Coronavirus (2021) thread

Good idea, it's impossible to knock up a letter in Word and put a Dr's name as the header.

Then a quick phone call to the number on the letter will confirm that…

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Or better still, don't try and fucking blag you're exempt if your not. Like a normal civilised person

Perfect example of the mindset over here these days.

Sadly, over here, they’d just print out a generic exemption form, which is why I think a proper doctor’s letter should be used,

It’s the getting one over the system syndrome that’s rife here.

You do like a stereotype don’t you?

know a landlord in London who has had 6 xmas party's cancelled these last couple of days - he is devastated

How many people do you think are genuinely exempt from wearing a mask? My guess is a lot less than claim to be.

What he said is being proven as fact though on a daily basis.
Just using this thread as a tiny snapshot tells you those people exist mate.

Morrisons had the best record earlier on this year. The others couldn't give a stuff.

Agree. Had to pop to Tesco this afternoon and loads not wearing masks, including staff. No attempt to enforce law.

Our plan is to get everything delivered and not have to scrummage through stressed, angry people weaving through the stores.

Have you tried getting hold of a doctor recently? They don’t want to help people at the best of times never mind deal with hundreds of phone calls to validate someone’s covid mask status. Plus I’m pretty sure GDPR wouldn’t allow them to discuss patients medical records with a random shop keeper.

By the way, I’m not going to do this. Was just pointing out how fucking ridiculous the suggestion was.

Yes. I have a 94 year old grandma, who when needing a doctor come out the same day to her or video call her.

Why is your default setting to beat the system, rather than put a mask on for a few minutes from time to time?

Greece will fine over-60s who refuse to be vaccinated €100 per month, starting January 16th. Move is targeting around half a million unvaccinated in that age range.

I tried phoning mine a couple of weeks ago and after 15 minutes of being told I was position one I gave up.

Ok, how about attaching it to your COVID pass? Show your exemption digitally.

When masks were mandatory I hardly saw anyone not wearing one, so I’m just not sure who these people are.

Talking about doing something similar here.

That’s a better idea!

I’m just thinking aloud. Some ideas are better than others!

Even though the boss of Moderna has said, this afternoon, that it looks like the vaccines will suffer a ‘material drop in effectiveness against the new variant?‘
Seems like it’s more about control than health now.
