Wow, you are seriously hanging around in the worst echo chambers on the Internet, friend. 😆Pretty much everyone in my family went through COVID, all of us with mild symptoms, all of us with three, now four jabs in our system, all of us healthy again. It's a statistical thing and you know it. But never mind, the worst is probably behind us, anyway.
If you are talking about this place, I may agree.
Well, we do all seem to like this bloke James Bond, so I guess the echo is loud and effective.
But since I don't need a picture of a noose to make a point, I'm sure this forum will have little difficulty finding the right position to side with. Incidentally, such symbols of violence, threat, and intimidation are typical QAnon-like material. We're not that forum, Thunderfinger. Please refrain from stooping to their level while you're here.
Double standards-twice as good.
- Putin: invades other country, orders people slaughtered (preferably the innocent), threatens with nuclear war, ...
- Doctors & developers of vaccines: try to save people's lives.
People who are upset with Putin don't need made-up news, oblique statistics and online misinformation to see him as an evil that must be stopped. People who call for the assassination of doctors, virologists, vaccine developers, Bill Gates... need lies and fabricated truths to be dragged down this rabbit hole. So yes, a double standard, indeed, because both are very different.
We both have sons. We should be happy that child mortality is at an all-time low. The primary reason is that many threats to children have been eliminated in the past century thanks to vaccines, the work of paediatricians and those who have developed medicines that can cure diseases of all kinds. I'm confused why you, an intelligent man, seem to hate these people so much, why you seem to think there's a conspiracy going on to poison our offspring when child mortality numbers demonstrate the very opposite.
But, I'm breaking my own rule never to waste time trying to convince someone who has satisfied himself that people are conspiring against us, left and right, all the time, out to enslave us, to poison us, or some such thing. So while it's been entertaining as usual, Thunderfinger, my man, I'm going to turn my back on this discussion and once again whish your son a quick recovery.
And if you are confused by my views so called clashing with my intelligence as you say, well maybe the confusion isnt due to anything on my side.

Now I fully understand the resentment against the way the vaccines were forced upon people and there's plenty wrong with the pharmaceutical industry, but that doesn't make these jabs part of a worldwide plan. The interesting part of Bond is that he's fighting megalomaniacal villains. The reason why it's fantasy is because no human has been capable of devising such plans and bring them to fruition. Humans aren't that smart, especially not in government. Actually the one who's attempting such a thing is Vladimir Putin, who's daily killing hundreds of people so he can pretend to be Czar Peter 2. He said so himself three days ago. And whilst you worry about your niece bering a victim of some sort of conspiracy, I worry about my father-in-law and the rockets that land around him. But hey, it's unfair for me to wish the culprit of that situation dead of course....
Sorry, what did?
Just all this above. Thunderfinger was one of the nicest and most supportive members to me on our site.
Yes, I was friendly with him here too pretty much since he joined. I'm sure he'll be back with us again though like a phoenix arising out of the ashes. Thunderfinger is forever.
@CommanderRoss
I can share most of your criticism regarding Thunderfinger, but he's gone for now. Relax. He won't even answer to your posting at this time.
I won't miss him when political issues are concerned, and I also haven't really appreciated his constant posting of non-descript YouTube links where you didn't know if you'd discover a 1960s' music gem or some Q-Anon nonsense, though he did add some interesting things in diverse discussions regarding the primary subject of this board.
He may be back soon, and I hope on the condition that he doesn't keep spouting Putin war-of-aggression propaganda and sporting avatars that are 1930's Nazi posters. But other than that, let him have his deluded opinions. Nobody has to react to those, although I admit it's very, VERY hard for me to resist at times. There are limits for what you can swallow, and he's been beyond that limit repeatedly.
Let's hope for the best.
Just heard a high number of staff from my job have caught it, so likely it was from our service users Christmas Party last Thursday!! Oh well, last time I was bed ridden and didnt want to anything but sleep, this time there's a number of movies I bought throughout the year that I need catching up on! And there's always Bond.....!
Take good care, @Mathis1!
There is always a chance of a mini outbreak certainly this time of year, glad the symptoms are mild. do you still wear PPE at work?
No mate, we stopped wearing PPE quite a while back, though we do take temps each morning for everyone, and anyone with a sniffle is asked to do an antigen test!
Thanks for all the well wishes folks, feeling quite a bit better now!
Glad to hear that you're feeling a bit better, @Mathis1. I was off work last week with my first case of Covid-19, though I was able to work remotely from home which was good. I tested negative again on Sunday past so I was able to return to the office. It wasn't too bad, just mild flu-like symptoms for the first three or so days and a bit of a sniffle. Having the vaccines and the booster (albeit a year ago now) probably helped it not be too bad.
Good to hear you were negative. I hope to be the same at the weekend before I go back on Monday. Yes, the vaccine obviously helped a lot. My first bout of Covid, over a year ago, was pretty bad, and the fatigue afterwards took a toll on me for months.
We still wear mask's at all times when in presence of vulnerable adults, each respective County Council makes its own decisions regarding this.
We still take temperatures prior to entering buildings. I still have a few boxes of test kit's though only test if there is an outbreak or develop symptoms.
That's when it always seems to happen, isn't it? Our house caught the flu bad last year and all started to get really sick on the 23rd or 24th. Terrible timing. There was little fun to be had on Christmas morning, just wanted to crawl back into bed and do nothing.
I'm getting better thankfully and I think I should be okay for Christmas. But my fresh beer might get wasted.
I hope you get well soon, @Ludovico. Colds seem harmless, but they can be seriously annoying.
