So many questions



Below is one of the comments on this piece about the effectiveness of face masks. Blasts another commenter out of the water in a most entertaining way I thought.

Interesting points, John
Perhaps you can tell me :

Why was 99.8% of a healthy population quarantined?
Why was over 50% of deaths with ‘suspected’ COVID19 in “care” homes.
What Was Done To Try And Reduce those Deaths In “Care” Homes.
Why were no autopsies done.
Why was the probability of dying from SAR-CoV2 almost Zero in the age group 0 – 64 years.
Why was taxpayer money spent on creating hospital beds in stadia/shopping malls which were never used.
What constitutes a death from SARS-CoV2 in a “care” home.
What is a COVID19 case.
When do you stop being a COVID19 case.
Why were GP surgeries effectively closed.
Why were surgical appointments postponed.
Why were regular medical treatments postponed.
Why were regular medical checkups postponed.
Why did GP’s and hospitals not follow up on people most at risk. (Over 75)
WHY were illegal Do Not Resuscitate orders allowed.
Why were people allowed to die with cancer, alzhiemers and other diseases, at home and alone.
Why was the NHS allowed to work at half capacity for so long whilst people were dying at home.
Why did A&E visits drop by over 50% during lockdown.
Why did ambulance calls fall by 40% during lockdown.
Why were so many NHS staff and “care” home staff allowed to be off work during lockdown.
Why are NHS and “care” home staff described as heroes.
What is a “key” worker.
Why were schools closed when no child has been known to die from a SARS-CoV2 infection.
Why were children denied an education.
Why were children not allowed to take exams.
Why were so many healthy people put out of work.
Why were so many small businesses put out of business.
Why were Western economies wrecked.
Why were television adverts from banks to hair product filmed as if they were shot on mobile phones.
What is the prevalence of “infection”.
What is the percentage of susceptible people given the low probability of dying.
What is the probability of testing positive and actually being positive.
Why are 70% of world deaths attributed to SARS-CoV2 from just 8 countries?
Bearing in mind that one of these countries is India with 0.003% of deaths in a population of over 1.3 billion.
This is from a British perspective.
Perhaps you need to do some more in-depth research.

Facts don't work on cult members

One unacceptable fact is that the National Death Service is saving a 4king fortune.

It would be even more entertaining if this string of questions could feature in Prime Minister's Questions.

The most telling issue for me is the much-lauded construction of those Nightingale Hospitals and the turning over of most of the NHS into an anti-Covid Agency. Had they any idea of what measures were required to "save our NHS" then they would not have been built. But there they are. Absolute proof that the Government were, at that time, simply clueless about what to do.

Admittedly, we now have more data in about the disease. But it does raise the question as to whether facemasks are the new useless response. And what the next useless response will be.

Time is now running backwards - it's the only explanation for why masks are now mandatory (when 4 months ago they made at least some sense). So I guess next we'll have 2m instead of 1m spacing, pubs closed again, etc., etc.

Out today - hardly anyone was wearing a mask.
Went into a pub - no request to mask up.

What an incompetent and utterly confused band of cretins we have in charge!

Graeme - they don't but there is a small chance of confusing them.

Jannie - it must be, although it will never be admitted.

Sam - the next useless response seems suspiciously like "it's all your fault" obesity and "you should have done more cycling" distractions.

Ed - the most absurd aspect of mask rules is that they don't appear to have any enforceable standards applied to them. As far as I can see a mask made from old net curtains would do.
