So, if everyone stopped taking tests, and doing as youd do if you felt run down, such as a few days off work, wrapped under the duvet, the media would have no figures to report on. Thus, the scare mongering would be gone, and gradually folk woukd crack on doing what they do. Before i get the whip, im triple jabbed, but wont be having another. Ive never done a test, and will only do one if needed for my holiday.

A) glad you don’t go to clubs….

B) not taking test doesn’t mean it’s goes away… that’s a bit like sticking your fingers in your ears screaming la la la I’m not listening

London/Essex... ish... Romford to be exact

I tried to get some tests from Boots but they were all gone after twenty mins from two different stores. I have a few tests left in one box but saving those for if symptoms appear. I think it's inevitable most of us will catch covid at some point thus the government will achieve its aim of herd immunity. If I develop symptoms and have no test available then I'll go to a test centre but otherwise I won't test regularly, cos I probably can't get due to a lack of test kits. Most people I know don't test often besides my neighbour who is a nurse and a colleague who insists on commuting daily to the office as he cannot work his IT competently at home.

I'd wait for other indicators of disease and follow advice, although obviously it'd be lagging and there'd be less ability to judge immediate risk to self and others.

As I'm risk averse, I'd probably bin any outside activity where I couldn't leave my mask on, and be very glad I work from home.

Nope. My mums vulnerable, and tri jabbed, and fed up with it all herself. If i feel shit, i will stsy home, just like i wouldve done 26 months ago. Ffs, theyve spoke of bringing isolation to 5 days anyway, so what is the point if thats the case.

If everyone is ignorant of the fact then yes, it would be bliss. Thered be no panic, nurses could still work the same as before vax, and the country would run as normal. People be absent from work as per before, some be in hospital, as per before. But scaremongering media woukd have to find sumat else to report on.

Ignorance can be a short term bliss for some.

I'd prefer a well managed crisis situation and all of us to be well cared for and not thrown to the dogs, because it seemed like a simple idea to ignore reality.

Most people don't take time off for a cold though so unless everyone stops work when they get a sniffle your plan is flawed.

5 days is in America, CDC is American and if you care to read up on it their 5 days starts the day after your positive PCR result, whereas in England it starts from the day after your first symptom or your positive test result.

By in large depending on when an American takes and gets their test results could actually be longer than we have in England.

I mention England as I don't know the current rules for Scotland, Wales and Ireland

As long as we keep testing so

often the figures will always be high, it's time we we lived with covid and deal with it when and only if death rates are high! At the moment death rates are very low so we need to get on with life. I'm not being uncompassionate to people that have lost loved ones but these are times we need to go through.

That comment about being heartless is out of order and shows what a person will do to others who do not share the same view.

I never wear masks, or test and I will never go for another jab that is over for me now.

When the leader of this country is shown sorry admits wrongdoing, when my family members are dying and I couldn't see them, or bury them.

His has been told this, and he is still in office, he won't resign, instead he clings to power disgusting.

All this covid stuff means nothing to me anymore, no matter what the powers that be decree in the future, I will lead my life, if others want to stay home, take tests or whatever they feel they need to feel safe its cool with me.

Plus isolation is now five days that's official, the narrative is changing "living with covid" is starting to trend as peoples attitudes to covid change, people are awaking, and the powers have to change to keep power.

I suppose technically, people die due to respiratory distress. Low O2 sats due to their lungs being damaged both by the virus and the immune response in an attempt to eradicate the cells infected by the virus.

That's not what you meant though, is it?

The ONS has told the government twice now (I actually think it's three times) that the figures have been exaggerated. The 'with covid' as opposed to 'of covid' is a large part of this disparity.

People have been pointing out the of/with confusion for about 18 months now so I'm surprised so many people are still entirely unaware of it

The first time the government was told off the ONS said, from memory, that 30,000 had died instead of the claimed 34,500.

Less than a week later the ONS looked at the figures again and said the disparity was bigger than they originally claimed.

If the ONS knows how to add up it means the official figure is approx 15-20% bigger than it should be.

Any intelligent person would ask why we are being misled. Only a fool would blindly trust the official narrative

I'm quite happy sticking to the datasets that we use for any other cause of death.

If implying that I'm naive, stupid, or following an evil agenda gets your rocks off, by all means go ahead, but evidence doesn't disappear because someone shouts "agenda" at it.

Ah, so you're saying that everything is perfectly okay if instead of having a fuck ton of deaths, we've only got 85% of a fuck ton of deaths. It absolutely does not matter how you count it, whether it's within 28 days, whether it's with covid or of covid, whether the result comes out 10% higher or 10% lower. The basic truth is that there are FAR TOO MANY people that are dead now who would still be alive if there had been a better response to the virus from government and people.

