I should know better, but I didn’t even think of one of their scenarios of “what if the guard enforcing it is exempt from wearing a mask “

O yeah, er, I'll pass on that one

Perhaps they should be on reassigned duties because if they're wearing a mask then surely they're at greater risk?

Not sure how Morrison’s work mate.
Deffo use agency staff though and I assume risk assessment similar to most.

Fair play, they have done a good job stealing a march on others tonight with good press.

Edit. Just had a message about Morrison’s big boss. He’s ex Tesco and will be all over this.

Government not considering 24 hour vaccination centres because of 'lack of demand'

Yeah, we're all happy living in fear, isolation and misery continuously

Lack of demand!

2.6 million vaccinations given.....how are your European countries doing....

80,000 Covid19 deaths.

Just dwell on that. That's down to the people you voted in.

That’s down to the great bunch of lads in Beijing......

I think we should have more open. We should have events, matches back on - but like we saw with the Everton games, we should have it that you have to have proof of a negative test or vaccine to get into them.

It's easily done and lets people actually do stuff and also, yes, helps industries that have been totally decimated.

A small-scale festival, for example (I'm not talking Glasto, but something akin to Tramlines) could safely be put on using that basis. If someone wants to get in, they have to have the vaccine, or have to have one or two negative test results in the space of the week leading up to the festival. Again, capacity can be there, it's an easy solution.

A small festival like that boosts the local income, gets local, independent retailers in, and is all outdoors.

You could limit capacity, perhaps, to half or 3/4, but there's definitely solutions there.

You should be able to go for a drink or for a meal, and not have to faff about with only going with your household, or only being able to have a drink before 10.

You should be able to go to the gym.

All of the above can be kept with safety aspects in. Deep cleans etc. But we have the added advantage of the vaccine and the vulnerable groups hopefully by then being vaccinated.

I shake my head reading that.

That's off the scale ludicrous.

Take a look around. Do you see this going back in the box to the extent we can have lifestyles like you described?

I think you're trying to wishful think your way out of a crisis.

You voted for a regime that's just murdered tens of thousands that would have survived if said regime had done the right thing.

Well done.

Imagine you are an 80 year old, you may even have some form of ‘existing condition’, and you get an appointment to go to a centre 10 miles away at 3.00am with a minus 5 degree temperature outside. Would you go ?

Got to have hope mate.

Where there is hope, there is life. Month 11 in a few days time for me. Still hoping.

With vaccinated 80 year olds..

Sounds boss.

I'm hoping we can see some stuff happen in the summer. We'll see how it goes.

I don't see why - if everybody who goes has tested negative (twice!) or has a vaccine - that it shouldn't be allowed to go ahead.

How the hell would it spread in that case? If EVERYBODY has tested negative or has the vaccine. It simply wouldn't be possible, would it?

Or does covid suddenly just develop from nowhere? Meaning we might as well sack vaccines off altogether anyway? What's the point. Sack life off.

at the very least, stuff should be open - and open freely. Wear masks on transport, in shops etc, but there shouldn't be lockdowns or curfews.

I would - but i'm sure they could structure the timetable so that the most vulnerable wouldn't have to travel distances/attend during unsociable hours

This thing needs to go in as many people's arms as possible - as quickly as possible

Rolling Stones could headline.
