Covid and the economy

[Noivous]

Hey does anyone know what happened to the thread titled Covid 19 and the Economy? Or did I just dream it all?

[Noivous]

The conversation had turned to censorship and suppression and terms like... Authoritative Truth.

Ah there we go. A pretty good piece on the subject.

Well what's censorship got to do with the economy?

Nothing. It relates to a thread that has mysteriously disappeared after it ended up about David Icke and his nonsense...The 2nd thread to go to the great NMP boneyard.

Not that it matters... I'm afraid it's already caused the Second Great Depression.

The BBC News channel have been harping on about an inevitable severe economic downturn again today, when they said pretty much the same thing the other day.

I don't in any way wish to trivialise the issue and sit with my head buried in the sand, but why do we constantly have to have this drummed into us every other day by the media, which IMO can do more harm than good, especially to many people's already-shafted mental health ATM. And despite the way it is worded, it's not just the UK economy alone that is supposedly at risk.

As many of you probably remember, we had it all during the first half of 2008, and it was heavily politicised at the time as well. A real sense of deja-vu. And possibly some kind of self-fulfilling prophecy at times.

Yes Terry good catch. Unless Kelley116 deleted it. May never know.

Anyway here's the piece w/video that YouTube censored of two prominent Californian Dr's.

I feel it's time to fire the economy back up. Plus I need a haircut really badly.

No, N, only Admin can make it disappear. We can delete a thread we start but we still see the deletion on the board.

There is an irony in some people complaining about censure when referral to Admin forces them to take action that includes it...

Anyway, a third thread has joined them. Same issue. I fully support Admin in their clampdown on people labelling members trolls but I think this is a different scenario where they also need consider scaremongering conspiracy theory being effectively retweeted on here and inflammatory remarks that could offend members e.g. NHS staff getting a licence to murder.

Whilst I agree the NHS has made massive errors that have led to deaths due to policies of certains hospitals and unethical medical staff, right now we are clapping them. Implying they are murderers in the waiting might offend some of us who are in their debt or have loved ones in that sector like yourself.

I'm with you Lenco. Pessimism only begets more pessimism and is extremely destructive.
