Still would on principle never use vaccine only proof but most would and I think its the only way There needs to be some ending point though. Can't have that forever.

Most of the ones near me are staffed by poorly paid people under 30, overworked at the best of times, aren't paid enough or have time to have to have discussions with punters about passport status or chuck people out because they don't have one. It just doesn't seem realistic at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here clubs with indoor gigs only for the fully vaccinated from now on (because of Delta). Problem will be who controls this as it did`t work in many fields until now. But yeah, if it works there will be an old audience for clubs from now on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giving the 'one young person manning the bar during the daytime' the responsibility to check passports of everyone who walks into the space, and put up with punters looking for an argument, just seems unrealistic. I think of all my friends in their 20s/30s working in hospitality and not a single one of them would want to be arsed with the potential hassle and abuse. It just seems like a non-starter to me.

RobertProsineckisLighter Posted July 15, 2021 Report Share Posted July 15, 2021 Final school night of the year - first lateral flow test on the boy. Tears, panic, worry, distress, makes me feel like an arsehole, raised voices, words with the Mrs and a burnt tea. Least the test is negative (although god knows if we got enough swabbing done).

Oh absolutely and that could even only be a few months - I'm still against it at all but this halfway house isn't going to work. Businesses need certainty and this mad attempt at a full reopening is giving the opposite. It's just a road to harsher restrictions. Its also not workable i know, as people have said above. They'll have to find a way though before winter, so why not do it now? Maybe with a caveat of allowing 1 dose and test under whatever age should be reasonably able to have had one just for fairness. We're just heading into the worst of all worlds now Edited July 15, 2021 by efcfanwirral Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will just impose the ability to revoke licences from venues not playing by the rules when the LA Covid Cops turn up I'd have thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fraybentos1 Posted July 15, 2021 Report Share Posted July 15, 2021 They said cases could get as high as 100k did they not and by all i defo saw 50k per day mooted a few times before opening. Now that is actually materialises everyone starts to lose their head. I don’t get it, they said this would happen. I don’t see how it can be used to justify delaying again. That said, I hope the peak is soon. I reckon it is based on Scotland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty downbeat at the moment, I didn't think the cases growth would be so strong at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel you. When trying to get my 8 yr old girl to take a test, it's been real hell for her. In the end, we let her stick it up her nose herself, she was a little bit less afraid that way, but still hated it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
