Donathan Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Tbf I wouldn’t mind hand washing remaining long term and a more liberal attitude to staying off work when you have a cold or the flu. Everything else can get in the bin though. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeTillEhDeh Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 The media now making a thing about these so called vaccine passports, not just to travel abroad but to use basic services. The government are playing it down so hopefully just air time fillimg.Personally i find the idea of mandatory vaccines by the backdoor a bit unsettling and I’m not anti vax at all. What utter tosh.This is not new - there are lots of countries where you won't get in unless you have the correct vaccinations - this is no different.If you want to travel get vaccinated - if you don't want vaccinated then tough fucking titty. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the issue is purely with travel then i agree it's tosh but if the issue was more around access to basic services then it's more contentious. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is contentious but understandable. For the foreseeable future COVID will be a threat, the vaccines are not 100% effective so even those of us who choose to be inoculated are still at risk. When we get back to a level of normality I’d be wary of sitting at a football match knowing that there could be people close by who have refused to be vaccinated and are thereby far more likely to be sufferers and spreaders. ETA of course attending a football match might not be seen as access to a basic service. Edited December 3, 2020 by Granny Danger 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't disagree - I was just commenting that the original post wasn't necessarily tosh if the contentious point was the access to basic services. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless he genuinely think people won’t ever again have parties/large gatherings and has gone completely insane.

madwullie Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 (edited) I'm sure I read somewhere that it was absolutely laughable to suggest that restrictions would be in place well into 2021? Edit: might even have been on here? Edit 2: actually can't have been here because my recollection is that people got mercilessly abused and down voted for the suggestion, and that's not the way this discussion forum rolls Edited December 3, 2020 by madwullie 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knowing this petty island though... How long until skint & ruthless companies start outsourcing a large chunk of their office/ admin work to cheap labour countries abroad? personally I found the honeymoon period great , mostly because we don't have to work by the clock like we would if we were there. If home working was optional then I'd imagine that would change and those at home would be expected to structure the day exactly as those in the office, it then goes from being easy to potentially quite challenging depending on your home life 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
