This was my concern as soon as the government started talking about people having to use their own sense of judgement. Seeing pictures of people queuing for hours outside Primark before it opened and pubs stretching 'substantial food' to its absolute limit hasn't eased my concerns.Just seen the pictures from yesterday with bars opening in some places. Unbelievable to see, give people an inch and they will take a mile.
In fairness though, we've never felt the need for masks in the past.because other viruses exist
Completely agree with this but suspect there will be a push to go back to the old ways. We had a meeting at work where we had to go round every person in the company saying if we preferred WFH or being in the office. Literally everyone said WFH was better for them. We then got a memo with instructions for a phased return to the office! Makes no sense, its not like work isn't being done productivity is up.If we’re resetting society, let’s keep WFH, keep masks during winter, keep people walking around their local community, keep parents being able to drop and collect their kids.
Make it all about localism. Don’t try and save city centres and big stores, help local areas have good quality independent grocery stores and butchers/grocers (is remove business rates for these sorts of business). Make them walkable/cyclable. Make spaces for co working to happen.
Let’s get back to proper communities. We won’t have another chance like this and at the heart of both left and right wing radicalism is a yearning for community IMO.
The suggestion from Hancock the other day was that we retain testing capacity in the future and use it for things like flu. A change of mindset from we must carry on no matter what to making an effort to stop things spreading around. Things like people actually staying at home if they are ill rather than going into the office to spread it around.In fairness though, we've never felt the need for masks in the past.
as hill mentioned, that the 'poorer' areas don't get left behind in terms of local amenities

Trust, don't no who is worse him or HancockJust wondered. The bloke comes across as a bellend.
That would take a bit of a shift, mind. I've had two periods of illness since June, and they were my first illnesses since about 2015. I've noticed if I take another one before the end of December, I automatically get a warning.Things like people actually staying at home if they are ill rather than going into the office to spread it around.
What do people think about the Russian vaccine? They are starting a mass vaccination from Saturday
I know i wouldn't either tbh, it must work tho if they are giving it to everybodyIt's a built in thing in the west to not trust anything coming out of Russia. So with that in mind I wouldn't have it.
They will have an army of super soldiers by Monday.What do people think about the Russian vaccine? They are starting a mass vaccination from Saturday
I’m absolutely the same. Saving me 2 hours of travel a day, plus the cost and the freedoms to exercise longer or get a head start on housework during my lunch hour. My employer has said we will largely be adopting homeworking after this, which is a relief.
How would this work in practice? Genuinely curious as I’ve never thought it started too early for people to get a proper night’s sleep. I mean, go to bed at a relatively sensible time (10-10:30) and you’ve got opportunity for a good sleep already surely? And given the majority (albeit a shrinking majority) of parents will start work at 9am
If the Russian vaccine is offered to you it will of been approved and will there for me safe.
I'm fuggin having it. If I start chatting shit about Putin then stay clear.Well yeah. I meant if they flew over and dropped a batch a out of the sky with a small replica of the motherland calls statue in a box.
Maybe we should in the winter especially on things like public transport - time to not just be thinking of ourselves maybe?In fairness though, we've never felt the need for masks in the past.
Is it available to comrades?What do people think about the Russian vaccine? They are starting a mass vaccination from Saturday
God knows, ask CorbynIs it available to comrades?
Fair point. I live in Finham and thinking about it when things are back to normal if I was still working from home and decided I wanted to pop out for a coffee or to grab lunch unless its a pub visit then its a case of getting in the car to go somewhere.I wouldn't even say the poorer areas. More the hiding away from real life suburbs. Finham springs to mind. (I've also lived there)
There is absolutely nothing going on there and they are up in arms about any change.
It's be Costa, Greegs, Starbucks, McDonald'sFair point. I live in Finham and thinking about it when things are back to normal if I was still working from home and decided I wanted to pop out for a coffee or to grab lunch unless its a pub visit then its a case of getting in the car to go somewhere.
You'd hope if more people are spending their days in the local area then the facilities would improve. There's plenty of places that would be well suited to cafes, coffee shops etc. Would be great to see smaller, local, businesses thrive.
Why, wasn't average life expectancy long enough before?Maybe we should in the winter especially on things like public transport - time to not just be thinking of ourselves maybe?

We need to cure Cancer not stop the transmission of the common cold.
