Going to need a lot more but hopefully will help some families

Clueless.

TBH mate you are just as clueless if you think 3 million people are still shielding. Many will be, but many aren't. I for one am no longer shielding. I know many others who are not either. You need to stop making blanket statements and speaking for others.

People need to be sensible for a bit longer yet but it is not the grim picture it was a few months ago.

My Mother is still very much shielding, shes had 1 jab and waiting on her 2nd, I suspect she will still shield, sadly this thing has terrified her and will probably continue to for a very long time.

But IMO, she has nothing to fear atm.

Bless her.
And this is the point @davek will always ignore. She's probably petrified in part due to the nature of such crass statements made by the likes of Dave.

 

[jinkyali]

What a statement.

There's a world in between 'existing' and being reckless. It just isn't that black and white.

This is a pandemic. So just let me say it loud and clear for the hard of learning who after 15 months of carnage still dont get it:

THIS THING IS STILL WITH US; IT IS NOWHERE NEAR OVER. RESPECT IT AND AVOID IT AND AVOID GIVING IT TO OTHERS.

This thing will never be over though.
You can't or won't reconcile that there are other contributory factors to life.

You may be petrified of it. I get it. Thousands are. But thousands are not and unfortunately your just going to have to accept it.

The world needs to revolve now the armoury we have is so fantastic.

Please, respect others and there choices in life. Try and avoid putting over statements your not qualified to and try and avoid the news eh.

 

[JLW]

Yeah. I must be mad.

127,000 people dead; a human catastrophe in this country and nowhere near over.

What am I thinking of. I wish I was sane like you.

You keep mentioning the 127,000 people dead that figure won’t rise much more than that. Yes there will still be some more Covid deaths but not to the scale were we can’t live a normal life from now on. We won’t get to zero like we won’t get to zero with the flu. It’s under control now and the sooner people can start living a life again the better. We don’t live in a perfect virus free world and we never will.
Get yourself down to a beer garden and have a few beers mate it will do you the world of good. Stop worrying about the “what ifs”

 

[roydo]

maybe some assistance will come from the labs.

 

[grandjoeblue]

Not in my family unfortunately. I have lost a family member due to suicide and another family member is close to being sectioned after spending the last 12 months locked in on their own.

My partner works in mental health and these statistics also do not align with the demand for these services which has gone through the roof.

 

[Mrk]

Funny that many of the people calling for perpetual lockdown and restrictions tend to be those who even in normal times spend all day every day sitting on the internet shouting at strangers. "If I can't have a life, neither can you".

 

[Nymzee]

Thought all the forum boffins told us suicides went up.

 

[Charro]

Clueless.

I live with an extremely vulnerable person.

I know a few more. You have never spoke for them.

They have the desire to get back to normal as much as anyone.

 

[BlueStevie35]

You can do all that and still not step indoors and get (and then spread) a deadly virus. <<<< My point.

Most restaurants and pubs don’t have an outside facility due to their size, only one of the 4 pubs closest to me have reopened because they have a beer garden, the other 3 remain closed meaning they are losing hundreds if not thousands a month paying electricity, tv and having their supplies go to waste.

 

[Tramps_mate]

The vaccines will help. But only help.

Indoor events will spread virus - especially amongst half the population not vaccinated.

But I do indeed demand you and others answer me this pretty reasonable question: why is it necessary for some people to have to sit indoors for hours, cheek by jowl with others, just so they can experience the old normal - when the ultimate outcome will be people dying of covid19 next autumn and winter because the cases have rocketed again?

Is that really worth watching some poxy band that sells about 10 'kin downloads in their whole career, or for some dullard who's too lazy to cook to stick a plateful of crap in their gobs at some divvy's restaurant, or some spanner to get pissed every other night. Their 'right' to do that overrides other's right to life?

Let me remind you: 3 million vulnerable people still very much shielding despite the vaccine roll out are dependent on all of us showing some common sense and discipline.

We can all catch Covid.. But if no ones dying from it, what is the problem?

Please show your data for this..

The ONS has admitted that ATLEAST 25% of the deaths were not related to Covid in any way...
