I dont mind, it’s all on the brexit thread anyway. Yeah, a borderline one, as in it was a toss up right up the the vote I did my own research though and had my own reasons. Might sound strange but on a personal level it probably wasn’t the right way to vote. I’ve mentioned on the Brexit thread...

I know, I’m talking about political reality. If many voted to leave because of uninhibited freedom of movement to then stay in CU just wouldn’t work. Both major parties accepted this in 2017 election

Yeah, I agree, we can’t be shocked by it. It’s a joke though. People saying ‘oh just stay in CU’ are ignoring the realities of the vote as well though....but we’ve been going over all this for five years ! I’ve said my piece, some kind of food standards arrangement could/should resolve a fair...

Realistically not sure that could ever have happen without freedom of movement etc. Just wasn’t deliverable. Always felt there could be some kind of food standards alignment/agreement which could deal with a fair few of the border issues though.

yeah, my concern is that this will backfire eventually though, with people deleting app and then not knowing if they’ve been near someone with Covid...and therefore not testing. A few have said before, just move it to testing if you’re double jabbed and get pinged now, rather than wait til 16...

Confirmed cases 44k. I never get too excited about reduction in speed of increase until we see it over 4-5 days but last couple have been better* Covid inpatients in England still averaging an increase of around 150 per day (4k in total)…don’t want to speak too soon as there’s a long way to go...

yeah, got two Wycombe mates and said Max would be a good fit for them/him. They said it’s rumoured they’re looking at him

It’s in the genes 😊 Sorry, couldn’t resist That’s what my unscientific mind thought as well, like different variants of flu can be caught every year or so. I heard a modeller/scientist saying the numbers of people getting it who’ve been vaccinated compared to those who’ve caught Covid...

It’s been said before, times can change quickly in politics, the vaccine bounce will disappear soon, especially if the current situation worsens (not just cases/deaths but people self isolating unnecessarily etc). Labour just need to sort their shit out for when the inevitable opportunity arises

I’m not pining it on young people at all. Read through any of my historical posts and I’ve been clear the younger generations been disproportionately disadvantaged by the pandemic and lockdowns. My post was in response to people querying my comment about taking the vaccine is people’s own...

Well, you could do both of those things if you wanted to but it would be pretty idiotic and against the law. My point was we live in a democracy (ish) and there is freedom of choice which I think is ok as long as people aren’t spreading anti vax nonsense on the net to encourage others to follow...

Ive always felt it’s each to their own on vaccine choice but the government suggesting vaccine passports for nightclubs late Sept indicates they’re concerned youngsters just won’t get them unless coerced/forced. Only 12k first doses Sunday. 30% of 18-30 years olds unvaccinated. Add that to anti...

Considering 68% of adult population is double jabbed only 12%* of total hospitalisations is low/good. *appreciate there’s unfortunately a small number of kids in that number

Wouldn’t be surprised, especially as theres concerns about flu hospitalisations.

Agreed, deaths and hospital Covid inpatients is what they’ll be keeping a close eye on in coming weeks.

Yeah, it’s such a fine balance between personal benefit and greater good. My point was that I don’t think countries are currently giving vaccines to kids to protect them, which doesn’t sit comfortably with me. As I’ve said I’d personally rather risk getting covid (after being jabbed) than make...

Yeah, not saying death but to date all I’ve seen is the risk of the impact of covid for kids is less than the risk of kids having the vaccine. Might change but I think that’s the current view here

Maybe they have scientific evidence to suggest jabbing kids is of greater benefit/less risky to them than getting covid. I doubt it though. Forget testing policies in media, it looks like they’re gambling on kids lives due to adult vaccine reticence He backtracked a week later…wisely. Never...
