Thread: covid-19

  1. #1831
    The protest was organised by Piers Corbyn, brother of Jeremy Corbyn. He's been a leading anti-lockdown, anti-mask, anti-vax etc campaigner and agitator. He's been leading the claims that COVID19 is a "hoax" all year long.

    Don't take my word for it, take his word for it.

    How many "far left" people are at the protest, and how many that are more accurately described as right wing?

    How many "far left" people attended a protest organised by a decades long far left agitator and serial protestor who created the event in conjunction with David Icke? Why don't you tell me since it's your question.

    Perhaps link to your sources you have read in full since it seems to be news to you the far left were there despite the fact that the event was created and organised by Corbyn as part of a year-long campaign for which he has repeatedly been arrested.

    You're the one that suggested it was a combined far left and far right protest, so feel free to provide compelling evidence to that effect. From what I can see, you've only provided evidence that it's a protest for anti-establishment anti-lockdown conspiracy theorists who hold beliefs that are more prevalent in far right circles than far left. The reason I asked you is because I know that Piers Corbyn was involved, and I know that he isn't particularly representative of the British far left.

    So no evidence then. If you squint and pretend all antiestablishment cranks are far right then you can try to prove anything.

    Whether Corbyn is representative is moot, he is far left.

    That sounds familiar. Here there's a shortage again as well, because as cases increase more people require tests. There was also a comment on people without complaints getting tests which aren't needed, but at the same time not everybody with symptoms takes tests either. So if everyone with symptoms, and only people with symptoms got tested.. there's still be a shortage. With the added bonus that there is a much higher capacity but the government fucked up and made some bad choices. As a result almost everywhere in the country they can't meet the goal of test within 24 hours and results within 24 hours.

    On the bright side, healthcare workers and teachers get priority for tests here.
    Keep on keepin' the beat alive!

    In my despair, I rang the great physicist and meteorologist Piers Corbyn. You know Piers: he is the older brother of Jezza, and he is famous for believing that the world – on the whole – is getting colder, and that the whole global warming theory is unsound, to say the least. Piers thinks that whatever the role of humanity in affecting the temperature of the planet, that role is pitifully trivial next to the Sun, the supercolossal boiling ball of gas about which we revolve and which enables life on Earth.

    Why on earth would I be offering evidence to support a claim of yours that I am skeptical of? That's your job, not mine. Why do you keep expecting other people to do your job you lazy tit?

    You're the one claiming these are from just one side, not me. I said it was cranks on both extremes (and that there's not much real difference between the two), you asked for evidence, I gave it. You're the lazy tit not me, you assumed these were from just one part of the spectrum and even after being told it's not true and shown who organised it you still pretend otherwise.

    You're the one who suggested this was a shared far left and far right event, yet you have not been able to offer any evidence of any substantiatial far left attendance. It is completely irrelevant who "organized" the event if that person is the only one you can even remotely characterize as "far left". Corbyn was there not as a representative of the far left but as a representative of the worst kind of conspiracy nut—a worldview that lies on a scale orthogonal to the left-right spectrum, but that mostly appeals to people who are otherwise far right, here in the west. You would've had better luck trying to make this argument about the yellow vest protests in France earlier this year.

    You'd be extremely hard pressed to label Piers Corbyn 'far left' when he's a massive climate change denier who also peddles conspiracy theories about Soros and "globalists". He's far something, but I don't know what.

    Can't believe he managed to distract us from the issue of the UK's testing & tracing failures, and Johnson's bullshit defenses of those failures. Shame on us, we let RB pull a Trump on us.

    The Twitter format is good for sharing news stories for giving the URL and a snippet of the story in one go.

    Don't worry, there's a link in the embedded tweet. You can click on it and get to the article.

    It's only a shit social media echo chamber if you make it one. Broaden your followers and news outlets.

    I don't use it. If I share Tweets I got them from other sites like this one.

    For the same reason I can claim that covid-19 is a shit virus to get without getting the virus.

    What's the reason? The epidemiological evidence?

  26. #1856
    Precisely. There's an abundance of evidence that COVID is a nasty virus and there's an abundance of evidence that Twitter is a shit echo chamber social media.

    You're suggesting there's epidemiological evidence of Twitter being a shit echo chamber? Let's see it, please.

  28. #1858
    Not epidemiological evidence. Evidence.

    Do you seriously think there isn't evidence that Twitter is a shit echo chamber?

    I believe it -can- be, but it's up to the user.

    I guess I'm just call out your ridiculous comparison.

    Covid19 can be asymptomatic too. Still a nasty virus.
