes and many other bigger killers, the significant rise in mental health and suicide amongst younger adults. These measures lead to decline in the elderly suffering from dementia and their immune systems in general, robbing many of their final couple of years to spend time with family. A massively disproportionate number of lives were ruined, all for a respiratory virus which replaced the flu and has an average death age of 83. Personally I rate the lives of millions of kids being destroyed socially, mentally, financially more important than trying to stop the inevitable with those aged over average life expectancy who already lived a good life.
In the UK the NHS was never overwhelmed but decisions were made to cancel and delay treatments which is where most of the excess deaths have came from (people at home). Nightingale Hospitals opened very quickly at the beginning of April 2020 but were never used. Retired doctors and nurses applications were ignored to run these simultaneously with normal hospitals but somehow they decided to allow the bigger killers to continue and refuse treatment to those people.
There is a much bigger agenda here and the saving lives one does not have much logic to it, especially when those in power like Boris and Bill have population control agendas. My view is only to encourage people to look at the bigger picture and statistics which are becoming more obvious all the time instead of blindly following the narrative from an emotive perspective.
Just like when a new trader has loss aversion to losing money, it inadvertedly causes them to lose money. Similarly trying to avoid death, we are inadvertedly losing our lives.
Croatia is another good case study where measures were liberal for the vast majority of 2020, total death rate was within normal parameters and average death age was within 3.65% of average life expectancy.
On 22 March, Zagreb, the capital of Croatia, was hit by the strongest earthquake in 140 years, causing problems in the enforcement of social distancing measures set out by the Croatian government, as the country engaged in a period of lockdown in the later part of the first half of 2020. On 5 July, a parliamentary election was held in the country. In general, the country was mostly reopened during the 2020 summer tourist season.

As I've said before, intelligent people are led by evidence to their conclusion. You and the tinfoil hat people work the other way around - you chose your conclusion and look for evidence to support it, ignoring anything else. People trust the experts because they are cleverer than you and their analysis makes sense. You're a nobody, a crackpot whose mind is unwittingly controlled by Bill Gates, nobody's going to listen to you.
Do you seriously think anyone on this forum is going to be persuaded by your arguments? There are some highly intelligent and mathematically minded people on here so you're really on the wrong forum to spread your tinfoil hat theories.
