Coronavirus outbreak

[mjr]

Presumably it’s to allow time for 18 year olds to get fully vaxxed, given young uns also like to go clubbing not only old farts like on this forum
Anything encouraging younger people to get vaxxed is a good thing

Yes, 8 weeks gap plus 2 weeks for maximum effect plus a bit for booking is pretty much end Sep.

Assuming people don't pack out nightclubs before then, send cases rocketing and combine with the dodgy surrender decision to cause restrictions to return.

Oops.

I read the Dutch premature reopening is being considered as a possible crime. Whither Boris?

I read that not wearing a helmet is being considered as a crime. Whither Boris (helmets do not suit his hairstyle or general 'look', imo)?

Think it is clearly moving the goalposts on Test 3. A protest should be made, pointing that out. Hash out an outline, please.
Love it!
But the daily case rate in Scotland is dropping like a stone. FM NS needs to catch up.

That's what the "male tutor" thought too, I suspect.

My 18yo has asked advice about getting his second jab brought forward to about 7 weeks: 14 days before the Reading Festival (crowded but outdoors). Since he's been working in the local chemist, administering the jabs, I suspect he will have little difficulty (20 Jun first jab).

I worked in the music industry so only dealt with record labels.

Week-end effect?
Orange line is UK; blue line is without Scotland (to make clear the massive drop in Scotland is not skewing the data).

Tom Harwood from GB News was about to inform us about the Parliament Square protest, but he was shouted down by a foul mouthed harradan.

This caused the broadcaster to pull the outside broadcast in the interests of public decency, so we are still none the wiser.

One of the things the dreadful creature bellowed at Harwood was he's a w*nker.

No doubt some might agree with that, but there's a time and a place for everything - this was neither.

Isn't it a strange World in which we live, until discovering the current affairs section of this forum I went along completely believing this virus to be nothing more than an annoying inconvenience to my daily life.

Can't go where I want, do what I want, see who I want (unless they were happy to) wear a mask that I didn't want to, everyone I knew felt the same.

Behold, a whole new World has opened up to me online yet I'm still to come across people like you in real life, my local has joyfully embraced today's easing of restrictions by replacing all the tables in their previous positions to enable people to sit where they want.

This pub is frequented by mainly older people and not one of them has shown any anguish over the changes,

Are we all missing something?

Perhaps we're just keeping out of your way.

I wouldn't get too excited about any given day.

7 day increase is 40% which is fortnightly doubling.

Seems to be quite a bit of chatter about pcr tests being hard to come by too.

Self-preservation instinct in the face of a virus that has reportedly killed over 4 million, perhaps.

If our hospital admission continues to rise at the same rate a quick calculation suggests that about 11th August out Trust stops having hospitals and starts having a COVID treatment service.

Is it naivety, ignorance, stupidity or a mix of all 3 I wonder?

I assume most posters on here feel the same so I wonder if it's being a cyclist, a remainer or being more Left Wing that makes people look completely differently at this than most I know?

Intriguing.

I just find it odd that "normal life" means nothing more than being able to go to the pub, inside or outside.

It's as though life revolves around drink, and nothing else, for some.

Can go to Bradford, behind the Town Hall, and walk in for a PCR test, any day.

Not just pubs, I regularly go to Football, classic car shows, classic motorbike shows, concerts, VW shows, restaurants etc so there have been many varied restrictions and everyone I know is of the same opinion.

Is it an educational thing, no close friends of mine went to University for example, none have an office job therefore none are currently working from home.

That's not to say I know no-one who earns a decent crust, builders, bodyshop owners, music industry, telecom engineers.

I guess I'm getting all philosophical as for me today is the beginning of a return to normality and as previously mentioned everyone I know feels the same, whereas I read on here that it's tantamount to World suicide and it's got me thinking, have I got it wrong all this time?

Very interesting.
