Sorry Buddy, not a boomer, pre boomer is the trendy name I believe.
labelling a generation as indulgent is ridiculous, from all generations come stand outs who make a great contribution to our civilised world.
The 'girlies' comment was over the top for which I apologise.
However I do respect and compare the generation that had to protect us in WW2 They are owed a large thanks. From 1939-1950, they went through hell, Bombs raining down, families split up whilst Dad was fighting in far distant lands.
Compare that with the whingers who are moaning about a few months combating a virus. No comparison.
In concluding, I too feel the pain of just one child who dies of starvation when a woman of wealth recently stated she only bathed in Evian water.
By the way. Roy's a Boomer.

Oh the boomers (not every one of them obviously).

Their generation stole the very futures of the youth and then cry out in distress.....In 69 we had the Hong Kong flu which killed a million worldwide...back then I'd suggest that people 'weren't girlies' and had a more realistic view of life.

The boomers have had the best of everything and in kind raised the most incredibly selfish generation in their own image....who now steal even more from the next generation.

I obviously wish you good health, however....there is an old Greek proverb, 'society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in.'....remember that when you witness the poverty and increased starvation amongst the most vulnerable that this idiocy will cause over the coming years......because instead of care for them the old have robbed the unborn.

Well ignore that part of my post then. He couldn’t answer the question because he and they don’t know, and neither do you. And how many times have we heard about asymptomatic people spreading it?

It will be great if this isn’t an issue, and even better if the vulnerable and those with the vulnerable who think they have to take it take it willingly asap, because after all, those against shielding the vulnerable widened that number so much to the majority of the population. At that point they’ll have vaccinated enough for herd immunity.

There aren’t many adults from WWII years left unfortunately and the people most affected by all this will experience similar to post WWII. It can actually be worse as there’ll be no ‘in this together’ or ‘war spirit’ or everyone under rations. There will be plenty seriously damaged by all this while others won’t suffer any consequences whatsoever.

Teenagers won’t be vaccinated as things stand. Also I expect many young adults termed ‘super spreaders’ won’t opt to get vaccinated either.

What’s another concern is Jonathan Van Tam talking about social distancing and masks going on for years. Didn’t Boris try and shut him up on that one? I expect some wanting masks to carry on and indeed wearing them whatever.
