None of this ties into what my daughter is telling me.
Of course not dear since when does Lisa Truss not over egg the pudding.

Just as well various organisation involved in the older care sector were prepared to go court just before local elections, which forced and embarrassed the government to change its legislation Friday..
 
I'm sure it will,my post was in relation to the present situation and the opening up of social situations without spikes in infection levels. Take a quick look at Facebook pages like UK Column News and there are thousands who blame everything from God to Gates for a conspiracy to turn them into imprisoned drones. They are committed to carrying on life without any precautions.

24m people in this country live in areas with no COVID deaths in the last month mate.

But the virus is still here, and that's not just because of freaks and antivaxxers who I agree are divvies but what can you do? It's everyone's choice what they put in their bodies. I don't agree with their reasoning but at some stage we do have to go back to normal as we're slowly approaching right now in the UK.

We have to get back to normal because the virus isn't going anywhere. All we can do is live with it. For now that means precautions, and I imagine this coming winter it will mean precautions/some restrictions and additional booster shots for those that need them. But long term, it's about getting the virus down to something as about as dangerous as flu is to the vast majority of people. The vaccines are going to help massively with that - and seemingly already are.
 
There should be a huge GOT meeting in Liverpool in the summer. Seeing posters irl would be amazing lol
 
I always wonder what the people behind the avatar on here are really like.
I'm not sure i want to find out.

If you upgrade your account, there is a 500 page thread in the Upgraded Lounge, all about folk posting pics of themselves. There arnt 500 pics, obvs, but quite a few.

At least 6 GOTers frequent Tommy Frosts on match days, that I know of.

How much of an issue do you think this will become?

Do you think most people will get it or will it stop the country reaching herd immunity?
I don’t know if there’s any definitive number that scientists agree equates to herd immunity. If it’s as low as 75% like some have claimed, then once the vaccines are approved for all ages, then it feels possible we reach that threshold eventually. If it’s closer to 90% like others have speculated, then no, America won’t be reaching herd immunity.

I generally try to be optimistic but in this instance I sadly think it will become a problem with reaching herd immunity, certainly on a regional basis but likely overall.

Of particular concern is the percentage of front line healthcare workers who, at least so far, seem vaccine hesitant.
