No, I've said several times
1) I don't reply to you.
2) I'm not getting involved in debate because it angers Rob and views are deeply entrenched.
1) Because you can't, as your arguments are weak, any time I or anyone else demonstrates this (through use of official ONS stats, or school level maths), you go quiet or will not go into a point in depth. Typical for a conspiracy theorist or someone going against experts, science, facts and basic maths, as soon as you come unstuck, you disappear or "don't reply".
2) Because you spout conspiracy theory (or bull$hit)
My beliefs and arguments are just as valid as before lockdown
Correct, they were not valid before and they're not valid now
fortunately not many believe the nonsense you spout.
I agree mostly with:
The majority of the worlds experts
The ONS figures (although they're late)
The NHS staff (all 10, that I know at James cook, a few on the covid ward and a couple of doctors)
With NHS/ PHE advice
With the WHO advice
With the IFR studies for the UK
My education and career in statistics and maths, trust in our published numbers and belief in science and experts (not just from the uk) makes me believe:
PCR works and is about the most reliable we have
REACT is accurate
Our positive test number changes reflect changes in infection (although under reported)
Excess death numbers correlate well with with covid deaths
Tiers and lockdowns have helped and that we would be absolutely screwed without them (like the experts also say)
If you're saying I'm saying nonsense, you're saying the experts are talking nonsense too! I'm on their side!
I also personally think:
We should have had tiers and lockdowns earlier, not later
An earlier and shorter lockdown is better for the economy than a late and long one, like how preventing a H&S incident is better than trying to recover from one
Our government have done a terrible job, but a small number of our people are also partly to blame
Our government have ignored science too often
You're going against the experts on literally everything you can find, or trying to find an "expert" that suits your narrative, but ignoring the other 100 that don't, it's confirmation bias. It's that which makes you dig deeper into the holes, and that's why you've not come out of it.
In an effort of an olive branch hopefully we can see eye to eye on football matters but then again you're probably not a Boro fan.
I'll decline thanks, I don't see the point, until you admit you were wrong, but even then I would just rather you just didn't share disinformation instead. Disinformation is getting people killed, which is a lot more important than football.
Anyway, why wouldn't I be a Boro fan? Add that to your disinformation list
I've been a fan and going to games for over 30 years thanks.
