If you’re still at school it’s actually not insignificant and has been incredibly disruptive as the quite alarming mental health picture shows in that age group.

The older you are the less of a % of your life this has affected and the more important for your own health the restrictions have become.

A lot of people will wear them anyway.

Look at shops, almost no one wore them last week, now the rate is incredibly high.

in the war those at school would be sent to far away places and live with strangers - it’s all about teaching perspective

And does the Sports Bar count as inside the stadium? many people in there before and after game, half time too.

it’s a bit vague what they’ve said isn’t it. I’ve no problem wearing a mask, but like someone has said, will be difficult to enforce.

Well if your drinking No.
Dont see what people dont understand eating and drinking you dont need to.
I Have worn one walking through the concourse this season not a problem.
Then again we have the I am allergic to wearing a mask and I dont want the jab because it might hurt and I might grow horns brigade.

Kids just need to man up.

Could say the same to the vulnerable? People in the war had bombs dropped on them. It could be worse. Get over it.

Well it is really. There were restrictions for a small proportion of peoples lives. Frankly I’d rather have a few people with some mental health anxiety as they can’t go clubbing for a few months than cancer patients denied access to treatment which threatens their lives.

Now that’s going to impact Mental health

I'm sure they can just get over it though? In the 1600s they would have just been left to rot in the gutter.

Times are completely different to the war. It's an awful comparison.

I'm pretty sure it's not than not so much about going clubbing but the development of children.

Small proportion of people with restrictions? Really?

This probably is a very good development for children in many ways - we live in a very privileged society and 80% of the world population now envy our COVID lifestyle versus their normal one and perhaps that’s the lesson teachers need to teach

Odd comparison but then why should the non vulnerable moan? I used to go to the pub most days, football at weekends, foreign holidays every year. For a fraction of my life I can’t. Really who cares?

Yeah a fraction of a life you have lived.

The difference in my daughter was noticeable and for a 12 year old there are a lot more daily worries than when I was that age.

Far more experienced colleagues than me have never seen the scale of mental health issues among the kids as they have in these past 2 years.

The worst affected are in Year 7 so clubbing not quite on their agenda. Though yes again I don’t consider masks in the concourse the end of the world either.

I'm pretty sure you would have something to say if a puppy was locked away and unsocialised for months. (Rightly so too)

Add into that all the fear they have drummed into them all day every day.

Yes, but hang on to the empty glass for emergencies. Seems it's fine to go to the bog, but you mustn't queue for it!

I agree about the 10% of people failing the rest of us in this fight, and making the restrictions worse as a result. But tbh this Omicron wave would still require some measures regardless of how many people were vaccinated because it's a slightly different enemy.

no it wouldn’t - how can you defend anyone who hasn’t been vaccinated? We should actually start with this sort of event and not allow entry unless vaccinated
Click to expand...
I assume this is a poor attempt at satire?
All be it early studies are showing natural immunity is at the very least equal to the vaccine this 1 day old guardian article based on the South African data seems to bear this out.

South Africa: previous infections may explain Omicron hospitalisation rate

High levels of previous infection in province at centre of outbreak may be behind relatively low level of severe disease, expert says
www.theguardian.com

While I think people should get vaccinated especially if they are in at risk groups. However I am sick of how totalitarian SOME vaccinated folk get especially when there is clear peer reviewed studies that show the picture is much more complex than government makes out.

On the news today that due to the age profile and different ethnic groups, 30% of Londoners still not jabbed. after all this time and still not even a single jab maybe requiring all social and sporting events need these restrictions to encourage a better uptake or we will almost certainly be in some form of lockdown before Spring.

Click to expand...

As others have said, if you’re not eating or drinking, put a mask on. We’re all adults, I’d rather wear a mask in the concourse than be stopped from going and football behind closed doors again.

I wore a mask into the ground and to my seat on Saturday and had a scrote in a fake Burberry scarf call me a masker. I said I’d wear one too if I was you with that face and even his mate laughed. It feels like some people have a personality vacuum these days and just want to talk about Covid and masks non-stop.

So correct me if I'm wrong here please. But you have to wear a mask in the concourse (not if you are drinking or eating) but you don't have to wear a mask in your seat next to hundreds of people in close proximity for 90 minutes?
OK then.

Same as the ruling for pubs a while ago. If you're standing up, wear a mask. If you're seated, you don't need to wear a mask. So does the virus only attack very tall people and those that are just standing? If I'm seated, does it just pass safely over my head?
