Give me a example of ANY year where common cold deaths are anywhere close to Covid levels. Selfish attitude IMO, thankful that we’ll never meet. Open your eyes to what’s happening in the real world rather than just your house.

A few weeks back I lost a close friend to Covid. None of my other friends have died from a cold or flu.

No doubt the youth team will have brought it back with them from Manchester. We were told we needed a vaccination to bring the “R” rate down, well most of us have probably had 3 vaccs and the “R” rate is between 3 and 5 the highest it as ever been, we were told the virus unchecked would cause a 2% death rate, he ho we’ve passed that rate because we’ve suppressed it so long, just goes to show the scientists and medics got it hugely wrong, fair play to Alcy on his stance. If anyone is being selfish BS it is you, you must be at least 80 yes old, why should society be looking after you? can’t imagine your contributing to the wealth of the nation anymore in fact you are drawing a pension and are a drain on the NHS, whereas many of those 10 to 15% you refer to are paying national insurance and taxes to get hospital treatment, Which is not free it all and as to be paid for by taxpayers, no doubt you contributed as well but they never envisaged people would live as long as people are nowadays so do us all a favour and help out in a way that you know you can.

” you must be at least 80 yes old, why should society be looking after you? can’t imagine your contributing to the wealth of the nation any more, in fact you are drawing a pension and are a drain on the NHS”
Awaywego, this looks like an attack on the elderly. I disagree with most of BS’s ideas, but like many over 80s, (I am 87) I have over a long working life made full payments of National Insurance and Income Tax. It is only over the last few years that I have received expensive hospital treatment for free for a serious illness.6 users thanked author for this post.
Sorry for your loss BT, but what’s in name cold, flu or covid there all respiratory illnesses, Spanish flu killed more than 50 million in 1918, up till 2 years ago we didn’t know of anyone dying from a covid virus yet it’s been around for 20 odd years, flu has been killing 100,000s per year for as long as I can remember and will carry on doing so until a cure is found.

Winter break suits me, stay in with a few vaccinated mates drinking beer. Let’s give it six weeks, football has been shite for the last three seasons anyway, let all the unvaccinated die and start again. Don’t mean to offend, just thinking like alcy but from a vaccinated viewpoint.

Not an attack on the elderly greylag, just an attack on an individual who believes you shouldn’t get hospital treatment if they are unvaccinated even if they have paid there taxes. I do hope though the NHS would give an intensive care bed to someone younger than us oap’s if there was a choice to be made.

What a stupid arse hole you are Awaywego, so just to correct your ignorance, I worked overseas for 40 years, and this brought into the British acconomy probably 4 0r 5 Million in foreign money, that is better than your few pounds working in a shop or probably on the dole more like, I also paid NI payments during those 40 years. And please do not forget that I also worked in the UK 13 years, paying full tax and NI payments, possibly earning more in those 13 years than you will in your sad lifetime !!!!!
So you think that people that reach pension age should be put down, well it is probably a good ides, but we have a vastly more right to be here than your bloody drop out illegal boat invaders, that have never, and probably will not contribute a bloody penny to Britain.
Anyway the News tonight are saying that 73% of hospital entries with Covid are people that have not been jabbed, so you can stick your bloody argument up your arse, you horribe prick.

I think you should have the jabs and if you don’t you are taking a bigger risk and also could be spreading it, I was Ill with the same symptoms before the Covid was announced and Doctors didn’t know what it was and didn’t know how to treat that infection and lots of other people had it, but Doctors now reckon it was Covid, but after having a chest infection for 7 weeks over twice the normal length of a chest infection I can assure you alcazar it wasn’t fun and Covid19 isn’t the flu and I know people who died from it, and it is the only time in my life I have had a tin of soup for Christmas Dinner, and spending most nights sleeping in the chair because it was a nightmare laying in bed because you had a struggle breathing when laid down, and since that time it has got a lot worse.
I had a similar period Mick, it was in Dec / Jan and early Feb, just before the Covid first came to be, I also went practically blind for about ten days, but the sight gradually came back, but not as good as before, during January, I lost my dear wife with breathing problems, I put both these down as Covid which so called started in Feb / March.
Hope you are feeling a bit better Mick, but as you say, it was probably Covid.

Jeez, this has really brought out the virologists & epidemiologists who walk among us.
There really are some heartless and thoughtless bastards on here.

Im on about the new moronic variant.
And if you confuse death figures by including first off those who died WITH covid alongside those who died OF covid, then confuse things further by insisting that anyone who dies of anything including road traffic accidents, within 28 days of a positive test, be recorded as a covid death, what do you expect from the more intelligent of us except scepticism?Open YOUR eyes.
And your comment about never meeting? Is that a threat?
You forgot to give any year where common cold deaths exceeded Covid.
How can “thankful we’ll never meet” be regarded as a threat? To me you’re a Covid risk, I have no desire to be near you. Is ignoring factual evidence a sign of intelligence then? That’s an interesting stance.2 users thanked author for this post.
Just shows it’s not only the old people get the virus.
