'leaked documents show nhs intensive care 'no busier than normal' .

no surprise but the fact that the data needs to be leaked to get it into the public domain should be.

NHS nurse resigns over current Covid admissions and deaths deception excuse for new lockdown.

Regulator calls BS on govt's data used to justify latest lockdown.

'The UK Statistics Authority highlighted the use of modelling at Saturday's TV briefing showing the possible death toll from Covid this winter.

It said there needed to be more transparency about data and how predictions were being made.

The projections were out of date and over-estimated deaths, it has emerged.'

oh dear, first the BBC and now even Sky News wondering about the govt's use of unreliable data to create their scary models.

The models back in March used to justify the first lockdown proved to be complete fantasy, then they tried the same trick again to justify this second lockdown, now the ONS are warning the govt about their use of out dated and unreliable data.

testing, testing, testing > CASES, CASES, CASES. The farce continues.

Totally misleading, causing nothing but harm to those caught up in this testing nonsense. 

The majority of those testing positive are not infectious at all, if anything should instead be testing for symptoms not old viral RNA fragments. 

Even the WHO says this mass testing (as per Johnson) is a (hundred million £) waste of time.

"A NEW Covid strain passed from mink to humans would have "grave" consequences if it were to spread as it might not respond to a possible vaccine, Matt Hancock said today."

 

haha, you didn't actually think this was ever going to end did you?

and for all the doubters out there here the Department of Health and Social Care confirms;

- the so called Covid-19 test is actually a test for coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2 RNA).

- a positive test only means that 'pieces of viral material were found in the sample' ... 'does not mean the patient has Covid-19.'

'The result needs to be taken in context of symptoms present.'

“So let me get this straight. All the projections were wrong because all the assumptions were wrong, but we still can’t go outside, because the people who were wrong said so. Is that about right?”

Yardley Yeadon @MichaelYeadon3

errr, yeah.

Meanwhile, taxing people who work from home would be a good idea ...

And, No Vaccine passport = No Access! Who could of guessed it?

Ticketmaster is planning to require customers to verify coronavirus vaccination status with a digital passport on their smartphones or prove coronavirus-free status with a test in order to attend live events, according to reports.

Not looking too good in Sweden at the moment:

Quote

Now the autumn is here, and hospitalisations from Covid-19 are currently rising faster in Sweden than in any other country in Europe, while in Stockholm — the centre for both the first and second waves in the country — one in every five tests is positive, suggesting the virus is even more widespread than official figures suggest.

 

Quote

Even Sweden’s public health agency admits its earlier prediction that the country’s Nordic neighbours such as Finland and Norway would suffer more in the autumn appears wrong. Sweden is currently faring worse than Denmark, Finland and Norway on cases, hospitalisations and deaths relative to the size of their population.

errr yeah right, data from yesterday, 7 day rolling average. 0.5 daily deaths per million people.

all thanks to community immunity.

There are a multitude of reasons why the death rate in the 2nd wave is less than the 1st: many of the most susceptible died in the 1st wave, we understand the virus more now so have more effective treatments to prevent death, younger people make up a larger percentage of the case etc.

More reasons here: https://www.ft.com/content/b3801b63-fbdb-433b-9a46-217405b1109f

Community immunity would also mean less cases. Cases in Sweden, however, are on a par with other countries at the moment:

Also, even if your fortunate enough to not die there are a multitude of long term health issues that you can end up with as a result of having been infected. I personally know of two people who have had it, were previously healthy, and who are now experiencing life affecting medical issues. I know anecdotes are no substitute for statistics but people need to be aware of the risks of catching it.

I really don't want to get into a statistical war. We are in the middle of a pandemic, it's too early to say one countries approach was "better".

yes but the problem of course is what does CASES mean? The UK Dept of Health admit that testing positive for Covid-19 does NOT mean you have or have ever had Covid-19.

And what is responsible for the recent uptick, is it just the usual Autumn/Winter flu surge?

The worldwide (WHO) data is clear that Covid-19 is no more harmful than common flu.

I'm done with this thread. You don't respond to the points raised by anybody who doesn't agree with you.

I'll leave you to it, you can post your memes and theories that go against practically all the medical and government advice out there.

If you're right then this must be the biggest and most sophisticated conspiracy (with the most participants across all walks of life) in the history of the world.

you don't want to 'get into a statistical war' because you can't refute any of the mountain of WHO, NHS, Dept of Health and other GOVT dept data produced in the thread.

Easier to just pretend it's all memes and conspiracy theory and go back to watching the BBC 😵

oh, so the vaccine is just a dose of Covid then?

