sidcow Posted August 19, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted August 19, 2021 (edited) Pretty much all metrics seem to be rising again. Cases, deaths, in hospital admissions, in hospital, on ventilators. I think we got a bit excited by the post Euro's dip and we're now seeing the effect of the re-opening. I wonder how long it keeps going for before it dips again, it surely must start to run out of new victims soon. Could start to hit some big numbers again when the kids are back at school and we're migrating back indoors.

You can test positive for weeks after you've recovered and are no longer longer contagious. My daughters friend has also been told the same. It’ll be fun trying to get schools to let them in if they continue to test positive. Luckily my wife and both children now testing negative.

I think it’ll get worse before it gets better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put my mask on the at the supermarket today, but i'm starting to become the minority now. Thats rapidly changed in the last 10 days or so. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes i wear one myself but the majority dont and I see very few young people wearing them and wonder how many of them haven't even been vaccinated. yes crack on, get the booster jab, then at some point it should level off but I think we could be in for a hard winter again.

Most adults, if they wanted, can be vaccinated if they choose to be. If you choose not to be, on your own head be it. *I do however, sympathise, for people who can't have it for medical reasons. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Just watched that Contagion movie in full, never saw the end. Wow, closer than I thought to what we are/were going through, even started with a bat. I wonder if they will ever find the true cause, an investigation don't really seem priority, although I guess your getting nothing from the Chinese.

He's not anti vax, as in conspiracy believing but his reasoning was he never really gets ill and his immune system has always been good. He genuinely believed he didn't need it. He ended up getting it, as a lot of us pushed him and he knew he'd probably need the passport to do stuff in the future. Really surprised me.

I suspect a lot of the vocal “no way” brigade will quietly slip off and get the jab. Many won’t also. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think when they realise they may not be allowed to go abroad and do things with their mates, that'll be what prompts them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Hancock even admitted that seeing the ending of that film and how the nation's fought over vaccine supplies panicked him into the huge order and partnership with AstraZeneca. I completely believe it happened like that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
