Control. An afraid population is easier to control.

You could put it that way.

But what about the autocratic Governments that already control their population - what's in it for them, as they already have that power?
Are all the Pharma/Biosimilar companies part of this conspiracy as well, including all the virologists and epidemiologists who don't work for them?
Does that mean there aren't all those sick people in hospitals all over the world, and that all the medics in all the countries are lying?

Re: Coronavirus
Why would countries like New Zealand work so hard to eliminate the virus in that case and not just let a few cases in, and bring in restrictions all over again?

Re: Coronavirus
The hospitals are reaching a crisis point. What would you want them to do differently? I am struggling to see what exactly you're objecting too in these threads because you complain about the government/NHS not having a plan whilst seeming to suggest the Government are scaremongering even as the cases and deaths go off the chart.

When this all started there was media coverage all over the news ,now there is just words ,maybe if these hospitals at "crisis" point were televised live it might go some way to convince people it was true.

At least this new variant seems to rippping through the population at a pace, vaccination + infection at this speed and we’ll all be done by spring!

I can't get away from the coverage of the pandemic on the BBC or Sky or any other media outlet so I can't see your point.

Re: Coronavirus
The Manchester Evening News has published an article to-day written by David Oliver who is an experienced NHS Consultant Physician and medical writer from Manchester.
Quote:
He has played a variety of national medical leadership and policy roles and has a weekly column in the British Medical Journal.
He currently manages Covid wards at a hospital in the south of England. Here, he takes on three arguments commonly made by 'lockdown sceptics' - arguments he says are undermining public safety.
|
It's quite a long article but having closely followed this thread from its first post through to the this morning's posts I I have a good idea which of oiur members will bother to read it and which will dismiss it immediatly because for various reasons they consider that what they are being told is either downright lies meant o scare the "poor gulible fools who cower away behind the barracades" or the "I know better than all the experts and I refuse to accept that there is a problem or worse still the " well if I don't actually know any one who died and everyone I know who got wasn't that ill" so why do I have follow any guidelines.
