Weakened Offender Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 (edited) 11 minutes ago, Brian Dundas said: There is element of luck in the Vaccine procurement though, did you back the right horse? Also Brexit and the whole process may have influenced who backed which ones. Would it have looked different if we were still in the EU? I think we have definitely benefitted on being out of the EU for Vaccines, but it could easily have gone the other way. The UK Government has also been lucky and benefited from tens of thousands of people who would have been in line for the vaccination dying each month due to its utter incompetence.

I’ve seen drivers reuse people on the bus if their bus pass has expired They probably aren't doing that either just now. They're at high risk in that drivers seat on the bus. If it was me people could be walking on whether they paid a fare or not, and with or without a mask. A bus drivers are going to see a lot of people in a day and you can guarantee that all the radge's will be amongst those not wearing a mask. They'd only be confronting the confrontational.

Adam_the_legend Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 The list of failings of the government during covid is extensive, ridiculous actually, but their vaccine procurement and distribution performance can’t really be criticised. They pre-ordered half a dozen vaccines to give the best chance of getting the first working vaccine. The brexit component is interesting as well but you can’t really argue (though I’m sure some will try) that not being part of the EU’s procurement framework has meant a quicker rollout in the U.K. I’m just thankful there is someone somewhere in that government that’s not completely incompetent.

Taffin Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 44 minutes ago, Jambo-Jimbo said: The only people I've seen without face masks in shops are young people, teens/20's, all of the older ones are wearing masks, although sometimes it's not covering their nose, but at least they've made the effort unlike some who don't give a feck about anybody else. Yes, but Jambo 4 Ever is saying if you have an exemption you still shouldn't be allowed in, and should instead use the internet. I don't agree with him but not due to people not having internet access. What age group those people are in is neither here, nor there really. Sorry, I assumed you'd read his posts when you picked him up about internet saturation levels. Incidentally, I've seen people of all ages not wearing masks in the supermarket. Younger people either seem to do it, it not at all. Along with no masks, I've seen older people holding hankies and the like up to their face as if that's going to do anything but it is the right side of the rules I guess as it just stipulates a face covering not how it's attached or what material etc it's made out of.

There might be reasons for this, but it is not unreasonable to ask the question. Totally agree. I should’ve been clearer - I was referring to the U.K. government, not the Scottish gov.

Jambo-Jimbo Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 1 hour ago, Taffin said: Yes, but Jambo 4 Ever is saying if you have an exemption you still shouldn't be allowed in, and should instead use the internet. I don't agree with him but not due to people not having internet access. What age group those people are in is neither here, nor there really. Sorry, I assumed you'd read his posts when you picked him up about internet saturation levels. Incidentally, I've seen people of all ages not wearing masks in the supermarket. Younger people either seem to do it, it not at all. Along with no masks, I've seen older people holding hankies and the like up to their face as if that's going to do anything but it is the right side of the rules I guess as it just stipulates a face covering not how it's attached or what material etc it's made out of. And neither do I agree with him because there are some people who will be genuinely exempt, and whilst it's easy to say well do online shopping or get someone else to do their shopping for them, that won't always be an option for some people, albeit a small minority but there will still be some people who don't have this choice.
