Certainly looks like the bizarre desire for a “normal” Christmas is now playing out before our eyes

well the mrs was telling me the other day a house up the road had a very large xmas party and then a new years party probably more than 100 people in and out during that week,the reply they gave when questioned was get fucked we do what we want, the owner of that house is now in hospital being vented

To be honest it is a No Shit Shirlock moment was always going to happen.

And people would have still done it regardless .

Same happened to a family from up the road from my parents n’all.

They had people in and out from Christmas Eve to New Year’s Day (days longer than even the 5 day Christmas the govt were originally going to give us). I believe Police were called a few times by a few different people... the woman from that house is now dead! She took ill in early Jan and two weeks later died in hospital.

They had that same attitude, didn’t give a shit, wouldn’t have mattered if the govt had fully cancelled Christmas as they’d still gone ahead and just done it all anyway.

while i except that statement from him we have to remember this virus is not going anywhere, yes the vax will help but there will always be vulnerable people who will fall victim to this and that it will be with us untill its fully eradicated and thats even if its possible, this situation could go on for years even decades, how they mangsge those figures once this is stable is another thing, we and our immunity in the long term may be the real answer to the end of this where your grandchilds children have developed a natural immunity, but as slur said 'not im my lifetime'

Presumably there will always be Covid deaths, just as there are with flu, but hopefully we can keep them at a tolerable level. There are about 165,000 cancer deaths and 170,000 heart disease deaths in the UK every year. Of course a contagious disease like Covid is different but we should reach an accepted level which allows the country to function normally. My hope is that the scientific breakthrough with the new RNA vaccines will also lead to life-saving treatments for cancer and heart disease.

22nd February is the date where they will announce the stages of lockdown easing and when they will be. It might be that the first date they give is a month later than thag

Not when lockdown unlocks.

Not when lockdown unlocks.

That is what i meant , take every date with a pinch of salt
