We're not in China, most of us have had the vaccine and are moving on with life. Let the last few loons on here migrate to the politics forum if they have to hang around.
Time to close this now, surely.

Happy to keep it for information.

By all means keep a Covid thread going in general chat. Most of the first page (which goes back over a month)is just daily stats.
The forum has died, which is only right and natural because the singular issue it addresses has become less and less a burden on our lives.
Maybe archive it though. It could well become very significant again.

It’s interesting we have so many frequenting the forum that claim they are past covid but theyre clamming to get the subforum shut. Or clamming to ram it down peoples throats it is over. Ironic.
Imo the numbers we are seeing at present are cause for alarm. In so much as, you can only imagine what the craic is going to be in Winter come 6 months time.

You say current numbers are a cause for concern, what part of the numbers concern you?
Maybe we should open a FLU part of the forum, I mean we have had such low numbers and isolation we could be in for a hell of a time in 6 months, its as if you still dont understand how covid being endemic means the world has changed for us all, Its a fact all Respiratory infections and illnesses go up over winter, Flu can bring the NHS to its knees, what makes covid so special now it gone endemic, we should be concerned about ALL diseases not just one and make sure we have measure's in place like booster programs and early warning for a shift in the known viruses, which correct me if I am wrong, is the plan.
Or maybe we should keep a watch on the big killers in the country, you know things linked to poverty and poor diet, how many people are going to die this winter from not being able to heat there homes I wonder, how many vulnerable people are going to end up bed blocking the NHS this year due to the cost of living crisis?
This forum has served its purpose and I thank the posters who helped pass on important information, it was a great place to get up to date stats and valuable insights, even if the forum did suffer from the odd troll, but I do think its time to move on.
| UK | 25,829 | 70,418 | -63% | 377 | 355 | 1,238 | -71% | 5 | 68,551,138 |
couple of weeks ago people where all over the stat threads as we had a little bump in the downward trend, why are these same people not cheering from the roof tops that we have just seen a 71% drop in deaths?

Fact is we will see more waves as we progress then the only question is will it be a all year long thing or move to a more winter focused illness, so long as people get boosters when needed I think we will cope with covid just as well as we cope with Flu.
The obsession with closing a forum is a bit weird. Whilst it’s quieter (thank god), there are still worthwhile posts
CLOSE THE 5-a-side FORUM!!!

Does no harm leaving it. Could go back to one Covid thread on SMB to cover any news on the matter.
Once it is in a sub forum people tend not to look in.

This. It’s a really weird flex as the kids would say.

I would agree it needs archiving, its the only reminder about covid nowadays as 99% have probably forgotten about it now

While the rest of Europe still have restrictions, we should still keep this going.
We may be "cracking on" but changes in other countries rules would be useful on here.

This.I disagree, I've just got over having Covid for the first time in the last week and found this part of the forum helpful with speaking to others who currently had it too. If you're not interested in it, don't f***ing read it
It's not as if it's 'hurting anyone' by being here.

I'm an expert on that...would be good
It will be flu craic, but most won't give toss 'cos it's not Covd.
Is that your "nick" ?
