Coronavirus (2021) thread

The problem you've got is whilst there's so many people unprepared to follow the advice given the liklihood of restrictions being lifted gets less and less.
Wouldn't it be nice if, to a man the whole country decided to just do as they're told for a couple of weeks. No moaning about their lives being taken over by government hell bent on taking away your liberties or other bullshit we often hear.
Just simply get vaxxed, wear a mask, keep to social distance rules and follow hygiene advice and then in 2/3 weeks see if it's made a difference.
If not then people can rightly start to push back but until we've actually given it a proper go we will never know what works or not.
Sadly I don't think the UK public would ever come together as one. That ship has sailed so its likely to go on in a similar vein as it is now for a long long time.

Spot on mate.

They can't and won't which is why it'll be here for a while yet.

It'll be here forever. Because it's an endemic virus like the other 200.

 

[kevin horlocks wand]

But not everybody did. That's my point. There have been instances throughout of dickheads flaunting the rules. From the very first until the most recent.

yeah boris, professor Ferguson, Matt Hancock and lots of the government .

 

[Phil1]

Oh, to inhabit this magical world where everyone does exactly what Phil1 wants. What a ridiculous point.

It's wishful thinking, not something I ever expect to happen. Certainly after reading your posts on here for a few months you sad ****.

 

[Chippy_boy]

Given it a proper go?
Did you miss the two times we tried it for months on end?

Oh, you got vaccinated did you? Sorry I must have misunderstood.

 

[BerkshireBlue]

Any source for that? I had two Pfizer's and the booster is going to be Moderna so would be interested to read that research

Its in this report where they look at boosters and mixing products and comparing side effects. https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.12.02.21267156v1 it has to be said that side effects are extremely rare anyway

 

[Phil1]

yeah boris, professor Ferguson, Matt Hancock and lots of the government .

Well yes, that's why I said it'd be nice. The fact the country is full of dickheads either in charge or walking the streets means its a pipe dream.
Which is pretty sad in itself.

90,418 cases. Down 3627 on yesterday. Nice surprise.

Though much of that due to no Wales data on Saturdays.

England down just 1267

Not doubling every two days then ?, wasn't it 93k thursday ?. Unless people with it have such mild symptoms they aren't bothering getting tested.

More context, although, to see the media carry on you’d be forgiven for guessing the covid occupancy was 10 times higher.…..

 

[Bluewonder]

Rather be a sad **** than a p***y who wants society to stop because he's scared of a virus for which he's had 3 vaccines.

The testing numbers suggest that’s not true.

What was the name of the PM`s aide?

 

[RobMCFC]

I’ve tested Positive
definitely felt tired, achey and lightheaded all week. But my fault going out a lot to packed places.

what’s frustrating is if i just did LFT I would be showing negative- yet first PCR test and I’m positive

Take it easy. Hope you get over it soon.

they don’t need to lock us down , just tried to get to london today from Stockport lots of the trains cancelled including ours As lots of staff off.

this is Manchester airport

'Chaos' at Manchester Airport as travellers miss flights due to long queues

Manchester Airport has apologised to travellers for any inconvenience caused - blaming higher than normal staff absence and being busier than in the previous few weeks

www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk

there will be loads of people with this and off work, lotsnofmpressure on the system.

Re lockdown at the moment they are in a great position for them

Boris keep restaurants and bars open but emperor Whitty says don’t go out - bingo lockdown by stealth and boris doesn’t have to give the poor fuckers dosh.

Predicted this a few days ago and I’m no Nostradamus. Government has got itself in a terrible fankle now by insisting on such a period of isolation. The same thing is happening in hospitals, and travel will only get worse next week as the Christmas exodus begins. Yet, it can’t start cutting the isolation time or making exceptions for certain sectors as that would be tantamount to telling everyone that the threat is not as serious as we just said.

 

[salfordbluetrue]

They can't and won't which is why it'll be here for a while yet.

That is working on the principle that it is the peoples fault they can not use the chemical companies product that does not fully work.

My society is cracking on just fine, though I lose an awful lot of money everytime there's severe restrictions due to a lot of it tied up in the hospitality sector. Restrictions don't help me one tiny bit.
And how is society stopping by putting a mask on and social distancing? That's the problem with thick cunts like you. You show yourself up to be thick far to often to bother being amicable towards.

are we still at the it’s too early to tell yet if omicron has less severe symptoms stage ??

 

[Healdplace]

London cases fell by 1057 to 25,551

That is in total up 2279 in the last 48 hours - so not doubled in those 2 days (up just under 10%)

North West rose by 310 to 8309

That is up 522 in the last 48 hours - also not close to doubling (up about 7%)

We'll know in a few days.

I don’t know when that ends or even what it specifically entails. It certainly doesn’t seem to involve simply accepting the word of those on the ground in South Africa. Thus, scientists in the Global North want data from their own populations, so it could be weeks, it could be months.
