Social distancing

[rapscallion]

Start reopening everything.

If the most vulnerable have been vaccinated there’s no reason not to.

We can’t keep pushing back. This isn’t a life.

And with no social safety measures on a sliding scale you say. That's a lot bonkers.

 

[Ciro_DiMarzio]

Doesn't work like that, things start to open in March, likely the tier situation. and then back to full normal by end of May. It's a slow process.but I think folk will go along with it on this time line.

Absolutely no chance of full normal by the end of May.

There is significant talk that the differing tier system on a local and regional level is going in the bin.

I hope so. It was a crap idea from the start.

Well what will you do?

Your deadline was the end of March a few weeks ago. Why have you moved it to May?

So that he can always have his hard deadline for when he isn't actually going to do anything far enough ahead that he can keep spouting his wind and pittle

 

[Ciro_DiMarzio]

It’s funny but I could swear your original “deadline” was March...it’s almost as tho you’re really just doing what you’re told.

Aye he did have a March deadline. He had a deadline for some point last year as well.

Once the vulnerable have been vaccinated, compliance with the rules will decrease hugely imo.

Our lasses Gran has had her first vaccine and now wants to break the rules. There will be plenty old folk in the same boat.

My neighbour was vaccinated a couple of weeks ago mate and his house is now like a social club

I can understand their point of view like. Our lasses Gran is in her 90s and could go at anytime so feels like she is wasting precious time. Tough situation.

Canny gift, she’s fine but could kill one of her family members.

The only vunerable family member she has is our lasses mam who is diabetic but she already has to see her anyway.

Agreed mate. The fella next to me has been locked away for a nearly a year and now just wants to see his family. As the vaccinations continue, you will see more and more families meeting up

Grandma is vaccinated - but Grandmas can still spread.

Grandma decides to see family and passes virus on to little Johnny.

Little Johnny is asymptomatic.

Little Johnny passed virus to Little Bryan.

Little Bryan passses disease on to his obese, 45 year old Dad.

Little Bryan is an orphan because Grandma decided she was fine and didn't need the rules anymore.

Not difficult to explain or understand - in short, nobody is safe until everybody is.

We are never ever going to get to a point where everybody is safe. Bryan's obese dad should have used the last year to lose some weight to give himself a better chance if our lasses Gran gives him Covid.

100% 22 days after my grandparents are vaccinated I’m going round and don’t give a damn if it’s against the rules.

We will reach a point where the risk is reduced for everybody, not just the first couple of at risk groups.

Bryan's Dad has done nothing wrong - he's right to be fat is actually greater than Grandmas right to break the law.

I would Agree with this , economy has to be almost fully open come mid September or large numbers (not just few) of younger people will rebel , can’t just go on and on

Even though you could catch it from them and spread it? Cheers for that.

That’s not a given as it’s not known. Restrictions will be lifted before everyone has been vaccinated so do you suggest Grandma sees no one until the full country is vaccinated?

No, I'm saying grandma doesn't see anybody until we're told by the scientists it's safe to do so.

Don’t go hardly anywhere else to spread it. I’ve sacrificed too much for too long, If that means I’m made of less sterner stuff than people who want this go on till the autumn and beyond then so be it.

It’s an unsustainable position.
