If you relentlessly fuck about with nature, nature will get it's own back, every single time.

Some of the responses on that post mind - we need to level China etc, how many tens  (or hundreds ) of millions of deaths would trying to do that cause

There are more pandemics coming. I have absolutely no doubt about that. It’s no longer a onnce-in-a-hundred years event. That is precisely because we’re destroying biodiversity. More pathogens will find their way from animal to human. This is just the beginning.

Didn’t you (or someone else) post a piece in here a while back about that? I.e. pathogens in rain forests etc needing to find new hosts as those places are destroyed?

Yeah, it was right at the start of the pandemic and it made perfect sense. I can’t remember which source it was from. More credible and convincing than the Chinese lab conspiracy and also explained the increase in similar cases in recent years - bird flu, swine flu, Ebola etc

Are we seeing the start of the 3rd wave ?

Number of people testing positive for coronavirus rises to highest level since April

A total of 17,162 people tested positive for COVID-19 in England at least once in the week to 26 May, up 22% on the previous week, according to the latest Test and Trace figures.

It is the highest number of people testing positive since the week to 14 April.

Tbf, I'm not sure it's that much of a surprise that when you open up all the shops and pubs and let people socialise again that the COVID rate increases....

 

The gutter press can't make their minds up whether the government is doing a good job or bad job, that masks are necessary or unnecessary, that lockdown is needed or an infringement on our civil liberties. Quite often page 1 argues with page 2 these days.

 

The jab doesn't stop you catching covid iirc, just prevents you from getting seriously ill from it. So it doesn't matter how many people we vaccinate, when we end lockdown we are going to have another spike?

It also reduces the chance of you transmitting covid by 40-60% according to early data. Once we reach a tipping point of vaccinations then it should be in retreat. It is likely that covid is something we're going to have to live with like the common flu. The problem is we're opening up before we've reached that tipping point. I think the point we're at at the moment with bars and restaurants re-opening is sensible. Abandoning all restrictions on 21st June and opening things like festivals, gigs and nightclubs that mainly attract younger, unvaccinated people seems very premature to me.

I don't think we should open fully until all adults are fully vaccinated. 

 

I also think the way they're ignoring other countries and not  considering vaccinating kids and instead deliberately throwing them under the bus of "natural" infection is a mistake as they and the unvaccinated adults are just petri dishes for mutations which could fuck everybody.

There's a slap to the face of murphy's law if I've ever read one.

 

I had the first dose of the budget vac (AZ) the other day, two days of low grade symptoms, I suppose that's the advantage of being immune suppressed.

Just waiting for the side effect of the urge to start voting Tory to kick in.
