Of course they worked. Would have worked better if we hadn't been importing new variants through the airports.
Are you under oath Richard?
you kinda need to take yourself out of the equation when looking at the issue overall when trying to tackle the problem.
roughly 6 million of us on the island, we at least need to try some things and maintain it somehow until we figure it out. thats my thinking anyway..
Well they worked for a while for sure. And I am not too worried about a revolution overturning the entire political class. The revolutionaries would have to leave their parent’s basements first (which makes you wonder why they are so opposed to being locked down?).
anyway lockdowns were found to be constitutional.
Did not work for Az and Nz for some reason, despite high security at airports 🤣
With only 15K tests a day you can bet your house on the real number being a hell of a lot more cases than 2000 kicking around. Even if it is only twice as much, the question is how many have they been passing it on to.
Yes thats what I am worried about, I always get 2 colds a year , one around Oct/Nov, the other around Feb/Mar ... I haven't had one since Feb 2020.
Because of all the social distancing , washing hands etc ... maybe you think it's good but I'm not so sure, think my immune system is not getting the "exercise" it needs, next cold/flu I'll get will probably nearly kill me - but it's OK since it won't be covid ...
They weren't found to be Constitutional, as there was never a proper Constitutional challenge heard.
You know the vaccinated are the ones bringing covid into the country right ?
we cant close borders. we need to trade etc..or the economy shuts in a few days.. we need to deal with it as it happens
Right . I had to get a negative test before boarding a plane to Ireland, yet I was sitting next to a vaccinated couple who didn’t have to be tested . Eh why not?! So the unvaccinated are proving they don’t have covid on arrival and the vaccinated can run rampant. But it’s all the unvaccinated’s fault.
You should get vaccinated. Saves time.
Lol
This is a difficult one to explain and a lot of it bolloxology as well but i do see where you are coming from :)
ok, well the guys that are vax'd up. see themselves as immune ... "yahee happy go lucky..". listen, just take a step back and relax. you seem like you are young and healthy. just keep going forward with your life , enjoy it, keep your head up and smile
im smiling under my mask 🧘🏻♀️
`that's the attitude :)
Friend was told by a student the other day that a college lecturer told them that they would be in for around 6 weeks and then probably online learning until Spring. So the lecturer is predicting mid October lockdown
a friend was told by a student that a lecturer was told...jaysus..chinese whispers gone mad there :)
Bound to be lockdowns with all the anti vaxxers anti vaxxxing.
Sorry what relevance does the 3rd hand opinion of a random lecturer have exactly?
Indeed, especially now with all those vaxxed still catching covid 🙄
How absurdly libertarian. Maybe you should go live in a cave, batman. You clearly have no desire to live in a society.
Yes but not as much. So if y’all got vaccinated the lockdowns would be less likely.
Back before the mass vaccinations the importing of variants was through unnecessary travel by air making the lockdowns less effective. At least the MHQ reduced this considerably.
Anti vaxxers are so early 2021……. Anti Boosters are the next enemy.
MHQs decreased importation of the virus.....🤣 such a good joke!
It put many off travel. Some would have carried the variants!
Record cases in Scotland today and Nicola not rulling "anything" out when it comes to re-imposing rules during the pandemic like a circuit breaker.
" First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said there was a "very sharp rise" yesterday as 6,835 cases were recorded, 1,910 more than the day before "
Honestly people here need to accept that another lockdown can easily happen and looks likely
Our leaders on about removing restrictions in a few weeks and across the Irish Sea they putting them back with 80%+ adults fully vaccinated like ourselves
NPHET will be ringing alarm bells before our restrictions are due to go at end of September in my opinion.
Scotland is going back into lockdown, so soon we'll follow their example.
I see the latest is no circuit breaker lockdown planned ...
Lockdowns won't work again, there is no sell with vaccines anymore as they've gotten to pretty much the best point with them.
time to live with it.
