Wuhan Killer Sneeze (thanks Tea)

[Mr. Tea]

All those flu jabs being pushed out pre-Covid. What a Liberal con. MMR jabs completely futile, anti-viral drugs for HIV another waste of resources. I long for a world with small pox, every day.

@sceptics does this cover it?

@sceptics vs @septics

On a more positive note I did buy a mixed biscuit selection in the big shop yesterday and I am looking forward to opening them tomorrow, possibly with a very strong coffee

i always see mixed biscuits as biscuits for cheese rather than for tea, but probably he did mean tea

Masses of species extinctions = this bbq’s on me lads

have you read libidinal economy?

no one under the age of 30 has read a book

 

[luka]

thats' why people under the age of 30 are so much cleverer than the rest of us. theyre maximising their time. capitalism taught them how to learn effeciently and the internet gave them the tools to do it

These biscuits don't go well with tea, I can tell you that for nothing.

 

[wild greens]

Ah I don't like biscuits with cheese need the crunch

some encouraging news here.

U.S. COVID Cases Continue to Plummet

Deaths, a lagging indicator of the overall situation, are still at the abominably high levels they were weeks ago. But, in a hopeful sign, both hospitalizations and cases are falling — and fast.

Cases are still much higher than they were a few months ago. But, according to the COVID Tracking Project, the seven-day average is the lowest since the end of November, and has fallen 30 percent since the peak in mid-January. This dip constitutes the sharpest fall throughout the pandemic. And there is reason to believe that, unlike after previous drops, the numbers may not climb back up again.

some encouraging news here.

U.S. COVID Cases Continue to Plummet

About 25 million people have contracted COVID, according to official statistics — but the actual number is thought to be multiples higher, perhaps more than 100 million.

wow, that's close to a third of the entire population?

 

[luka]

yyaldrin are you wishing you were back home hurling molotovs at the pigs?

 

[yyaldrin]

yes i was so proud of all those teens. i had never expected such a thing in the netherlands. what made me really sad though is the extreme state repression that followed, young kids getting absurd penalties just for throwing a stone in the heat of the moment.

 

[yyaldrin]

and also it will probably mean that the extreme right is gonna profit from this coming elections. i think mark rutte is actually worse than margeret thatcher and half of the country is gonna vote for him.

UK overall deaths doing something weird while Covid cases and deaths fall and plateau.

Increase in Covid nowhere near enough to add 7k deaths like that:

 

[wild greens]

The hospitals got overwhelmed kid

Not sure if you know anyone in the profession but the last few weeks have been catastrophic. Very badly calculated, lot of people not getting attention they should. Lots of overflow into wards that weren't equipped. Could go on

 

[wild greens]

That December run on the shops & schools really fucked us all

 

[mixed_biscuits]

It's had such an impact on non-Covid outcomes...why has it not been reported?

 

[mixed_biscuits]

That December run on the shops & schools really fucked us all

Care homes much more impactful, surely?

Going back to this Dutch rioting thing, it's reminiscent of 2011 riots here, draconian sentences and ppl being made an example of.

 

[mixed_biscuits]

What are these sudden jumps all about?
