Looks like there probably won't be any real changes for at least 2 weeks
This obsession with Wales largest pub being open in February.
If they do open it then ban the sale of booze.
Thousands of pissed up people queing at bars vomiting throwing beer about isnt the best thing after restrictions.
I'd be interested to see how many fewer people would buy tickets if you couldn't buy booze insideQuote:

Also where the higher death rates are and where. Care Homes , poorer more built up areas.?
2nd day of decrease in infection rate.

Unvaccinated in Intensive Care
This is exactly the kind of data that's relevant. The media's obsession with numbers of +ve cases stems from the early days of the pandemic.Quote:

If I’m being thick then I apologise.
What I see here is that Wales’ hospitalisations per million were well below England’s, then the Boxing Day restrictions came in and they’ve gone up ever since.
Now England is going down and Wales is going up.
Another significant drop.

Time for crowds back. I really dont see the justification on us playing behind closed doors.
Nevermind that people are losing their livliehoods and businesses, the cases that have a mortality rate of 0.3% are dropping.
Yay.

Not holding out much hope reading this.
The obsession of the 6 Nations as well.
Why dont the journalists ask about the games we have before then. Obsession with the commencement of the annual 2 month piss up.
There never was any.Quote:

Well said this man. My daughter hasnt had a shift since before Xmas in the pub she works. Luckily its just a part time job for her alongside her studies and she doesnt have bills to pay, plus im in a position to give her some of the money shes missing out on, but what about the hospitality workers with bills to pay? mouths to feed? Heartbreaking.
Ooooooh a brave Labour MP
A WELSH Labour MS has said unvaccinated people should be denied access to events and venues when current Covid restrictions are lifted.
Alun Davies has said those rejecting the assistance of vaccination should face consequences of their decision.
The Member of Senedd for Blaenau Gwent shared a news story about the introduction of tougher restrictions on the unvaccinated in Italy and said he would like to see similar measures in Wales.
He told his more than 11,000 Twitter followers: “I hope that the Welsh Govt will use our covid passes in this way to reduce regulations when the time is right for everyone who is fully vaccinated.”
The headline of the news story he shared read: “Unvaccinated people banned from public transport, coffee shops and gyms in Italy.”
Will he backing Ikeas decision to cut sick pay for unvaccinated staff who need to self-isolate because of Covid and in some cases for workers who test positive.
Fair points. No crowds or moving the games would have a huge impact particularly hospitality , hotels and other accommodation.Quote:

The answer that they cant even guarantee that doesn't look good for all those wanting to watch live sport before February and the businesses affected by the current restrictions.
I think its highly likely that crowds will be back for the 6 Nations anyway.
There was.Quote:

Drakeford: "We'll look to relax Covid restrictions next week if Omicron wave peaks in Wales"
Dictating what people can or can't do due to a PERSONAL CHOICE they've made. Dangerous and downright disgusting.Quote:

Their choice though!
Maybe I'm just not a libertarian?
Seems like an important study.

Feel a Phil Collins song coming on :
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh lord
And I've been waiting for this moment, for all my life, oh lord
Can you not feel covid in the air tonight, oh lord, oh lord
That personal choice could impact on other people, that’s dangerous and downright disgusting. Selfish people who should be facing the consequences of their personal choice.Quote:

I’m playing the odds, I don’t want it regardless of my vaccination status, I reckon I’ve more chance of catching it from someone who’s unprotected. I want to be in a pub/football ground/ shop etc knowing that all the people there are vaccinated. Same as when driving, I’d like to think my fellow road users have passed a test and are legal. Also if, as you say, even though I’m vaccinated and boosted I could still catch it I would be horrified if I unknowingly passed it on to an anti vaxxer who, through catching it off me, paid the ultimate price.Quote:

Replicated around the country im sure. I was watching Question Time they other day Lisa Nandy and the audience absolutely leathered the utterly useless Tory MP. Audience members actually clapped Nandy laughed at the Tory clown at one stage. Audience members when questioned ridiculed him praised Nandy but several said they were no Labour voters.
Weve no chance. Poor Boris difficult times blah blah blah.
Boris Johnston during PMQ today: has finally admitted that he was involved in the infamous garden party in May 2020 and apologises but says he didn't realise that it was a party and we must wait for the official inquiry report. You couldn't make it up.
Three port workers in Dalian, China have been sentenced to nearly five years in prison for not wearing masks and protective clothing while handling cargo.
