  1. Very telling you're so confused that people made a non political judgement of what to do. I despise Boris, but that's completely separate from whether I agree with the restrictions. That's guided by the data and science. But you ARE a conspiracy theorist. Remember these from a few months ago? PLEASE explain to me how that's "thinking for yourself", and not just repeating tired conspiracy theories. You're just blindly believing stuff from another source. Going against the prevailing opinion is nothing to be proud of, nor any sign that you've thought more.
  2. Why, out of interest? They've got better since the start (full on lockdown multiple times) up until now in general. If anything I think people are getting less happy with them and they're coming under increased scrutiny as time goes on as well, rather than being more accepting. At what point do you think someone's personal decision, which can impact society around them, should affect their ability to access it? It's a difficult question for sure. We already have many rules in our society and things you have to do to be able to live and work in it - we just take them for granted as they've always been here.
  3. I thought GJs football was uncultured but still sometimes exciting to watch personally. Going to AG was at least more enjoyable for a year or two during that period than any time since, only Cotts L1 season might match it. Your hero DW would have had to get us promoted to the Championship first before he could even think about the PL though so not sure why you're mentioning him
  4. But how can you decide that before you know both sides of the discussion? Obviously if they said a nationwide lockdown would prevent one death, I'd be against it. If they said a nationwide lockdown would prevent 1 million, I'd be for it. It seems to me that you (and some others) have already decided where you stand without having the information - which is why I'm saying it's situational. Picking one approach and refusing to budge from is it absolutely mad, and not how we live our lives in any other way either.,
  5. I think it's an interesting comparison/question. If Martin has come into a club already set up how he wants to some degree, with a decent number of appropriate tools at his disposal, and yet is doing no better than Pearson where it matters I don't know if I'd prefer that. You have to think longer term - it implies to me that we might have a higher ceiling, and Pearson has more to change to be where he wants. I don't actually care that much about the style of football while we're at the very start of our transition... I more care about our destination. Yeah it'd be nice to see it along the way, but not at the expense of what we're trying to do. I think that's partly where Lee fell down - wanting to have his cake and eat it too... or rather not a clear idea of what the "now" and the "future" need to look like, and how they differ. Gotta say I'm also a bit sick of the thought that slow, possession, and passing based football is the summit we all should strive for. Quick, direct, aggressive, attacking football can be really exciting (dare I say it sometimes Cardiff at this level as an example) - much more than some other styles.
  6. But there are already non MRNA vaccines aren't there? As far as I know the AstraZenica one isn't. Neither is the Johnson and Johnson one - that's a standard viral vector I think. Why would Valneva be any different? Sounds a bit like you've just picked one that isn't in the current plans to me. It's the same people saying they're safe in each case. The individuals to be "won over" have no special knowledge of vaccines they could use to form a reasoned opinion - they're not experts.
  7. Well if it could have a devastating impact on us then yeah. Wouldn't you? Would you rather just do nothing at all from now on, and if we get totally screwed over then so be it?
  8. It's not at all. Cancer is a great example of an awful disease that kills people - but rarely is what actually kills them. Take a cancer of the digestive system. It stops you absorbing food, so you die of malnutrition (or weakness due to it). Liver cancer can and will screw up the chemical balance in your body. If you get shot and as a result have a heart attack and die, did being shot kill you? If you get covid, develop pnuemonia, are greatly weakened and die of infection did covid kill you? As I said, it's not as simple as you're making out. The problem is you're looking for a very simple answer to an extremely complex question - which says a lot about how you view this whole thing. Right now, I think in a couple of months we should have a much clearer picture the impact Omicron will have so that seems like a sensible amount of time to review things. That could then be to continue restrictions, step them up, or remove them. Like I said, I don't enjoy the restrictions at all. I really don't - but I do understand why they're there.
  9. What restrictions? Showing my phone before a game or whatever? I don't like it, but I get why it's there. I'd obviously rather none at all as we all would... I don't enjoy any of them. If it's a small thing I can do to help society then I'll do it. It's no skin off my back really. I went to an awards do in London a couple of weeks ago which required it, it was dead easy. As to how long, it depends on what's going on - it's highly situational. I don't have a set time or whatever. With this new variant it seems sensible to increase them until we understand it and the impact it'll have more... the risk is not doing that, and then it's too late.
  10. If it's so simple it's odd you can't explain it! Many diseases greatly weaken us, but it's something else that actually kills us. It's not black and white like you're implying. That's why none of these numbers and metrics are perfect, but you can look at them together and get a decent picture of things.
  11. Hah - you asked the question, and sounds like you have no idea at all what you're actually asking for.
  12. What do you count as "of"? If someone has cancer, is greatly weakened, and dies of a simple infection is that a cancer death or not? Do you literally have to be killed by the thing for it to matter - or if it weakens you (or contributes significantly) is that enough? What's the line?
  13. Oh come on, I really don't believe the majority of "hesitant" people are because of the tech. No doubt they take, or are given all kinds of other medication, drugs, and put god knows what else in their body which they have absolutely no idea what they are, or the maturity of the tech behind it. Do they know what the chicken the guzzle down in KFC is washed with? What's in their cigarettes? It's an excuse for many to make it sound like they have a legit reason. They didn't want it before they even know what MRNA was. The vaccines and the tech/.knowledge behind them is incredibly complicated. A layman on the street like your or I has no idea the research, method, and efficacy of them. That would take years of complex study - which is why we have a lot of extremely intelligent people who do that for their entire lives for us.
  14. City second (James): https://streamja.com/zPRyB
  15. There's no way Tanner should have let their striker get the original shot away imo
  16. We're currently decent value for a draw away at the team top of the form table. This would be 2 wins and 2 draws in the last 5. Chill. We're doing OK today.
  17. Some eager dev added it as a part of an update, and thought it was so great he better automatically turn it on for everyone no doubt
  18. It said my posts were restricted, then posted about 5 times! Haha
  19. City goal (Semenyo): https://streamja.com/oolOL What up with the post restriction?
