Fuck, that's depressing.

Still, good someone is pointing out that it's not a case of 2 vaccines and off you go. By August it will have been several months since many vulnerable people's 2nd jab and they will already need to return for boosters ahead of winter.

A prof at the uni where i worked is recovering from horrendous covid illness. Double vaxxed, under 60

Chedney Honks

Hope it's not that bad because I cbf getting a booster.

Watching debate on BBC News. Lots of Tory MPs saying why they will vote against the extension and making cheap party political comments.

Not many ministers on the front bench

Fambo Number Mive

Extension went through 461 to 60

Shoulders?-Stomach!

Over 9,000 cases today which will be in the top 10 globally, I think. Keep an eye on hospital numbers but if they do start to jump we are going back to April rules let alone opening everything up.

The DUP were split on this like the Tories, with two DUP MPs voting for the extension and five against. Sausages Wilson voted against.

sadly I think you're sort of right. securing people's consent for another will be v difficult. "I've had my two jabs, sod the rules". boomers gonna boom.

I'm going to a fucking WEDDING next weekend. not one of these intimate small ones either now the limit on numbers has increased. no singing or drinking/eating upright. gonna be fucking weird

George Oscar Bluth II

Have to say, if you'd have told the govt and the behavioural scientists back in March 2020 that the upper limit for people's tolerance for controls was somewhere around June/July 2021 they'd have been aghast. It's lasted far longer with far better adherence than anyone expected.

Even now the no mask cunts and the denier cranks are a minority but I get a real feeling people, normal people who have been wearing masks and not seeing their friends and so on have had it.

Hospital numbers don't work by consent. If it rages it rages, so you either protect the NHS and the vulnerable or learn what a real fuckdown looks like.

Consent will come by virtue of the circumstances presented, see January if in doubt. See Bovine masses if still in doubt.

Also, shitloads of cases increase the chances of further vaccine escaping variants. There are no palatable options, only the least shitty.

Oh the evidence from Sweden is that a good % of the population lock themselves down regardless of what the govt say and that'll happen if things get worse here, but the days of the govt telling us to do it are done.

I can kinda understand people being a bit pissed off right now but I sense a lot of it is coming from a fear that this will bleed into the far side of summer and then a rush of restrictions to try and "save Christmas" only for a Christmas exemption period to result in another 4-5 months of restrictions.

I can't see them increasing restrictions again from where they're at now unless it's to do with children going back to school after the break.

Yeah it's done. "I got mine (vaccine) so sod the lot of you".

Seriously doubt anywhere in the west has the political will to lockdown again - at this point we are getting our shots and taking our chances, delta variant or not.

Don't know what the alternative is though. It's all fucked. Entering TOTAL FUCKDOWN.

If the equivalent happens in the UK I will eat my collection of baseball caps.

Sorry, will try to post more like you

QuoteSeriously doubt anywhere in the west has the political will to lockdown again -

It's not about political will, it's about actual present reality in terms of icu numbers, beds etc. The red line has been ensuring the health service doesn't collapse and will continue to be. Clearly there will be a degree of denial and dismay in the public and probably government to contend with.

I certainly hope it won't be necessary and certainly hope the tide turns against the Tories if it does.