We are currently getting nearly 400 deaths a day because of the fact that covid is absolutely rampant in this country. I am absolutely certain that you will now correct me and say "actually it was only 398 people yesterday, which is nothing like 400, and on the 7 day average it was only 246". Yeah I'm sure that 246 every day for a week (averaged) is perfectly fine, nothing to worry about at all. After all that's barely another 90 thousand a year (oh sorry, 89790, my bad, so much much less than 90000).

Oh I'd better remove both the people who got hit by buses after getting a positive LFT result, plus the guy who's parachute failed to open. So that's only 89787, much better eh? The truth is that the numbers vary slightly depending on who does the accounting because it just isn't always possible to be totally certain of the fundamental underlying reason for every single death. Each official body that performs a count has some slightly different procedure, there will always be some individual deaths that are counted one way by one process, another way by another process.

When the twin towers were attacked, there were according to one official count 2996 deaths. A different method of counting said 2977. In any case there must have been a couple of those who would have died of natural causes anyway within a day or two. So maybe it should only be 2975 deaths counted, not 2996, so that's alright. Why are we being lied to? How can we possibly trust anyone if it wasn't really 2996 deaths? Maybe we should just ignore the whole event, because obviously some of those people only died WITH the towers falling, not OF the towers falling. The ones who had pre-existing conditions and couldn't get down the stairs to escape, obviously they shouldn't be counted. The ones who stayed and tried to help others, we should discount them also. And the rescue workers that died, it was their own fault for going in there.

However you look at it, however you massage the figures, whether our government is exaggerating the figures or minimising the figures, whether it is with covid or of covid. The fact that cannot be avoided is that the only possible answer to the question "how many deaths have been caused by covid" is FAR TOO MANY.

"Not taken one test and have up until now refused to do so regardless of needing an operation. Being forced to test for an illness when one isn’t presenting themselves with any indications of such illnesses is beyond my understanding and desire to comply. "

So am I correct in understanding that you need an operation but won't have it because of a PCR test ?

Would you say the same if the pre op team asked you to take a blood test ?

"So, if everyone stopped taking tests, and doing as youd do if you felt run down, such as a few days off work, wrapped under the duvet, the media would have no figures to report on. Thus, the scare mongering would be gone, and gradually folk woukd crack on doing what they do. Before i get the whip, im triple jabbed, but wont be having another. Ive never done a test, and will only do one if needed for my holiday. "

If nobody took a test, then nobody would know what illness they had and receive the appropriate treatment.

Should they not take a test for any illness?

If nobody took a test then they wouldn't know that they were spreading a potentially fatal disease.

Should people spread potentially fatal diseases if it can be avoided?

If nobody tested, Covid would still exist, we just wouldn't know how widely and who were most succeptible.

Should we allow the most vulnerable to become ill?

You will do a test for you own benefit but no one else's.

Is society better if people only behave selfishly?

I suppose technically, people die due to respiratory distress. Low O2 sats due to their lungs being damaged both by the virus and the immune response in an attempt to eradicate the cells infected by the virus.

That's not what you meant though, is it?"

Absolutely not but you seem to be a scientist/specialist in the subject... Another listening to absolute twoddle on the news.

People die, they always have. Fit healthy people it's nature. The majority of people who die are over weight, smokers, drinkers ect. Or underlying health issues. Death rates in 2019 were higher than 2020 through the so called worse pandemic ever. Open your eyes.

Not sure where you get your “facts”. This was taken from the ONS report on deaths in England and Wales for 2020;

In 2020, there were 607,922 deaths registered in England and Wales; an increase of 14.5% compared with 2019 (530,841 deaths).

"The ONS has told the government twice now (I actually think it's three times) that the figures have been exaggerated. The 'with covid' as opposed to 'of covid' is a large part of this disparity.

People have been pointing out the of/with confusion for about 18 months now so I'm surprised so many people are still entirely unaware of it"

Actually in all the slides that witty and van tam show in the press briefings, they show you the difference between WITH and OF, and the daily highlighted figure you see on the news is the OF figure

Actually the ONS released the yearly figures for 2021 last week.. and there were 3 that stood out…

The figures of those people who died WITH covid was roughly around 175,000, the figures of those people who died OF covid was 120,000…. And the figures for expected deaths was 100,000 above average!

