We're a nation of idiots.

Blitz spirit, stiff upper lip etc.

We literally voted to make our country worse off, voluntarily, despite being told it was a bad idea. Now we're staying out and going to the pub etc despite being told it was a bad idea.

But there is a new virus every year.
Its only recently that we've had the means to identify and name each seasonal strain.

There will be another new one next year.

The new virus comes out with the John Lewis Christmas advert I suppose.

PHE said we had 1692 flu related deaths 2018/19 in England. As at 6th Feb this year there had been 70 deaths from flu since October.
The first death was 16 days ago and we've had 176 since. It is not even comparable. There have been bad flu seasons in the past of course but as you point out, there is a at least partial vaccine for that.

I actually think you've got a point about the erosion of liberty etc, but we have such a subservient electorate now (imagine voting Tory ffs) they could convince anybody to vote against their best interests with a snappy catchphrase.

This is true- you even see it on here. The Conservatives could do absolutely anything and the same old idiots here would somehow justify it and try to deflect away. They are just sheep. And labour would be similar, critical thinking has disappeared.

Fucking hell. Look at my posting history
You honestly believe I'm a Tory shill?
I spend more time on here slating the Tories than anyone.
I'm fairly sure we've crossed swords because you've defended them.

If there is something more at play here what is it? The disaster capitalists have already been dealt a royal flush with Brexit. Why would they go in straight after with a global pandemic if that is what you're suggesting?

I don't think the virus is a conspiracy but nevertheless presents an opportunity. Some say that the permissive attitude from Johnson in the first place is a softener to bring in draconian measures later.

The draconian measures are possibly useful for the mass theft they have lined up

Lol- no! I know 100% you are anything but a Tory shill, that was not aimed at anybody in particular, just an observation. Essentially the second you say anything about the Conservatives you get the same few people jump in to defend them, no matter how crazy it is- but you aren’t one of those people. I am also anything but at a Tory, I doubt it was me you’ve crossed swords with for defending them for anything, that was about Mark Robins being in our top 3 managers ever if memory serves. Which feels like a different century now.

Virus aside for a minute, I'd defo put MR up there in our best 3 managers, along with JH (obviously) and Gordon Milne. (He kept us in the top flight for years with very little money.)

I had him at 4 behind Hill, Sillett and Storer, but he smashes into the top 3 if we go up this season. Whatever ‘season’ may end up meaning.

I think I'd find it stranger if I didn't find their numbers strange.

One conspiracy that I think may be true is how the whistleblower - a young, healthy doctor - ended up being a casualty of the disease. Very convenient for the Chinese authorities who'd tried to silence him and stop the news of this leaking out.

Bill Gates has been saying for years that a huge pandemic was on the way.

He’s donating millions, as are many people- these sums pale into insignificance however compared to what would be available if they paid the same tax rate as you & I.
