Is taking yourself out of the game really the right thing to do? I dont know that it is but i know out of our group of 6 mates: 1 doesnt have the app anf never has 2 had contact tracing off 3 had it on and have now all turned it off so youre at as much risk from anyone that doesnt have the app or has turned tracing off as those who get pinged and ignore it as potentially they could all be in the same boat but certain people are not allowing themselves to ever be pinged the recent call to isolate was based on being at a fully outdoor event with the person sitting with their back to the nearest table which wasnt even close. 2 people went, one got pinged and one didnt? They worked from home that day. Doesnt make sense and app cannot account for indoor vs outdoor. Its off, and its staying off. Steps were retraced and essentially the conclusion drawn was that it was nigh on impossible to have caught it. Going to lateral flow test for next few days and as long as negative, my life will go on. i thankfully never see vulnerable people, if i did my attiutde would be different.

They behave like an opposition party, not a Scientific group. They can call for whatever they want no matter how unrealistic or impractical and if the Government doesn’t/can’t do it they have something to criticise. Which is stupid as there’s plenty to criticise the Government for without making every single thing a point of failure. That’s when people stop listening.

Trying to get rid of him and Pagel was like whack a mile until I just set up another Account that doesn’t follow any news/Covid feeds at all.

People are still catching it - mostly younger cos of vaccines etc but they arent ending up in hospital. So out those 50 if 1 or none ends up in hospital then the numbers bit doesnt affect the nhs. Apologies if that comes across as insensitive to anyone I get you but my point was if I a little person sat at home knows for sure that more people have got ill than what they officially say then how many more times is this happening... I wouldn't know anything if it didn't happen to be my daughters friends.... I think the vaccine output is amazing and something that we in this country should be rightly proud.. I also think that stopping a cricketer from playing because of something he wrote years ago is madness Just thought I'd put that bit in lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not it'll be a political decision not a health one, probably based on it "feeling" dangerous to older people because its crowds, as likely shown by their opinion polls I think the sad part is very few people actually care. I recommended a book the other day by two Sunday Times journalists, and stand by that recommendation, it's a very good book, but there was a bit where they were talking about last summer and it said something like "outside of Leicester, with the exception of mass sporting events, the country had fully re-opened". Music and Theatre just ignored entirely. I don't think it's malicious - indeed they do talk about the impact on the arts industry later in the book - but it's clear how little people outside of our bubble think about stuff like that. I mean if the general public had to choose between festivals and gigs coming back, or foreign holidays coming back, they'd take the latter every time. Which is why I'm not optimistic we'll see festivals before foreign travel. 14 hours ago, JoeyT said: Interest question - if everything was as it is now data wise and hypothetically Glastonbury was taking place this year & Boris went ahead with June 21st unlocking who would / wouldn’t be attending? I’d certainly be there. It's a tough one - probably not now, but that's in part due to my partner knowing one of the single-digit deaths in the past week (30s, single jab, no underlying health conditions) - we know he's a statistical anomaly but it's made us a fair bit more cautious, being the same age range.

efcfanwirral Posted June 8, 2021 Report Share Posted June 8, 2021 Thought experiment- who would take a 2 week circuit breaker? Either just Manchester or even everywhere. Obviously schools would have to stay open so might have limited effectiveness All this "we don't know"...if we're badly wrong the entire summer and realistically rest of the year is gone. And if we're talking about "one final push" of a couple of weeks, surely that's the only way things will actually move in the direction we want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