But I don't take a few days off of I feel just run down because my companies sick policy will penalise me for doing this. At present if I'm made to self Isolate by the rules then it doesn't count towards my sick triggers. Keep the tests to stop me getting sick warnings

Nope. My mums vulnerable, and tri jabbed, and fed up with it all herself. If i feel shit, i will stsy home, just like i wouldve done 26 months ago. Ffs, theyve spoke of bringing isolation to 5 days anyway, so what is the point if thats the case.

If staff in the health sector stopped testing and your mum went in hospital or to the gp surgery for whatever reason would you both be ok with her contacting covid and the issues it could bring ?

She can get it popping for a pint of milk, so theres no difference in where its picked up from, but she could also get hit by a bus. Life is full of risk no matter what you do

Does your mother know how heartless you are ?

Most of us would die to protect our mothers."

Flu maybe the one exception as who would have thought that by following measures designed to keep covid cases down we would have helped to avoid flu season too.

Would I have stayed off work 3yrs ago with a cold/heavy cold? I'd have liked to often, to be honest, but there was no tolerance for such absences. I've been say (historically) in meetings with people coughing and blowing their noses, silently wishing I could put them in a containment chamber. Of course, masks were not de rigour back then.

Now we have Teams and other means to meet virtually (and teach virtually), I'd much rather people with any type of respiratory disease stayed and worked at home. This is perfectly possible in the workplace I attend.

Heart attack, cancer and other death rates are similar, except for those of diseases transmitted in a similar manner to Covid, such as Flu, which has been reduced by the same measures.

Are you aware of excess deaths and what this figure means?

The actual answer to your assertion is that the deaths are completely logical unless you believe that people have been making up the deaths of their family members.

That is quite a thing to say. That is what you are saying. You understand that, right?

5 days since when?? It still 10 unless test negative on days 6 and 7 so people need to keep up with currant data

The CDC is saying 5 now the UK are considering it. Whether it's wise or not is another matter. Infections still have knock on effects

"I tried to get some tests from Boots but they were all gone after twenty mins from two different stores. I have a few tests left in one box but saving those for if symptoms appear. I think it's inevitable most of us will catch covid at some point thus the government will achieve its aim of herd immunity. If I develop symptoms and have no test available then I'll go to a test centre but otherwise I won't test regularly, cos I probably can't get due to a lack of test kits. Most people I know don't test often besides my neighbour who is a nurse and a colleague who insists on commuting daily to the office as he cannot work his IT competently at home. "

We tested positive for covid last year,we where sick but no need to go to hospital,at this time I had both my jabs cazz had only one jab and I was actually worse than cazz,this last week we had the same symptoms we went to a testing center and the next day our results came back negative.

Personally we don't trust the LFT we know way to many people who have had false readings we would rather get a proper test, 4 people where I work who I have had close contact with have tested positive on the LFT,just like to say I do where a mask when at work or shopping.

My work place will no longer let you use your holidays to cover you if you are off with covid,we did the right thing by going and getting a test but now we are being penalised and lost two days pay.

I don't think covid will disappear I belive it is something we will have to live with like colds or the flu.

This is only my opinion we still take precautions and would not want to be responsible for spreading covid,cold or flu

Think you know the answer to that already...

Unless close family at risk, few will bother.

"People don't die of covid they die with covid. If you can't get your heads round that there's nothing more to say. "

I work in CRITICAL CARE ON A COVID WARD!!!

Please explain to me with your vast depth of medical knowledge and virology degree what these people are dying of??

Please come to the ward and view chest x-rays and tell me what is wrong with these patients if it’s not Covid.

Please tell me what I should tell people who are recovering from Covid after being some of the sickest patients we have ever kept alive what they are suffering from!

Please tell me why I’m protecting myself by having 3 jabs and wearing full PPE to treat patients.

"So, if everyone stopped taking tests, and doing as youd do if you felt run down, such as a few days off work, wrapped under the duvet, the media would have no figures to report on. Thus, the scare mongering would be gone, and gradually folk woukd crack on doing what they do. Before i get the whip, im triple jabbed, but wont be having another. Ive never done a test, and will only do one if needed for my holiday. "

I still go dancing I visit my mum and stepdad 85 and 90 respectively I just got back from a dance weekender in Budapest. I test regularly before and two days after.

Ignoring testing won't make covid go away.

Oh well done yiur irresponsible attitude has probably killed your chances of getting a meet

Threads like this are great for getting absolute dangers to out themselves.

We're on a website all about meeting up with people to have sex with them. It's actually really useful to find out who a) *still* doesn't understand what "asymptomatic" means, and b) doesn't give a flying fuck about the health of other people.
