Infection and hospital rates climbing rapidly. Death rates projected at 200 per day. Nearly 4m people at serious risk. New information coming out about the problems Covid cause the body if it doesn’t kill you. People laid up for the best part of a year with serious complications. Concern over the AstraZenica vaccine. Is it really wise to lift most of the restrictions on Monday? We have been told that we aren’t going back into another lockdown situation no matter what, but Whitty seems to think it might have to be on the cards.

1 in 3 people get cancer. Now that is something to be worried about. Just get on with life. The average age of death is higher than life expectancy itself!! Yes some are extremely unlucky. That applies to health in general. Sick of being scared of something I am unlikely to get and even more unlikely to be ill with.
Most cancers are not transmissible. If cancer was transmitted in the same way and caused as much death and serious illness in the same time scale I think you will find that it would be treated in the same way as covid. If we had just got in with it at the start there would be hundreds of thousands of people now in no position to be getting on with anything.

You are right most are not transmittable but if you dont treat or diagnose cancer you will find it kills an awful lot of people . Around 370,000 people 'catch' cancer each year and around 170,000 die from it . They are pre-pandemic figures do you reckon when we get the figures for the last 2 years they will be much much higher due to all the resources directed elsewhere ?
Who you previously said wasn't to be trusted? How do you justify continuing to suggest that his statements are trustworthy now? It demeans your other arguments.
Not really. He has text evidence and everything he says reinforces what other people who know him well say about him. I don’t trust his politics or his ideology but I have no reason to believe that he is making this stuff up. A lot of it has also been corroborated by other sources. Also it’s funny, don’t you think, that the very people who were backing him up when he was working for Johnson now say he is untrustworthy.

Whether those with opposing views have backed him in the past (or not) does not affect whether he is a deceiver (liar if you like). It is the unreliability of his behaviour and testimonies that have created this strange scenario . "He's honest today guv." He produced no hard evidence to back up his claims to the House of Commons Committee, despite being instructed to do so.
He may well have it, and be waiting to use it to maximum effect later. But you have no evidence that he does, just here-say and faith. We have seen with the likes of Trump, and to some degree Boris, that some folk will believe politicians' barefaced and proven lies no matter what. There is no doubt that people who nestle up hugger mugger with cheats and liars should not expect the rational world to trust their word and judgement.
Pedalling beliefs based on rumours and unsubstantiated accusations is pretty much how cults and lynch mobs operate. You usually come across as much wiser than that.
I liked the part where Cummings was scathing of Carrie having too much influence, despite not being elected. And them went on to day he was considering mounting some sort of "coup" to oust Boris from power soon after the election..
Cummings' own self importance is getting the better of him
Political claptrap. Its really about protecting the public from a killer disease, even protecting loonies who won’t have the vaccine yet circulate amongst us.
