How many times in the past has someone said to you and others, "I'll cancel that visit to yours. I've got a cold and don't want anyone to pass it on"? People have said that loads of times haven't they? They didn't need to be "socially distancing". They used common sense. And that's what should be happening now. Remove all restrictions, get back to "normal", and...

Peter Pedant, //can this be the same person who was castigating olds for their "I'm all right Jack" selfish attitude - - a few days ago ?

I think we should be told//

Yes, it is the same person … but you missed a bit. I said some pensioners and some people who have guaranteed incomes. There you are. You’ve been told.

I’ve posted on quite a few threads today, PP, so have a good look round. You know how you'd hate to miss the opportunity to pick holes in anything I say - not to mention misrepresent me.
And I was of the same opinion, so stick that in your pipe and smoke it PP.
You can stuff your ‘freedoms’. All illusory anyway.
They’re planning on bringing in further lockdowns in the north of England, so I don’t see any U turn.

jo, I'm talking about the experts not the government.
Clover, there is no official U-turn. From the link: //Thousands of scientists and health experts have joined a global movement warning of "grave concerns" about Covid-19 lockdown policies.//

The question in the OP was addressed to us, the readers.
Oh I see. I wonder if the government will listen to these experts or carry on with Whitty and Whatty.
TTT. Cross-posted.
Clover, probably carry on with Witless and GSK-Valance.

Valance stands to make an absolute mint if GSK dish out the vaccine, wouldnt surprise me if Hancock and the Turk get back handers he was claiming poverty the other day or someone was on his behalf.
It doesn't work like that. If i carried on with my life and went to work using public transport. I have no car. How do I protect the vulnerable people who may also be on the bus with me?
We can cocoon vulnerable people indoors forever. They have lives to live as well
//We can cocoon vulnerable people indoors forever. //

I take it you mean we can't cocoon vulnerable old people indoors forever.

No we can't. So what's the alternative? Cocoon everybody indoors forever? The people who should avoid public transport are the vulnerable (if, having weighed up the risk, they choose to). Not everybody else. Some people may die if they eat a peanut. But you don't ban the sale of peanuts in case they do. Think what that would do to the peanut business.
As a reasonably healthy 70+ pensioner (no health problems at all -none!), I will not be having ANY injection, any time soon. How will they administer it? Drag us round to the surgery?
So your saying corona is like peanut allergys judge? Makes a change from flue a suppose. A think "Your having a larf" at are expense again judge.

10Claridgest- corona vax, its not going to be compulsry you know just as flue vax isnt compulsry.
Torra- you say the experts as if there all saying it but there not , infact few are. Itd be odd actualy if everyone thought exacly the same when its such a new virus with so many deaths and hospital case's. Anyhow some of these '"experts" they trot out on youtube video's are nothing of the sort.
But and its a big but (a cannot lie) a agree the main protection as to be for the old and vunerable first, we need to keep school's open and workplaces like shops (mine) and factory's where we can. But aswell we after stop younger fitter one's getting it and passing it to older peopel so we cant just go back to the old ways for anyone who wants to
//So your saying corona is like peanut allergys judge?//

er..no. It's called an analogy.

//But aswell we after stop younger fitter one's getting it and passing it to older peopel so we cant just go back to the old ways for anyone who wants to//

And how do you propose that is done? Keep the old locked up, keep the young locked up, or keep them both locked up?
if you're going to keep them all locked up don't forget to wipe those pesky door hangles.
How many times in the past has someone said to you and others, "I'll cancel that visit to yours. I've got a cold and don't want anyone to pass it on"? People have said that loads of times haven't they? They didn't need to be "socially distancing". They used common sense. And that's what should be happening now. Remove all restrictions, get back to "normal", and everyone use common sense. Whatever actions this government takes, in the end, we're all going to have to live this with this virus. You/me/they won't control it. It's here. Live with it people.
