Elixir Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Truly you must need to be a 'behavioural scientist' to theorise this cutting edge take: Quote Posted at 10:14 Concern vaccinated people 'may drop their guard' Today Programme BBC Radio 4 ReutersCopyright: Reuters A behavioural scientist for Sage, the government's science advisors, has warned people may become lax with lockdown restrictions once they've received their coronavirus vaccine. Prof Susan Michie says: "The concern is that as the vaccination programme rolls out and more people are getting vaccinated themselves and seeing other people in their community getting vaccinated, that people may drop their guard." Evidence from rollouts of vaccinations for Lyme disease and influenza shows those vaccinated are less likely to stick to those preventative behaviours, says Prof Michie. In national surveys carried out in December, some 29% of people said that after getting vaccinated they would adhere less strictly and 11% said they would not follow the rules any more. It's almost like what we've always been told is the way out, which provides people a near guarantee of being prevented from severe illness and death, and which makes them far less likely to be infectious, is going to subsequently lead to them pursuing normal human activities. Err... a bit like any vaccine. Michie the Communist is probably enjoying this whole situation more than anyone else and is dreading the end being near. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phoned up and within 15 minutes she was at her surgery getting the vaccine. Incredible how many people aren't going for there vaccine. Bad news for her today is she is floored. Absolutely fucked, like flu symptoms. However being type 1 diabetic I don't know if this has just made her feel worse. f**k knows but peace n quiet all day She got her second dose on Thursday and was like a burst couch yesterday. Better today, I was sick looking and listening to her. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never venture into the Politics forum after having a brief look aHe’s ago and seeing the absolute state of it, so the Old Firm political mentality has become really clear in this thread. With a large portion of people it’s any criticism of the SNP/ScotGov and you are a Tory vs any criticism of Westminster/Union/praise for SNP/ScotGov and you are a lockdownphile who wants to restrict liberties forever. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't go on it much either, but was drawn to the "Alec Salmond" thread. You'll want to live in an independent country after reading it. I'm thinking about Syria. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael W Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 7 day lockdown ordered in Auckland because 1 case was discovered. A true case study in idiocy, however - the guy went for a Covid test and then went to the gym. https://www.rte.ie/news/coronavirus/2021/0227/1199696-coronavirus-new-zealand/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When did we have a lockdown and other restrictions placed upon us during an influenza outbreak or a tick infestation? Lyme disease is f**king horrible btw, I don't remember any vaccination program for it. How can that compared with what we have been through over the last year? Again this is someone getting wound up about people getting back to normal life and simply doing people things. Viruses are something we have to live with, the risk is always going to be around. But at least progressing through the vaccination rollout there is less and less risk in fatalities or serious illness with the groups still to be vaccinated. This guy is going to have a bad day the day the lockdowns are lifted. I take it he doesn't smoke cigars. She/her* 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboke Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Eh just to say that maybe high schoolsters should be given 4 weeks off before their easter break in exchange for going to school for 4 weeks in the summer. So swapping 4 weeks of blended learning when parents are at home during lockdown for 4 weeks of proper learning in the summer when their parents need to be out at work driving the economy. A six week easter holiday when the going is bad and still space for a couple of weeks off in summer before the next school year begins. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
