zArk Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 mike graham on talkradio just had some doctor on, who has a pretty mainstream view of disease, just throw in the towel and say "the virus has won, the new variant is too contagious, lockdowns are a waste of time, herd immunity will be reached before the vaccination immunity can be achieved, best just let everyone get on with it and protect the elderly" a completely sane and rational conclusion for a myriad of insane data 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velma Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 The Sun celebrates the rollout of the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine with a picture of a syringe, labelled a 'jab-o-meter' that suggests six million doses will be given out by end of the month. The tabloid calls the vaccine a "dose of genius" that "gives hope not just to the people of this nation but to the world." All I see in the mainstream news is pictures of bare arms being jabbed, it smacks of desperation. Why would the introduction of a “miracle vaccine” coincide with a Fifth Tier? Surley the purpose of the vaccine is to be able to relax the rules, reduce the tiers and return to commerce? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InBetweenWorlds Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I have a question; right now my income is unemployment benefit. I hope I'm saying it right, English is not my first language. What rights do I have if the government would hold my income if I don't take the vaccine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have the Nuremberg code, not that will help as we would be full totalitarian, which we pretty much are now. Maybe they will choose to keep the illusion going. So would not be mandatory like that, but rely on corporations to starve us by refusing entry or employment.

Yep and then you have all the suppliers , drinks wholesalers etc. Redundancy back in September and the vast amount of my experience and contacts involves trade sales to the U.K. On-trade (pubs, restaurants etc) . Personally , I have very little chance of getting back into this industry for the foreseeable. Indeed , there is currently no industry of note. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(AP) — British diplomat Brian Urquhart, an early leader of the United Nations who played a central role in developing the U.N. practice of peacekeeping, has died, according to his family. He was 101. Urquhart’s son, Thomas, confirmed he died at his home in Tyringham, Massachusetts, on Saturday but didn’t provide a specific cause, the New York Times reported.

I seem to remember a physics teacher telling me very early on at school that percentages above 100 are mathematically nonsensical. He wasn't quite strictly right about that - you can use percentages above 100, but I understand what he was getting at. It's apt to mislead and can be innumerate and is often used for the purpose of misrepresenting something.

Ergo Storm Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 (edited) Regarding the article above, it says 163% jump in redundancies. I understand why it's expressed in this way, but to me this encourages innumeracy - especially when, as here, it's expressed confusingly in the article as both an increase on the n figure and also an increase of the n figure. I think they mean the latter, so that the number of redundancies in 2020 is 163% of the 2019 total (i.e. a decimal factor of 1.63 of the total in 2019), but somebody could equally read it as a 163% increase on 2019, which is completely different. For me, it would be mathematically clearer if it was expressed as a percentage increase with raw figures included, so that you could work it out for yourself to verify it. For instance, if redundancies in Year 1 were 100,000 and in Year 2 were 150,000, this journalist would say that Year 2 has had a 150% rise/increase in redundancies, whereas I would say that is a 50% increase (i.e. 50,000/100,000x100).
