....they ain't messing about are they!

[Gromit]

Seeing as our hospital wards all over the UK are crammed to over flowing with double jabbed patients who have contracted Covid, what is the point ?

Over quarter of a million new cases this week, and they are not predominantly young people.

[Deskdiary]

Crammed to overflowing. Really?

[Peter Pedant]

AB is fount of all troof

Sixty percent of people being admitted to hospital with COVID-19 are unvaccinated, the government's chief scientific adviser has said.

I am surprised it is so low

[ToraToraTora]

have a day off gromit, in Jan there were 40000 people in hospital, now there are 8000 and many less of them are dying and they are spending less time in hospital and ill generally.

[Mozz71]

Can't say I blame the Italians. If memory serves me correctly, the suffered pretty badly during the height of the pandemic.

[Deskdiary]

It’s fanciful nonsense from Gromit that hospitals are “crammed” with Covid patients. There may be a lot (but a lot less than other ailments) but they ain’t “crammed”.

In the past seven days, there were 211,303 new cases and that's a decrease of 22.4 per cent.

IT should also be No mask at work , sack em .No mask in a shop or supermarket
No service. The anti maskers are as bad as the anti vaccine clowns they are just pig headed idiots.

Sorry but to express that *factually* it should read "In the past seven days, there were 211,303 new cases of People tested positive".

What a totally ridiculous thing to propose gullible.
Get back into your dark place. Stop missing your meds.
It’s plain who’s the idiot here.

Looking forward to seeing that link !

[ToraToraTora]

not sure who is the most ridiculous cobras on this thread, gromit or gulliver! I expect it from Gulliver but Gromit seems to be catching him up for sheer plonkery!

[Deskdiary]

Don’t react David Small. It’s what it wants. It’s what all trolls want.

[gulliver1]

22.54 Mr Smallman stop burying your head in the sand , covid must be taken seriously,why do you object to wearing a mask.Your insults prove that you are lost for words and have lost the argument. You are starting to get as stupid as TGT.

[THECORBYLOON]

SEVENOP, you are correct yet you didn't think to pick up GROMIT when he said there had been over a quarter of a million new cases this week?

[ToraToraTora]

Gully I think they have a vacancy for un idiota del villaggio!

CORBYLOON : "SEVENOP, you are correct yet you didn't think to pick up GROMIT when he said there had been over a quarter of a million new cases this week?"

Well spotted Corby,,, Gromit do you know there is a difference between covid cases and those tested positive with SARS-CoV-2 ?
Ang Gromit, can you give any evidence for your claim "Seeing as our hospital wards all over the UK are crammed to over flowing with double jabbed patients who have contracted Covid" ?
Only asking so we can all review the evidence.

What absolute garbage.

Point me to a study that shows they work, and not someone saying 'may'.

The facts:-

[ToraToraTora]

from danny's link:
"Here’s a simple thought experiment: imagine everyone is now fully protected with covid vaccines—which are excellent, but not 100% effective at preventing death. Some people who get infected with covid will still die, although far fewer than without vaccinations. With complete vaccination coverage all of these people will be fully vaccinated—100%. That doesn’t mean vaccines aren’t effective at reducing death—the overall number of people dying from covid will have been reduced dramatically." - indeed, now Gromit+gully please read and digest.
