Coronavirus update - NO MORE RESTRICTIONS

[the other bob wilson]

Re: Coronavirus update

I very much doubt they will operate close to normal when there is a vaccine for the most vulnerable. Any vaccine is very unlikely to guarantee protection.

I doubt they will even vaccinate the entire population.

The likeliest is the most vulnerable and key workers are going to need regular vaccinations. I just cant see say the under 30s with no underlying health conditions being regularly being vaccinated for something that is unlikely to affect them.

The only way the entire population gets vaccinated if something comes along where one jab near 100 percent protects you for life and thats not going to happen.

Normal or near normal will probably be when we come to an acceptable point we can control and live with it.

Although I'd have usually had it by now and still haven't heard anything about having one this year yet, I've had a flu vaccination annually for close to a decade and I can definitely say that I don't give the flu a second thought after having had my yearly jab. My attitude towards Covid would change greatly if I was able to have the same sort of thing every year - I'm certainly not expecting any vaccine to be a case of have one and then you have protection for life, but I'm sure it would lead to a great deal more peace of mind for those of state pension age who aren't in the anti vaxxer camp.

Once the most vulnerable have protection, there is less urgency to vaccinate those who, statistically, are very unlikely to have serious, life threatening, symptoms and so those of, say, thirty and under who must be hating all of the restrictions to their lives which aren't really necessary on a personal level, will be able to get on with their lives again.

Agree with most of that.

On a side im hearing from a local business who have been given a nudge pubs will shut 6pm next Friday and reopen Monday 9th November. So knocking 3 weekends of drinking out.

The supermarkets will be like Christmas then this week with people loading up.

Re: Coronavirus update

The priority list for getting the COVID jab when available is as follows:

Older adults' resident in a care home and care home workers
All those 80 years of age and over and health and social care workers
All those 75 years of age and over
All those 70 years of age and over
All those 65 years of age and over
High-risk adults under 65 years of age
Moderate-risk adults under 65 years of age
All those 60 years of age and over
All those 55 years of age and over
All those 50 years of age and over
Rest of the population (priority to be determined)

It seems those most responsible for spreading the virus - students and the late night partiers in City Centres - don't even make the list.

Yeah most are dead quiet anyway. I went inside (been to a few outside over the summer) a pub In Cardiff for the first time Since March last night, The Albany in Roath, quite a shock to see it how it was, most tables taken but so few tables there can’t have been more than 30/40 in the whole place. Surely that’s not viable....

And then getting pissed in each other's houses where they're more likely to spread the disease. Whoever is making up these rules has no idea how people behave in the real world.
