These two posts are a perfect illustration of the past year in this forum. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s_dog Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Along with the great stats from today, its brilliant to see the numbers of older people now fully vaccinated. Also, over 90% of care home residents and staff have had both doses and almost 80% of NHS frontline staff. Another week of hammering second doses and I reckon the first doses for 40-49's will take off too. With the schools all now back full-time, everything else gradually starting to open, cases might start to go up at some point, but there's still a bit of time for them to fall further before that happens, and with so many people having at least one jag, as long as we keep the vaccinations rolling on as we have been, a slight rise in cases will hopefully be the worst outcome. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately unlike England we've opened indoor hospitality too, so at least you can sit in for a meal, albeit minus the bevvy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Initially capacity maximum was 500 seated, 250 standing and 100 indoors from 17 May. Looks like those can be upped in consultation with LAs 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When my gym was open between the lockdowns everyone had masks on, were largely distancing and there was constant disinfecting. Because it was necessary then. Now it's not. It's time to get back to the real normal. That story is sad but I don't think the lessons to be taken from it are that everything should have been shut down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeTillEhDeh Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 What do you do when your cash cow died before his 100th birthday when you already have the t-shirts printed? Naturally you still flog them. I assume it's the leech of a daughter that's running all this? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
