Mudskipper is far healthier and much fitter than AtW but he will only see her bum cycl ng off into the distance. She will then realise all that cycling training wasn't for nothing.Comment

Originally posted by Lance View Postit doesn't work like that. The more people who die young the more babies are born. To control population we need to make sure that children grow to adulthood and the global population will stabilise and then start to drop slightly around the year 2050.

TB wasn't eliminated in the west. There was always a pool of it. Very little (if anything) to do with immigration - except in the minds of the more bigoted and ignorant.
Or the failure to keep hospitals clean and contain various bug resistant infections?Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment

So how do the healthy avoid the apocalypse? Stay away from hospitals (visiting others) and doctors waiting rooms.
Do antibiotics treat anything catchable by mingling with the sick and unhygienic (those that don't wash their hands properly in public toilets or when preparing food)?
The only antibiotics I've had are for dental issues (amoxicillin IIRC). Never been truly sick other than at death's door with man flu, never been admitted to hospital, not needed to see a doctor in years.
So if I die in this apocalypse it's you ******* lot that's to blame.Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.Comment

It's your own fault for eating meat, fruit and veg, eating and drinking anything with water in it, breathing and shagging."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

Tuberculosis (TB) remains an important public health problem in industrialized countries. The majority of cases occur in minority groups, particularly recently arrived immigrants from countries with high endemicity who often congregate in deprived communities within wealthy cities. In the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, people from the Indian subcontinent and sub-Saharan Africa living in inner cities have higher rates of TB than the general population; particularly during the first years after arriving in the country.
How can there be any proper debate on immigration if anyone who points out any downsides is labelled a bigot?Last edited by xoggoth; 14 October 2017, 18:04.bloggoth
