Covid 19 is in the same virus family as the common cold, we have a very strong variant of the common cold that kills the same as some variants of influenza.
What do you think happens when the common people are dependent on the state for support? Full population control.
Alright Irons...for arguments sake...let call it Influ 2...not Covid...
It's put about this new variant of Influenza is among us...same stats as covid...everything..
Do you go oh well just another Virus...thats Life,or try and stop it killing people....what it's called is irrelevant.
it's what it does and is doing.
Every Countries Economy is screwed at moment...when this is over,still be a backlash for 18 months or so...
Come an election people will see a stagnant Economy and vote the Government they have out....
Governments have absolute nothing to gain from this...Merkals going but she'd would have gone on the back of this
anyway..Same Macron in France...they'll all be scapegoated..
Were Not an Autonomy politically...what you say works elsewhere not here.
Hey MK, I imagine you are not going to agree with my reply, but here goes.
Firstly I believe as a society, we have become too preoccupied with extending life as far as possible, so now this new super cold comes along and the concept of allowing it to get on and do what it wants (which will happen anyway regardless of pointless lockdowns) is seen like murder.
It's funny that you bring up influenza, in 2018 a rather nasty new strain hit the country and we had over 50k extra winter deaths, mainly elderly people, no lockdowns, NHS coped without cancelling everything else.
Most people seem to have forgotten that the government and the NHS chose to send elderly people, positive with covid into care homes, where the vast majority of the deaths in spring occurred, yet continue to follow all the bullshit rules verbatim.
It's funny you say every country's economies are screwed, but that's not true, the country that shared videos of people collapsing in the street from covid, the country that championed locking people indoors, the country that won't let inspector's in to investigate the birth of covid....... China.
What you also need to remember is there is no such thing as a poor politician, and they get richer when they leave office. They will do whatever benefits then in the long run and they couldn't give a fuck if you live or die.
