wake up and see the truth?

Really interesting.

It is an incredible situation: hospitals empty of cases, no one dying now.

But they are considering locking Birmingham down...

What the fuck is going on?

They simply cannot accept that media hyped this into a lethal plague whereas in fact it has always been a trivial virus for the vast majority and when health services understood how to cope, the danger grew even less (plus, as you see, most really vulnerable have died by now).

They keep parroting "guided by science" instead of being guided by common sense.

Frederick Forsyth clear and devastating about the current lunacy.

And includes the conclusion that lockdown has - so far - taken at the very least 21 000 more lives than Covid, according to 3 independent enquiries.

When will government realise that poverty kills or is that part of the plan?🤔🧐

Are the media doing this deliberately or is it just lazy journalism? I genuinely have no idea....

www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-53868447

"STA travel has become the latest travel firm to fall victim to the coronavirus pandemic".

This is how nearly all the fall out from lockdown I see is reported.

As if businesses are like bodies struck by a virus.

They have been struck by lockdown, which was a choice made by Gov.

Apologies to be going on again, but I genuinely don't understand the reason for such inaccurate and misleading language.

Is there an agreement between Gov and media to protect the Gov?

Are most journalists now just crap with language?

Anyone have any ideas why this powerful and pervasive misreporting continues?

this concentration on Covid & various government cock-ups whether by incompetence or design completely over-shadow the looming disaster of Brexit and how the Tories are in fact using Covid to re-organize society along certain lines.

by the way if you want go on numbers..they are saying there has been a puzzling increase in deaths in the USA this year way beyond the normal figures..of around 217,000 (not labelled Covid).

Covered-up Covid deaths? One NY borough had trucks of corpses parked in the street. Who knows? Could just be 100 factors causing the increase.

## I think the persistent arrogant labeling of people as "gullibles" is so demeaning when you know fuck all yourself and are just putting froward theories based on no evidence but a notion.
# I mean that in a caring and sharing way.

If interested in how we might have fared without panicking about Covid, destroying the economy and ruining our country this is excellent:

I do feel the tide is turning now in mainstream media (though with lazy language when describing the effects of lockdown).

I know we have lost Barney on here but the "other camp" also seem very quiet now. Yes, could be sheer boredom, but I don't think so...

Let's hope the Gov just quietly drop the whole agenda and move on. Fast; before more people lose their lives.

I tend to shy away from conspiracy theories and tend to think this is just incompetence. I can though see how handy Covid is for the other Government disaster of Brexit.

What lines do you belive the Tories are trying to organize society along under this Hedda?

I so agree with your point on language wyot; they stopped for a while, referring instead to the lockdown provoked by Coronavirus, but they have all reverted to simply saying Coronavirus. It infuriates me.

And Hedda, in a caring, sharing way, though I don't go along with your theory of dozens of bodies in trucks, I do think one of the problems of misunderstanding the true meaning of Covid19 (because of media inflation) has been many aspects of it have been ignored.

As I've said elsewhere, my aching hip, still going on, was, I'm certain, provoked by my brief batch of Covid19 and NOT just by having to sit inside for months. This trivial virus (for most - it gets less lethal by the day) has many unpleasant side effects, some of which, I'm sure, do cause death "for other reasons" further down the line. I don't think I'm going to die from an aching hip but you never know.

after a 2 day visit to hospital to see my dear pal Sister Morphine one particular complaint has been resolved.

Doctors and nurses fussed over me like there was no tomorrow (almost wasn:t) but my win is 1000 of other's loss.

all elective surgery on hold and 100s of restaurant, bars, clubs shut down (empty emergency wards).

I salute The Gullible without whom this would not be possible.

amazing..nearly all the nurses where Irish or Scots with beautiful regional accents.

Amazing how many messages I'm getting saying "you were right all along" as cases multiply, hospitals remain empty, hardly any deaths every day.
