Would be surprised to see that disappear entirely. Does that mean gone are the days of packed bars/pubs for the next few years? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah. It will start with social interactions but the weight of that will help to get businesses open too hopefully. I'm the 3xqct same as you though, if we reach the point where they are Simultaneously crowing that all the vulnerable are vaccinated yet still telling me who I can have in my house then they can GTF. I will tell my friends and family that I am more than happy to socialise with them indoors and if they see the risk as acceptable thats what we will do. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because other than picking a magical 0.0 R rate, that's not happening. Seems a lot UK wide. But could easily be done in Scotland within a couple of weeks. Have a week's grace either way of a very low number for everything not indoors going back to normal. And everything else back, for the end of vaccinations. Providing it progresses at a good pace. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mask wearing does bother me. Not when i'm in a supermarket or on a train etc, but when i'm at work. They are ok for short term use, but simply aren't comfortable to wear for circa 8 hours per day. I don't believe anyone who is required to wear one for the whole time they are at work would advocate them hanging around.

I hope not too but I don’t see how they could ensure face coverings etc but allow ‘normality’ in hospitality settings.

Might have misunderstood but if we are talking about being at the point of low hospitalisations and ICU rates and they are still not opening hospitality with no restrictions except possibly mask wearing then I don’t see that as remotely acceptable. Social distancing still being in place when the virus is reduced to very minor (or more likely none at all) symptoms for 99% of people who get it is ludicrous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee Bully Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 There seems to be a lot of heat on here today about something that has no chance of happening. We will start to open up once we have vaccinated the vulnerable and we will be back to near normality by the end of the summer. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re probably right, but I think it’s perfectly understandable to get annoyed at a government adviser effectively advocating that we lock ourselves in and rip the arse out of everything until it’s completely eradicated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
