And the band played Waltzing Matilda
When we stopped to bury our slain
Well we buried ours and the Turks buried theirs
Then it started all over again
The UK are planning to more or less do it next month.
Iâm not arguing for anything⌠People just need to look around at whatâs actually happening Vs what they want to happen. Weâll have restrictions gradually eased as vaccinations increase but vulnerable or not, crowds and gatherings will be capped. Youâre looking at next summer before a decent crowd can go to a GAA match. Vaccines are all new and variations are popping upâŚi agree with a lot of what @Tierneevin1979 is saying but I donât know why lads are now getting all prissy about flu rates v covid⌠thatâs tinfoil hat stuff. Itâs been clear from the off our lockdowns have been about a poor health system⌠Until the majority of us have had a vaccine thereâs no way theyâll risk widescale opening.
Oh jaysusâŚ
If there are 20000 cases a day, with each person infected having ten close contacts (a highly conservative figure in a fully opened up society), you then have 220000 people in a 14 day lockdown.
Would you consider this factor part of a normally functioning society?
Not back to normal though.
More or less, nightclubs open etc.
Hungary are planning their matches for 100% capacity this summer at the Euros.
Great fact based logical argument there Doofus.

Ok - weâll see what happens.
A common sense period.
[Sorry, I have to interrupt here]
But you wouldnât because no-one would give a shit who has covid or not because the elderly and vulnerable would have been vaccinated.
Just accept that no non-vulnerable young person gives a shit whether they get covid or not*. Theyâre only worried for their parents and grandparents.
*or at least they donât care enough to lockdown

We will. Itâs going to be interesting. Restrictions are going to roll back in a lot of countries progressing their vaccination rollout during the coming months. Signs from Israel are finally looking encouraging.
Restrictions heavily rolled back and daily case numbers dwindling.

Iâd consider it more normally functioning than a society in full lockdown, possibly for years.
We will be stone last in the vaccine rollout, surely the figures from everywhere else will give us the information and answers. Full capacity events are happening already elsewhere were all the punters attending vaccinated?
I feel like Iâve done a great job badgering @Malarkey into addressing a few of his points and exposing himself as an absolute idiot in doing so.

Our politicians are gutless. That needs to be worked into the xg equation⌠Our hope is most of Europe motoring and us being shamed into it. I suppose weâll see how good the vaccine is come June as thousands of riddled southerners flee across the border to the vaccinated North.

The 14 day quarantine will be abandoned, the only people who will quarantine are those that are genuinely sick (and @Batigol 's lads who donât want to go to work because they have the vaccine flu).
Open the fucking barbers ta fuck

This is exactly it and we knew it from the get go too, we will still be county bound in August while the Premiership games across the way will have crowds of up to 30 odd thousand depending on stadium size.
Next October will tell a lot in relation to these vaccines here.
The fact that theyâre now saying theyâre effects are not permanent leads me to believe weâll be in level 5 lockdown next winter again, Iâve no doubt about it cc @backinatracksuit
Hope Iâm wrong but I think a lot of people are in for a big shock.
Lockdowns are what is being deemed as the only tool to fully prevent future waves.
