Freedom Day

[Fuzzy Necromancer]

Edit: the UK is going to lift all covid restrictions and call it "freedom day", despite the objections of NHS doctors.

So, how about that attempt by England to kill as many people, especially disabled ones, as possible? They might even send vaccine-resistant variants to nations that still have some precautions in place as a bonus! .-.

Didn't you have a problem with me posting cryptically in the past?

My bad. I've been seeing so much about it that I forgot not everyone knows what Freedom Day is. Honestly it's the kind of malarky I expect from this country more than the UK.

It's the UK. At this point in time I think the country has a secret agenda to screw themselves and everyone else over, just for the heck of it. You kinda expect it to happen and actually should be surprised, if it doesn't, instead of the other, normal, sensible way around.

And here I thought the UK had more common sense than the US.

You guys know Brexit happened by referendum? Grand sweeping international economic policy was put to a vote.

Almost as if it's a democracy. *gasp*

UK here.

30,000 die from flu. Where's the lockdown for that? 24,000 die in road traffic accidents. Where's the curfew for cars? 160,000 die from heart attacks. Where is the ban on McDonalds? 166,000 cancer deaths. Where is the ban on smoking, fat, salt, sugar etc.

Covid is an absolute anomaly. We have taken steps to prevent it that we haven't for any other leading form of death. Meanwhile, thousands are dying because of missed cancer screenings. People are committing suicide due to loneliness. Millions of jobs lost. Whole industries will never be the same again. An estimated 1 billion face masks dumped, with an average degradation time of 450 years.

You know what I think? I think the lockdown advocates are the selfish ones at this point. This is a threat that needs to be lived with before the cure is more harmful than what we are fighting.

PS I'm still happy with my Brexit vote. Do you know who you should blame if you aren't? The 28% of people who didn't bother to vote. That would have been enough to overturn it. You don't like the course of your history but were too lazy to change it? Tough tits. You had your chance. Same as the 43% of Americans who couldn't be bothered to vote in 2016 and woke up to find Trump in the White House.

129,000 died in the UK from Covid versus the 30,000 from the flu. Gee what would be the difference?

Accidents happen. That is life. But the way you are acting is like, well they happen anyway might as well let anyone drive, lift the laws of the roads, and all markings.

Because that is what you are suggesting.

Cancer screenings can make mistakes or people don't get them done. Might as well not do them right?

Or all of the examples you have made, has precautions, rules, laws, vacinnes, or technology to improve it already in place and continue to improve them.
