Thanks! I dont normally care if id said something controversial  but the post was perfectly reasonable i thought.

All agreed but I am tempted to take one off for rep whinging / whoring. They don’t mean anything, why bother about them

Not liking the ‘long, long, long’ wording from Hancock in regards to when restrictions can be lifted.
Hoping this was just a way of making people to expect this to be until April at the earliest, and not any longer than that.  

I have in my mind that these restrictions will mostly be in place till Easter anyway.

Yeah I guess! My post was saying how it wasn't a government decision but the indepenendent JVCI. So ironically its very not supporting the govt per se. 

He once down voted me for suggesting we could give out over 200k vaccinations per day a few weeks ago so I doubt it was accidental.

Completely agree with him. Once you start going "you're vaccinated you can do what you want", people will take the piss and stopped following rules. Everyone will act like they have the vaccine. How would you even police it? I can have people around mine or go to the pub, will the police have to check everyone? Seems unmanageable 

 

Also if you're older, you will get the vaccine months before myself. I have completely put my life on hold so that we can protect those who are vulnerable because we're all in this together. Why is it fair that I made that sacrifice for them but they couldn't make the same for us?

Yep, I’d say that’s almost a certainty now.

It’s just the moving goalposts that are difficult to cope with (although understandable given the ever changing nature of the virus) - originally we all assumed lockdown would be until the end of February, now it’s going being pushed back even further, and the worry is that a chunk of 2021 will be eaten up before any form of normality returns.

I downvoted that post not because of its content. I downvoted it because I’ve had to put up with months of you bullying me and picking on every single post of mine.

@zahidfhas always been polite and respectful in posts, therefore I wouldn’t unnecessarily downvote unless it was justified. I’ve actually been trying to reduce my interactions on this forum because every time I post I get a bullying and harassing comment. Therefore, I wouldn’t unnecessarily start something up unless I thought it was justified.

It seems people on here are ok though that you constantly pick on every single one of my posts and have been since last summer. It is belittling and unfair, in fact it’s actually bullying.

We won't know until middle of next month how the vaccine effects transmission after one dose (from Israel and here). I think the Govt is under promising and over delivering now (as with the vaccine roll out) so I'm not taking what they say as gospel at the moment.

Seems that will be the case but I think once we hit Easter, but really positive that this will be the last lockdown we have unless something really catastrophic happened

Likely we will be in tier 3 from the start of easter and can see by end of April everywhere being Tier 2. We want to hit 15m by Mid Feb and it looks like we are on track. Think last Sunday we vaccinated like 400k so around 2.8 million a week (unsure if this is sustainable based on supply) 

I don't see why we need to have restrictions anymore if the top tier 9 tier groups (which make 90%+ of deaths) are vaccinated

I think at that stage, the arguments against lockdown would outweigh the arguments for restrictions

I hope this doesn’t across as I know more but I always had in my head that the mid-Feb date would be extended just because it’s winter and viruses transmit more easily. But I completely understand why a lot would have taken the PMs word of a mid-Feb relaxation and will be annoyed if it’s extended.

It’s par for the course with this government with Johnson, he’ll try to promise the optimistic option but have to backtrack on that when push comes to shove.

Sorry you’re feeling this way 😔 it seems like Zahidf has accepted what’s happened so that’s the most important thing.

I would recommend using the ignore feature of what another poster is doing is making things difficult for you.

You are a good poster and bring a lot to the discussion so please try not to let some of the harshness get to you (easier said than done I know!)

You've made 1500 posts and I've replied negatively to maybe 10 or so. I would appreciate if you deleted/ edited out this ridiculous, hyperbolic nonsense.

Someone having a different opinion to you/ calling you out if they want to isn't bullying and I don't appreciate the suggestion.

Anyone who takes the PM at his word needs their head examined. How much evidence do you need he is not to be trusted?

Extraordinary fact on travel: here is the list in May last year of countries without any travel protections: Iran, Luxembourg, US Virgin Isles and the UK

Dither and delay...

