Saw that on the news.
dont understand why they need to wear tactical clothing and carry assault rifles ?
Compensating for a lack of genitals methinks !
ours was "can you give a time limit on the lockdown ?" From the BBC's chief political correspondent.
30 seconds after the Home Secretary went into detail explaining the criteria for easing restrictions and how it would be irresponsible to pre guess any outcome without looking at the data first !

Well, it took 33 years but we finally found out why Darth Vader was wearing that respirator and breathing so heavily.

Yesterday the B.C. lockdown was extended to the end of April
It is now clear that our journalists study "how to be stupid" to a very high level, all questions today showed the journalist hadn't listened, hadn't a clue what is happening or both. There is more talk of "modelling" in the briefing than there is on this forum, I hope they never move onto air brush techniques.
We have three more weeks !
Oh, we have lots of questions like that, that is the base level of stupidity (based on present modelling). Today we had "What do you think will be learned from this when the pandemic is over" the ministers answer was followed by "Do you think you will impose sanctions on China then"?

You can't both walk a half klick and meet in the middle? Sneak somebody over in the night and stay a few days? Meet at WalMart or PigglyWiggly or whatever you have there?
Absolute legend !

One of the vaccine proposals troubles me, because it's not a vaccine, it's gene therapy: Genes interact with one another, and with something of this nature being developed, what if it made us vulnerable to something else or had some bizarre effect down the road?
I remember there's a mutation to CCR5 Delta 32 which makes people immune to many strains of HIV, but people with it are severely affected by the West Nile virus.

And here we go with the politics again...
I am reopening this thread.
Lets all stay out of the realm of left vs. right, dem vs. rep political shit. That is the stuff of sheep, and nothing more. If you want to discuss that kind of stuff take it to whatever politically slanted propaganda forum suits your purpose, but lets keep it off of here. Too many friendships on this forum have been lost because of it.
Thanks...

It's ok. We have all done it, me included.
The conversation started ok, and then it took a turn for the south.
I do not like censorship, in fact I hate it, but there are other places for that type of discussion on the internet. Let's not turn this place into one of them. Let's leave that for Facebook, it's already flooded with that hate and BS.
On a side note: politics from a historical point of view, i.e. as it pertains to the war, or history will always be allowed here. It's part of the military and aviation topic. We just don't want the left vs. right type stuff going on.
I think this means something which has nothing to do with the cardinal points

I have to say that in Australia some reporters are asking intelligent questions of our politicians and getting nonsensical answers. Our Prime Minister is adamant that children cannot get Covid-19 or pass it on to others so schools and pre-schools must remain open.
I have a son in law who got Covid-19 from one or both my grandchildren and five weeks later he is still in isolation and still very ill. He's worked from home for over a year and only goes out for exercise (he runs half marathons but there were none in that time frame) and occasional shopping and had no contact with anyone who had the virus except the two children who both had high fevers for the week ten days before he became ill.
No one knows the origin, there are many theories, but it means taking a turn for the worse.
