A friend of the family (early 60s) had the jab recently, and the same day his son decided to see that as the green light to just carry on as normal again and see his mates. Fast forward 10 days later and the son, my mate, his wife, and the daughter all have it. They're pretty bad, in bed all day basically, with the exception of the daughter.

There is something especially cruel about getting ill shortly after you've been vaccinated, and especially dim in exposing a loved one to such a situation through selfishness and ignorance. This no doubt isn't a typical example, but goes to show what the consequences can be of "I'm alright, Jack" behaviour. Hopefully the vaccine will be steering us in the right direction soon anyway though regardless.

check out some pics on t***ter rudi, being outside is ok as long as your not sitting in each others pocket. 1m plus is not being adhered to. Amounts of people not being adhered to. These are the rules and 1000s are breaking them. Youngsters are going into hospital next as the virus will need hosts and the older ones will have protection. An extended lockdown is coming im afraid!

Why are so many people losing their sh*t over a few crowds in parks. Did they not see the articles published recently dispelling the myths surrounding the 'super spreader' beaches from last summer? Surely this is the same thing?

Here's a quote from the article if you don't have the time to read it:

“We have known for some time that only about 10% of transmission events are linked to outdoor activities,” said Dr Müge Çevik, a lecturer in infectious diseases and medical virology at the University of St Andrews.

'These are the rules'.

Listen to yourself Cryrst.

You have accepted the premise that the government get to tell you how to live your life and you insult those who don't agree.

'Who are you and how did you get in here? I'm a locksmith. And, I'm a locksmith.' (Leslie Nielsen)

I suppose as soon as THEY say it’s safe then it’s do as you like. Do you honestly believe a word that comes out of their mouths? They are making it up as they go along.
