Coronavirus (2021) thread

[Manc in London]

Not to mention the revolting attitude of people like you. Let’s lock up the poor while the well off have “loads of flexibility”.

3m still on furlough and shit about to hit the fan soon.

I am convinced your sole purpose is to come on this thread to simply insult people.

Do you not get bored?

There are approximately 1.4m NHS staff, so that’d mean almost 300k were isolating, which seems extraordinary. Have you got a source for that?

I’m pretty certain they get told to turn the app off or even delete it tbf so imagine it’s nonsense.

1 in 5 nhs workers currently isolating due to the government setting the sensitivity in the track and trace app too high.

farce

Same with lots of work places

*in some areas.

forecast is that 1.7m uk citizens will be isolating come end of July and will only increase if they dont do away with unnecessary quarantine.

That is clearly not what you said though. Please don’t post unsubstantiated nonsense in future, as it’s not really helpful to the discussion. Thanks.

Agreed. I guess that applies to the fourth wavers also.

Half my street seem to be isolating. I am doing shopping for a couple of people this am!

One of the lads at work has just been track and traced after 5 days, he went to Wembley for the Italy game and he did the app in every bar and Wembley, it’s took them 5 days to get him, since then he’s been home, to work and on several different stations! He only has to do 5 more days to make up the 10, so what is the point, most of his mates didn’t bother with the app and they are walking around, he’s even double jabbed, it’s just a nonsense.

it’s total nonsense, especially in schools . Where I live (alty) there are loads of kids knocking about during the day.

these are kids who are not able to go in to school due to their bubble being pinged so have to self isolate and not go into school.

Instead they just go into alty market with their mum for a coffee And nip into the supermarket.

am not sure that’s the point Of the self isolation rules.

edit. I should also say it’s even more nonsensical when the kids get tested twice a week anyway .

You must be getting better.

I don't know why we're all arguing. The lockdown argument has passed so we should all be on the same page. Restrictions are about controlling the infection whilst we protect against future infection through vaccination. However, the current round of vaccination is winding down.

This is going to keep circulating until each social group has significant enough immunity to prevent it spreading within it. Once we hit max vax, then natural infection finishes the process. IMO whether you then get there through a broad low peak, or a sharp spike makes no difference, providing general health isn't affected, so we have to be careful that the hospitals cope.

Longer-term we have to get a variant specific vaccine out and tested. That will be decisive.

yes I did a big walk yesterday, swimming later. Still fighting something or recovering from something but weight loss and better diet and good sleep is getting me there. Mentally feel as strong as ever and in a good place.
