Even the Germans admit they expect it to take them until 2022. We don't have to vaccinate 50 million people before returning to normal, not even remotely. Because the infection is in fact harmless for the vast majority of the population. It should be a straightforward trade-off between the costs of trashing the economy and people's liberties every day and the social costs of serious infections/deaths. Once you vaccinate health care workers so there is no impact on front line staffing and the coffin dodgers who account for the overwhelming majority of deaths, the second part of that equation collapses in value. The costs of lockdowns stay the same and so they belong in the bin. If people choose to continue shielding until they get a vaccine then they should be free to do so. The current restrictions should be lifted though. If that means that a handful 50 year old fatties get an unlucky break before their vaccine arrives then that's just tough luck.

If we do or don’t move tiers when is the next pre xmas / pre new year reviews ?? I believe (hope) all areas in tier 4 will be at least moved back to tier 3 on the 11th. Although nothing would surprise me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grim. Woman I work with, lost her father-in-law a few weeks ago. 59, fit as a flea, no underlying health issues. Stuck in the house until the 15th after Mrs LH Developed symptoms on Wednesday morning. To be fair though, we got a test booked for that afternoon and the result on Thursday night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you both , it's particularly tough as before he went in he had just finished doing about 1000 miles cycling in 3 months, I heard he was on a ventilator and didn't hear much after that to hoped that he was fighting away and winning, sadly it wasn't to be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westminster might as well steal their oil now Scotland's is seemingly running out, expensive pints will reduce alcohol consumption in line with Scottish Government pricing, we'd do better in the Eurovision Song Contest and Winter Olympics and we might get some blonde wids settling here 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought you steered clear of this thread? Think the levels get reviewed weekly on Tuesdays. If the OxfordAZ vaccine gets approved by MHRA next week access to Newtown Park might not be that far off given the Falkirk LA area already has relatively low rates on COVID cases. Although people talk about it only having 70% effectiveness, nobody in the trials got severe COVID symptoms after receiving the OxfordAZ vaccine, and it would be much easier to ramp up the rate of vaccinations with both OxfordAZ and Pfizer available in a UK context. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the snudge Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 Is anyone else collecting covid related materials as a future investment? Like the pamphlets from the government etc? I've a government issued covid test unopened just to see if it has any value in the future. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
