Also Ireland have introduced for indoor hospitality How on earth do you conclude that preposterous restrictions are 'encouragement'? They aren't. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many times have I heard this over the years. I don't sense any shift myself let alone a big one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the meantime, people who attended the Castletown Festival yesterday will have noticed how difficult it was to find anyone wearing a "face covering." I estimated a maximum of 1 or 2 people per hundred complying with Chief Minister Howard Quayle's advice (5 Aug 2021) that people wear face coverings in crowded and enclosed spaces. Is that a conjunctive or disjunctive “and” in crowded and Enclosed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTeapot Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Castletown festival was fun. No one needed a face mask because it was outside. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaccine stock is 11,908 and there are only 4491 second doses booked. The only reason I can think it that they have a shortage of Pfizer (which is the only vaccine they have been using this month) but are refusing to administer AZ. But it is still better to give AZ than not vaccinate. Maybe I've just discovered they're all raging anti-vaxxers... only going off what they told me.

Banker Posted August 8, 2021 Author Share Posted August 8, 2021 Good article showing how UK is being overtaken in vaccinations roll out but European countries who are using more of a big stick approach ie no entry without vaccinations https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/world/2021/aug/06/six-eu-states-overtake-uk-covid-vaccination-britain-rollout-slows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am 2+2, but the idea of having to prove so, every time I go somewhere makes me think, no. I cannot be bothered. I will just stay home. That is why it will not happen long term.

Doesn’t have to be long term, it’s aimed at the younger unvaccinated ones. UK will start introducing stick shortly, already started with nightclubs, theatre’s will be next , university etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only ones really at risk are those not vaccinated. It is their choice. Are you scared to go to a venue where there may be unvaccinated people? I am not. It is their decision. Their risk.

It’s not a problem for me as recently returned from visiting several towns in uk & several pubs etc. I think the government’s want more vaccinated to stop spread hence big stick, I didn’t say I agree with it but it’s coming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
