Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

Friend who works in civil service said new restrictions coming in;

Vaccine passports for hospitality
working from home
Table service in pubs etc

Just what i've been told

Hospitality?? That'd be a HUGE leap from just for events. Vaccine only to go to a restaurant?!

 

[grandjoeblue]

Can't go to a closed pub though- which presumably is the next step

That's the issue. When they close things you can't just go, they'll target hospitality etc on purpose now.

It's coming. No Jabs, no social life.
Will be interesting to see how many jabs you need to have had. And if that is going to be an ongoing thing with boosters.

So nothing has changed in terms of bringing in a plan b but we are doing it anyway?

They even found 3 jabs neutralise the new variant as well according to the news today.

It's getting ridiculous now.

It's already events and licensed premises in NI.

I would imagine reading what was said.

The country has a plan for putting strict measures in place for everyone can get jabbed.

So it is essentially an endless cycle, booster protects so need to booster another 50 million people , then we get restrictions lifted.

It's all about looking like they are doing something to try and placate the media and those who shout loudest on social media.

None of these measures will make any difference, and the idea that we can eliminate covid is completely daft.

Encourage people to get jabs, help the health service and give them what they need. These are the only practical steps that will actually work in the long run without damaging society.

He`s also lining up someone else to take the fall for him.

He lives in number 11, which is next door to number 10.

So, how the hell could he not know what was going on next door !!!!

Plus, there`ll be loads of CCTV footage too.

I absolutely expected it to happen to that extent, I just thought they'd ease through the venues before implementing it for everything.

If this turns out to be true you'd imagine 3 doses for over a certain age, two for those under that age until maybe mid to late Feb (remember offered by end of January to book, not actually receive). Then I guess again for the variant ones, with the mechanism remaining permanently?

However many of these jabs I choose to take, I refuse to enter a premises that only takes vaccine proof for entry

I believe that in NI, you can apply for a pass after getting your first dose.

That makes even less sense than the rest of it all

That`s brilliant lol

Exactly right.

I think it could be to incentivise people to come forward.

 

[Kev The Rat]

It's obvious that lower death rates alone arent enough in today's society.

The only way we can avoid restrictions/lockdowns etc is for case levels to come down.

I dont believe vaccines/boosters are effective enough in reducing case levels, and never will be.
