He literally believes that Covid doesn't exist, and that it's all a big government conspiracy. Even after being hospitalised with covid, he's still a covid denialist, and he's still spreading his bullshit beliefs to his followers.

German concentration camps: famous for tricking people into staying in them

Red Oktober posted:The second comment is also trash - I know the plural of anecdote is not data - but I and everyone I know who has caught COVID after two vaccinations have specifically not been laid low at all - it’s been a couple of days of coughing a bit and being tired. It’s nothing like when someone without the vaccine catches it, nothing at all. Both my siblings got covid after being vaccinated. Brother was broadly asymptomatic - he felt a bit down for a couple of days. My sister after a week of, in her words, "unbearable pain" was told by a doctor to call an ambulance if no improvement in another 24 hours. Still lost her taste and smell for a month or so. Fortunately she started improving and recovered OK but I'm guessing she may have had a real struggle if she hadn't have been vaccinated.

It's funny in a not-actually-funny way to see people crudely attach half remembered immunology and germ theory concepts to what is fundamentally a worldview of "I am a big manly man and I will fight everything with my raw muscle power grr argh" like someone gluing greebles onto a model spaceship to make it seem more believable.

See my wife and I (and son, 2-year-old daughter shook it off almost immediately) have been having exactly these symptoms + headache for ages and no matter how much we test it keeps coming back negative and it's like if we're not getting covid immunity out of it what's the loving point Colds suck.

goddamnedtwisto posted:No, by definition the PM has to be a Member of Parliament. There's some discussion over whether since 1911 he can be a Lord (probably not and even if he could there's no way to get him upstairs without appointing another, different, PM who would then have to resign to let him in). There isn't really a definition of the prime minister though is there? It's purely a position based on convention and has no basis in statute, so there isn't any strict definition that says they need to be a member of the house of commons, just that they need a majority in the commons and as long as they have that then they get to use the crown's perogative powers. I agree it's realistically improbable but the last 5 years have repeatedly demonstrated that constitutional conventions can be completely ignored by a politician with enough support from the powers that be. Theoretically I think any individual could serve as prime minister provided that they could get a majority in the house to support them, though I think if we had got to that point they'd have probably stopped pretending we have a functional democracy.

Not sure about the Tories but Labour have it written in their rules that their leader must be an MP which solves the issue for a Labour PM (not that we're having one of those again for a while).

I mean the idea that vaccination broadly prevents severe symptoms is true, otherwise we would be having a thousand dead per day at the moment. It just isn't necessarily true for every single person.

Covid is vascular, it causes inflammation of the blood vessels and that causes pain. Normal NSAIDs don't touch it in some people. It's awful.

I'm surprised that only 7% of Remainers think Brexit has gone better than expected. I fully expected the UK to no deal as hard and as soon as possible rather than scrambling for time. (That in itself is probably why some Leavers are saying it has gone worse than expected. They expected no deal immediately and then the choirs of angels and lancaster bombers and whatever else was supposed to happen next.)

I'd add that although weight/appearance can be deceptive the man can't be much more than 14st even accounting for his height.

I could not eat all of a clearly segmented chocolate bar in one go, but without the clear delineations would have to eat it all. I suppose a family bag versus multi bag of crisps is much the same.
