MP_MFC Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Not logged on for a while. The last few pages feels like screaming into the void by people who can’t read beyond a headline. If you think that booking a non-refundable holiday for this summer is a good idea, launch right ahead. I want a holiday too, but I might just go for the refundable option, just in case. My favourite is the guy going to Spain and not telling anyone as he wouldn't be quarantining.Not as if there would be flight records, bookings and passport scans that would show entry and exit that they could use to check up on any travel if they deemed it necessary. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No c**t is checking up on folk m9. They weren't in summer by their own admission. Not telling anyone means my work wouldnt be able to treat me to 10 days unpaid leave. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If things aren't significantly better, at least in Europe, when vulnerable groups are vaccinated and it's summer, then what is the point? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has shown that we need massive investment in healthcare, more doctors, more nurses, more research. Healthy population = less crime, less poverty, less days at work missed? Why dont the dickhead tories get it? Absolutely f**k the tories. Anyone who votes tory is a p***k, anyone, zero redeeming factors, vote tory = p***k. When were the previous times that the NHS had its funding cut? Why did the dickhead SNP increase NHS funding less than the dickhead Tories?

Also good luck trying to get things back to normal when you have 5 million people nearly a 3rd unvaccinated living in unsanitary conditions with regular visits from Israeli troops. It will be good to see just how much protection the vaccine gives you as troops going in and out of the camps will be exposed to the virus. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post HibsFan Posted January 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 21, 2021 (edited) I think it’s really important, going back to the discussion of a couple pages ago that I can’t be bothered quoting, that when the hopeful progression down the tiers comes this spring and/or summer, we don’t settle for tier 2 or 3 as if they’re a great compromise that we should be grateful for. If you were to wake up, forget this last year had happened and find out those restrictions, you’d be utterly horrified by them and how everyone’s happily gone along with it. Now, we all (give or take) agree that they were a necessary sacrifice to be made in a pandemic without a vaccine context, but now we have a vaccine that will - hopefully by the end of spring - have seen all of our vulnerable and elderly citizens protected, there should be absolutely no accepting of tier 1, 2 or 3 as any kind of new normal. Phrases like “post-COVID life” are giving me the absolute fucking fear at the minute, I won’t lie. It’s made me, a lifelong socialist, resort to the hope that rampant capitalism’s going to go “f**k your health concerns we’re back with a bang”, reopen every airline, business and entertainment venue, and kick these zero Covid weirdos into the long grass, where they rightly belong. The tiers are a means to an end, and that end is normal life (February 2020 style) returning to us ASAP. They are not the new normal and none of us should accept them as so beyond this summer at the very latest.

You have lost me a bit. We will be as safe as we can be once everyone over 18 has been vaccinated is what I'm saying. After that it requires us paying heed to how the virus behaves. Can't really see any other way to deal with it once we reach that stage. I was more meaning the idea that until the bulk of the world is vaccinated we are still all at risk to some extent. In other words, we may be an Island but no man is an island. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
