  • It's not about 'muh alcohol', it's about the government arbitrarily shutting down an industry while presenting no evidence about the benefits it'll bring and at the same time shutting down basically every adults opportunities to socialise outside the workplace. All this with no scrutiny or oversight in holyrood. The SNP are no better than the Tories ruling by decree right now by arcade_advice (Sat 10th Oct 2020 12:04am)
  • Great to see people taking direct action against government overreach by arcade_advice (Sat 10th Oct 2020 12:02am)
  • You probably should have gone to see your grandad. Infections and deaths are an order of magnitude lower than they were in march to give you some perspective. We weren't testing anyone then and estimates are between 100000 and 350000 new infections per day by arcade_advice (Sat 10th Oct 2020 7:57am)

  • Full pay for people who need to shield for medical reasons and place the burden of responsibility on the old people who are the only ones likely to die in any meaningful numbers but provide support like home deliveries of food and stuff. 88? Probably don't go to Primark. The default position is that the majority, and predominantly the young, need to make sacrifices to protect the minority but this isn't sustainable (and arguably isn't fair either but that's another debate). If the old want their pensions to keep dropping in they're going to need a functioning economy and rolling lockdowns are a sure fire way to kill it dead. by arcade_advice (Sun 11th Oct 2020 9:23am)

  • So order them closed and provide financial support. by arcade_advice (Sat 31st Oct 2020 10:35am)
  • The jobs retention scheme is worse than useless, it doesn't protect jobs in the way you think it does. How is the bar supposed to pay anyone with turnover driven by opening 1 day a week unable to sell alcohol? by arcade_advice (Sat 31st Oct 2020 10:46am)
  • Should have thought about that before closing them. The consequences of these actions need to be better weighed against the benefits. by arcade_advice (Sat 31st Oct 2020 11:02am)

  • The virus is already globally endemic, trying to stop it spreading is a fool's errand. Taking personal and collective responsibility means accepting we live in a world where people will catch it but doing our best to specifically protect the small number of people likely to get sick. by arcade_advice (Sat 31st Oct 2020 12:19pm)
  • I've also had it and barely noticed. Guess that shapes our outlooks but given that 85% of infections are asymptomatic I think most people are like me. by arcade_advice (Sat 31st Oct 2020 1:45pm)

  • Rommel was a career soldier and operated pretty remote both geographically and operationally from any of the SS horrors. Believe he was begrudgingly respected by the allied forces in North Africa. Not sure why reflecting on his birthday is reflexively downvoted. by arcade_advice (Sun 15th Nov 2020 12:57pm)
  • You emailed the housing association because someone had people round? by arcade_advice (Sun 15th Nov 2020 4:24pm)
  • Kirkland own brand is top notch but it's gonna be hard to get a return on the membership cost if you're not bulk buying. On the other hand if you have £30pa to burn it will open your door to Costco cake and danishes. by arcade_advice (Mon 16th Nov 2020 10:44am)
  • Does it though? What are the death rates, how are hospitals coping etc by arcade_advice (Mon 16th Nov 2020 11:05am)
  • If they're worried about that then the schools should close. So long as they're open any other measures are just rearranging deckchairs on the titanic. by arcade_advice (Mon 16th Nov 2020 11:31am)
  • Agreed that closing schools isn't the right thing to do. But as long as they're open we just have to accept a higher level of transmission in the community. And given the almost negligible transmissions traced to hospitality and group gym classes if schools are open you might as well have everything else open as well. by arcade_advice (Mon 16th Nov 2020 12:05pm)
  • Totally agree but if we need to keep the schools open then we have to accept there will be transmissions in the community and the marginal gains from closing other parts of society aren't worth the cost. by arcade_advice (Mon 16th Nov 2020 12:23pm)
  • Hospitality is basically totally closed already in tier 3 and cases are still so high that we're talking about going into tier 4 so clearly compared to schools it makes no difference whether it's open or not. by arcade_advice (Mon 16th Nov 2020 2:53pm)
  • If closing these things has such a minimal impact on transmission _and_ comes with huge social and economic impacts then why bother. by arcade_advice (Mon 16th Nov 2020 4:59pm)
  • St peters is accessible. Turn left at the razor wire bridge and you can cross over a Weir a little way up the river. From there one of the fence posts around the building has been bent back so you can squeeze through. Watch out for asbestos. by arcade_advice (Tue 17th Nov 2020 6:59am)
  • If you've been following the rules you're pretty low risk, so probably safe to go and see your mum. by arcade_advice (Tue 17th Nov 2020 3:34pm)

