Why is this getting media time? It just encourages ā€˜em

3/4 of the teachers were unvaccinated (staus of #4 unclear). Its not a loss is it? When the teachers can’t even figure out what the right thing to do is you are truly f#cked.

And the decision is to postpone Spain to next year. Not that I don’t think it’s safe to go now, nor that it will necessarily be better in 2022, but unless we’re both relaxed about it, better to explore a bit more of the UK instead.

Anything that keeps them segregated from me is fine - I don’t need to spend time around these idiots.

Bloke in Subway was having a pop at me because I was wearing a mask…I asked him if he’d been vaccinated to which he replied no, and I won’t ever…

To which I replied, that is why I’m wearing a mask.

He said what to protect you from me?

No, I said, to protect you as I may be asymptomatic and be contagious and I wouldn’t want the guilt of giving it to you and you giving it to other people and they die. To be honest with your vax stance I’m happy for you to die, Darwin awards and all that…

He didn’t say a lot after that…

I’m not sure how they intend to return to normal with this strategy.

With only 17% vaccinated and so few cases, little immunity is being built up. It seems to me they’re going to be in a permanent loop of locking down every time there’s a case, unable to open up to tourism.

Unless they belatedly get on the vaccination train.

Are they particularly reliant on tourism? :thinking: But I agree with your point, it seems impossible to envisage an end stage for them, just repeated lockdowns every time anyone sneezes.

Over here it seems kids are now immune.
In the Mall on Saturday evening, nobody under 30 wore a mask.
The concert tonight no masks in the crowd (but it is outdoors) and singers going walkabout in the audience
sigh.

Even if they do 20% of those vaccinated are going to get it and a decent chunk of those over 80 are going to die

That is the inescapable facts

Six more months and their population are going to start getting the arse

Those idiots at the NHS have revised the date for my second jab and now set it to 30 Sept but telling me I can bring it forward if I like and on checking I can bring it forward to the original date they gave me on the 9th Sept. Twats.
But I also have a provisional booking for 23rd August for a walk in Jab.

YoungAdult#2 has been back from tour of SW and his student digs in Cardiff with 7 mates for just about a week.

All of them have now tested positive for Covid (& been slightly ill) except YoungAdult#2 who was doubled jabbed…

What was the vaccine status of his mates?

Dunno but not double jabbed- some may be single jabbed :man_shrugging:t3:
