Given we can have terrible weather until the end of April, maybe there is sense in waiting until people are forced indoors, to make sure they last for long enough.The concern would be we haven't come close to getting the numbers down as low as last summer. The hope would be that the vaccines will mean that isn't as big a problem as last year.
Find the unwillingness to push the button on boosters odd given that we supposedly had them on order months ago so supply isn't an issue and the data from elsewhere shows it brings cases down.
You've been through the mixer mate.Wouldn't wish it on anyone. Not even Mowbray haters.
But at least now we won't take life for granted. Although after time you start to forget I guess but I have this thread to remind me lol

Well you say panic... cases rise, hospitalisations don't, would be a very reassuring thing to happen!Now that all under 18s and all double jabbed no longer have to isolate.....what's the actual point of mass testing in schools.....other than to induce panic when the case figures inevitably rise?

I suppose I see what you're saying, and there's no doubt the government advice is contradictory all-round. I can think of one practical personal reason where it would be handy however, that Mrs Wisdom's mum has taken on child minding duties again, but is clinically extremely vulnerable with a seriously depressed immune system. Some kind of notice so her granddaughter can be withdrawn from her care would be handy...True.....it just seems a rather pointless & costly excercise to constanlty test to find asymptomatic cases in children who are at no risk from it, and whose siblings, parents, classmates & all their other contacts can crack on regardless anyway......
.....I already know of a few parents who are getting their kids to swerve all testing unless they've actually got symptoms to avoid anymore unecessary disruption to their eductation....
Hope it’s nothing dazSo chances of another lockdown increasing
I’m currently self isolating And working from home as my daughter has tested positive on a lateral flow and took a pcr yesterday and currently waiting on results.
I’m going for a pcr later as I’ve developed a cough tickly throat and a blocked nose
Personally I think a lockdown between December and January would be betterOctober lockdown, thoughts?
October lockdown, thoughts?
Cheers mate , not sure if it’s just a cold to be fair, aching muscles and ribs tooHope it’s nothing daz
But it'll depend entirely on how things pan out with cases, hospitalisations, deaths...Personally I think a lockdown between December and January would be better
And to planBut it'll depend entirely on how things pan out with cases, hospitalisations, deaths...
There might not even be anything, or that might be one from November until March- it's currently not possible to say.
What's best, surely, is to hold tight and watch what happens, for better or worse.
It can fuck off.
If the majority have the jabs or antibodies then why is it needed?
That was the original plan. I made my parents flu jab appointments as soon as they were accepting bookings for that reason. Now it seems they won't be doing the 'one in each arm' which, assuming eventually they will say boosters are needed, just seems to be creating more work as people will need two appointments, one for flu, one for covid.Common sense would be to give them all a booster alongside the flu jab.....assuming the flu jab arrives that is...
The problem is we're starting from a point where the NHS was already underfunded and having a crisis every winter. When was there last a winter without reports of hospitals turning patients away because they were full and ambulances queuing outside A&E? That gives you very little room to work with. A slight uptick in covid hospitalisations could create a major issue.If hospitals get overwhelmed regardless because too many people won’t get vaccinated then I can see the case for it - obviously wouldn’t be happy about it.
Indeed.Better to have a plan in place then wait until we're at crisis point and start discussing what to do.
Well that's just absurd bollocks. They'll bring them in if medical advice recommends it, and government filters said advice as in their interest, and also the national interest.As I said months ago, now people are used to lockdowns they will be much quicker to bring them in.

When is a plan not a plan? Covid: No plans for October lockdown, says governmentAnd to plan
2 weeks isn't it? Don't mind thatOctober lockdown, thoughts?

Its a no from meOctober lockdown, thoughts?
Why do you think it came out now? It softens people up, even if the government quickly reacted and tried to rubbish it. Someone leaked it, and I'm pretty sure it will happen.
It's never going to end. The vaccine war is the latest thing to use as a stick to divide people with. Looking at Israel, it's quite interesting to see how that is unfolding. Double jabbed people are not really considered fully vaccinated anymore.
What is the "vaccine war?"
Blaming the virus on people that have not have the jab, or those that have only had one jab, soon to be those that have only had two jabs.
If you cannot see that this is never going to end on its current path, then I'm afraid I can't help you.
There was a purported one with the EU over vaccine supply.What is the "vaccine war?"
Just to be clear, if ever I did need help, you would be the last person I would be approaching for it.
No time for the mass conspiracy theory bullshit.
There was a purported one with the EU over vaccine supply.
Also an ongoing one over several years (MMR was the main 'battleground'), where public health officials have to battle with dangerous disinformation about vaccines, to show that they are indeed worthwhile, while nutters release information to the contrary under the auspices of a research akin to a David Icke style.
That post is just empty nonsense really.
Again, calling something a conspiracy theory because you can't argue against it coherently is just nonsense.
Why could we be facing another lockdown? I guess you will just accept it lying down anyway. The vaccine needs boosters, as we are seeing in Israel. The most advanced country on the rollout so far. That is fact, and we should use developments in other nations ahead of us and learn from it.