"Pfizer vaccine sounds worse than covid for many young people—causing days of headache, fever & muscle aches after 1st injection Oh, and you have to get the injection twice. And you still have to wear masks. And we don’t know the long term side effects." James Todaro, MD

This is no conspiracy, it's just the biggest outbreak of mass hysteria since the medieval witch trials. I'm not sure who killed the most but the ICU deaths must be quite substantial by now after the ventilation 'treatment' by the doctors (with a 50% mortality rate) for a virus with an IFR very close to the flu. Maybe dunking in the pond would have been more effective.

By the way, I'm a Paramedic on the frontline and have yet to see just one unequivocal covid case. Not one. Explain that?

Forget the vaccine, there is only one known treatment and cure for Covid and that's for all adults to read Charles Mackay's 1841 book "Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds"

Then you'll understand what is happening in 2020.

People have completely bought into modern main stream media bias reporting, there is only one side of a story as far as the BBC are concerned, once they have chosen their narrative that's all you will get.

All the factual data presented in this thread tells the other side but if MSM ignore it then people feel they can just pretend it doesn't really exist.

    • Just recently, I wrote an article about how a Solana blockchain art project (Artrade) is helping artists raise their earnings and even further transforming their physical works into RWA essentially NFTs. With that in mind, I came across Rarible, a marketplace that focuses on digital art and NFTs and the similarities of the platforms caught my attention. Rarible allows artists to sell their creations as NFTs, essentially digital certificates of ownership and cuts out middlemen, connecting artists directly with buyers. Beyond trading, Rarible offers a somewhat user-friendly interface for creating NFTs, even for beginners.   The platform unlike Artrade is built on the Ethereum blockchain and uses its own token, RARI, for governance and rewarding active users. In the long term they seem building with the goal of becoming a DAO in the future While it’s still early days, I have no doubt Rarible offers a unique approach to buying, selling, and creating digital art, and the recent listing on Bitget will further expose it to new communities and potential investors.     Do you think RARI's approach will be sustainable as a marketplace for NFTs?
    • Soybeans Elliott Wave Analysis  Function - Trend  Mode - Impulse  Structure - Impulse for (5)  Position - Wave 1 of (5) Direction - Wave 2 of (5) Details - Wave 1 of (5) completing with a diagonal. Wave 2 bounce is emerging before the price turns downside for 3 of (5). Invalidation now at 1226’6. Not much has changed since the last update.   Soybean Price Analysis: Elliott Wave Perspective Signals Continued Downward Trend   In the realm of commodity trading, Soybean has recently undergone a significant downturn, marking a nearly 7% drop since March 21st. This decline appears to be part of a broader trend that commenced back in June 2022. However, before this recent descent, there was a brief period of respite characterized by a corrective bounce starting in late February.    Delving deeper into the price action, an Elliott Wave analysis sheds light on the intricacies of Soybean's movement. The daily chart's decline since June 2022 reveals a corrective pattern, delineated into waves A-B-C, as denoted by blue annotations.   The initial wave, labeled as Blue Wave 'A', terminated at 1249 in October 2023, exhibiting a distinct diagonal pattern. Subsequently, a modest rebound ensued, marked by Blue Wave 'B', which concluded at 1398 in November 2023. However, the ascendancy was short-lived as the bears regained control, manifesting in the ongoing development of Blue Wave 'C'. This wave, evolving into an impulse wave, has currently progressed to wave (5) following the completion of wave (4) in March 2024.   Zooming in on the H4 chart, a granular analysis reveals the sub-waves of wave (5). Wave 1 of (5) concluded with a diagonal structure, followed by a corrective phase as the price undergoes a temporary upside correction to complete wave 2. Despite uncertainties regarding whether wave 2 has fully concluded or will undergo another upward leg, the overarching trajectory remains clear – a downward break is anticipated to continue wave 3 of (5), leading to further downside movement.   In light of this analysis, the prevailing sentiment favors sellers, who continue to assert dominance over the commodity market. As long as the price remains below 1226’6, the outlook remains skewed towards further downside potential, with the possibility of reaching the lowest price point since November 2020.   In conclusion, the Elliott Wave perspective offers valuable insights into Soybean's price dynamics, signaling a continued bearish trajectory in the near term. While short-term fluctuations may occur, the broader trend suggests that sellers are likely to maintain control, shaping the commodity's price action in the foreseeable future.   Technical Analyst : Sanmi Adeagbo   Source : Tradinglounge.com get trial here!
