What isnt achievable about not before June the 21st? June the 20th? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted March 25, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted March 25, 2021 2 hours ago, Genie said: After a really promising start expectations were raised at how many people they could do. General fatigue and losing some key members of staff have lead to a big slump in the recent performance. Whilst it’s disappointing that they’re not doing quite as well with vaccinations currently they are ahead of where they expected to be at this stage due to the early form. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lichfield Dean Posted March 25, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted March 25, 2021 Covid: The London bus trip that saved maybe a million lives The Recovery trial was set up in March 2020 to test existing drugs on Covid patients, to see if they had an effect on the disease. The findings of the trial have saved hundreds of thousands of lives. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-56508369 This is an amazing story.

Popular Post sne Posted March 25, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 25, 2021 Parents just got their first doses today. They managed to get the same day but at different times and different locations. Mom got Moderna and dad got Pfizer. Not seem them in over a year but at least now we are one step closer. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine are in their 70s and they had to demand it off their doctor. Both have medical conditions that quite frankly surprise me they are still around. They have had to work to get their jabs. The french seem incredibly lax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Looks like covid passports are on the way. Personally I'm for it - not sure it can be done - but absolutely give me a normal pub experience with a mostly safe knowledge that there's no covid in there.

StefanAVFC Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 As others have said in this thread, showing your medical history upon entry to any public place is all a bit dystopian to me. Also discriminatory against those who haven't had any chance to receive it yet, through no fault of their own, who are low risk and likely healthy. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 So, you can only work in a pub if you’re vaccinated? Aren’t most pub staff quite young? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBF - it appears you need only show an app that says yes you have been vaccinated - rather than any medical history of any other nature. Also, cinemas are proposing offering vaccinated screenings AND non vaccinated screenings, allowing people a choice. Not sure if pubs can also opt out, but I assume they could. It's all getting a bit weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a m ole Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 (edited) Vaccine passports are dumb. edit; I take it back, it’s on the provision that every adult has been offered a jab. I still think it would be an expensive waste of money, but at least it’s only prohibitive to those who’ve chosen not to have the vaccine. I question that, but I don’t care anywhere near as much because I’ll have it ASAP. Edited March 25, 2021 by a m ole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 If vaccine passports are only a thing after everyone has been offered the vaccine, what's the point? I'd expect so few people to have rejected it that it's worth bothering sure to herd immunity coming in to play. Is it more a move to pressure any skeptics into having it rather than a useful tool in its own right? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post chrisp65 Posted March 26, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 26, 2021 Travel restrictions within Wales scrapped as from midnight tonight. The number of people that can stand in your garden increased to 6. Self catering tourism and hotels open from tomorrow (in Wales for peeps living in Wales). It means a couple of legit family get togethers over the weekend. It extends massively the number of places i can go for a walk or a change of scenery. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing about old people today, Chris, is that they've grown feckless, complacent and idle thanks to their triple-locked pensions, their 'mobility issues' and their Michael Portillo documentaries that are on BBC 1 24 hours a day. But you know what Chris mate, it's nothing that a year of ten-hour, minimum-wage shifts at city centre Wetherspoons on Friday and Saturday nights wouldn't knock out of 'em. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The carpets would doubtless still be sticky, but at least with the older generation behind the bar they could correct your drinks order for you. ’we ordered two pints of lager’ ’yes, but I noticed you were with a lady, so I switched hers to a medium white wine and I’ve got you an Old Speckled Hen, put hairs on your chest’. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 The extents to which people are prepared to give up privacy and civil Liberty all for the sake of ten days in Benidorm and a pint and a burger in the local Wetherspoons is frightening. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
