Gather Ye Round Your Fire Pits - SAGE Stuffs Christmas


 

Nanny and her acolytes from SAGE are determined to add a bit of No! No! No! to the season of goodwill.

Not content with banning board games (lest we start licking the playing pieces and succumb to Covid), Nanny and SAGE have put together a wee list of rules for the festive season (see above).

I would venture to observe that not every home has a fire pit (or garden!), nor the space required for placing another table in the dining area (even if there is another table spare).

I wonder if the boffins who come up with these rules, have grasped the fact that not everyone in the UK is middle class and lives in Islington?

That aside, I note with a degree of astonishment that Nanny wants Granny placed near an open window. Now whilst this might lessen her chances of going down with Covid, it most assuredly guarantees that she will go down with pneumonia.

However, if she then dies from the pneumonia you can rest assured that her death certificate will cite Covid as being the cause of death!

I have said it before, and will say it again, SAGE can get stuffed!

IRONY KLAXON - Pubs are Safer Than Homes

 


As England awaits news from our lord and masters in the public health lobby as to which Tier we will be placed in (SPOILER ALERT: hardly any region, if at all, will be in Tier 1), and the economy and hospitality industry is destroyed, I draw your attention to the above information from SAGE.

Pubs are safer than homes!

Therefore Nanny, by shutting the pubs, has in fact increased the spread of Covid; as people have been socialising in their Covid infested sealed homes rather than in clean, socially distanced, well ventilated pubs!

Define a "Substantial Meal"

 


Open thread, knock yourselves out folks :)

Oh and here's my two penn'orth...

For tier 2 one way round the absurd rules is for pubs to serve drinkers with a plate containing leftovers from genuine diners, in order to provide cover if a covid inspector turns up. 

Tier 3 is buggered:(

Nanny Followed The Wikipedia - Stuff SAGE!

It transpires that the dodgy models used by SAGE back in Q1 were based on not only lousy assumptions, but also dodgy data sourced from Wikipedia!

Oh, and just to double down on the amateurishness of it all, not one member of SAGE was an expert in Corona type viruses!

Watch Lockdown 1.0 - Following the Science? on BBC 2 to see the inside story on how Nanny was in fact following The Wikipedia!

Plant a Tree For Christmas and Sit Under It - Stuff SAGE!

 

Professor Gabriel Scally, of "Independent" Sage (aka Communist SAGE, a group set up to destabilise government Covid policy - not that it needs much destabilising!) has come up with a terrific wheeze for Christmas.

Can you guess what this is children?

Yes, that's right, he wants us to plant Christmas trees in our gardens; and sit under them on Christmas day in order to exchange gifts etc in a "Covid free" environment.

Two "wee" problems with this:

1 It's mid winter!

2 Many people don't have gardens.

Scally and "Independent" SAGE can stuff their advice exactly where you would expect to put SAGE at Christmas time!

Handcock et al Prisoners of The Health Zealots

 


As is all too obvious, Handock and the the others who claim to be making the decisions that affect us all wrt Covid, have been taken prisoner by the health zealots.

Not content with imposing arbitrary restrictions on people and businesses before the national lockdown, then imposing another national lockdown, these zealots are not only pushing for an extension of the lockdown but a further tightening of post lockdown restrictions (eg the ban of booze sales after 21:00).

Whether that has any effect on the alleged levels of infection is a moot point. However, what is assured is that it will further cripple the economy.

A dead economy will not be able to feed the open maw that is the NHS, these zealots might want to think about that!

There needs to be balance in this.

Lockdown Has Regressed Education

Unsurprisingly Ofsted has reported that the lockdown has caused a regression in children's' education, eg reading and writing has regressed as has attention spans etc.

None of this is surprising, as lockdowns cause immense harm.

However, what is shocking is that the lockdown has result in issues with children regressing to nappies and no longer being able to use a knife and fork.

There is something fundamentally wrong with a society where parents are incapable of teaching their own children how use a knife an fork!

SAGE Appears To Be Running Amok - #StuffSAGE

 

The slides leaked to the BBC on estimated COVID-19 deaths, and presented at the government press conference on the 31st October, were based on different models from at least three weeks ago.

This allows us to check the projections for November the 1st. 

The PHE/Cambridge model on this date has an estimated projection of 1,000 deaths, yet deaths are averaging just over 200 deaths for this date on the government’s staging website.

We estimate the Imperial model to be projecting approximately 486 deaths on the 1st of November, LSHTM 266 deaths and Warwick 234.

Saturday’s Downing Street press conference had scientists present graphs suggesting England could see 4,000 daily deaths early next month. These figures appear to be grossly misleading, even the USA has not topped 2,000 deaths per day and its population is approximately six times larger than the UK's. 

Nanny has been scared witless before with the infamous Imperial model of 500K deaths, Nanny now appears to be falling for the same style of exaggerated projections again.

The models are only as good as the data and assumptions fed into them; it is apparent that both the data and assumptions used are not credible. As such, we need to ask why are SAGE allowed to take effective control of government decisions without rigorous analysis of their data and assumptions?

In the fog of war decisions have to be made on the basis of imperfect data. However, when that data is so wildly off the mark you have to question the motivation of those who present it!

It is clear that Covid should not just be allowed to rip willy nilly through the country. However, a more measured and targeted response (as the Tier system was trying to do) which is less brutal than the blunt mallet of a lockdown is surely appropriate?

At the very least, when people are being told to lockdown they deserve to be given the full facts of the costs of the lockdown (in terms of the economic, health, education and psychological damage that lockdowns cause).
