I'm not saying we will avoid lockdown by canceling the 5 days of Xmas, but pretty sure we will kill less grandparents. sadly i think theres far too many jingoists out there that would rather die than miss a good old patriotic British Christian tradition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redruby Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Apparently some experts think people mixing at Christmas will be offset by schools and some workplaces being closed. I hope these aren’t the same experts that said kids don’t spread covid and going to work is ok because workplaces are ‘covid secure’ 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real experts would look at where the vast majority of transmissions come from, if its schools and they are shut fair enough, but if its friends and family indoors then we are up the creek. Like pubs, instead of showing the scientific data for shutting pubs etc Hancock the other day started dribbling about care homes and tough decisions. Me thinks there isnt scientific data to show pubs should be shut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiffRaff Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Have you noticed that nobody has even mentioned New Year's Eve as regards the celebrations yet? Let's face it, if Christmas is meant for kids, NYE is primarily an adult job... Given we're losing about 2500 people a week at present, how's about circa 75k by the middle of January if the suspected/threatened case increase is right?

Mister M Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 I just wished the Government's advice on Christmas was 'We've already got a vaccine that's being rolled out to the most vulnerable. Let's postpone the get togethers that usually happen at this time of year, and instead protect the NHS and save lives." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are as a result prevented from working who is going to provide care for the most vulnerable elderly people who have already been let down so badly? Also who gives informed consent for those deemed incapable of making their own decisions? If family decline vaccination will care homes have to ‘evict’ vulnerable residents?
