Youre speaking for yourself there. 

Theres plenty out there that do and there’s plenty of careers reliant on that industry. 

Not quite 

It's based on what folk on here have said, admittedly a small number, there's only MW who wants to be back out and about, others don't want to commute anymore now they've had a taste of WFH 

And I agree, a lot depends on commuters and office workers 

I've had a home office for nearly 4 years now, I've no where else to go 

Anyway, that's the industry that will suffer most long term I reckon

Correct. This is getting mentalist now, still folk saying give it a few more weeks. Get to fuck.

The ONS getting dead analysis explains Govt dilemma.  20-50 yr olds have spiked while the double jabbed above are below average levels. Still measures in the dozens so most in that age group would say crack on but another month would probably get vaccination into most.

Yep I agree. NHS isn’t going to be overwhelmed, people aren’t dying in the hundreds, a few more weeks is going to change the square root of fuck all. Time to crack on now

And then another variant

and another month

and a further 2 weeks 

 

ad infinitum

We have to learn to live with this, like we already live with many other risks.

The most ironic covid decision I've seen is stopping the handful of veterans from travelling to France for the unveiling of the British D Day memorial, they're all in thier 90,s, probably most won't be able to make the journey again. Wonder about the outcome had the government been so concerned about their welfare 70 odd years ago.

[Burndens Bogs]

Very few are dying through Covid now, hospital admissions are low - Lets learn to live with it and crack on.

The only thing we are struggling with is staffing! People with kids in their teens/20s having to isolate because they are covid+

Why would there be another variant?

The whole point of the vaccine programme is to reduce cases (via herd immunity) to such low levels that as well as keeping people well, the chances of new variants emerging become very small. Should one occur, it may well die out because of a lack of potential hosts and therefore an opportunity to thrive.

No doubt continued monitoring and sequencing will allow any subsequent cases to be investigated, and the design of any top up vaccinations altered.

Such a huge focus now on getting folk double jabbed; the benefits are self-evident. 

If, and its a big if, they decide to give it another month to achieve a greater proportion of double jabbed people, then so be it.

Far preferable to some further steps back later by way of increased restrictions.

The biggest danger now is a mutation in countries that are way behind with vaccines.

Its why foreign travel is being curbed so heavily and that I can understand.

But I think that here on treasure island we should now be free to go about our business as normal.

If furlough, kick backs, bounce back loans and WFH ended tomorrow folk would soon change their tunes.

WFH isn’t a right, get to fuckin work like everybody else. Neither are more bail outs. 

Switch the tap off and see how all these fuckers sat at home calling for more restrictions see it then.

Nation of selfish wetwipes.

Aye all sat in their gardens yesterday drinking whilst their laptops on the side. One other fucker sat playing video games.

There’s lads from BAE fitting kitchens on the side. 

It’s a complete sham. Folk are rinsing the system whilst other folks livelihoods are down the pan because workplaces are shut. 

Get to bastard work.

That's the only reason i can see for prolonging this further 

Probably till everyone in all age groups has had or at least been offered the job

The point is that the scientists, in cahoots with the media, seem hell bent on keeping things locked down.

There’s folk who’ve had two jabs being told to isolate.

Is that because there's plenty out there still not had one and that is where the current 'issue" in terms of spread lies? 

If that's not the case then fucked if i know the way out of this other than to get on with it

That’s my point further up. There’s always going to be a percentage without the jab. That percentage is a breeding ground for the jab and makes the chance of mutation greater. 

Muslims, anti vaxers, kids, folk who can’t have it etc ...we will never be able to vaccinate the whole population therefore the thing will be around forever.
