    I thought this was also quite interesting, I didn’t expect it to be so high. 

     

    What a load of bollocks, 83% aren’t even wearing a face mask today. 
     

    Who fills out these Yougov polls? 😆😆

    If I name names I’ll get an instant pile on and be called a bully etc etc but there are defo people in here. They’re not explicitly saying ‘I don’t want restrictions to be lifted on July 18th’ but you can tell they’re thinking it

    I quit like the table service thing, as long as you don’t have to pre-book and there’s no limit on group size. 
     

    Plenty of places in Europe pre pandemic were table service only and it worked fine. 
     

    Queuing at the bar is a ball ache. As much as I hate Wetherspoons.. some nights we would go there just because of how quick you get served your drinks through the app versus the scrum at a bar, and then move on to somewhere more interesting later in the night.

    Mathematician Pagel on the BBC spreading lies this morning. 
     

    “We’re 75% of the way through our vaccination program I’d like to finish it before we open up fully which is exactly what Israel did”

    So, over a year ago i pointed out that the vaccines don't stop you getting the disease and questioned the need to vaccinate the young and healthy, we now have people in this thread double jabbed and catching Covid even though the majority of the adult population have had at least one jab. The jab clearly cant stop transmission of the disease just reduce the effects, so why are we continuing to demand younger people and children get jabbed? It won't eradicate the disease and these people are not at risk from severe Covid it will just be a flu like effect for the vast majority of them. We may as well just let it run now the vunerable are protected. Hoping to reduce "cases" (positive tests) by continuous vaccinations won't work.

    I saw a tweet the other day that summed it up perfectly. A vaccine is cheaper than an occupied hospital bed.

    Not so sure, I think regulations mean it needs a confirmatory PCR test afterwards (well that's the guidance on teaching staff me and my colleagues have been given) 

    Yes that is the case but some it takes time for the false positives to be removed from the system.

    Just listening to the teaching union guy on channel 4 banging on about masks, lack of testing and ventilation as the reason why kids aren't in school.

    Bellend 

    They aren't in school because we send them home for little to no reason.  This guy is stuck in March 2020.  Who are kids going to  infect? Their double vaccinated grand parents?  Their single/ double vaccinated parents?

    Long covid or something

    That's a weird thing to call out. If I go out I also see that most people in pubs and restaurants are in groups of 6 or fewer - is that not what you're seeing?

    Now I'll admit that it's not particularly meaningful, because if I went out at any point pre-COVID most people in pubs and restaurants were also there in groups of 6 or fewer. That's generally how people go to pubs/restaurants. So for most people no effort is needed to follow the rules. 

    If you're seeing people mostly being out in larger groups, that's really weird.

    Since the pre-Christmas plans there have been two new variants of COVID. They're sequenced and there are scientific papers on them, you can read them, they are definitely real and definitely more infectious. Sure, new variants were always a possibility but they were never a certainty. It's not some conspiracy - we had a plan to open up or be open for specific dates and then a variant came along and scuppered that. Just bad luck. It could even happen again in the next few weeks. But there's no cunning government plan to keep us all on the edges of our seat - just bad luck with variants. 

    Have you quoted the wrong post because that’s got absolute zero to do with anything I said?!

    That's so true and its so depressing. Both from a government and public point of view - it doesn't reflect well on either. 

    SAGE isn’t full of behavioural scientists by coincidence. 

    Look at Christmas, plenty of people took it on the chin and said “never mind we’ll just have our Christmas in a couple of months instead”, if people would have known indoor mixing would be illegal until mid May and limited to 6 until late July* I think many more families would have said “fuck it, it’s only one day let’s have a proper Christmas” and I don’t think you could fully blame the public for thinking that, we’re not programmed to be away from our friends and family for that long. 

    * so far
