Jobs lost, homes lost, families fractured.

Hard Lines?

You clearly have zero skin, (finance/job wise) in this. Good for you.

He’s the biggest tory on here.

He’s a son of thatcher with how he speaks.

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.

Well said.

We're in a pandemic. Lives will be lost with people going indoors at their establishments.

Health wealth; life over death. No apologies from me on that one.

Businesses come and go. That is a fact of life.

There is still a need to be "careful" when fully-vaccinated people meet each another, vaccines minister Nadhim Zahawi has said.

He told Sky News: "If the vaccines have 85% efficacy and we vaccinate fully 85% of the adult population, that is still only 72% protection - that is quite a sizeable percentage for the virus to go after and infect, which is why we have to be careful."

About one in four adults have had the two doses, Zahawi said, though the number of doses was "accelerating", with April "a big second dose month".

On whether restrictions could be lifted as per the road map, Zahawi said: "The data is looking good and positive but nevertheless we really have to be careful because what we don't want is mutations, for example, to blindside us and then have another spike."



Comes to something when that baldy Tory get is being more humanitarian and mindful of others' well being than some posters on an Everton forum.

...and last summer wasn't the grim picture it was last March and April...but then it became grim again, didn't it?

I think you're purposely misrepresenting my view here (and you're not alone in that). My view is "Great. The infection rate is low. Get out and do more and see others and go into retail as long as you're masked up and socally distancing. Go and have a drink and eat out, as long as it's outdoors." But make no mistake - WHEN THIS GOES INDOORS FOR MUSIC / SPORT EVENTS AND HOSPITALITY THE INFECTION RATES WILL CLIMB AND CLIMB...SO WHY DO IT?!?!?!

...I make no apologies for the capitals...seeing as my words are twisted by the usual suspects on here (who are usually Tory-lite apologists).

I am no Tory thank you.

Rates will climb, of that I am sure. So long as they do not go to unmanageable levels then fine. If they do then we will have to stop again. We have to start somewhere though. This is never going to go away. That doesn't mean we should ignore it but you cannot stop things forever.

I am not misrepresenting anything. You said 3 million people are still shielding. I called you out on that being false because it is. You made that statement whilst most likely knowing it is not true. So why do it? Where did you get that info from or did you just make it up?

People die. That is a fact of life.

...but not of Covid19 and not in great numbers if they can avoid places where it can be transmitted easily. <<<< My point.

Just underlines my observation that you have the advantage of being insulated from the real life impact this has on many many people. Good for you.

Very true.

Davek is essentially saying let the poor people struggle as he's sat there fine in his ivory tower.

Didn't say you were mate....though you're lying down with dogs with fleas on this issue on here right now.

Look at India and places like it. Look at the UK in the winter. Isn't it enough we can do what we can right now in order to get on with life? Do we simply HAVE TO have people indoors en masse (which it will be after May 17th) in order to 'live'?

My point is a simple one at root: why invite another surge and mega death rates again? WHY?!?!?!

That's BS - and a BS excuse for an absence of a clear argument. You have no idea. None.

 

[Tramps_mate]

Is this right? Can you link a source as didn’t see this.

Maybe the 'ATLEAST' was me just being a bit facetious, but it was in the news not long a go.. I found it on Telegraph but its behind paywall.

Quarter of Covid deaths not caused by virus, new figures show

Calls to speed up roadmap as 23 per cent of recent deaths are people dying 'with' disease rather than 'from' it

No idea about what?

No idea about what?

Me or my circumstances.

It's a playing the man and not the ball situation.
