Must be tough for some of these now-household names to know that every jab in every arm means that their days in the centre are ebbing away. Same can be said for a few uber contributors to this thread. Edited March 23, 2021 by jimbaxters 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought "oh, here we go", but he then started talking about that sort of stuff in three months and more wide loosening in the autumn (I can't remember the exact details but that was what I took from it). While this is very welcome, it has always been the reality that even with the EU's painfully slow vaccine rollout, come June/July, all metrics will be in the places everybody wants them to be. This then buys months for the vaccine rollout to continue, hopefully speeding up, and for boosters to arrive in time for autumn and winter if need be. Some of the rhetoric and open-ended language failing to recognise this, admittedly not just from Leitch, is what is so damaging. I also hope that comments regarding 'more widespread loosening in the autumn' isn't just kicking the can down the road, as this will be the return of respiratory virus season, and with that comes the potential for beds to be shat all over again. Nonetheless, I hope this is indeed the slow road to more pragmatism and realism as the vaccine rollout continues here and abroad, rather than constant flip-flopping about what may or may not be 'possible'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who posts on any thread on any forum takes some degree of pleasure from it or they wouldn't be doing it. Add to that the propensity to insult anyone who moves with words like "clownshoe" then you'll take my point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thereisalight.. Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Maybe I’m just being cynical but I’ve got a bad feeling that with “variants!!!/European third wave!!!/vaccine shortages!!!” our governments will shit the be and go back on the time frames for easing restrictions.

I can't speak for others, but I keep up with this thread because it's quite a handy way of having coronavirus news (good and bad) condensed into a digestible format that I can take in. Trying to wade through the millions of articles that have been written in the last twelve months, what one expert thinks against another, would be a sensory overload. In terms of contributing with my own thoughts from time to time, I think it's quite a healthy way to release frustrations one may have with the current state of affairs. That's what leads to the "ha ha i cant wait for the heads gone!!" posts when Sturgeon is set to make another non-committal announcement that reminds us we're lucky to be able to sit in the park for more than half an hour. Speaking personally, there's only so many times I can message my pals and invite them to skewer what some SAGE c**t has said. People are rightly sick of coronavirus being the dominant topic of conversation with their mates, this thread is quite a handy way of avoiding a real life burnout from Covid discussion. ETA: Simply put, as MixuFruit (RIP) and his Audit confirmed, I used to use this site almost entirely to discuss Scottish football. Nobody would be happier than me for that to return. The second this is done I can kiss GN goodbye and go back to winding up Saintees. Edited March 23, 2021 by HibsFan 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
