2112 Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 3 minutes ago, Roger Mexico said: Yes the trouble is that if you use a phrase like "following a short period of illness in hospital" in the current circumstances, a lot of people are going to jump to conclusions. Even though most people who die under those circumstances won't have done so from Covid. Then perhaps the PR bods in the IOMG who are supposed to be highly experienced and highly paid, would have had the intelligence and the foresight, along with common sense to do a press release that doesn’t lead to speculation or open to interpretation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as they are concerned they are right and everyone is wrong. Some are like that on IOMNP Facebook, that well known site which proclaims that they are really caring. The Mods on here are firm and fair and will take action. Life’s too short to be a total pillock and perhaps some people should take a day off or two. Just to clarify most of trolls and bullies haven’t been seen on here for ages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the problem with twitter. Putting the inappropriateness of it aside, I’m astounded that a proper scientist is suggesting government make policy based on one data point. I have been one of Rachel’s biggest supporters on this board, and in real life, but she’s really ballsed this up. That Tweet needs to go, for many reasons. 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gladys Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 When I first heard the news, my first conclusion wasn't Covid; it could be heart, stroke, cancer amongst many other things. In fact, I made no connection to Covid. But by that tweet, Dr G has made a connection for me. Is she basing it on some knowledge or just her own speculation? Either way, it is pretty abhorrent firstly to make the connection, then to make a further connection in how it may influence IOMG policy. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for Dr Gs tweet, at the end of the day it comes down to ones values and integrity.

The other traditional excuse for posts like those is that much strong drink has been taken. Be interesting to see if there's a retraction, or a doubling down.
