Waiting for a few more cases first. I suspect they'll go for mass gatherings and pubs first.

It's only fake SAGE really trying to force people back into lockdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reflekting Posted September 2, 2021 Report Share Posted September 2, 2021 Even Ireland are opening up soon. 60% indoor capacity at gigs and 75% outdoor from next week. Then all restrictions likely to be going on 22nd Oct. They have been super cautious here, but the vaccine uptake is around 6% higher in the population vs the UK. They are saying 90% of 16+ fully jabbed is the most they can expect and then life has to resume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once they've tried fully vaccinated only in any indoor spaces and its still spreading because its endemic and winter, I can't see the majority arguing out of fear. Then the call for boosters for all in the false hope it can be eradicated Edited September 2, 2021 by efcfanwirral Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lost Posted September 2, 2021 Report Share Posted September 2, 2021 If I was betting I'd say exactly the same as the previous lockdowns/restrictions. Most young people won't want them but a very vocal minority on twitter will make it seem like most of the young support them. The boomers the first of whom are now 3 or 4 years from life expectancy who are either at risk from the virus or at risk from other things and expect a hospital bed if any of those other things arise will support them. As with politics in this country over the last 20 years I would expect the oldies to get their way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NHS can take up to 40k hospitalisations a day. Thankfully seems like it's a far way for that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't see it washing down well given the vaccine uptake... I can’t see it happening. Boris is bored with it now (no distancing/restriction in parliament anymore) and knows another lockdown will get the Covid Death Group on his back again. Also, the public have been told ‘vaccines are the way out of this’ for the past year. Not sure even this lot could get away with a u-turn on that, despite the incredible loyalty of their supporters.

steviewevie Posted September 3, 2021 Report Share Posted September 3, 2021 JVCI aren't budging on the jabbing 12-15 year olds thing. Going to cause a lot of upset if loads of kids start getting it and missing school next term. But, at least Williamson is on it with CO2 monitors.

lost Posted September 3, 2021 Report Share Posted September 3, 2021 The scientist on the telly yesterday suggested kids only getting 1 jab as the overwhelming majority of the Myocarditis cases in young people have been seen after the 2nd dose. It'll be interesting to see if they release the minutes and that had been considered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Italy and France are going to require 12 and over to have the vaccine to do anything or daily testing. Nightmare. I also think a lot of the USA will be the same. Govt could still allow jabbing kids, it's just JVCI ruled it was kind of pointless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely miraculous that we've managed to get through this. Very happy to be wrong on this! It shows it can be done next summer, hopefully from the normal time of late May. Biggest question is less if, and more when for next year, which is a better place to be in. Trying to cram everything in has been hard, out of our planned 11 days of live music we've missed 5 for medical reasons 😂. The last 3 including today for self isolation, rest an unrelated issue. Hopefully we are able to space it all out next summer! Just hope the industry gets through the winter, you'd expect shutdowns but hopefully nowhere near the levels of last time. I'd expect a few months off after Christmas again, but hopefully we make it to then. It'd be progress Edited September 4, 2021 by efcfanwirral 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone’s had a taste of freedom going back and even the Covid lockdown lovers have realised that lockdowns suck. It’s only a small minority of indie sage lot now. Also - anyone I know catching Covid is either asymptomatic or very mild symptoms that go in 3 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
