Feels more Road Block than Road map.

Seems to be very slow in opening things up.

We have come so far living within restrictions.
Now it is the time to go forward in "softly, softly" mode.
I would love to buzz down to the pub but I know from last time that many couldnt contain themselves ,couldnt behave with a couple of pints down the neck.
Who was it said that "lockdown for a year is a pain but six feet under is worse"?

Lock down off.
Lock down on.

And so on and so on.
The bets still on.

it should be flexible particularly with schools, staff need to be vaccinated before kids come back. Scientists are warning the government that it will climb again unless the figures are lower when children return to school.

what is the big deal with kids getting back to school? how is this classed as a priority?

Elizabeth, good question. I don’t honestly know, but perhaps Mothers may want to work. Also perhaps children may be safer st school . I do know that a lot of children do not have a breakfast before going to school and the school provides , cereal, or/ and toast. Sad but this is the world we now live in..

I don't listen to the BBC the prejudiced BBC won't see nothing on their channel or MAINSTREAM MEDIA about the truth, I've said lots of times on this site that I want to be wrong but I watch alternative news and believe me most institutionalised individuals only believe the Boris Brigade. Gotta wake up, I want to be wrong but the evidence is there and I believe it.

I am not part of the Boris brigade, or a fan of BBC, I use various websites for news and none state what you're claiming, post the links.

TheBBC have been asked to debate this with any top scientists but will only take the advice of the corrupt Sage outfit, go on Brand New Tube and you will find lots of information world wide about the biggest hoax in years. Are they all wrong.

Re: Feels so very sensible and measured

I went on the site and to be honest its mainly theories not news, some people can sound convincing but it doesn't mean it's true, its youtube style 'info' is not a news site any more than Ancient aliens on Discovery is a programme on space exploration. It is all about debunking basically everything out there. I would call it a conspiracy theory site.

We now have a person who thinks he knows more than the world wide scientists about the vaccine. This misleading post should be deleted ASAP

Totally agree, you might have heard the old army expression, “Everyone is out of step except me”.

That totally agree was meant for Geoff, not Norman Forster.

I am more than shocked at your attitude Norman. There is a lovely lady who has just buried her husband (64 years old) yesterday and her daughter (29 years old) a week gone Saturday. Please go and convince her that they didn't die from Covid, am sure she could convince you otherwise.

Where on earth is your evidence that the vaccine is killing more than the pandemic. I'm quite happy for people to have different views but spreading mis information should not be allowed.

Just where do you get your figures from, not for real ?

Your right.

Regretfully some people who should know better are throwing caution to the winds and bending the guidance rules. A touch of I’m alright Jack.

Whatever the Government does is wrong, too soon or too late according to some people.

They are taking what they think is the best course. You can see the strain that all this is putting on Boris.

I have read all the other comments posted In this thread and not surprised by that/those from a particular quarter. XYX !

I don't agree with any of the points about the vaccine killing more people than the virus,nor vaccine not being effective, and think people should take it when offered it.
The fact seems clear that they said we needed lock downs,curbs otherwise there would have been x number of deaths,well the total is very high still.
Boris is now saying we need to live with it, as it will not be eradicated.
That should have been the way from the start, including shutting foreign travel into the country straight away.
A main issue that stoked the last surge was return to colleges,universities, schools in out.
Hospitality, particularly, restaurants, pubs, worked hard and are not spreaders as other areas.
Why shut non essential shops when they have undertaken same precautions.
People have or should have choice to live their lives, albeit I take the point if your dead you can't, and I have seen and experienced the effects the same as others.
The costs to society, in lost cancer treatment grounds,mental health etc ,are all equally important.
It is difficult times and there is no prepared script to deal with it.
It seems that patience and compassion are needed by all.

Your summation is fine David.
To those in the thread who have called for some posts to be taken down I simply reply "the man is voicing an opinion" albeit for me a very unreliable one which is the hymn sheet from which he has been singing for a year.
To me the opinion is so wrong! I can find no evidence whatsover, after widely searching the net, of any reliable sources carrying info about virus vaccines killing folk. IT IS A MYTH.

Myth: Covid-19 vaccine trials killed people
These fears were caused by fake news, pure and simple. Millions of people shared stories claiming Dr Elisa Granato, one of the first participants in the human trials of the Oxford vaccine, died shortly after being injected.

But Dr Granato hadn't died, and gave a BBC interview saying she was feeling “absolutely fine”.

Sarcastic replies will get the post removed.
All comments I've made are based on what I believe.
But I also said appx 1 year ago it wasn't going back to normal times. I want to be wrong and time will tell but a year later we are still getting the same story from the Sage outfit. I won't say any more or I might be in trouble with the administration. I also will apologise to all members if and when we get back to normal???97

Better safe than never! Totally agree with the PM, It is so sad that many businesses are closing and people losing their jobs but I suspect a lot of people are already ignoring the controls, you only need to look at yesterday’s paper to see hundreds of people at the coast and when the pubs do eventually reopen they are going to be swamped, in the pubs they can be controlled but it’s what happens when they come out which frightens me, I honestly think there could well be a third wave with even more deaths.

I agree with what Boris is trying to do, it is taking time but we are still in the middle of a pandemic that is still killing people.

I have had my first vaccination, I do see a light at the end of the tunnel but the tunnel is quite long, I feel that this virus will be with us for quite sometime to come. I really don’t understand how people are in denial about this it is real, it kills, it can leave people in a terrible state some are not fully recovering, look at Kate Garraway’s husband he has been in hospital almost a year - is that some publicity stunt???

To be honest I also think another there is a great possibility of another lockdown, it might be avoided if people adhere to the rules but it is human nature to have the attitude that, I will enjoy myself come what may it can’t happen to me and I don’t care what happens to others.

What a world we now live in, such a pity.
