These people really are on a different planet.
Families living in areas undergoing mass testing to try to weed out cases of the South African Covid variant have been told to ‘think twice’ about going out food shopping and to stay at home if they possibly can.
Presumably they haven’t tried to get an online delivery booked. I manage to get click and collect slots and every so often, get lucky with a delivery, but mostly no.
So, think once – need to eat. Think twice – need to go to the shop to get food.
We are governed and advised by cretins.
And the frantic door-to-door testing blitz may not stop the variant spreading because the 11 cases announced yesterday are just the ‘tip of the iceberg’, according to leading scientists. None of the infected patients had travelled to South Africa, suggesting the strain could already spreading in the community.
Since when did testing stop a virus? Especially one as flawed as the one they are using? The words frantic and blitz sum it up. This is a panic reaction and effective management of a crisis is never achieved with panic. But panic is all we’ve had this past twelve months.
Truly, we are governed and advised by cretins.
People will not be told whether they are carrying the South African variant because this cannot be seen in a routine test, but the plan intends to find positive cases among people without symptoms in a bid
Two words: False positives.
Idiots.
Families living in areas undergoing mass testing to try to weed out cases of the South African Covid variant
People will not be told whether they are carrying the South African variant because this cannot be seen in a routine test,
Huh?
Mass testing to find out how many have the variant version, which can’t be seen in a standard test?
What we need in government is an 11th Man. There seems to be a bit too much groupthink at the moment.
Combined with hysteria. Not a good mix.
Door to door testing seriously? Presumably those going door to door doing the testing will be taking elaborate precautions to prevent spreading it themselves?
The complete lack of any functional thinking is pretty desperate.
As long as everyone involved has a mask on I’m sure that everything will be fine.
How many masks is it this week?
Two I think. Don’t forget the cling film. That’ll show who the heretics and deniers are.
They’ll be the one’s still breathing.
So with cases(infections?) in decline they are now going out and actively seeking new instances. Why?
I’m sure I saw a mention that any “Positive” test results would be genetically sequenced to identify exactly which strain of Covid was present. But (predictably) I can’t remember where I saw it…
Is dementia a sign of Covid?
Two points I’ve noted on this latest chapter:
1) The intensive testing areas are very small – way smaller than you could possibly expect most residents to have stayed within even given the current lockdown. I mean I stray outside of this size catchment area just to go to the supermarket.
2) The MSM reporting of this (BBC I think, may include others) was careful to mention that police officers would be part of the team going door-to-door ‘offering’ on the stop tests; the intention to intimidate is obvious here even though there is no legal requirement to take a test.
More pointless virtue signalling, scare mongering and waste of taxpayers money by Gov’t and msm
There are over 12,000 variants (or to scare you: Mutants), none are more infectious or deadly
Testing is of no benefit when Gov’t refuses to allow use of early treatment ‘cures’ such as HCQ
Furthermore, unlike ‘Flu, C-19 is only a problem for the already ill. Out of >108,000 deaths With C-19 <400 under 65 with no diagnosed co-morbidity have died
If C-19 was as infectous and deadly as Gov't claims, tens of thousands of supermarket staff would be dead by now
Oh look, I was correct in late Feb 2020 – "a nothingburger like seasonal Flu"
Note: ‘and pneumonia’ was added to obscure, COVID-19 pneumonia is classed as COVID-19
All this juicy scaremongering based on a test which is not fit for purpose and has user-adjustable parameters. The sheeple will bw trembling over their BBC “news”.

Ignore scaremongering Hancock’s ‘mutant’ lies
