out of interest, what do you lot think about the vacinne? many different opions about it online...

In what way? Vaccination against diseases is a good thing. Universal free education is a good thing. Offering universal vaccination is a good thing. Allowing our educated people to choose to have it or not is a good thing. Compelling people to have it is a bad thing. I'd expect most people will have the jabs.

With test & trace if we have 100,000 cases a day & on average 10 close contacts are contacted to isolate for 10 days we can expect 1m a day to be told to go into isolation, who needs a lockdown!

Yup, watched Wimbledon, one mask for every 50.000. # 4th wave, here we come.
Civil liberties have hardly been affected over the last few months. Numpties can still go on UK holidays, watch fudgeing sport, go to the pub ( albeit not visit the bar :rolleyes: ) go to the beach, wander about the countryside, buy food.
Fed up of hearing about Portugal, sporting events, hospitality industry. FFS. Folks are still dying.

Yeh there still dying of preventable diseases and conditions. Its never going away we just have to live with. We never used to batten down the hatches in flu season.

Vaccinated are going to be exempt from quarantine .

Even the bbc have seen some sense

Time to think differently about Covid

For more than a year, personal freedoms have been curtailed to keep Covid at bay.
That looks likely to change, with ministers proposing to lift many of the remaining restrictions in England on 19 July. The details, set out on Monday, have sparked intense debate.
But what is unarguable is that the nature of the pandemic in the UK has changed - and with it so should many of our assumptions.
The rollout of the vaccination programme has altered everything, reducing both the individual risk and the wider one to the health system.
Back in January, about one in 10 infections could be expected to translate into a hospital admission 10 days later. Now that figure appears to be somewhere between one in 40 and one in 50.
What is more, those ending up in hospital seem to be less sick, and need less intensive treatment.
The risk of death, as a result, has reduced even further. In January about one in 60 cases resulted in someone dying. Today it's fewer than one in 1,000.

That's the way most viruses work. What is the point in killing all their hosts? Nothing much to do with jabs IMHO. Just the way it goes.

You have to ask why would the government go to all the expense to have already set up more than 80 long COVID centres for something that some people says does not really exist, I have a feeling the time may soon come when many more of these service centres may be needed in the future!

Its kicked off big time in local village. Far more cases than at any point during pandemic. Spreading among vaccinated and unvaccinated people. Keeping the head down to see if it blows over

Brora/ Golspie/ Lairg or thereabouts, I presume from your previous posts. Is it linked to NC500 traffic or something else ? (football fans returning is the case in Nairn, I'm old).
