@glasagusban is in a weird Venn diagram type position of being pro-lockdown but anti-foreign travel restrictions. We should stay at home and shut domestic society down so as not to spread the virus but at the same time we should be allowed travel to other countries so we can import and export the virus and because it is vital for our economy which we have closed during lockdown.
He has the most illogical view of anyone on here of the approach to this pandemic.
Donât let anyone outside their door, shut businesses, schools down, the hospitality sector down but allow me to go and travel and do these things in another country and risk importation and exportation of the virus .
Good luck to ya, do what you need to to make it bearable
I canât know with any certainty but I do sometimes think how I would put up with this if I was 25 years younger.
Can I ask if youâre honest with the older people in your life about your shebeen visits? If I had a kid your age Iâd rather they didnât but Iâd understand the frustration
Because weâve just created this big yoke of a cash cow and handed it to a bunch of wankers. Theyâre not about to give it back and thereâs no sign of a leader who is prepared to say something unpopular, take a risk with public opinion or stand up to any bollox with an ology. Weâve an infantile generation of young adults too it seems. That doesnât help.
My parents donât really care that much about it themselves. Theyâre early 60s and wouldnât be in contact with people much older than that as their parents are dead but theyâve been visiting friends the last few weeks
Bec as use thereâs so much talk of COVID here the debates are completely circular, Iâm guessing you read the thread very little, this has been discussed to death. In some detail last night even.
I donât blame you either, you couldnât keep up
Your first point is incorrect pal. I donât think we should be locked down for the last year at all regardless. We should have went with the Swedish model from the start.
The more people we get vaccinated the quicker we get out of lockdown you reckon - time will tell mate, the vaccine manufacturers have admitted the vaccines dont give immunity from the virus or stop transmission. What is their purpose then? Oh it reduces symptoms â surely ivermectin could do the same? Why isnt that an option also?
I donât think its selfish to question a new vaccine given the above.
Iâll also comment away on restrictions pal. Just because weâve a different view shouldnt mean that my view should be silenced. Its a very important debate.
