    My 85 year old parents are seeing their grandkids (school - not my kids) regularly indoors, they go to church, my father went to bavaria 10 days ago to hike and eat in restaurants. Now my mother tells me that they met friends indoor to have coffee and days later they visited 100 year old auntie in the retire home.

    And my mother has no idea why I have exploded.
    She told me „ you can‘t lock us up forever“ and I‘ve replied her that this was not my decision and if she had complaints, she should tell the virus X-(

    I think the elderly are now just weighing up catching the virus and being miserable as sin.

    My 80 year old father lives on his own. I don't live near him. He is a very sociable person and if he doesn't have some sort of social interaction during the day it makes him miserable. I couldn't keep him away from people if I tried.

    Another 90year old I know has decided that whatever time they have left on this planet it isn't going to be spent confined to their house.

    All the oldies I know are definitely out and about a lot more than they were.

    I think you should narrow it down to footballers just to be absolutely sure.

    Keeping it in the world of reality, I thought it would be a fun Idea for a story. That we were
    all convinced we were wearing masks, but in reality we were all attached to alien invaders
    controlling us, and they were just putting the image of a mask there ;)

    Coming back to the discussion that Drs and hospitals are overreporting Covid cases - „because they get more money for Covid patients“.

    I am hearing this argument often and it may happen in rare cases - on the other hand Covid deaths are not discovered and reported.

    An indicator for overreporting or not is to look at the average mortality and then check the increase in 2020, in Germany we are speaking about „Übersterblichkeit“ ( Over Mortality (?.))

    According to this statistic, there is no indication of a systematic over-reporting of Covid cases, we see everywhere a sign of under-reporting with minor exceptions (Belgium etc.)

    There simply seems to be no end to Covid, No One seems to have any " End Game "
    and there seems no end in sight. I honestly think that this time next year, We'll
    All still be wearing masks :#

    More and more experts say we'll likely get a safe vaccine early this winter. That won't be the end of Corona, but it will be the begining of the end. Stay safe :)

    That ringtone is just a desperate attempt at hiding your socialist beliefs :D
    Personally I'm considering using the Persuaders theme tune as my ring tone.

    Let's try again.

    I'm going to the Confirmation of my nephew in a couple of weeks together with my parents in two weeks. But my nephew lives in a town that's having a Corona outbreak and I'm a diabetic and of course my parents are old. Let's hope for the best ....
  • ThunderpussyThunderpussy Behind you !Posts: 63,792MI6 Agent
    Reminds me of a story a workmate told me recently, In a local church confirmation
    event, usually the sponsor of the kid stands behind and puts a hand on the child's head.
    Due to the covid, the people behind were asked to raise their right arm as a sign of ...
    ... acceptance of religion ( or something )...... He said it looked like a Nazi rally :D

    Allow me to play the part of a "Naysayer": This wholly dependent on what those experts mean with "getting a safe vaccine"?
    Do they mean that it's safe because it clears PII trials, or that it is close to finalizing the product because it clears PIII trials?
    What I know (through my work contacts, not by reading publications mind you) gives me no reason to believe, that there will be a wide reaching vaccination program early this winter, nor will there be a vaccine ready commercialization. The most promising product only just reach the end of Phase 1 trials, and is moving to PII.

    So summa summarum: there is no way in hell, we'll have a vaccine in supply chain early this winter!

    :D for the ones who think that wearing masks takes their freedom away - there is always the great vaccine from Russia :D

    I totally agree, 0073. we‘ll have to live with this virus for quite some time, so we‘d better scratch our heads what everyone of us must do to reduce this f*cker spreading.
