Like the couple in Melbourne, who, while under lockdown, decided they were having the holiday they booked...and were probably going to by plane...drove 2,200kms the long inland way round on minor roads to the sunshine coast and spent a week there then felt sick. Potentially infecting every small town and business they stopped at.
Do you mean that sort of reckless and selfish or another kind.

No, healthy people who’ve complied with all the rules and regs, had all the tests and then go on permitted holidays abroad - the new pariahs.

So are we able to stop wearing masks once both jabs are given then, getting sick of going to the shop without one. I try to have one in each jacket/coat but guarantee it'll be the one without if going to the shop.

If you've had 2 jabs you still have to fully isolate etc if the covid app identifies any interactions. There are no allowances in the rules for the vaccinated.

Hard to not have the app installed now if you go anywhere. I seem to get asked to sign in everywhere I go. I've even been asked to show them the app a few times in Costa.

Times like this I'm glad I'm a boring loner who stays in with his dog haha However if it is needed I will install it, I've been carrying around my vax card.

Think when Hancock spoke today about his civil servants predicted worst case 800,000 dead on their modelling in January 2020 far more deaths than that Ferguson predicted speaks volumes of how very seriously they did not corona virus. As ministers skied and the PM wrote a book and discussed his divorce. Astounding negligence.

Still low absolute numbers but trend not great.


iirc the flatter bit of the second plot suggests shorter stays than previous waves

Captain Hindsight.

This thread didnt even start till 20th Jan, 2020.

I was spending 2 or 3 hours a day, every day, in an ICU in Bristol, and there was not a single sign of anything untoward on the way.

That happened to me in Manchester the other day.
The waitress checked and doubled checked.
Am I right in saying that you can sign in with the NHS COVID 19 app but it doesn't need to be switched
on to scanning? It looks like it, but seems a bit pointless if that is the case.
