Think it's 34.5m currently so well over 60%.
Short term possibly for individuals. Long term I doubt it for the population on average, as the more dominant strains will take over.
I don't know about a weird twisted privilege but its bloody annoying, especially when it doesn't reflect popular public sentiment. Feels like the British libertarian faction of the Tory party are flexing too much power.
I mean in the sense that it takes a certain level of privilege to consider the current situation we’re in to be in any way comparable to not being “free” as people.
I don't see what the hype is all about, we have all been allowed to go see our friends and family, go out for meals or drinks etc.. I have even squeezed in two weddings last month so life has kind of gone back to pre covid times with the only difference being I have had to wear a mask to some of the places I have been to.
"Look at your ghastly teeth! Wear a mask"
No mention of pubs though which, let’s face it, all people care about here in Wales - standing up drinking
Haha, that’s one way. I mean more like trying to nudge people into making not wearing a mask in indoor public places somehow socially unacceptable. Freedom indeed.
I think its more that essential things for the older more vulnerable like shops, transport, doctors are still being protected whereas people can avoid indoor areas in busy pubs if they choose , especially for a month or so whilst the weather is mild .
Yeah makes sense
Just saw an ad from C4 music which kept saying “summer of freedom”. Setting perhaps an expectation for people which will be hard to return from if there is a lockdown later
Boris has said that the unlocking is irreversible (in England)
I mean around winter time. Is he saying that there will be no lockdown no matter what?
He probably thinks it’s like flammable and inflammable.
He reversed on that position last week…he didn’t rule out anything this winter. They’re also now saying you should wear masks indoors a week after cabinet ministers were saying they wouldn’t.
I think that's what irreversible means?
We live in the age of the marketing slogan (Make America Great Again, Brexit means Brexit etc.) It's all pandering media bollocks that actually works well sadly.
All right all right captain sarcastic
Sounds like you want a lock down
Well I’ve just been told in no that it’s irreversible so presuming there won’t be another lockdown. Unless it’s just bollox to make people have a nice summer without worrying so much
We were told Dortmund wouldn't negotiate too
If it means having a normal Christmas it might be best. Covid hasn't been solved.
That’s a normal part of a functioning society. Discouraging people from doing things that are dangerous to society in exchange for obviously tolerable inconveniences for the individual, without having to resort to law enforcement. What kind of society would we live in if that kind of social influence wasn’t imposed? That idea of “freedom” falls apart if you just pull one of the thousands of loose ends.
What I would say is "No, I can't help you because the kid is sick and I am not in a position to take any risk"
Note the obvious similarity between October 1st and July 1st.
Wow ... he's comparing autumn with summer, without realising the end part of the graph approaching autumn looks eerily similar to the previous autumn .... haha
