I've learned so much about my neighbours the past year and a half.

Mainly because we've all been bloody stuck next to each other 24/7!

I have a new question, I've been working where I'm working for 8 months through an agency , always said to my missus that when I go full time contract we'd book a holiday for the following year .

Jobs have come up on contract and I've applied , so hopefully if all goes well il be employed by them by the end of July.

Would you book abroad for summer 2022?

While you're here... you're not one of the ones working to rule, so my bins aren't getting emptied, are you?

tbh I'd wait for booking abroad until it all settles down - unless it's free refund, or only losing a small deposit of course. Also depends where you want to go I guess, too. If it's USA or (Europe!) then they ought to be similar rate of vaccines to us so it's either working or not, and you'd assume travel would be OK if all is good. If you fancy a trip to Guatamala however...

When I tell some of the residents that even my blue bin wasn't emptied, they can't quite believe that themselves.

We are working hard to ensure all waste is collected , please be patient.

I'm a little hesitant to discuss it on here as I don't know who is lurking

Fair enough. Someone did pop something up on my local facebook(!) page about health and safety measures being expected to be shortcut and if so, I'll stand with you comrade

Either way it seems a lot of people have took offence to my words, apologised already so wont again, but i dont apologise for having an opinion that this shit needs to stop and we need normality. Boris and co keep saying we need to live with it. So lets live with it
Click to expand...

I think that’s fair. As it stands, I don’t see fit reason for this to be extended beyond 19th July and by then you’d expect to have more than sufficient data to make a better judgement.

Whether that data says what we are all desperate for it to say is another matter entirely!

Pretty weird that the same people complaining endlessly that everyone else/the media are secret lockdown lovers are the same ones encouraging everyone to sack off the few restrictions we have left, even though there’s only a few weeks to go.

Maybe some people are finding mask-wearing a bit harder than I’ve been, and we’ve all got a choice - if I loved lockdown so much that I wanted to try and get another last-minute extension then I know which I’d choose though.

Yes. There's no way in hell you won't be able to go abroad in summer 2022. People just wont have it.

Well it’s a month, not a couple of weeks. And they seem happy to let 45,000 pack into Wembley a couple of times before that’s up

Most people hospitalised are released on the same day too apparently ..

My friend was initially, although this was at the peak of the pandemic and he ended up in ICU a few days later
Click to expand...
My worry from these figures isn't the total hospitalisation but the fact that 84 people who had had the 2nd dose were hospitalised and 26 of these died. Whilst we don't know if they had underlying health conditions or their ages the fact remains that the vaccine isn't 100% efficient and people can still die so maybe we still need to be wary and thoughtful of others even if we've had our 2nd jab.

The point is though the numbers overall are less - people jabbed die of flu it’s just massively reduced

Thousands die of flu every year despite being vaccinated. The state cannot prevent death and we cannot resort to hiding every winter in case it happens.

Exactly.

People need to understand this but the fact it is going to be in their faces everytime they put the news on to scare them, people won't see it like that.

Death has always happened and always will.

Death has never been the issue. We’ve never tried to stop deaths. We’ve tried to stop our systems being overrun. Those saying “well we just need to live with it” are asking for significant tax rises to spend on the systems that would be otherwise overrun.

Serious illness, same practical consequence for the health service. If someone is double jabbed and boostered, that’s all that can reasonably be asked of the state in protecting them.

Maybe we can ban cars and roads to stop people from going to hospital from accidents?
Maybe we can just cull obese people who will often use the NHS a lot more because they are obese?

Is it going to be a case of lockdowns every winter to stop the systems from being overrun?

They will spin it on percentages though.

After all if there were 5 and then the next week there were 10 it would be a 100% increase and that's what they would run with as a headline.

Scaremongering bullshit.

If they extend the restrictions again we fully intend to carry out the heinous act of dancing and singing indoors. The question is will one policeman or two be required to haul out the missus

This Ends on July the 19th. If some people want to lock themselves away forever then so be it! The vaccines work and all the vunerable people are double jabbed....what more can be done?

60,000 people allowed at Wembley, 140,000 at Sipverstone but stand up drink receptions and indoor dancing remain banned. It’s almost like the politicians have a vested interest

Rebooked for the week he hopefully opens things back up. We have kept all our suppliers and day guests but we have now lost half a dozen or so evening guests.
