Wrap up warm it must be cold on that lofty perch of yours. 

That’s not an argument. 

Which part of the link I sent you do you take issue with? Or are you just going to assume you’re entitled to your opinion no matter how badly you’ve established it?

Scaremongering from some scientists

The scientist in question was actually talking about the effects of the pandemic being felt for 10-15 years so the 1m deaths to COVID are for that total period. The Tweets you’ve shared aren’t a fair account of that article.

Here’s the relevant part just to give the full picture:

“The problem with a pandemic is that it’s not like a tap and you can’t just turn it off,” said Professor Lucy Easthope of Durham University, who advises the Cabinet Office and specialises in disaster response. “When planning for a pandemic it is generally accepted that the effects will last for between ten and 15 years. I don’t think we have been very honest with the public about this. When you are swimming for the shore, it is important to tell people how long the swim is.”

Easthope predicts the ultimate UK death toll could reach a million.

Even that seems a massive exaggeration

The chairman of the World Medical Association, Frank Ulrich Montgomery today on German television today.
„But we will never get rid of Corona again. In certain situations we will always have to wear masks or wash hands“, so Montgomery, „this includes keeping our distance and re-vaccination“

and about the UK and todays final it seems to be „completely irresponsible to make such loosening with these values and with a halting vaccination campaign“

He wondered how many people would be infected in the evening at the European Championship final at Wembley Stadium. "And I dread it a little."

a complete jerk - what haltering vaccination campaign? - is it the World`s End? his whole comments are completely ridiculous and out of place.

I dont care about washing hands and booster jabs but anyone saying we need to keep social distancing forever can stick it up their bum

 

He's probably upset we knocked Germany out the world Cup!

Lol was just a joke (he also literally had a go at us hosting the football)

Post shit then try and laugh it off as a jolly jest when it's not well received.

M.O. since about March 2020.

That comment made me laugh 😂

On a serious note though - my assumption, as I've said before, is that any easing over summer is temporary. The lack of honesty over this is worrying because people will be SO angry when it all starts again
