Gemmill 44557 Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Nice one cheers Rents. Further context to all of this is that my lass is very much of the opinion that she works with unmasked kids all week, so the idea that she would then not go for a meal on a weekend with people thst she also works with makes no sense to her. Which I get. BUT WHAT ABOUT ME?! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 21868 Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 got tickets to a west end show next week and am on the brink of sacking it off (no refund unless you prove you have covid, which we may well have by then). not really sure what to do. kids will be gutted to miss it, but parents will be gutted to miss seeing the kids over christmas. but then there's a feeing of inevitability about contracting it now the way cases are surging down here. it's pretty obvious that government should just close hospitality for a month or so while cases are surging, but they clearly don't want to provide any more financial aid. it feels like they really are going for herd immunity this time and crossing their fingers that the vaccine does enough to stop the nhs completely drowning.

NJS 4375 Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 The stupidity of herd immunity in the face of new variants is obvious - even if they'd achieved it with delta we'd still be fucked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just lie and tell the kids the show isn't happening anymore because of covid. Are they old enough to prove you a liar? I'm on the fence about going to a restaurant where I'll be relatively will insulated from other groups, but I absolutely definitely wouldn't be going to a theatre packed with thousands.

Rayvin 5189 Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 So are we heading back into full lockdowns and so on after Christmas? Or is the idea now that the economy is so fucked we're just going to have to deal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't afford to test positive at the moment for family reasons so basically I'm acting now like it was the first lock down, as will many others I'm sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Restrictions on licensed premises (possibly all hospitality), sports, requirements to work from home but I can't see them entirely shutting down. They'll aim to do enough to slow this without stopping it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas Tree 4711 Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 What I take from the last 24 hours is that this one is pretty much unstoppable now due how infectious it is. As of today, Witty can not say the NHS will not cope, (due to patients). More people may be admitted to hospital, but may also be discharged a lot faster and less off to ICU due to the vaccines impacts. Where it’s all going to go to shit is due to the fact the upward curve is going to be sho fast. Far too many people within every part of the economy and NHS will be off at the same time. Make sure you have your toilet rolls in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44557 Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Jeremy Vine on the radio here talking to a scientist about whether Omicron is milder, saying JV: "well it would be great if the death rate from Omicron was 0.5% because then we could just go on with our lives right?" Scientist: "well if the death rate is 0.5% we would be screwed because that's absolutely massive." JV: "well that's the same as the flu isn't it?" Scientist: "Err no it's not, no." Is it any wonder people are fucking clueless about this stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's what you want to do, then you forfeit the right to be employed by the national broadcaster. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas Tree 4711 Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 (edited) Lessons so far from having Covid. 1. you spend far longer than you should trying to work out which dirty tramp gave you it. 2. It’s a mind fuck not knowing which version you’ve got. If I survive, I liked to know I’ve had Omicron and been upgraded to the latest software.
