//You cant be serious surly//
I most certainly am. Vaccination is available to everyone who wants it. That's the best anyone can do to protect themselves. The population cannot be expected to lock itself away if they happen to test positive for what is, for the vast majority of sufferers, a mild illness. Those who believe they are particularly vulnerable will have to do the isolating. The government suggested that the vaccine was the way back to normality. Well, as many people as seem likely to have it have done so and now is the time for normality. That means no masks, no testing, no self isolation, no social distancing, no constant threats of restrictions. Basically, everything the government suggests will happen under "Operation Rampdown." As I keep saying, this virus is here to stay. So with that in mind, how long do you believe these ridiculous practices are to go on for?
//NJ, as you are so certain, have you given your findings to the Government experts?//
No need. If the UK government or any of the devolved administrations had any suspicion that this might happen we'd have been locked down long ago. As Dave says (and I wholeheartedly agree) the idea that basic freedoms should be restricted or removed as a tool to control demand on the NHS is outrageous. Anyway, I always understood the NHS was there for the benefit of the population, not the other way around.
