It just pissed me off. Want me to quote every single time you’ve moaned about something with at least you are alive?
And the initial post was fine, it’s the response to me saying my sons good health isn’t lockdown related. Then it looks to me like it’s being made out I can’t say lockdown has been shit for me because other people on this thread have lost people close to them.

That isn't what I meant at all. It is kind of how I feel about being told 'not everyone's a teacher' and 'not everyone has a wedding planned' in response to gripes about those two things. Yeah, I'm more than aware of that. It's all the missus has been talking to me about this year and as one is my job and one is a big life event yes I mention them a lot. Even today's advice remains vague as fuck about what we can and cannot do, and we have all the payments falling due very shortly so I really don't know what to do.

Whatever, let's move on.

Wedding venues decision on numbers from what I’ve read (what they feel they can do safely). Table service. Dancing not advised but sounds like outdoors its not illegal…rave in the woods it is !

I see - I interpreted it as you could have these outside if you could get the venue to agree to the risk assessment.

Great news @Brighton Sky Blue

A lot still remains uncertain unfortunately. If the current guidance holds, we're going to have to cancel quite a large chunk of it to the point where we don't know if there's any point going ahead with it in terms of the money we stand to lose. And it's for not even 72 hours' difference.

Missus is quite upset, I don't know what to do and it leaves us with more questions than answers.

Heres one for all of you.

So say everything stays as it is, cases hospitalisations etc.

Then another variant pops up like this one and he tries to extend again for another 4 weeks


Would you change opinion and call for normality?

As above-compromised to the point where we almost don't want to hold it. But we'll never get another date this year and next year will be close to fully booked too I imagine.

The one hope is if we could negotiate a risk assessment that factors in everyone going being vaccinated.

This one is totally on Johnson. He stopped you all from going to Portugal for no apparent reason yet did absolutely fuck all when presented with the fact that a new variant was coming in from India unchallenged, unmonitored, unchecked.

Some people will still defend him though and simultaneously kick off at the injustices of the extension.

Hopefully you can work it out with the venue. It’s in their interest to come up with a workable plan too.

We’ll see what they say. What I can see clearly though is this place is doing no favours so I’ll be off for a few months.

Never mind your wedding Brighton, I've just had word that 'Tots Fest' which we bought tickets for my then 2 year old to attend in July 2020 will now be put back for a further year until August 2022. He's literally waited half of his life to attend

Probably there at visiting hours when it can feel like the entire world is there. And that is enough for some to claim the hospital is overrun.

Johnson is a moron, announces a delay and then claims he’s opposed to a further one.
What is the data is worse? It will make this one seem like it was pointless and then they’d be his inevitable u-turn.

If we are going to be pedantic this isn’t actually a delay and also he didn’t rule out further delays

you are making no sense. How can there be the chance of further delays if this isn’t actually a delay

It isn’t a delay no as the exact wording Stated the 21st was the earliest date it would be considered - he was asked a question on other variants and said if one made the vaccine ineffective he’d have to lock down again.

If there's a new public health emergency, you respond to it however you need to. I wouldn't start demanding normality just because I'm tired and fed up with the last one.

The thing I don’t understand is the current infections are doubling energy 6-8 days and we’ve done nothing to reduce them. At that rate in 4 weeks we’ll be at 112000 infections a day. Hope he’s got things covered

So basically a political decision to delay closing a border for 3 weeks to a new variant has cost us 4 extra weeks of lockdown.

Also think it’s pretty clear that this decision was made weeks ago.

Well clearly from people who aren’t vaccinated or who are and are not having major symptoms. A study today showed that there is 95% protection from hospitalisation if you are fully vaccinated
