And the alternative is the NHS overwhelmed, sick and dying people all over the place. And the economy completely trashed.
Say again - we can't afford mitigation while we work on creating a vaccine?

So, vaccines are unlikely to be available in the initial stages.
How about mitigation - clean air and masking - to slow down the rate of spread while a vaccine is developed.
Simple, cheap, and given the speed of the Covid vax development - worth a shot?
Cheaper in the long run!

So why are Italians different to the French? One big factor is the effect of different migrants. Migrants have always been a factor in moulding a culture. He's suggesting European cultures should be preserved as they are, when part of their culture has always been changing and adapting.

This and the rise of corporate-run Freeports and Special Economic Zones.
Both issues ignored or brushed over. Both will have huge impacts on the remains of our dying democracy.
Both issues are arcane though, and can't be reduced to click-bait.

When I first heard the term trickle down economics I laughed, and was then surprised to find other people took it seriously.
It was only funny the first time I heard it.
Children: look away now. Trickle down economics is no more real than Santa.

Yes, to Covid ongoing. However, the distinction between people with Long Covid and without LC seems to be erroneous. New paper out (Nature) suggests we now all have persistent covid, some with more severe effects. Old wording suggests whether you get LC is a lottery, and if you don't you're fine.

I'm with you. Been wearing a mask since before they were ever mandated. Degree in microbiology helps.
But I think some people don't believe in rain. And the last person I mentioned asymptomatic transmission to just laughed.

It was a strangely one-sided discussion. As if deterring and ejecting asylum seekers was the whole thing. No mention of the reasons for asylum-seeking, and its inevitable increase, and no mention of the effects of policy on the asylum seekers themselves. They were just numbers, not people.
