In twelve months if we have a vaccine and are clear of this will we wear masks if we have a flu to protect others?

I know I keep harping on about this but don't be surprised if cross neighbours of crazy parties going on beside them start taking the law into their own hands and sorting it out and I don't blame them as there will be no enforcement by the law.

No, because flu is less dangerous and less infectious..but you can if you want .

According to Bill Gates, normality will only return once 2nd generation vaccines are available. First gen are expected to only be partially effective and they haven't even been approved yet, let alone distributed.

If he's right - and I suspect he is - sooner or later we're going to have to face the fact that we need to actually live with Covid and that lockdown yoyo is not a sustainable or appropriate response to this.

Regardless, we'll all be wearing masks for a long, long time to come.

Why did you think that and has it effected your approach to mitigating Covid? It is definitely an opinion that is being shared more and more so more and more people believe it. Honestly, I have no idea why people keep bringing Influenza into the Covid discussions. There are a few similarities but Covid 19 differs vastly in transmission and symptoms. Blood clots and strokes would never happen with flu but in various groups are increasingly common with Covid.

The death rate with influenza averages at 0.1% and Covid is averaging ten times higher than that. The issue is that we know how to control influenza and the vaccine assists in keeping the death rate low. With Covid the death rate will increase if hospitals are overwhelmed.

A lot of people believe that the influenza virus is way deadlier due to false information being shared. Most notable example is Mr. Trumps tweets and posts stating this which were subsequently removed for being false and misleading

Schools and construction to stay open but shops to shut
And no enforcement
We will be a complete outlier in terms of restrictions and no enforcement

There isn't much difference between 4 and 5 at all.

Had a little laugh that GAA championship will probably be allowed to continue, despite all the recent goings on and they're amateur so not bubbled and tested like professional sport. I'd like GAA to continue but I don't see how it does.

This also made absolutely no sense to me, household visits banned but allow families travel further during midterm ???

"Household visits will continue to be banned and people may be asked to remain within 10km of their home. Ministers are also considering 5km but this may be increased to 10km to allow families to travel further with children during the mid-term school break."

Elite things are allowed, so I guess all kids must be elites, and staff working within the education sector to

Shutting non essential retail has to be the most pointless thing imaginable

I hope they have some cop on

Not close something that has less than 0.1 impact on R rate according to latest UK sage report

No country in Europe is closing retail, it is bonkers and has no scientific backing.

Fair point, but they have to try something, what else can they do?

Completely pointless and retail will be the first to reopen with Christmas coming. Even in countries that have increased restrictions retail remains open.

Your literally creating pent up demand for when they reopen, utterly pointless

Would you rather people are spread out over the next 2 months doing Xmas shopping or first week in December have a mass conversion on shops and shopping centres. Which is more dangerous at the moment ??

I would think its the situation where you've more people over a shorter space of time.

But if they staggered lockdowns, would this stagger hospitalisations?

Not sure what exactly your point is.

Non essential retail was the first to reopen & doesn't appear to be the issue.

Why close it ? Just tell people to only stay local, shop local.
