    Quite a lot of discussion showing their herd immunity didn't work.

    So many lockdowns all over Europe... hard to see the government endgames here, in case they don t get an efficient vaccine. So many people are gonna die of non covid related health issues while wasting the end of the life, my 97/98 y o grandma in France apparently hit pretty hard at the idea of being isolated and locked in again at the annuncement of a new Stay at home order there. Public health care disastrous since covid came up because of deprioritizing lots of other ailments - evem cancer - in Spain not sure how it is in other countries.
    In Madrid it's actually pretty close to normal for day to day life ( night life has been crushed and there s a 12am-6am curfew in place)
    Cases have actually slowed than kinda stabilized 3 weeks ago while it keeps on going up in other parts of the country.
    Starting to get riots across the country, most understandable if u ask me. Issue is Madrid government obviously doesn t want to lock down but the fuckers or those in Central government might go into full lockdown to start controling the riots if they get worse. Other provinces are already begging for Stay at home orders ( and there s still strong political struggles between Central and provincial govs that put public interest way in the back seat)
    Good luck, if u accidently run over pro Stay at home orders' folks on ur way to work or the park or the toilet, u might as well get on reverse and accidently run them another time.

    At least UK lockdown releases government funds to support businesses and employees. But it still just delays the inevitable.

    Lots of BS made up to discredit, seen the interview when someone says, isn't Sweden the solution and the stupid excuses the bloke comes up with before just ignoring it, there trying to discredit Sweden, to keep the lockdowns.

    Norway went Sweden aswell, they regret not doing that first, strange how it's so bad, but another country took up there method.

    Atleast Spains admitted it's just the sheilding group, nobody over here accept me has realised that and I expected this, although worse than I figured, but likely Flu deaths being counted as Covid deaths, Flu deaths are down hugely for the season strangely.

    Rally's here to, hoping Parliament listens to the people 75% in a poll don't want the lockdown, up for 2% that didn't at the first 1.

    Infections, peaked already, hospital admission will follow soon and deaths 7 days after that.

    There saying, lockdown might get extended beyond 4th December already aswell, yeah great, and there main selling point is, if we do this then we can have Xmas day, how pathetic is that, the day when nobody goes into shops and most people stay home and just get pissed there so damn bored shitless, yeah that's a spread hazard.

    So they can keep lockdowns and screw us all over ?? while pretending to be saving us, but actually killing 3x's more than the virus is short term and many many more times from the global depression and job / homelessness that's about to come and likely a famine aswell. While actually saving Nobody!!

    Fun, if you mean close all small businesses ( Right before Xmas close all shops there busy period they count on ) and force everyone to order there crappy xmas gifts ( I don't participate at all ) from Amazon then yeah definately.

    We've worked out Lockdowns unless really hard don't work and a lockdown where just the shops and pubs are shut, isn't a hard lockdown, kids still going to school / university and people can still go to work, the people that could work from home where still working from home for ever more, office I visited last week normally 40+ people, had 3 people in and 1 of those was me!

    Even WHO guy, says Lockdowns don't do much virus wise, but huge economic damage.

    Shows they have no plan other than wait for a vaccine and reimpose lockdowns periodically to not run out of healthcare reserves.

    So they can make money rebuilding it ?? find out when this shit is over, when did anyone start caring about 0.1% of the population especially old people, that's an obvious lie, why they've told 20year olds it's killing them to to scare the crap out of them and really isn't, unless they do a lot of Coke then a few.