  • nothing necessarily wrong with that without giving it more context by arcade_advice (Thu 7th Jan 2021 7:18pm)
  • You can do plenty of HIIT without running. I do tabata circuits with sets of Burpees, plyo lunges, press ups, squat jumps, sprawls ... Basically any bodyweight exercise you can do safely at 100% intensity for 20s at a time. Takes no more than 25 minutes and a 1*2m rectangle of space to thoroughly kick your ass. by arcade_advice (Wed 13th Jan 2021 12:57pm)

  • Went up Ben Vorlich on Friday and it was class. by arcade_advice (Sun 28th Feb 2021 6:46pm)
  • I've already had covid (with positive test) so I don't see any need to get the vaccine. If it looks like I'll still be able to participate in society after rejecting it I definitely will. If it looks like my participation will be limited I'll think carefully and weigh up whether or not it's worth getting it. by arcade_advice (Sun 28th Feb 2021 8:18pm)
  • I don't like being compelled to take a medical treatment I don't need. by arcade_advice (Sun 28th Feb 2021 8:48pm)
  • By the time I get offered the virus everyone in groups 1-9 will have been long vaccinated. At that point covid is like any other respiratory illness that passes harmlessly through the population. What have I missed? by arcade_advice (Sun 28th Feb 2021 9:47pm)
  • The only thing that made covid special is that noone had caught it before so it was novel to the immune system. Once you've caught it or been vaccinated it's no different than the cold. by arcade_advice (Mon 1st Mar 2021 6:34am)
  • Aye the same. Saw a few full tracksuits and a suspect couple of deckchairs in an arch under the railway viaduct. by arcade_advice (Mon 1st Mar 2021 4:19pm)

  • I think you've read way too much into this. I'm just looking for people to recommend hairdressers who are known for doing good scissor cuts. I phrased it as avoiding skin fades because every picture and ad on barbers websites is fades. by arcade_advice (Sat 8th May 2021 5:09pm)
  • K. I think you doth protest too much. by arcade_advice (Sat 8th May 2021 9:52pm)

  • Now all the vulnerable people have been vaccinated everyone should just stop getting tested. All it's doing is creating needless panic like this. by arcade_advice (Thu 13th May 2021 4:27pm)

  • Shame for him but the risk of that happening is statistically insignificant and we can't base policy off it. by arcade_advice (Fri 14th May 2021 5:56pm)
  • 1) so what. 2) yes. by arcade_advice (Fri 14th May 2021 5:56pm)
  • Quite the leap you've made there. Anyone who isn't vaccinated yet is extremely low risk of getting seriously ill so keep vaccinating the rest while we get back to living our lives. by arcade_advice (Fri 14th May 2021 6:24pm)
  • Not like it was enforceable then either. by arcade_advice (Fri 14th May 2021 6:28pm)
  • Either a) the current vaccines prevent serious illness and death from the indian variant in which case what's the fucking problem or b) they don't in which case it's time to cut our losses and chalk this one up to experience. In both scenario extending lockdowns is pointless and damaging. by arcade_advice (Fri 14th May 2021 6:25pm)
  • If it's the same stats I've seen it's 1 in 7 of severe infections and hospitalisations which in itself is a tiny fraction of symptomatic infections which in itself is potentially less than half of all infections. And 'long covid' is **any** symptom observed after 12 weeks. Forgive me for not running to the bunker. by arcade_advice (Fri 14th May 2021 6:33pm)

  • Yes it is possible. Not like there roadblocks. by arcade_advice (Sun 16th May 2021 8:41pm)
  • Vaccination >>> transmissibility. With the demographics who made up 99% of deaths now vaccinated we need to stop caring about raw case numbers. by arcade_advice (Mon 17th May 2021 11:36am)

  • We have effective vaccines now. Our current situation isn't comparable to what's happened before. by arcade_advice (Mon 17th May 2021 1:06pm)
  • Statistical outliers we can't base policy around. Risk is a compound measure - impact x **probability.** The outcomes you mention are serious for the individuals but so vanishingly rare it's not worth up ending society over. by arcade_advice (Mon 17th May 2021 1:33pm)
  • Lockdowns are a total affront to liberal democracy and should only be used as an absolute last resort to buy time, not as a 'just in case'. Yes they prevent transmission but at the expense of every single other aspect of society. Hugely damaging sledgehammer taken to our way of life. The chance of any individual getting seriously ill if they haven't already been vaccinated is vanishingly small. 7/10 people in the UK have antibodies either from exposure or vaccination. We need to be more bullish in pushing back at civil liberties infringements coming from specialists with a narrow focus on epidemiology and no consideration for anything else. by arcade_advice (Mon 17th May 2021 1:55pm)

