I was told that last year but still found myself on a beach in Greece.Anyone thinking there going to be lying on a sandy beach this year is delusional, don’t waste your money on any holiday this year it won’t be happening any time soon
I just hope as many places can hang off for as long as possible until the vaccination programme is well under way to try and limit the issues this will present.Everywhere is going to get the new strains at some point, it’s going to be a shitstorm.
Think these new variants are more potent though, can’t see Spain /Portugal etc opening borders anytime soon to a load of pissed up britsI was told that last year but still found myself on a beach in Greece.
Covid exists but it isn’t the end of the world, we need to learn to live with it.
Vaccinate and carry on is the only way in my opinion.
One new variant after another though isn’t it, where the hell does it end?Think these new variants are more potent though, can’t see Spain /Portugal etc opening borders anytime soon to a load of pissed up brits
It was tongue in cheek m8One new variant after another though isn’t it, where the hell does it end?
A line in the sand needs to be drawn, give in or just give up and never go on holiday ever again?
I like a holiday and enjoy a drink, but does that make me a pissed up Brit

My mate is donating his second lot of plasma in Manchester, Plymouth Grove tomorrow.Was there any more on the stories that these new varients came about from treating imuno compromised patients with blood plasma from covid survivors
They did seem to stop the trial abruptly not long after.
Good post mateI love a holiday too mate. Can't beat them imo. But I'd gladly shut the borders for as long as it takes to have as much of the rest that life has to offer on these shores. Family life, socialising, sport and activities, music. It won't be 'never again', but we also must keep at it to keep ourselves safe and give everyone who comes into contact with the NHS for whatever reason a fighting chance. The best way to do that is to know what we're dealing with and be able to do so effectively without new strains being imported and complicating matters. Until this issue is sorted globally rather than just nationally, we'll make do with enjoying what's here, and I don't see that as a bad thing. We're very fortunate.
Thomas Malthus agrees with youPerhaps a bit fanciful, but I can see what you mean, and nature is definitely incredible.
At the end of the day it created the biggest virus of all, humans, killing their own planet slowly because we became too good at reproducing, and failed to see that there being too many of us would create a whole host of problems.
i dont doubt you for one minute there mate but how does the virus know what the tolerance of a human is, if the virus has infected say 10 people and one dies the other viruses dont know that so there would be no point in mutating, they have done there job by infecting the body so why mutate or upgrade there armour so to sayWe certainly won't have seen the last of these varients, but it's really not in the virus's best interest to kill more people, it just wants to be more effective at spreading, if it kills all it's hosts, it kills itself.
its very sad mate ,the old people i know are very scared now seeing all these deaths,most wont step out of the doorway some have not been out for over a year,if the virus dosnt get them then there mental health willI wonder once this is over/ under control how many vulnerable/ old people will still self isolate through fear maybe never getting back to how they lived before last March, such a sad thought really but it will no doubt happen
I've absolutely no idea who he is.Thomas Malthus agrees with you
You need to ask a better scientist than me that question, but a virus can only exist if it has a host, if it can't find one it dies, we might be able to kill this one eventually, we've certainly killed others in the past.i dont doubt you for one minute there mate but how does the virus know what the tolerance of a human is, if the virus has infected say 10 people and one dies the other viruses dont know that so there would be no point in mutating, they have done there job by infecting the body so why mutate or upgrade there armour so to say
It's a fecking disgrace. The Supermarkets clearly lied through their teeth a week and a half ago.
Yes pal probably wont-even let there family in through fear of catching it, when things are back to normal we should knock on there door retreat out of the garden just to chat or see if they need any shopping, being old is no fun at the best of times I can’t begin to imagine how they must feelits very sad mate ,the old people i know are very scared now seeing all these deaths,most wont step out of the doorway some have not been out for over a year,if the virus dosnt get them then there mental health will
I completely agree. Absolute wankers. Shopping is the only place I go and whole families in there as you say.It's time supermarkets started doing their bit aside from adverts going on about masks and only one person shopping, but then doing bugger all to enforce any of these rules.
I went to do my weekly shop at Aldi today. Although not overly busy, I'd try to time it so it wasn't, there was still couples and whole families shopping. Kids running about grabbing stuff,none in masks, sitting on the counter at the back where you pack your shopping, it winds me up.
Food shopping is the only place I mix now. I have no choice but to go there or I'll starve and deliveries are once again booked up in advance. I understand single parents may have no option but to take their kids but the majority were full families. I feel like I'm playing bloody Russian roulette once a week.
You will have come across his arguments and his name many many times. Impossible not too.I've absolutely no idea who he is.
The virus doesn’t know, and we should try and understand that evolution, which is what mutations drive, does not have a ‘will’. Mutations are chance events. And it is only the mutations which provide an increased chance of survival (in this case, increased transmissibility) which then go on to be more successful and reproduce. It’s why the really nasty virus’s, Ebola for example, don’t spread like this. They kill the host too quickly and therefore can not replicate.i dont doubt you for one minute there mate but how does the virus know what the tolerance of a human is, if the virus has infected say 10 people and one dies the other viruses dont know that so there would be no point in mutating, they have done there job by infecting the body so why mutate or upgrade there armour so to say
