Coronavirus - how is it/has it affected you?

[Ethan]

Don't be so judgemental casting blame. Pathetic. If you are referring to the first lockdown even the government medical advise at the time said ok to go the Cheltenham and sporting events etc. I am not commenting on this stage - hindsight is easy to say we were too late so we can park that. I also would not defend the disater of test and trace - would have far prefered using some of that money supporting the vulnerable and not spending billions on consultants

I have been asking if you would enlighten us with your wisdom and tell us exactly what you meant earlier about what we should have been doing in this latest omicrom phase over the past month (rather than trying to blatantly bash the government or bring up your favourite B word) or so that you said we have messed up by being too open? And why we still need a big brother to tell us what, when and how when we are where we are with the vaccines, natural immunity, new medicines like the antivirals, lessons learnt over the past 2 years, the milder symptoms from omicrom, the fact that we cannot properly contain further infections and that herd immunity is the only real way forward. And nice to see how well Sweden performed in your previous chart!

Can you explain to me what you think herd immunity is?

Would suggest ordering online https://www.gov.uk/order-coronavirus-rapid-lateral-flow-tests

They come in and out of stock.

Oh, I know what it is. I don't think you do.

And the question was not what is herd immunity, which is ggogleable. It was what does Paul Nash think herd immunity is, which probably isn't.

Thats the ones I did.it sends a code. Tells you where the nearest place is and when you get there, they have none.?
Joking aside we have been to the local chemist 3 times and they have never let us down. It was the local chemist that sent us to the stags. ?

Well, PNW proposed herd immunity was the answer to Covid, part of the learn to live with it delusion.

I was interested to know what he thinks that actually means.

I am fairly sure it does not mean what he thinks it does.

Am sure all those that think that COVID is a load of “ two balls in a bag”, and we should be “ getting on with life”. won’t mind covering a shift or two. ??

Thats fair enough, my response was aimed at PNW, had to include yours for context

Approximately 1 million now in isolation......that's a big chunk of the workforce.