  • The ifr for the working age population is negligibly small. by arcade_advice (Mon 17th May 2021 2:42pm)
  • A small fraction of people who get hospitalised which is a tiny fraction of all people who get infected end up with any kind of meaningful long term implications. 74 and under is a pretty broad definition of working age population. by arcade_advice (Mon 17th May 2021 3:03pm)
  • Aye it's fucking annoying that reasonable, common sense objections to lockdown get lumped in with the nutjobs. Hopefully as we're getting into year 2 of society being summarily suspended more normal people will start to realise what they've allowed to happen and will start joining direct action. Furlough winding down will be a come to Jesus moment for many who've been pretty happy being paid to sit at home storing up a huge problem for the future. by arcade_advice (Mon 17th May 2021 3:34pm)
  • 2019 was a notably fallow year for flu deaths that stored up tinder for covid in 2020. Since your sample goes into 2020 it quite literally contains all the people who would normally have died of flu dying of covid instead. by arcade_advice (Mon 17th May 2021 3:39pm)
  • If the data you're looking at is from the ZOE app it's bored, depressed people self reporting the consequences of being sat on their ass during lockdown. If it's from that bmj pre-print that's doing the rounds it's clear that long term implications are tied closely to hospitalisation which is pretty self explanatory. Individual human lives aren't sacrosanct and society has always placed a resource value on maintaining any one of them. That seems to have gone out the window with covid. Bear in mind that the objective of our response was to protect the NHS, not prevent all deaths from covid ever. by arcade_advice (Mon 17th May 2021 3:36pm)

  • Imagine having a big pile like that and putting astroturf in the back garden. by arcade_advice (Wed 19th May 2021 12:35pm)
  • Obviously global covid zero would be lovely but that horse bolted a long time ago. Local covid zero isn't desirable because there's no end point. So long as covid is circulating somewhere in the world you're always going to need tight border controls and have the hammer of social restrictions hanging over your people in case of outbreaks because you've decided noone can become infected with covid ever. Herd immunity is a state where there's enough immunity in a population that individual infections don't snowball into mass outbreaks because chains of infection are broken by immune individuals. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herd_immunity In our end state of vaccine induced herd immunity people will occasionally get covid like any other endemic virus, some will get sick and die, but there'll be no more mass outbreaks. In a covid zero approach this position would be intolerable because covid is still circulating even though it's not impacting society at large. by arcade_advice (Wed 19th May 2021 5:12pm)

  • Again, that's a political choice. Lockdowns were never done before and there's no great correlation between overall deaths over the last 18 months and how strong/weak, long/short of a lockdown was implemented. It's highly likely that targeted measures would have had the same or better impact at much lower cost. Pretty weak that when faced with even the slightest challenge to your accepted orthodoxy you spaz out about flat earthers. by arcade_advice (Sat 22nd May 2021 9:38am)
  • 40m out of a population of 1.8bn and yet human civilisation somehow magically survived. So even that wasn't catastrophic and comparing it to the much less harmful covid is either asinine or bad faith. We didn't do lockdowns for the flu pandemics in the 50s and 60s or SARS and MERS and yet at no point was humanity really threatened. Why do you care about transmission if it doesn't lead to deaths? Lockdowns are supposed to prevent deaths so that's the only metric worth looking at. Can dish ad hominems out but can't take them huh. by arcade_advice (Sat 22nd May 2021 10:06am)

  • Waiting until those numbers are vaccinated isn't proportionate to the risk. We've squandered our early vaccination success by delaying reopening on fear of if's and maybes. Btw the aim of most countries has been to protect their health services while they induce herd immunity. Stopping transmission is a by product and not essential. by arcade_advice (Mon 24th May 2021 4:50pm)

  • Timing: covid was already endemic in the UK by the time we realised what was going on and I've seen estimates it would have taken an 18 month last April style lockdown to eradicate. Geography: new zealand is 2000 miles away from Australia. Northern Ireland has the most porous border in the world and England is 35km away from France. How do you ensure noone ever crosses the Irish border (paltry restrictions trivially bypassed, btw) or comes in a dinghy across the channel? Food: the UK relies on accompanied freight to feed its people. How do you ensure not a single truck driver comes across with covid and passes it on? Ethics and demographics: a great many people resident in the UK have family abroad. How do you ensure their right to family life while trying to maintain an ~~island~~ archipelago fortress?

  • Do you already have a spouse visa? If not you might need to apply and receive it before entering the UK. You could enter on a 90 day tourist visa but you probably can't apply for another visa while you're here as a tourist. Once you have a spouse visa you can do whatever work will employ you. Without it you'd need to find an employer willing to sponsor you for a tier 4 working visa before entering. You'll need to pay an NHS surcharge tax like all visa residents - £500 per year from memory - on top of all the normal tax. by arcade_advice (Wed 5th Jan 2022 11:26pm)
