Has Trump won yet?

Did you know? 98.0000001% of people are morons.

This is mainly bollocks.

You can’t beak off about the ‘one and only narrative’ whilst literally regurgitating from, you guessed it, one narrative.

The irony is exquisite.

If you don’t read around multiple sources, of all flavours (importantly even the ones you don’t like) then you’re an idiot. That applies whether you are right, left, centre or Quackers.

I see nothing to suggest that Q fanatics do anything other than exclusively read 8kun at all hours waiting with baited breath for the next drop that they can furiously w*** over.

Also - every news outlet has inherent bias. There is a difference between reading and understanding that, vs being ignorant of it. Positioning your preferred source of information as though it doesn’t have bias or financial and power based motives compared to ‘The MSM’ is bizarre.

PS - Courage? Really? You should always be open to anything but be open in a scientific and objective way. Not decide that one or many news sources are off limits to you on a quasi religious whim.

For the record I practice what I preach, I read as wide a spectrum as I can, including stuff I really don’t want to read but do anyway. Because facts and evidence. Every once in a while sifting through total s*** produces a nugget.

A female host on LBC tonight was criticising some print media and social media for downplaying the situation the hospitals are in. The problem is there’s an awful lot of information showing this isn’t any different or worse than any other winter. It’s only when either bbc say it’s as bad as April (but leave out that it’s the same as previous winters), or someone says wards are full, only for someone else in a ward to say they aren’t.

Vaccinate all hospital staff and teachers ffs. Going to get more annoying the longer they don’t.

We’ll know exact excess death figures etc for 2020 in a couple of days.

One reason for running out of capacity may well be removing a lot of beds for social distancing. Why they’re doing this I don’t know. I’ve never seen a ward of beds close enough to not be social distancing. Sounds like usual meddling gone mad. But not vaccinating medical staff and hearing that many are isolating or off sick while complaining about being overrun or full sounds particularly stupid all round. To be expected I suppose.

I also agree on vaccinating teaching staff asap

Is the official figure for deaths caused by covid of otherwise fit people under 60 years old still at 388? Just throwing that in there for a bit of balance.

Just to put this into perspective, during the same period in 2019, 670 people were killed in knife crime. So the statistics say you are almost twice as likely to die as a victim of a knife attack as a fit under 60 year old than you are of Covid. I must remember this next time I’m out in London with my mask on.
