I remember hearing things like that about Spring. Just in time for respiratory virus season, fantastic! 7 minutes ago, Billy Jean King said: Sarwar "testing and a robust isolation policy will be vital going forward if we want to return to any sort of reality" If we keep isolation even after vaccination there will never be any sort of "normality" People are not going to comply post-vaccination. There is clear evidence that this is already happening among auld biddies. Edited March 12, 2021 by Elixir 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Jean King Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Case numbers may well need to be binned. However there is no doubt ours are rising now while the other nations are still falling. Even Norden Oirlan has now overtaken us.We could be about to enter a wash, rinse, repeat cycle. The more folk get vaccinated the more people start to bend the rules thus numbers of cases stop falling or even rise slightly. As number stop falling, the measures stay in place longer and the more people become disenfranchised and hence the more they bend the rules but all the time becoming more and more frustrated as measures can't / won't be lifted. That will be a nightmare scenario. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inanimate Carbon Rod Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Get these fuckers in the bin, there’s no grounds for restrictions if there isnt pressure on the NHS and the vaccines are working. This is absolutely governmental overreach now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Norden Oirlan has now overtaken us.There's a direct correlation between case numbers and hospital numbers 2/3 weeks later. One goes up, so does the other. Early warning etc.However, that was pre-vaccine. We're seeing hospital numbers drop at a rapid rate, ICU numbers also dropping, whilst the daily numbers show a slight rise for a few days. They'll settle back down again.Nothing to see here really, positivity percentage remains low and we're about to ramp upto warp speed again on jagging.Carry on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose a rise in cases is a good test for the prevention of hospitalization. Should prove to the powers that be that it's all a bit irrelevant. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite amazing that a journalist didn't ask something that is blatantly obvious. The one who asked about whether they were making sure there were vaccines being kept back for second doses 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMDP Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Off to get my injection in a couple of hours. Spain not using the AstraZeneca on over 55s now means they are firing it into all of us who work in schools. Life has a certain normality about it here - still have to wear masks and no large gatherings but can go for pints, meals, etc until 11pm and schools have been in full time since September. Grim reading seeing some people using job titles as an insult, btw. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scosha Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Deeply worrying comments from Leitch about cases. It shouldn’t be a problem, but the fact they’re already talking about needing a reverse gear for the tiers is dreadful chat. I just can’t get my head around what they’re trying to achieve. All along it was protect the NHS and save lives, the vaccine is now doing that. Life will literally be like this forever if they base restrictions on case levels. Even if they were to go after ‘elimination’, there’s heehaw chance of that happening as soon as the infection factories are open. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's inevitably going to be more cases in schools etc with the LFT's taking place. The only number that counts is deaths rate and nobody has got the balls to come out and say what's acceptable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted March 12, 2021 Author Share Posted March 12, 2021 . Good news on vaccine hesitancy - it basically doesn’t exist in the UK. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
