Dons_1988 Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 I have to fly to visit my in laws over Xmas. They want us to take a test before the flight and after when we arrive just in case we caught it on the plane. Also want us to wear masks in the car home until the 2nd negative test comes back. Absolutely mental and shows what 2 years of scaremongering has done to people. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone I know was that scared I wouldn’t be bothering to visit them. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn’t see them at all from December 19 to may this year when coincidentally our daughter was born. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm expecting them to announce something, but I also hope it is no more than vaccine passports for all enclosed public areas (except shops and churches, of course). I also expect them to require third doses if you are eligible (the app recently updated to be able to hold that info). That way they can be seen to be doing something and can keep the flow of boosters (which clearly work) going. It's also what they have been choking to do for ages. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenneth840 Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 No more restrictions. Repeal the emergency covid regulations. The economy has to keep going. Fund the NHS, prepare them for the future. For the next pandemic instead of this cutting budget shite then awarding billions to our mates. Prepare now, open the economy fully. Get taxes in now and spend them in preparation. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elixir Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 4 hours ago, Todd_is_God said: Spot on. If they want to incentivise third shots now, then they can't close anything. There needs to be a gain from getting the jag. I can see them maybe going down the 2G route like Germany for absolutely everything. 2G+ for large events would be a faff (and largely pointless), but that is there too if they want to leave wriggle room. That way they don't close anything, and they aren't wrecking the vaccine rollout. The irony being this would do literally nothing to impact pressure on hospitals compared to if they had just kept society open as normal.

pozbaird Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Baldy speccy tube alert. No502 in a never ending series.

Empty It Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 This may have been mentioned, apologies if it has, but has there been any announcement re finiancial assistance for anyone self employed or in the gig economy on account of needless 10 day isolation? Bad enough not getting paid if you're ill but sitting in the house when perfectly healthy and not being able to make money will be a bitter pill, not everyone is on a salary or able to work from home. Pretty sure the new isolation rules are advisory as opposed to law so if you test negative after a contact carry on as usual as far as I'm concerned. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody is listening to you Nicky. The only very slight fear I have about this, is that it becomes justification for extra restrictions. Along the line of “look we asked you, but you didn’t listen, so now we have to force you.” Edited December 11, 2021 by Abdul_Latif 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Play Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 There are around 10,000 smoking related deaths in Scotland each year and around 33,500 hospital admissions each year that are related to smoking. Anyone got any idea the equivalent figures in Scotland are for Covid? Given the restrictions that have taken place to date I’m assuming Covid stats must be at least ten times the figures for smoking? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inanimate Carbon Rod Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Just been chastised by someone on twitter for calling the omicron variant the sniffles. ‘I take it you’ll refuse medical care if you get it’. Has anyone with omicron needed medical care? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
