Especially are folks don't seem to be really trying his time. If we don't get local elimination before all the O50s are vaccinated there will be little point trying anymore. We have to fall in step with the rest of the world at some stage so that would be a sensible time to do it (Assuming UK and European rates are similar to ours by then). Well we can only aspire to UK rates at present 😂 Considering hardly anyone sticks to the rules in UK, they all seem to visit parents/friends etc they are doing extremely well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have to fall in step with the rest of the world at some stage so that would be a sensible time to do it (Assuming UK and European rates are similar to ours by then). The UK figures show the dramatic impact vaccination appears to be having. From a peak of 7 day average of 1,250 deaths per day 23 January now down to 145 per day now. About a 90% reduction. Other good news is IOM 7 day infection rate is at 63 down from a peak of 79 5 days ago.

I was in about a month ago and after 4 pints I couldn’t wait any longer and had to go, it’s certainly a unique experience 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems that no one has a particular clue. Everything is so nebulus and uncertain. The data - and that includes genomics - is key. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gladys Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 I see the police are posting about yoofs congregating in Noble's Park. I see quite a few groups out and about as I go about my essential business. Given that kids make up the largest group of infectees, this really does need to be addressed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That alone is concerning. Maybe they should use blowpipes and darts like vets do, from behind a hedge. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After 2 weeks? Meanwhile, they have been locking down and isolating I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
