Ron Aldo Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 We've been screaming at him for not providing dates so we can get a feel for when restrictions might be relaxed. Now he's giving dates and you want to scream about it not being data driven. I'm not defending Leitch here but he can't win with some folk.Whos screaming?I'm only pointing out that the SG initially made a point of saying easing restrictions would be based on data. All the data looks excellent but relaxations are now being based on specific dates. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took those dates as an outline based on where they expect the data to be at that time, but if the data is good they can open up faster, as has happened this week. I would agree that I'd like to see it a bit more accelerated though, I reckon in 3-4 weeks we'll have about as close to elimination of the virus as you can get. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course snooker/ pool is a contact sport. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or at least fucking lighten up. I was just thinking the same. We get a new HG thread, and this one suddenly blows up.

Michael W Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Johnson yesterday, Trudeau today. Both added to the increasing list of world leaders encouraging their populations to get vaccinated whilst undermining the programme with their words. The brass neck of them to complain if people start deciding they don't want to get vaccinated because they feel there's no point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

super_carson Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 What [emoji23]? What third wave is he on about? Also, restrictions are currently in place but are being eased as the vaccination roll out continues. It does seem alarming that governments are agitated to keep lockdowns and restrictions in place despite vaccinations. Is it reflection of traumatised public opinion, or are governments scared to make a decision now? Get the swiss cheese model in the bin by the way. Patronising shite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a lot of folk on here forget that the users of P&B are not a particularly diverse cross-section of society. There have been various polls, taken from far more representative samples, that show an overwhelming support of measures to keep restrictions in place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far too many people are either too scared (due to constant fear mongering from media and public health advisors) or comfortable with lockdown (furlough, working from home etc. and all the advantages that brings) for there to be any mass protests. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you're not suggesting otherwise but polling data should be nowhere near the data involved in making decisions regarding covid restrictions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elixir Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 They still have to fit in this nonsense: Quote Is the UK close to herd immunity? The UK is likely to be a way off this milestone - if it is ever reached. Again, herd immunity is not something that can be argued with, it is simply an inevitable natural phenomenon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
