Depressing stuff
It really is beyond depressing. Clicked on the bbc news website there with my porridge and wish I hadn’t. London overwhelmed , govt calling meetings etc. It’s only heading one way now. The panic cannot be stopped. Boxing Day is absolutely ruined with no football , we’ve all had vaccines , but it seems not to be enough now. Where does it end
It's been endemic since MarchThe problem is actually social media which has allowed people to form opinions based on a random lady's front bottom in America telling you that you will grow a third eye if u take a vaccine.
Omicron should see the pandemic go endemic based on its transmisity but what that means for the next 3/4 weeks only god knows
What hasIt's been endemic since March
Covid. That's when it was downgraded by the governmentWhat has
Why the sudden panic again then. If you haven’t turned on the news I’d advise you not toCovid. That's when it was downgraded by the government
I've got my opinions on it as do many others but I'm not going to derail this thread with it.Why the sudden panic again then. If you haven’t turned on the news I’d advise you not to
When do you think it will start? I a have my wedding on Mon 27th Dec. Doesn't look good does it?Trading standards at Renfrewshire District Council, the enforcement agency for all things covid have sent directives out to businesses in their catchment areas (catering and hospitality in my case). The rules they have stipulated are akin to the most severe, outwith total closure, that we have seen since we were allowed to re-open. e.g. screens at service areas, table service where possible, limited numbers, maximum customer spacing.
Make no mistake about it, we are headed for another tranche of severe restrictions on our ability to trade at full capacity. When these restrictions were in place before, football at grounds above 10,000 were BCD.
I expect a further update from Nikla on Tuesday, after the real government make theirs on Monday, that we will be in lockdown until at least the return of the schools for the Spring term. This would fit in a three week 'circuit breaker', buying them time, allowing Xmas/Ne'erday to be enjoyed without mandatory restriction to level 4.
After that? Who knows? We were told the same last year and were not allowed to reopen till April.
Before anyone starts as to the rights and wrongs, or gets into any 'civil liberty' debates, all I am doing is setting out the info I have and my interpretation of such. I know no more or less than the 'average Joe', because I am Joe too.
Everything points to the 27th it seemsWhen do you think it will start? I a have my wedding on Mon 27th Dec. Doesn't look good does it?
Yeah, that's what I thought. Trying to convince myself it'll go ahead but prob more to keep Mrs calm tbh. This is our second attempt after having to cancel Vegas in 2020. (40 of us going over). Absolutely gutted again. Sick of this pishEverything points to the 27th it seems
Football won't be stopped all together.
Behind closed first.
Sadly, Monday 27th would be my nap.When do you think it will start? I a have my wedding on Mon 27th Dec. Doesn't look good does it?
That’s an unreal scenario for you mate your Mrs will be up to high dough. I don’t want to depress you but I’d be amazed if you get married on the 27th now unfortunately. Javid is on Andrew marr just now saying it might even be brought in before Christmas , although as others have said that would be a last resort as people just won’t listen.Yeah, that's what I thought.

I would imagine the police will be expecting trouble and i would be shocked if there wasn't.Feyenoord-Ajax tomorrow plus a midweek programme Wednesday, and then winter break until 16 Jan. Polis still expecting a Feyenoord riot even with BCD.
Yeah, that's what I think mate. It's actually the waiting for the inevitable that's the worst. We've got family flying in from different parts of the world too so that's another factor. Gutter for us is we didn't even rebook after Vegas (June 2020) as we thought better to wait till things were looking normal again. Only booked it in Oct and settled on Glasgow just so we could limit risk as much as possible. Worst thing is had to give my season book up for Wednesday, yesterday and for boxing day incase I was pinged etc. HahaThat’s an unreal scenario for you mate your Mrs will be up to high dough.

What are people meant to do?They must be low jabbed. No people would be foolish enough to get double or triple jabbed and then just accept getting locked down for the thing they got jabbed for. Right? You need to have been in a hypnotic state to simply accept that
It must be an absolute nightmare for people like yourselves mate. What do you do tell people not to bother travelling now ? Brutal.Yeah, that's what I think mate.

Yeah, probably. That's why I'm hoping there's a decision tomorrow. They obviously have the issue of not getting back for work aswell of they get pinged or worse get it, so they prob wouldn't travel if it wasnt for wedding.It must be an absolute nightmare for people like yourselves mate.

What is his source ?Boy am in the pub with (claimed) admitted that they’ve been told the football is done for 2 weeks
What is his source ?
No-one's saying don't question anything though.
There's questioning things and there's being a tin foil hat wearing borderline swampy that spends all his time on social media and forums, spouting conspiracies and thinking they know better than everyone else in Government, the NHS, World Health Board, specialists etc.
If you trust the experts, that doesn't make you a sheep.
You don't even have to agree with the restrictions either, but believe it's not something they are taking
In the UK, Billions per week cost, all for some companies to make hundreds of millions each off the vaccines? it doesn't make sense.

I've heard from day one this is about money and that the vaccines and the tests are a big business and industry (which is true) but at the peak of the pandemic it cost the UK Government billions per week in furlough money alone and that's before getting started on the economy.

It didn’t cost the government anything it cost us, we will be the ones suffering not one single politician will be suffering due to this. Inflation through the roof, the money we earn and have saved has been devalued. Small businesses trampled on, freedoms and rights trampled on.
Lockdowns don’t work, the vaccines don’t work and our politicians have lied to us. They are now pitting the “vaccinated v the “ANTIVAX” and people are lapping it up.
There are legitimate concerns with the “vaccines” they have offered up. There are many treatments out there for people if it’s dealt with early but that never gets mentioned - you’re a nut job if you mention it. Natural immunity never gets mentioned.
I’ve had covid and got it from a vaccinated person.
Nearly two years in, 92% vaccination rates and they are going to lock us down again! If that doesn’t make you question it all then I don’t know what to say?
It’s all the “tin foil hat wearing anti-vaxxers fault” - yeah right.
I think they are trying.
Is that you Super Hans?
Hospital admissions are stable
What are the chances of going to hospital with Omicron in the UK?
On Saturday, the number of genetically confirmed cases jumped by about 10,000 to just under 25,000. But the UK Health Security Agency also records likely cases which soared by around 23,000.www.google.com
On the news don’t know how to post the link, Holland announce full lockdown until 19th January , pubs, restaurants , theatres, stadiums, schools the whole shooting match unfortunately I wonder if we will end up doing the same. Two families only for Christmas Day and Boxing Day.
Could today be the last we see our team until after the winter break who knows

Covid is over And panic porners like David Leonhardt are going to sorely regret this last spasm. Fewer than 1 in 50 people with confirmed Omicron cases are being hospitalized in South Africa - which suggests that the actual hospitalization to infection rate is far lower still, because so many...t.me

Covid's killed off flu for a SECOND year

Messi called us anti football.Better stop we’ll be labelled anti-vaxxers soon.
Marriage? Depends.When do you think it will start? I a have my wedding on Mon 27th Dec. Doesn't look good does it?
I admire and respect all those willing to speak out and protestI don't get why no one seems to want to do anything about this , no ones wants to protest or make a stand and those that do are getting laughed at , are the government really just able to bend everyone over whenever they want and the public will just be good little boys and girls and take it
