UTFC!
tbh, I'm finding it pretty hard atm, feel like my life is being utterly wasted.
I get it, and I'm lucky that I haven't had this (or if I did I didn't know) and my priority is hoping my parents and family don't get it too.
Just a small part of me recently is really fed up. I started a relationship with someone last year which we just ultimately couldn't make work because of the constant lockdowns and restrictions. I'm 26 in two months, got mates who are getting married, my younger sister's having a kid.
Not saying I want to do any of that just yet, but in that sense it's hard enough meeting someone nowadays as it is, never mind in a bloody pandemic. Trying to save up for a house, trying to keep my career going and have had to take a fair step back since this time last year.
There's other things that have only happened because COVID happened which have been a positive - definitely feel fitter than I did this time last year for example - but just feel like it's going to be two years of my life completely wasted. Don't know if that's because I'm single or whatever, but it does get you down a bit, so when you see all this talk of vaccines maybe not working 100% straight away I honestly struggle to care. It shouldn't mean we don't get back to normality because we all only have a very limited amount of time and I think everyone's attitude should be to make the most of it.
I obviously don't want that to be at the expense of other people's lives, but the key is the vaccine - just feels like people keep moving the goalposts.
You know the drill mate. Like a scene from armageddon!
I hear you loud and clear mate and totally sympathise mate. I'm on the other scale of the spectrum, mortgage, kids, wife and so on and they bring their own responsibilities and pressures but I certainly don't envy anyone else's position either.
Easy for me to say mate typing away on my phone but stick at it, ride through the bad days/weeks/months if you need to because in the grand scheme of things it'll be a total of 18 tough months out of the rest of your life.
Those good days will be back, catch ups with your friends, relationships will happen again, you'll be let down multiple times still and surprised more times than you'll ever remember. Its definitely okay not to feel okay and feel down and stressed about all this mess because its a real crap show. But you just got to keep digging deep, find that little bit extra, take a good break from this thread every now and then as it definitely hurts the head at times and when all else fails, get on the match thread and boo the crap out of Everton lol

Glastonbury cancelled. Not that surprising but I do think it’s indicative that summer 2021 really isn’t going to be anything special.

2021 is a complete and total write off. Its going to be even worse than 2020.
Very depressing.

Sorry for the Mail link, but if this is true then HMG have gone barking mad:

Hospitals 'could be banned from Covid jabs' if they give second doses
Eileen Davies contracted the virus after trying to help her neighbour who had just been sent home from hospital after being tested for Covid but without knowing the result.

Too early to call 2021 a write off imo, especially at the rate of the vaccine rollout
If anyone has family members/friends who test positive for Covid, in particular if they are vulnerable, I highly recommend buying a blood oxygen saturation monitor.
I bought one off Amazon Prime for about £20 for my parents. The hospital staff think it probably stopped my Mum from dying as she went into hospital early when she was hypoxic, even though she felt OK at the time.

Looking at Israel as an example it looks like you need a huge amount of people vaccinated to make a real difference.
We're going to be locked down until April. I think the summer will be similar to last year with significant restrictions in place. Next winter who knows but its hardly going to be a normal year.

I think my concern was more accurately placed than some others who were very dismissive.
Great shout out this mate and something I should have mentioned. Very good to have around the house and just keep tabs on those levels.

More employers are opening up, more workers (usually on low pay who cant afford to take the furlough option) are going to work. Bus and train traffic is well up on the first wave. Those people at work come into contact with the public because their jobs at Home and Bargain etc etd are deemed 'essential' come in contact with the general public and they take it home...and around and around in that unvirtuous circle.
It's not rocket science is it? If this government meant buisness that it wanted a lockdown it'd have provided one.
No excuses. No ifs or buts. Let's rest the blame for this carnage at the door of where it belongs: Nos 10 and 11 Downing St.
Wouldn't be to despondent mate, it will be like this until the clocks change then we will see a level off, this is the hardest yard now, i dont see much said or written about it, but there definitely is a seasonality impact to all this at the moment. We got very lucky in the Spring last year in a lot of ways on the seasonality front.
I think i wrote on here in Sep, that Oct - March was going to be hardest time during all this, we were actively preparing for it here last summer.
Personally ive already booked stuff for the May bank holiday weekend i.e domesticly.
