    Brexit, for once some facts.

    They're included. Add the evidence I posted to that Zlatan has just posted and it's clear that all the claims that the unvaccinated are causing the problems are untrue. Currently over half the occupancy of ICUs and other treatments are of the vaccinated. But the precise balance isn't...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    This is as definitive as one might expect: "New data from the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has revealed that 42.9 per cent of confirmed Omicron patients requiring hospital treatment in Yorkshire, are unvaccinated - the highest proportion of any region in England. " If thats the highest in...

    Probably yes. Records must have been quite detailed last year for the government to demand 2020 data was reassessed as deaths within 60 days, rather then 28 days of a positive test. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I've been backtracking that video. I frst saw it on BBC news, but they got it from ITV. However ITV now say they got it from Liverpool City Council. But Liverpool City Council say the video was made by staff at Liverpool University Hospital which sounds highly unlikely. I cant see masked...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    You are being lied to There was the example of the video about Liverpool Primary Care ICU being full of young Covid patients who hadn't been vaccinated. I immediately condemned that as an obviously constructed lying propaganda film. There is no such ICU, no Liverpool hospital having an ICU of...

    It's true, it is the biggest employer in Europe with 1.3 million employees, almost 2% of the entire UK population of any age. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I've been making the same point. That the exaggerations of both Covid seriousness and the OTT protection measures are just selling us the line that Covid is to blame, when in truth it's running the NHS down to a parlous state that has caused our medical capacity problems. It's politically a...

    It is. And where children are involved with Covid, even more so. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I'm pleased to learn this, very sensible. Some might pick up omicron but it won't do them any of them harm especially not the children. .

    Not so. On the evidence England isn't experimenting. See the four links in this post from Guerney Experimenting is locking down on no evidence of necessity. .

    Note the secondary meaning of the word education, self learning through experience also being education: 2. an enlightening experience. "Petrus is a good workman—it is an education to watch him" Definitions from Oxford Languages .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    And in addition to Zlatan's reply that I agree with, there's the fact that the educationally ignorant often become the richest in our societies, and that has very long been the case. While not including myself as ignorant, after just 7 years of appallingly bad schools and expulsion at 14, I...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I don't see it as an English experiment. As 85% of the UK we have set the standard, judging more restrictions aren't needed yet, if at all. I agree with that on the evidence at present. Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, together the remaining 15%, are choosing to experiment. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    He'll probably be lucky again. I still firmly believe that Covid has been grossly overhyped, and never more so than with the omicron variant. Everywhere there are people making gloomy predictions based on nothing other than pessimism. Plus obvious propaganda with not a shred of evidence in...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Understood and appreciated. My position is judging from an all kids perspective and not in any way including my own experiences. Based on the latter I'd be proposing the instant permanent closure of all schools. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    But was that at under 5 years, or were you just like most small kids from 2 years up, just asking questions all the time? I think the embarrassment thing tends to be in the primary and secondary school years when ones peers can be very cruel, so we learn defensiveness. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    It's a very English and possibly British thing, and it's a function of our education system. All of us who have very young children or knowledge of them know how hungry they are to learn, a process that starts even before they leave the womb. Once they have speech the questions they badger us...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    That post of mine puts into perspective the vast sums spent on education. Rather than today's minimum of 12 years education for every child, plus two years of a form of compulsion, I only had 7 years before being expelled as I reached 14. And 4 of my 7 years with untrained local women doing...

    I like to keep my hand in with modes of expression. Rather than verisimilitudinousness, I could have used truth, but the former came from the Shakespearean school of thought on the subject, whose founding principle is, like their Master's verbose examples, "Why use a sentence when a whole...
