A slippery slope to what, businesses able to open up more freedom to do things, less jobs lost, less deaths, …

Not many control or safety features are 100%, they reduce and in combination reduce to a level that is as low as reasonably practicable.
Vaccines are part of the solution, an asymptotic person vaccinated or unvaccinated can pass in the virus, but a vaccinated person is significantly less likely, if exposed, to catch the disease, so less likely to pass on the virus.

Does that mean shutting the hospitals for two months too, and the power stations, emergency services, safety staff at nuclear reactors, etc….

Thought this thread was about entry requirements to Selhurst Park re vaccinations etc? Isn't there a separate thread on 'Covid'?

This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise.

Aha, scrolled back & have now seen it, thanks ME, guess others can't be bothered to take notice.

Fear is so useful isn't it.

I’m 54, just getting over COVID - tested positive 3 weeks ago despite being double jabbed..!!

Having been through it what I can tell you is that despite being double jabbed it’s still debilitating - the cough is a nightmare, strained all my stomach and back muscles, loss of taste and smell is horrible - you can also taste the virus - best way to describe it is it’s like bread on the turn - yeasty taste..!!

Then it’s the lethargy - you just have no energy - everything is a real effort - and when you do something simple like cutting the grass - you’re totally knackered..!!

My view of this is that this is a global pandemic - the only way out of it is initially vaccination - then once that’s complete/everyone that is prepared to accept the vaccination then you open up society knowing full well that even double vaccinated people like me will contract COVID - but that establishes “herd immunity” - which ultimately is the only way out of this.

Vaccinations as reported have limited immunity life spans - hence we’re looking at boosters - but what ever way you look at its a preventative patch rather than being a/the cure.

There’s an element of survival of the fittest - that’s the bit that IMO that isn’t being communicated and there’s still a long way to go..!!!

IMO - those not taking up vaccinations are not just putting themselves and others at risk but are also prolonging this process and our way out of this.

So after being offered a vaccination and then making a conscious decision not to to accept it then finding yourself disadvantaged - your choice led you to that position - so don’t moan/ bleat about it - you had/still have the choice..!!

This is a global pandemic that still has some time to run - until such time that herd immunity is attained.

In the immediate future, cases, hospitalisation and deaths will rise. Beyond that flu will become more of a problem as we move into the autumn - there’s been reduced social interaction over the last 18 months - so there will be new flu variants.

All this means we will probably see some restrictions reintroduced over the autumn months - forefront of which will be “COVID passports” - that much is clear..!!

Bottom line is that this has a way to run yet I’m afraid..!!

COYP

the only BS is from people thinking this will all go away if they continue saying yes to the gov.
