The Coronavirus Thread

[Brian Peacock]

UK cases have jumped by c.70% in the last seven days. Government say lifting the last of the legal restrictions on June 21, dubbed 'Freedom Day' by the press, is inevitable.

I suspect that this is similar to when the board of a football club say the manger has their full support after a series of losses shortly before firing him.

We are under officially 100 per 100,000 new cases per day. More restrictions are being lifted.

We are having around 4 cases per day in a state with a population of over 6 and a half million. Restrictions may be ended by Friday. Perhaps...

That is bloody stupid. How is your vaccination rate? We have the risk groups(over 60's) vaccinated almost 100%. For the rest it is 70% first jab and 40% second but this will be nearer 60% by the end of this week. Of course this does not include the anti-vaxxers.

That is bloody stupid. How is your infection rate compared to Oz?

2.2%

Yes, I know, captain obvious.

...or people who refuse to wear masks and social distance.

The Dutch Constitution protects your right to be stupid.

I've already commented that we were very slow off the blocks, for a variety of reasons, which reflect poorly on our politicians. Rates of vaccination, particularly in Victoria, have greatly increased, and I'm hopeful that further lockdowns may be avoided...

I thought that Jim. Vaccination is the only way out.

My wife went and got her second and remarked it was extremely busy due to people coming along without an appointment. The trouble is holidays. Testing is not quite sufficient and risky if you go away for a month which is common here. Not so much with package holidays but caravan and travel trips which tend to be open ended.
For the under 60's one shot is now considered enough now. The centres are not turning them away but fitting them in which means they have to wait for a slot which happens very quickly.

[Brian Peacock]

Blair is banging on again about an international Covid pass that officially recognises one's vaccine status. I'm beginning to wonder if somebody is paying him to repeat this elitist guff.

[Cunt]

Vaccine passports are already a thing. Better get used to it.

[NineBerry]

According to my international vaccination passport, I've had it since I was 6 months old. That's why it looks quite shabby.

With the rdmaining population refusing to vaccinate themselves or their kids, we will be running this 8 cases a day week after week.

California's just fudging the numbers, probably some others over there doing it too...
