    I don't believe there is a conspiracy but then i stopped listening to MSM bullshit years ago.We certainly have a virus amongst us that has the ability to kill a lot of people, how many people it actually does kill is open to interpretation.

    Wife's mate went for a covid test

    She gave all her details and for some reason or other she never took the actual test

    She got contacted with a positive result a little while later

    Make of that what you will

    6000+ new cases yesterday but no news showing increased hospital admissions or the NHS under any real pressure unlike in March where they were panicking like feck.
    Seems a bit odd.

    The test allocated to her on the records has probably been used for the next patient who will be waiting forever for their result. Human feckup

    Getting too deep into tinfoil hat territory for me. Gonna have to step back.

    In my view theres not one element of the outcome that could not have been produced more simply without covid.

    It's all about fear though. If people are scared enough they'll agree to anything. That's what this virus has done, provide a catalyst for fear, and that's why Government's and the media are overreacting so much. They are spreading the fear so that as they strip people of their freedoms, their human rights, people will willing let them because they've been sold the lie that the alternative is far worse.

    Now that is tin foil hat territory. :cool:

    How else would you criminalise basic socialisation and prevent freedom of movement without convincing people it could be deadly?

    If there IS an agenda, a 'deadly virus' is the perfect scenario for every outcome we're seeing.

    It is an injection. Usually it is over 65 and selected other medical reasons get it for free.

    They have said this year 50-64 could also be getting it free but not until Nov/Dec ish depending on availability. Currently none available

    Makes sense that i get a text telling me to book an apponitment when there are no stocks available. Good old NHS, my Dads been waiting since before lockdown for an eye operation to a point where i have to read his mail to him because he can hardly see.

    Depending who asked you to make an appointment and why you are being offered it they may already have stock in their system. There is just a lack in the overall system. GPs will be prioritising people that are eligible, so the oldest and those with more complex medical needs first

    But why would restricting basic socialisation be a benefit to anyone?

    I don't see who wins from that.