    • Himalayan salt lamps are decoration lighting that you may purchase for your house. They are made of pink Himalayan salt and are believed to offer a variety of health advantages. In reality, advocates of salt lamps believe that they can purify the air in your home, relieve allergies, improve your mood, and help you sleep.   Some people claim that Himalayan salt lamps can improve air quality, boost mood, and aid with sleep. However, there is little evidence to support these claimed health benefits.     What Are The Salt Lamps, And Why Are They Used?   Himalayan salt lamps are created by inserting a light bulb into huge chunks of pink Himalayan salt. True Himalayan salt lamps are created from salt collected from Pakistan's Khewra Salt Mine. Salt from this area is thought to be millions of years old, and while it looks quite similar to table salt, the tiny amounts of minerals it contains give it a pinkish hue. Many individuals purchase Himalayan salt lamps because they like the way they look and the peace that the pink light provides in their homes. Meanwhile, some are drawn to their potential health benefits.   How Do Pink Himalayan Salt Lamps Work?   Salt lamps are thought to have health benefits because they are "natural ionizers," which means they change the electrically charged particles of the flowing air. Ions are compounds with an uneven number of protons or electrons, which gives them a charge. They are naturally formed in the air as a result of atmospheric changes. Streams, storms, waves, natural radiation, and heat all generate air ions. They can also be generated artificially using commercially available air ionizers. It is thought that Himalayan salt lamps produce ions by attracting water particles, which evaporate as a salt solution when heated by the lamp, resulting in mainly negative ions. However, this theory is yet to be verified.   Related Topic: Is Pink Salt Better Than Normal Salt? How To Buy Pink Salt In Canada? 8 Benefits Of Pink Himalayan Salt      What Are The Health Claims, And How Do They Measure Up? They enhance the air purity   They are promoted as helpful for persons suffering from allergies, asthma, or respiratory disorders such as cystic fibrosis. There is presently no proof that using a Himalayan salt lamp can eliminate harmful bacteria and enhance indoor air quality. The argument that they are beneficial to persons with respiratory issues may be based on the ancient technique of halotherapy. According to this therapy, persons with chronic respiratory diseases are helped by spending time in saltwater caves since salt is present in the air. Some researchers have found that this approach may be beneficial to specific respiratory disorders, but further high-quality studies are still needed.   Eases Coughing As you are aware, the benefits listed in the previous section highlight the distinct characteristics of Himalayan salt lamps. When these lamps heat up, they emit negative ions that offset the positive ions in our surroundings, resulting in cleaner air quality. This process increases cilial activity in our airways, which aids in the removal substances from the lungs. In essence, Himalayan salt lamps act as natural air filters, promoting general health.   In a nutshell, Himalayan pink salt lamps not only remove impurities from the air but also assist your body filter air more efficiently, making sure any foreign particles you inhale do not enter your lungs.   They can help you sleep   There have been no studies looking into the impact of Himalayan salt lamps on sleep. However, a 2013 study examining the effects of air ionization on relaxation and sleep found no evidence of a positive effect. Thus, even if salt lamps have an effect on the air environment, it is unknown whether this will change sleep patterns. If you replace strong electric lights with a Himalayan salt lamp, the dark light could help encourage weakness near the end of the day. This is because being exposed to bright light before bedtime can cause the sleep hormone melatonin to be produced later.   SUMMARY: Himalayan salt lamps are said to improve air quality, elevate mood, and aid in sleep. However, there is right now insufficient evidence to support these statements.     Do Pink Salt Lamps Provide Any Benefits?   Although some of its health claims have not been verified by science, Himalayan salt lamps may provide additional benefits. This includes: They are attractive: If you like how they look, they could be a good addition to your home. They help to create a soothing atmosphere that allows you to unwind. They may help minimize light in the evening: If you have trouble sleeping, utilizing dim lights in the evening may help you fall asleep more quickly.     Further Ways to Purify Your Home Air   Himalayan pink salt lamps are not the only technique to improve your home's air quality. Pair them with air purifying houseplants or any of these other easy but incredible ways to naturally filter the air in your home, helping you and your family to breathe the healthiest, cleanest air imaginable!     Read More...
