Nothing else. Just keep it up.

And when infection rates are down much further there is the prospect of more activity in the open air: family garden visits; playing golf; trips outside your area for country or coastal walks / stay at home breaks; retail shopping with face masks; outdoor catering for food and drink.

That has to be better than being dead or infecting others and killing them.

When my parents are vaccinated fully i will be going round for sunday tea every sunday without fail. Illegal or not.
 
My concern is most with the old and vulnerable. Allowing them a chance to live as normal a life as possible means that everyone else curb any excesses and take a vaccine.
Everybody should have the vaccine, true, but only if they want it, if they don't, they have to take any entry, travel or similar restrictions, like it or lump it.
But...
This, curb any excesses though
Curb Excesses - what of? Stupidity, bloody mindedness? etc.
Won't happen.
Could happen...but only in a Police State...and only for so long

So curb excesses of exactly what?
Freedom?

By 'excesses' he means any remotely enjoyable aspect of life should be banned.

It has got to be judged appropriately, and we did that (in terms of excesses) all the time before this ever happened.

For example if you’ve organised a campaign against vaccination and as a result you’ve got a load of vulnerable 90 year olds packed into a squash court paying £50 each to listen to a bloke cough and splutter his way through telling them how losing his sense of taste and having a fever right now proves the covidohoax then yes, the state is probably going to have to step in.

Or if you’ve faked getting vaccinated and are working with vulnerable people based on that then babylon should also take an interest in you.
 
Just to let you know anyone with bad ill health serious .... if you have not been sent for by NHS England etc - e-mail them to find out why not .. I did this last night appointment today at 4pm - telephone call answer been overlooked - in other words bureaucracy gone wayward - I should have got a letter from the NHS- not verbal instructions to shield from my GP .......
Sorted look up their e-mail address online if you have been overlooked like me - as the UK uses individual e-mail addresses for our four countries.... NHS's COVID-19 centres
 
It’s hilarious how under some of the proposed regulations from people on this forum that it would be illegal for a vast majority of single people to have sex for absolutely ages. A basic human need and desire. I suppose it’ll just need to be “curbed” for the “greater good”.

You can tell exactly the demographic and types of people those posters are. I would say it’s probably because they’ve had their fun, but some of them I suspect have never really had much fun to begin with.
 
Indeed it is. The terminology is closely associated with the desire to have Amazon, the big tech companies and other selective companies to have complete control.
It's a term up for contestation. Who doesn't want to build back better?!

The left would see it as the chance to reset social relations and push through climate policies via changes to production. If big business want to recognise how moribund capitlism had become and change direction then they'd be wise to shift gears to embrace it.

Joey that’s disgusting; you should have got that letter in March (and again in December).

Japan isn't a police state.

who has said that?

I never said it was specifically stated. I said that the restrictions certain people are saying should be in place for the rest of this calendar year as a minimum would mean this to continually be the case.


So unless outdoor sex is legal (is it?) this is another example of people not thinking things through properly. Tbh, single people in general have been completely shafted (wa-hay) throughout this whole pandemic. If you can WFH, are middle class and have a family this whole thing is a very different experience- something I don’t think the politicians or SAGE have given much consideration to.

I’ll give you an example. My best friend lives with his parents. His partner lives alone. His parents have formed a bubble with his grandmother and his partner has formed a bubble with her own parents. Now correct me if I’m wrong, this means he is technically not allowed to see his partner? Now imagine the situation for so many people who are single or even worse single and live alone. And what little hope these people have of some normality and a chance to engage in some basic human socialisation and enjoyment in life this summer with the vaccination programme underway. And as always, the usual suspects with no actual insight into anything or how people actually function continually try to piss all over the bonfire with their own agenda. It’s tedious now. Everyone can see it and everyone has had enough of it.
