Exactly, nobody needs to show off here, so you might consider they are making serious points. Quite a lot of smart, well-educated people on CUK (hide it as they generally do). Maybe you should open your ears, you might learn something.
When the 'official' line is based on sound medical advice echoed across every nation and medical organisation in the world, then yes I guess we'll keep 'trotting it out'.
A bit like the 'official line' that smoking is bad for you...
This level of wilful idiocy almost makes one wish Sasguru was here to enjoy it.
Yes but that is presumably because they all listen to the WHO who, in turn (it is said), listen an awful lot to Imperial College and one Neil Ferguson.
And we all know how wide of the mark he has been on a few things
Just saying those of you trotting out the official line and the same old crap (no-ones mentioned killing your granny) yet....
Its not facebook, no-one knows who you are on here, there is no need to show off how "covid friendly" you are to impress your mates.

No, I think the whole thing has been damaging mentally to a lot of people. Old folks isolated from their grandchildren, students confined to their halls with the prospect of not being able to return to their homes at Christmas. It's a little bit more than inconvenient.
Risk is cumulative based on the amount of time you spend in contact with infected people, or people in general. What part of "minimise non-essential travel" is hard to follow?
And I didn't say necessarily it was stupid for Covid reasons. It was mainly stupid to go abroad then get upset when you had to quarantine on return. That was entirely predictable, very PS.
Yeh make it up to suit your own argument.....
At the time the mandate was not "non-essential travel only".
Tell you what - stay home for the rest of your life, and put your head under the quilt. You'll be safe there.
The media broadcast the views of a narrow group of the most pessimistic of"experts" while giving little or no air time to the views of other "experts" that expound a different approach.
Going on holiday, meeting up with people in a pub, whatever, is highly unlikely to kill anyone, given the lethality of this virus. Particularly if the govt had followed the advice of Prof Gupta and put in place a framework to aggressively shield the vulnerable.
Some of the vulnerable are doctors, nurses, teachers, etc. So you would be happy to have even less services and social interaction than now?
