Vulnerable who may become seriously ill with it ( unusually very old people) whereas the covid is overreaching to everyone , even if they have little to no chance of croaking it ( ie 99 % of the population ) it is far more potent and has more side effects then the flu , the only reason Govts want all people to take is for herd immunity .

Francis Albert Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 3 hours ago, Nucky Thompson said: Do the looney left local councils make the rules? Berwick upon tweed isn't like that in the pubs Our council is as far from looney left as you can get. Yet within the borough different rules seem to apply (or at least are applied differently) in different locations, presumably down to individual council officials. So during the outdoors only dining phase one restaurant was told to close its outdoor dining area because of an awning projecting from the building while less than a mile away restaurants could operate not just with awnings but garden structures with wall on three sides and other more enclosed spaces. Different pub chains and individual landlords will apply the rules or guidelines or whatever they are in different ways and with differing levels of strictness. Yesterday we went through the whole NHS App sign in, mask on until table reached rigmarole while greeted by a staff member giving us our orders with mask covering only her chin which stayed there while she took orders and served us. Presumably to make things easier for the staff in a large largely empty room customers were placed together in adjacent tables in one corner. A toddler at the next table was allowed to run around the pub while the women she was with ran around after her. Covid rates here have been vanishingly small for many weeks so I wasn't bothered from a safety point of view, but would have like to choose a quieter table. We will be controlled for the foreseeable future. Once granted powers are not easily relinquished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they continue to undermine the impact of the vaccine with ifs, buts and maybes of it not working and threatening to stop opening up, then as you say, why get the vaccine?!? The thing is though, it does, quite evidently, work. So let's get everyone vaccinated, stop the media fuelling the KBB with fear and get rid of restrictions.

Don't let some panic merchant put you off getting your second, besides you can rest assured that there will always be somebody somewhere pressing the panic button for some reason or another. I see the vaccines as the best way to get back to something like normal as soon as we can, the more people vaccinated the less excuse there is to hold things back.

Brighton Jambo Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Look at this stat: The overall mortality rate was 851.2 deaths per 100,000 people in England and 920.0 deaths per 100,000 people in Wales - both the lowest mortality rate for the month of April since the ONS data time series began in 2001. Just goes to re-emphasise how much this is currently being overhyped. Absolutely no requirement to walk back the easing of restrictions- none .

So basically the positivity rate is exactly as it has been for the last couple of months. All that is happening is we are testing more and finding more cases as a result not least because that testing is focused on hotspot areas.
