There was a protest against the Covid rules in the Netherlands. No problem so far, i mean should be allowed freedom of speech and so on. However because these people understand how stupid they are and that their word does not mean much. Majority of Dutch do follow the rules and want Covid to be gone. Nobody likes the restrictions but people understand they are necessary.

 

However these protestors don't agree, to act like they had a point they pretended to be doctors and nurses. They made fake name badges and wore fake clothes. Not as a joke but as to impersonate medical staff. They did this because protesting by medical staff looks more convincing. Especially if you have the facts against you then you try feelings. However they were caught. People saw the badges (and they knew they were fake). All the organisations of medical staff have strongly condemned this cheating. This is slap in the face they say. They are working their ass of and are for the rules but now protestors pretend to be Dr's and nurses just to give their argument strength. That in itself shows how low these people will sink.

 

I hope there is a good punishment for those people. Maybe give them a work punishment in hospitals with Covid patients. Then they can see what doctors and nurses are going through and how real the treat is. 

 

I just have no words for the Covid deniers anymore, this is an all-time low. 

Your view. Evidently many do not share.

It is clear that "dissent" and "misinformation" (you call it "lying") have become the same thing of late to much of the media. In itself, that's a lie/misinformation.

Its not a view it was proven that they wanted to pretend to be in the medical profession to add weight to their complaints. That is lying cheating and misinformation. Has nothing to do with my view its a fact.

 

Shows how little real facts they have if they have to pretend to be medics to give weight to their claims. We got 75000 in the healthcare only 1000 is putting question marks. So a small minority of people who are in the know. 

 

I prefer the knowledge of professionals over that of armchair experts.

You would need to believe the rules would ensure COVID would be gone.

I'm not convinced the rules work, I'm not all that worried by COVID either, I accept death when it comes for me.

 

As for doctors and nurses, all paid a good wage with job security and a pension, if they were doing it for free maybe they's deserve more respect. Why does nobody want to  canonize refuse or sewage workers, their jobs are just as important and probably save more lives?

You only need to look at Brazil to see that measures do work. As Brazil has no measures and 3000 deaths a day. So sure do nothing and accept death. Maybe you should move to Brazil to get a feeling of how good it works there.

 

Doctors and nurses get paid well but working harder now as usual. For sewage workers i have respect too if they have to work more then usual and are doing more dangerous work then usual.

 

 

no different really to going down to the shopping plaza, and encountering people selling monthly subscriptions supporting FireFighters/Recue/Helicopter Careflights etc

 - and the 'spruikers' are dressed as firefighters!

Nurses in the UK are underpaid by a lot, your second comment is laughable.

Yes but then you know they are fake, here they did their best to look real pretend to be real just to give weight to their argument because they had no good arguments. Sure if those fireman you are talking about look real and pretend to be real its the same thing fraud. Good thing that the medical profession is protected the Netherlands. I hope they will all get fined or get a probation sentence. 

 

These frauds and their stupid ideas should be stopped. Brazil is a good example of what happens when there are no rules. Strange that the anti vaxers anti measure people never really look at Brazil. 3000 deaths a day now.

Why would I look at a country where I don't live, and have no intention of visiting?

I had COVID along with 2 of my family right at the start and for us it wasn't any worse than normal flu.

 

I'm not an anti-vaxxer, Thailand doesn't give me any choice, I can't get the vaccine.

I'm not anti-measures, if you're frightened, I'm happy for you to stay locked at home.

About 50% of the Thais I see around either have the mask around their neck or aren't pretending to wear one.

 

What about Germayn, can't go to a different German region, but can fly out for a foreign holiday, how does that help anything?

What about Spain closing the bars at 6pm, can't you catch COVID before 6pm?

And many more authoritarian and pointless measures like that.

Normally your quite bright.. i guess not always.

 

By limiting bar time you also limit exposure time. Its really that easy. If you stay somewhere 2 hours you got more chance of getting it then in 1 hour. Also the longer something is open the more people visit the more chance you get it. Really its not that hard. 

 

Its about the fact that there are no measures in Brazil at all.. the way you like it no rules. The result is 3000 deaths a day. So that kinda proves that measures work. Now how much each measure works that is harder but its a combined package that does it. 

 

If Thailand had done nothing kept its borders open no check ect we would have had an other Brazil here. Its that simple.

We don't listen to experts in the UK....in fact we are sick of listening to experts........ aren't we Mr. Gove?

 

Better to believe in the snake oil salesmen of the rightwing, Tory party.
