There's been lots of dumb af antisemitic conspiracy theories promoted by MPs in recent years. Which one are you talking about?
The one I posted just a few posts above yours, of course.
Its depressing how innumerate much of the media is.
Today's example, the details have come tonight on how gyms can reopen (one of the last to do so for obvious reasons). The regulations require a minimum of 100 square feet of total net useable area per person permitted into the building to enable social distancing - with journalists screaming it must be some mistake or a typo. That there's no way to operate with 100 sq feet of space.
Hint: 100 square feet is not 100 feet squared and is approximately the same as 3 metres squared - the average gym has 20,000 sq ft of net useable area so it would mean a capacity of 200 people.
What are you talking about? Unless there's something not loading on my screen I don't see any antisemitic conspiracies or anything just promoted by MPs that you've written on this page.Quote:

I disagree with him on this and did at the time.
That's not aged well but has nothing to do with antisemitism.
Nor is it a conspiracy theory.
Other than that . . . not sure what to say.
Person who isn't an MP posted something months ago that hasn't aged hardly ranks up there.
Ah yes, sorry, a person who was until recently an MEP with an inordinate influence in British politics promoting a conspiracy theory by an antisemitic conspiracy theorist.
What conspiracy theory?
Are you saying the idea there had been no catastrophe by that date in May after reopenings of those states was a conspiracy theory?
You have a weird obsession with Hannan but its just weird here. He's just not that important nor is his judgment on this.
Could probably do one of these with Lewk's posts:

What exactly do you believe Hannan meant when he said, about that conspiracy theorist's tweet, that evidence keeps piling up?Quote:

Hannan was arguing that lockdown should be lifted. I think when he quoted someone saying that lifting lockdown didn't cause problems he was saying that was evidence that lockdown should be lifted.Quote:

I'm seriously worried about the news that any immunity against the virus is only temporary.

American conservatives are morons.
I see what you are trying to do, but you know what you're really doing if you think a little bit longer right ?Quote:

On this forum? On this forum, it will make no difference. On Twitter, sure, I can see how retweeting just to dunk on some dumbass who can't even get the drug right might be counterproductive. But, on this forum, nobody's gonna start munching HCQ because I call some grifter a moron for tweeting that Obama used an entirely different drug for an entirely different reason.
I never really understood why people are surprised about this. I always thought it was more than likely that immunity would be relatively shortlived, at least based on the information we have about other coronaviruses. It's a hard target for durable vaccination as well as herd immunity.Quote:

Compulsory mask wearing in shops being introduced in England from next week.
Late is better than never, but maybe the UK should consider not killing its people before deciding to follow the lead of their more competent neighbors.
I do wonder when we'll get that here in the Netherlands. Also recently in Belgium I believe. So far, even with public life being somewhat reopened and masks only mandatory in public transportation, cases remain very low (while testing is widely available). Curious to see if that will remain the case.Quote:

Your state is even beating entire countries! :eek: So what's up with DeSantis punting everything to cities/mayors -- other than being a Trumpista? I haven't seen any polls, but surely he can't have "winning" approval ratings. Right?Quote:

He is an idiot. Plan and simple. This is a guy who couldn't figure out how gloves work and put a mask on sideways. Best as we can figure his position of putting it off on others is his way to deflect blame while not going against the orange idiot whos coattails he hopes to keep riding. But his stance on forcing schools to open might finally be enough to pin his ass to the wall once Trump gets the boot.
Crazy part is that because there is no direction from up top all the mayors and emergency groups are getting sued under the claim that they lack the authority to enact ordinances that will result in fines.
The Back-to-School issue is huge! The mixed messages and lack of leadership just exacerbates everything.
I feel sorry for everyone with school-aged kids trying to figure this out. And it's sad that anyone related to Education (from bus drivers to Librarians) is caught in the cross-hairs, just like other "essential workers" whose health is seen as an acceptable risk, or that their lives are expendable....
1/5 of all new global cases are in just 3 US states (Florida, Texas, Arizona). That's not a result of "too much testing", as Trump has said in his Disinformation Campaign for Re-Election.
No one in his administration (or the GOP) is calling him out for lying to the public. Adding insult to injury, we have Fox News perpetuating the lies on cable TV and social media outlets. We are so screwed. :(
Governor of Oklahoma has tested positive. He was at Trump's Tulsa rally from which a lot of the visitors seem to have subsequently caught the virus (whether he got it from there or not I have no idea).
'Science should not stand in the way' of schools reopening, White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany says
:rolleyes:
And:
Home Depot isn't following Washington state's mask mandate. Says it's risky for staff
And no, they don't think the masks themselves are risky for the staff.
It seems the UK's daily death figures now are pretty useless. They're counting anyone who died in the community having ever tested positive with as a COVID death even if they died from completely unrelated causes. To put it into context George Floyd would have been reported as a COVID death under our figures.
Probably not a major issue in March and April, but proportionately now most 'death' would be accounted for by this. Excess death figures will be the only appropriate way to measure this by the end I suspect, thankfully those are currently negative and have been for nearly a month.

Even back then there were idiots who didn't know how to wear them properly.
Work has implemented temperature checks are arrival. 15 minute car ride to work with the AC blasting and I logged a temp of 96.6. So much for that safety check. Next week I'm going to look into what the procedure is if someone comes in to hot, see if I need to turn the heater on for my drive to work.
Looks pretty standard, certainly how it works in my store. Pretty much the same thing as happens with loss-prevention and shop-lifting. Normal associates are not supposed to confront and stop those "customers" either, that's for management and the security/Loss-Prevention people, for liability reasons. And Home Depot runs things with minimal staff, I'm not in the least surprised they don't have the security people to enforce masks.Quote:
