Well I’ve seen some with emphysema including my father and uncle which is caused by smoking along with numerous other diseases. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yes, I know that, but I meant the disease caused by smoking could not be passed on, like Covid-19 and flu. I used to smoke in front of others, but looking back, I may have harmed them. Hate smoke now. Not smoked for almost 20 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 55 minutes ago, Out of the blue said: I agree that Boris is worse than useless, however Whitty and Co have imho allowed themselves to be used to spread political scare propaganda. That graph is one of many scenarios that didn't get highlighted and are just as likely, and it was noticeable that they verbally tried to distance themselves from it, however as I said earlier people will just look at the coloured lines and the huge numbers, with their faces next to it. There were no bold text disclaimers. They're focus is understandably on reducing health issues above all else, but I think that they are now in danger of losing their credibility in much the same way as Ferguson has with his 500k deaths prediction. I prefer to believe they are astute enough to not get embroiled in the politics. Here's why. They are very much in the public eye. That includes the vultures of the UK rabid right wing press in thrall to the agenda of the owner. Which is to say pretty much all of it. Which is why you can safely ignore anything by The Sun, Sky, Telegraph, Mail, Express and so forth. They also know that their right wing Brexit poster boy has proved to be amazingly more useless than even those who know him expected. So if they can spread the blame for the catastrophe he has caused they will. With rubbishing Whitty and Vallance being a good starting point. So you can bet they'll be watching their arses. With Brexit they'll just blame the EU like they've been doing for years and years and years.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this true? Haven't heard anything from the school. That's how they vaccinate kiddies. It's a good idea. Cheap too. Just arm the Nit Nurse with the spray and it's "Job Done" sticker.

TheTeapot Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 (edited) They don't have a nit nurse anymore. And I know that a spray is an option. The question is, is it happening? I can't be arsed phoning the school, I don't get on with the mole. Edit - according to this they are, and I should have got a letter. Guess I'll have to ring up anyway. https://www.gov.im/categories/health-and-wellbeing/health-advice/vaccinations/childhood-flu/ Edited September 22, 2020 by TheTeapot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banker Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Do we have same rules as Guernsey when someone self isolating with family has the 7 day test and is positive then all family members in households also have to isolate for 14 days? https://guernseypress.com/news/2020/09/22/self-isolation-rules-must-be-followed-dr-brink/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to me there’s just a lot of frightened idiots on this forum who just like to spread doom and mass hysteria... You've been pushing the same old rote since the outset and quite how a natural fear of this virus amongst the population somehow manifests itself as "doom and mass hysteria" is monumentally over-egging it. Laughable and nothing short of drama-queen hyperbole. You're the one displaying an hysterical agenda, day in day out, same old same old... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
