Last September we had a couple of positive case's who's wives told them to stay in the Mess and not come home to isolate. within three days they'd pretty much pinged the whole corridor and the rooms above/below them ended up taking out about 30 people from the camp 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Rishworthian 166 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Now down to 23,500 infections today we'll see how it all plays out and how each factor affected it but not for a while yet. I'd be happy if the rate of fall slowed and we got close to plateauing and then dropped again. I might be very happy then as we might well be on the way to the so called new-normal Link to post Share on other sites

I might be very happy then as we might well be on the way to the so called new-normal Now that restrictions are basically all off, I think we can expect infections to spike again and remain fairly high...at least until the younger folks get vaccinated. They're now trying to roll out jabs to 16-17 year olds, but when I went for my 2nd jab the nurse said they aren't seeing many younger people. There appears to be a certain amount of resistance in that age group. I think infection rates are less of a worry, as long as hospitalisations and deaths decrease / remain low. The latter seems to be bouncing around a bit lately. Some days its only 20-30 and others its around 100. Could it be a coincidence that the generation that grew up with social media is the most resistant to getting vaccinated? When you read some of the misinformation (and outright garbage) that is doing the rounds, it does make you worry. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-58164833 When a movie writer has to defend one of his film's plots against anti-vaxxer conspiracies, you know the world is in trouble.

I don’t think resistance is the right word, but more apathy. It doesn’t really threaten them the way it does other age groups. When I asked my very soon to be 17yr old son if he’s gonna get his jabs, he replied “Nah, even if I get it the chances are I’ll be fine”. He soon changed his tune when I said he can stay with his mother while me and his sister fly out on holiday tho. And after a mature chat about it’s not for him, or me or his sister. But more his nana & granddad and his great grandmother he much more onside now 4 Link to post Share on other sites

Edit - What I really mean is that if the parents haven't bothered getting the jab, then the chances of their kids having it is highly unlikely. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Will 2,958 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 @Dynamo Kev will keep it in the right place. You will also find literally thousands of times more scientists, doctors, virologists who totally support vaccines. Why are you choosing to believe a tiny minority? As for why I care? Because you choosing not to be vaccinated doesn't only affect you. If you also spread misinformation like Lyle Taylor then to be completely honest, I see you as a morally reprehensible 🛎️end.
