Literally stated it was a QR code on his phone that was scanned and matched his ID.

Yeah you can still buy a "legitimate" pass on the web. Not all are mere counterfeits some are from systems compromised with corrupt officials/staff.

If you wanted a fake pass why would you get one with fake ID unless you were already living under that identity?

Because, whatever you think of the government, it’s not them that have put the vaccines through clinical trials and peer reviewed them. It’s the people that actually, for certain, know what they’re doing.

I recall Hong Kong Flu being particularly nasty as a relative got it. Weirdly enough even tho it apparently killed 80,000 people, I don’t recall it mentioned that much at the time, but then again I was young.

Ambulance / compensation chasers weren’t really heard of then either. There’s a lot more pressure on “leaders” to take prudent approaches.

Anyway, just had my PCR test come back negative so looking forward to the game.

I wouldn't worry too much. I had Hong Kong flu as a 14 year old in 1968 and again two years later in the second global wave. Both times I was in bed for two weeks and had to crawl to the toilet. It was a nightmare.

I've never had the flu since.

Very similar, I used to get a bad cold around twice a year when the season changed, usually around winter and summer. I then had flu in 1996 and December 1999, really bad, all I did was drink fluids, piss and sleep for about two weeks, never had a cold since. Covid was the closest I got to the flu illness and the after effects lasted longer, fatigued for a couple of months. Not scientific but I think overcoming the flu has given me a lasting resistance, been getting the jab for the last few years as well.

Well according to the data for the new variant this is becoming less and less likely. I mean even originally Covid wasn’t a deadly death sentence, yes it could be serious for the elderly and people with underlying conditions, we locked down and these people shielded.

This is not to downplay what has happened and the loss many people have faced but the scales have to tip eventually, if they haven’t already the other way.

Over half a million was going to die, half a million!!!! In this country alone. it was the most deadly form of virus for decades and was extremely serious. Only the vaccines and virus evolution has changed the outcome to be now 30,000 dying which is a far more acceptable number. Just don't forget how bad this virus was

Again, I was young, but do you remember government announcements of it? I don’t remember any restrictions (City won the league with full crowds) and I don’t remember hearing from Wilson at all?

From memory there were no restrictions at all and it was just accepted as something that was sweeping around the world. The first time I got it I was in school so nothing different there and the second time I had started work at Clayton Aniline and nearly collapsed when I got in. I was checked by the on site doctor and one of the older blokes I worked with drove me home.

It was a different era and people just accepted that shit happened.

Just ad an aside, the landlord of our local pub, the Sycamore in Ashton worked in the lab at Clayton Aniline for many years going back around the late 60’s, he’s called Dave Etchells, also one of my mates (bit younger than me) Nat Gallagher also started his career there around mid eighties, do you know either of them?
