Just look at other warm countries that have had it bad. Link to post Share on other sites

I did take zinc through the summer & I’ve always taken COD liver oil with added vit d. Those are the only supplements of such I’ve ever taken. We have really stepped up the healthy eating in recent years & even more so this year for obvious reasons. We’ve also been working out most of the year. I stopped drinking for 3 months before Christmas, like I did at the beginning of the year. Anything really to try & boost our immune systems throughout this year & going into this winter...... ...but who knows if any of that could of made a difference? It does seem to be a bit of a lottery in many cases. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Well the lockdowns don’t seem to be working here now and I’d put money on the death rate dropping dramatically over the summer, that must tell you something and it’s been the same story most other countries 1 Link to post Share on other sites

That'd make a canny THL comp, videoing ourselves sky rocketing parcels up onto balconies, and shot putting others several gardens down the strip, jukels riding shotgun, it'll be reet 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites

If I'm not mistaken the cases dropped when we went in to full lockdown? Now you know as well as me that a big majority of people (me included) have not followed lockdown rules, so let's not pretend we have. The cases have simply risen and fallen with the seasons mate nothing we have done seems to have had any real effect apart from crippling our economy and putting unemployment through the roof, possibly different were you are but that’s all I,m seeing, mixed messages and lies from the people in charge large amounts of public money being wasted it’s the blind leading the blind with one lot pretending they no were they are going and the other half following them round in circles, 1 Link to post Share on other sites

This study aims to analyze the effect of lockdown days on the spread of coronavirus in countries. COVID-19 cases and lockdown days data were collected for 49 countries that implemented the lockdown between certain dates (without interruption). The correlation tests were used for data analysis based on unconstrained (normal) and constrained (Tukey-lambda). The lockdown days was significantly correlated with COVID-19 pandemic based on unconstrained (r = −0.9126, F-ratio = 6.1654; t-ratio = 2.40; prob > .0203 with 49 observations) and based on Tukey-lambda (r = 0.7402, λ = 0.14). The lockdown, one of the social isolation restrictions, has been observed to prevent the COVID-19 pandemic, and showed that the spread of the virus can be significantly reduced by this preventive restriction in this study. This study offers initial evidence that the COVID-19 pandemic can be suppressed by a lockdown. The application of lockdown by governments is also thought to be effective on psychology, environment and economy besides having impact on Covid-19." from https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7293850/ Link to post Share on other sites

I,m nearly 60 and have never had one, turn it down every time it’s offered, my wife took it once and was worse than having the flu but once again I just think we should all catch these things to build a proper immunity not as I,ve said before a 4/250 chance of some panel guessing what strain will be around next year as that is all you are getting, it may work like a placebo for some as a lot of the time people are not actually vaccinated against the strains that materialises that year, if you don’t mind me asking has your daughter got anything wrong that she should need extra assistance as I imagine she is not that old ???

I've never had the jab tbh but my sisters daughter has had the flu vaccine for a few seasons now and she's been right as rain. We turned down the offer for my daughter anyway, hopefully it doesn't bite us in the arse. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

socks 32,253 Posted January 4, 2021 Report Share Posted January 4, 2021 I didn’t see him saying he is anti Vax just doesn’t want the flue jab. I’ve had dozens of vaccines pumped into me because of all the shit holes I’ve had to travel to and all my kids had their mandatory jabs but I’ve never had a flue jab and won’t be having the covid jab. That doesn’t make me an anti vaxer ........ 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites
