Elixir Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 1 hour ago, Burnieman said: 1 hour ago, Elixir said: I'd be willing to bet that come June/July, things will be a lot closer to normal here than they are in New Zealand and Australia... Not sure about that, it's pretty much normal in Australia already, and they forecast completing their vaccination programme by October at which point they'll look at opening borders. Even if their vaccination program goes to schedule, they will still have to reach very high coverage across the population, indeed higher than places like Europe or North America which will have a lot of overlapping immunity via natural infection. Any community transmission which leaks through in autumn and winter before this is achieved is likely to lead to more prolonged shutdowns. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elixir Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Get them fired straight into Covax where they will be widely welcomed as clearly continental Europeans largely want nothing to do with it. What an absolute shambles has been worked on this by Macron, Merkel, and others. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mordecai Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 I've to go to the Louisa Jordan next week, anyone know what the deal is with car parking?Park in the multi storey nearby, you'll be directed to what level you've to park on (level 2 is probably the easiest as that's where the walkway is). There's no charge at the minute, all the barriers are permanently raised. There was plenty of space when I was there earlier this month. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair play to the ones who dont have total arseholes for employers, they might get what they want. It probably wont be a majority though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purely anecdotal evidence here but at my workplace the majority of staff don’t like working from home & certainly don’t want to do it 5 days a week permanently, most would accept blended tho 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I absolutely hate the working from home environment and really struggle mentally to have a disconnect from work each weekday. Obviously lucky to have the opportunity to still be working but long term I want to be back in the office.

Wee Bully Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 3.1% test positivity today, 525 cases. It’s getting there.Really positive numbers again today, on all measures. ICU is half what is was a month ago, hospitalisation numbers even better. Proportionately, the age of new hospital admissions is dropping too which indicates vaccinations are having an effect and it’s not just lockdown. The next 2 weeks should see the impact of the 60,000 vaccinations a day we were doing a few weeks ago, and we will be in a very different place. Death rate crashing down too. All in all, it’s almost unremitting good news. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
