Todd_is_God Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 To the surprise of absolutely no-one, early signs Germany's exit wave looks to be on the reverse. Good job they have shat the bed and fired a load of impending resrictions on events then... When will we learn? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you seriously suggesting that anyone with any mild symptom should be cancelling all plans and staying home for the rest of time? £5k holiday tomorrow, but I’ve coughed today, better bin the whole thing then!

You'd never catch a P&B member faking a result just to gain entry to some venue or other. No siree. Im pretty sure one of the last people on here to suggest an ignoring of restrictions was one of the snp fan boys? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was an answer to should you go to the cup final if symptomatic and the answer is no.

gc_smfc Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Off to New York next week, has anyone used any of the companies that you can buy the antigen test in the UK and take away with you, then do the 'video' test when you are there? Trying to find options for the new pre departure test. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what the point of that post is. Anyone, whether left, wishy washy liberal, right, Genghis Khan, Nationalist or Unionist, who fakes a test result is an utter cnut. I argued against LFTs for access quite a while ago, and my opinion hasn't really changed. Not entirely sure about how to deal with the cases of those who can't be vaccinated, but the refuseniks can eff off. Result fakers? Scum. My perusal of these boards over the months doesn't exactly fill me with confidence. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt that will need need restrictions in the medium term but it will just become unacceptable. You didn't answer the question so I'll repeat it. There will always be people that can't get vaccinated. What trigger or threshold will we be able to bin face masks, constant testing, travel restrictions etc. or are you just accepting that this is life forever more to protect people that can't get vaccinated? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well accepting that if you are unwell or symptomatic you shouldn't go to a public event and even if you are fully vaxed you don't want to get Covid, I'd want the NHS to be in a better position, I'd want case numbers and hospitals numbers to be lower. Probably/hopefully in early spring. I'm not going to give you a date. -6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Restrictions in theory were all about protecting the NHS. You have no clue what it is you're actually seeking and that's the real issue here. You're basically defending the government position but have no idea what the endgame is or even could be. What you're hinting at is basically what looks to be the government position of spring. NHS under pressure (as it is every winter) so we can't ease up on restrictions. Lets say we bin restrictions in the spring. Do we fire them back in next winter, you know, just in case? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
