:covid_19: 😷 šŸ„ Corona Virus the thread for all your fears ā“

I know you didn’t mean that - just need to be careful on here :wink:

The issue is though Bletch, they can make that commitment, because they’re fucking liars.

So children are fine and once we have it we’re immune. Right?

Perhaps not.

Once in a very long while, I look at a twitter thread. This usually happens about six or eight months after the last one I looked at, and invariably only serves to remind me of why I don’t bother.

There is so much risible bullshit spouted on that one, starting squarely with the OP. This response was one of the few sensible ones;
If this is true then said doctor should speak publicly to the press/TV not hide behind the anonymity of twitter with the inherent bluster that follows this type of tweet. I have no political agenda I just want to see a real face tell me the truth. That isolated piece of commonsense hadn’t been appreciated by anyone. The rest is mainly sensationalist witch-hunt nonsense straight out of the ā€œstring-em-upā€ school, with exaggerations and distortions so ludicrous as to be unwittingly amusing. And the more extreme the crap spouted, the more ā€œlikesā€ of approval they garner, which is presumably the object of the exercise. I honestly cannot understand why anyone bothers with this platform, it’s like Buzzfeed for social media but minus the intelligence and comparatively searing insight.

For fucksake. :rage:

It’s okay, Michael Gove just guaranteed the safety of teachers.
And he’s never lied to the public before, so get back to work you workshy militant snowflakes!
He also praised the amazing job that Matt Hancock is doing, it’s been one glorious triumph after another…protecting care homes, delivering PPE, ramping up testing, we’ve certainly sent this virus packing!
Go Matt.
Go Michael.

Tge tweet was a precis of an email published in The Telegraph
Unfortunately I’ve read too many Torygraph links this month & the original is now paywalled.

Yes, so I saw on the snopes page. That doesn’t make it any less tenuous.

Also what is a Covid cardiologist? It seems a very specific job title, does he only roll out during Covid outbreaks? If I call myself a Covid physiotherapist can I get a payrise?

That’s so beautifully powerful.

I’d really like to slap Gove right across the face.

Im genuinely astounded at the Tory ploy of trying to convince everyone that they’re opening schools to help the poorest and most disadvantaged. Since when did they give a shit about those people? Gove seems to think the people will believe that the past 10 yrs of Tory govt has closed the gap between different sections of pupils. People aren’t that daft, are they?

Christ, you’re right!!! :open_mouth:

I am now retitling myself as a ā€œCovid Sound Technicianā€ , and hiking my prices by 50%.:+1::+1::+1:

He really is a cunt of the highest order (Gove not Fatso)

The worst thing is that there are plenty who believe this shit… and The Torys think they can keep lying and getting away with it because they have been doing that for so long… I mean if you can convince the poorest that their situation is not the result of Tory austerity but of the EU/Corbyn/foreigners etc, then a few little lies about COVID 19 are a piece of piss for these masters of falsehood…

But as they are the guardians and defenders of true democracy… they should be forgiven for all the cuntish things they do…

Fatso is as well, to be fair.

It’s difficult to argue with that
