The gvt's annoucements this week is the right thing to do to take this re-opening slowly but its leaving a lot of people in very worrying positions and its been like this since last year. Takes its toll a bit, didn't mean to bite anyone's head off. Except for Spider, he can get fucked. 😉 No worries. I've reread my post and it does look like I'm taking the piss.

Site Supporter Spider Posted February 16, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted February 16, 2021 I read that a lot of people on furlough are fed up because they feel worthless and that their jobs don’t matter. That those of us still turning a wheel are the genuinely important members of society. They feel that maybe they’ve been found out a little. And they’d be right.

Traf Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 I've not got it in me to read eleventy pages a day on this every day, but my thoughts on Eat Out to Help Out are that it was done with good intentions and did save some businesses from going under. I'd like to see it reintroduced as early as possible, but with an alcohol ban. Therefore, you're eating out to help out, not eating out to get pissed with your mates.

You're going to be getting a lot of phelgm in your food come reopening. Hey that's capitalism for you. The person who scans food in tesco is valuable but we deem it low skilled and therefore low paid. Basically furlough if you look at it is maslow's hierarchy of needs writ large, we sort out our basics - food, health - in times of crisis. Jobs that can function around self-actualisation usually have a higher societial value (ie monetrary worth) in western democracies - aslo also because its many of these roles that push a society forward beyond health and food - across scientific and artistic achievements, meaning we are not focused on just where the next meal is coming from or dying at 25 from preventable health issues.

I get the impression it's largely dependent on how your GP is getting on, Harwood must be allocated fucking loads as everyone is old. A few don't want it and bingo.

Seems like something may have been misconstrued or taken out of context. Simon Stevens only saying yesterday that another booster of a different vaccine might be needed in the autumn, so it may be something along those lines.

Escobarp Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 What’s likely to open first do we think hotels (fully) holiday accommodation etc or pubs/restaurants? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted February 16, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted February 16, 2021 Pubs and local stuff I reckon. Bit daft allowing us all to move around the country to go on holiday, but not be able to go in a boozer/restaurant. To an extent, they'll all open together(ish) I would think. Just restricted.

stevieb Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 My Mrs has been on furlough since November. Reckon she's getting potted on Monday as she's got a call from the boss (her first contact with work since going on furlough). It's helped with home schooling to be fair. Thinking about trying to both wfh with 2 kids at home in lockdown 1. 0 gives me Vietnam style flashbacks... You don't know man you weren't there!

If that’s the case you will be a few months earlier than up here I think. Just a joke that she’s basically changing to essentially every adult being vaccinated before opening things up from what I’m reading.
