Stop being such a drama queen to suit your agenda.

You make it sound like the whole city is balls deep in a non stop Roman orgy.

Where as the reality is that once people have got in from work, the streets are pretty much dead, as are the pubs and restaurants now too.
Two weeks ago the rate of infection in Liverpool was 60 per 100.000. Today it stands at 263 per 100,000 - the 3rd highest rate in the country.

Do the maths and maybe you'll figure out how 'dramatic' it is.
 
They never where.

Once the oldies, and some young age groups have had theirs, the plan was always to extend the jabs to that age range, later in the flu season. Supply allowing.
Public Health England August:

Appendix A: Groups included in the national flu immunisation programme
1. In 2020/21, flu vaccinations will be offered under the NHS flu vaccination programme to the following groups:
  • all children aged two to eleven (but not twelve years or older) on 31 August 2020
  • people aged 65 years or over (including those becoming age 65 years by 31 March
    2021)
  • those aged from six months to less than 65 years of age, in a clinical risk group such as those with:
  • all pregnant women (including those women who become pregnant during the flu season)
  • household contacts of those on the NHS Shielded Patient List, or of immunocompromised individuals, specifically individuals who expect to share living accommodation with a shielded patient on most days over the winter and therefore for whom continuing close contact is unavoidable
  • people living in long-stay residential care homes or other long-stay care facilities where rapid spread is likely to follow introduction of infection and cause high morbidity and mortality. This does not include, for instance, prisons, young offender institutions, university halls of residence, or boarding schools (except where children are of primary school age or secondary school Year 7).
  • those who are in receipt of a carer’s allowance, or who are the main carer of an older or disabled person whose welfare may be at risk if the carer falls ill
  • health and social care staff, employed by a registered residential care/nursing home or registered domiciliary care provider, who are directly involved in the care of vulnerable patients/clients who are at increased risk from exposure to influenza.

2. Additionally, in 2020/21, flu vaccinations might be offered under the NHS flu vaccination programme to the following groups:
• individuals between 50-64 years, following prioritisation of other eligible groups and subject to vaccine supply

You make Liverpool sound like Hogarth`s Gin Lane in the 1700`s.

Seriously why don`t you move away, if you hate where you live so much ?
 
Absolute nonsense not sure what part of the NW you're from,but things are not out of control,can things be better yes, but out of control no. since the opening up ( 6th July?) the wife and I have been into town on numerous occasions admittedly in the afternoon to early evening on every occasion the pubs and restaurants we went to were keeping to the guidelines set out, table service,must be seated and SD rules enforced, in fact we have been turned away from several pub because of the rule.

You said it.
I live in Huyton and the pubs I've been to are also keeping to the guidelines. This is not anecdotal nor hearsay or what somebody has told me, it is fact.

It's a good job the Bluebell and the Eagle aren't still open - the infection rate would be ten times higher!
