Covid restrictions - are you adhering or not?

[Noggin]

Hopefully the fact that a number of 'staff' arriving at GVA for various companies in our valley are being allowed to transit through (with proof of negative test and paperwork to show where they are going) means that of the two conflicting announcements we've seen the 'transit ok' is the winner. Here's hoping it stays that way!!!

This Moderna booster has totally knocked me on my arse, painful arm, bollock ache, and flu symptoms, I knew I should have booked it for a workday and not the weekend

I took the flu jab and pfizer booster together on Friday,similar to you it has robbed me of Friday night and all day Saturday. All good today,though.

We're back to guessing games again, will Boris change the rules again or won't he.
Flip-flopping back and forth is not going to endear him to the majority, who are about sick of it all now and just want some sort of normality back.

It's a flip-flopping virus.

And situation. I can't see how some can't grasp it's a fluid and reactive thing every day, week and month.

I'm glad that we have banned all Brits who are not vaccinated. FB has lit us with all the idiots moaning coz they can't come now

Maybe there should be a special resort for all the anti-vax brigade and the covid-deniers. Masks will be banned and covid sufferers allowed to go as well

I agree totally, but no need to repeat yourself.

That's happened a lot lately. Double postings.

It's an age thing. We will cut you some slack.

I'm ok with that, but I'm not so keen on reactions that make no sense, like allowing concerts and pubs to be rammed, but now you have to wear a face mask to go inside a shop for two minutes to buy cigarettes so you can give yourself lung cancer.

Anyone used to managing large groups of people must be looking at these decisions being made and wondering who's inventing new logic that doesn't make sense. I believe that now I can be in a crowded pub, shoulder to shoulder getting pissed up without a face mask, but if I pop into the Post Office to collect a stamp then I must wear one.

Simple and robust measures could have been put in place that would endure most fluid situations, not flip-flopping on the back foot all the time, that's just bad management.

Which sounds like lockdown that so many millions complained about?

I had the pfizer booster but not the flu on Fri as wanted to take my lad to HMS Belfast on Sat, nurse made it sound like more chance of a reaction from the flu one so I said I'd wait for that and have it later. As it was I've been fine except a very slight headache Fri/Sat

Someone at work had the Moderna and said it knocked them out.

That's the result of bad managers.
You'll remember Boris bragging about shaking everyone's hands when he made a hospital visit at the start of the pandemic.
Experts? We don't need no steenkin' experts.

10 days or so ago I flew to Istanbul. The plane was full and we had to wear masks for the whole 1 hour flight. It was no problem for me, I don't have any underlying physical or mental issues that make wearing a paper mask (which may be effective, or not) an issue.

However, the safety instructions were clearly put together by someone (maybe more than one person) who did display some mental issues. "If you are standing in the aisles you must observe 2 metres social distancing.". There was nothing lost in translation, it was perfectly clear, you can sit next to someone but if you stand in the aisles . . .

Apart from the physical impossibility of being able to stand 2 metres away from someone on a full aircraft, why does standing up require a different regulation?

It's stuff like this that encourage people to think it's all a load of bollocks and ignore the sensible stuff.

Imagine if there was no helmet law and it was brought in today. Hundreds of internet experts would be telling us that helmets will cause loads of injuries and do more harm than good.

Same with seat belts.

Just wear a mask in crowds and stop fucking whining

[Supermofo]

I took my son to London on Sat to HMS Belfast then onto the IWM in Lambeth. I didn't know but Arsenal were playing a home match at 12.30 so the train from Hertford down was packed by the time we got to Finsbury Park. I wore my mask pretty much from the time I got on the train at 10.30 to getting off the return one at 6pm. I reckon 1/3rd max were wearing masks on the trains/museums. Be interesting if people bother following the new rules cos most people aren't bothering now.

Don't know about belts, but voluntary helmet wearing was IIRC at about 95% before the legislation came in.

I know people who still think it's safer not to wear a seatbelt - just because someone they know survived a crash (possible) because they weren't wearing one!!

Anecdotal evidence for all sort of weird stuff - I worked with a lady who had a car accident - airbag went off, as expected, and the force of the shunt flipped out her contact lens, off the airbag and back into her eye, she ended up losing the eye.

So what are we meant to take from that?
