[Misc] COVIDIOTS hot spots

[Mellotron]

Till they know for sure if the vaccine cuts transmission it’s still silly, they could pick it up and take it back to the care home / pass it on.

I wouldn't categorise it as silly myself, as that is being a bit too flippant about a really, really serious situation imo.

Wise? Perhaps not. But understandable, is all I'm saying.

The vaccinated need to be given some surety and soon, otherwise this is only going to become a bigger issue in the coming weeks. People who were vaccinated quite a long time ago now, feeling they're no closer to seeing loved ones, aware of their own mortality. It's an absolutely horrible situation and I feel simply branding these people "silly" is far too simplistic a way of looking at the situation.

Exactly ..”understandable” is the word....lot of finger wagging by people that seem to be oh so perfect people...and I’m not referring to KB

 

[LamieRobertson]

This as well

We have people being fined for driving to the beach atm - we either have rules or we don’t.

But I think this shows the Government may well lose control at some point

I blame Churchill

 

[LamieRobertson]

I doubt many of those doing the meeting are escaping from care homes. It's all the old buggers in the garden centres

Oi...I was in one yesterday

Surely if they're vulnerable they'll already have support bubbles in place (allowed under the rules), or if they live alone can similarly have them? Plus the rules are only in place as they are for a few more weeks until the 29th March, then outdoor meeting becomes permitted (IIRC).

My viewpoint is simply that I would struggle to look negatively on - say - a 91 year old wanting to see a favourite niece or nephew one last time, or hold their grandchild just once.

Is it against the rules? Potentially, yes. Am I going to judge them for it? No. That's literally all I'm saying.

Cheeky bugger

Of course I should have added that it was for essential work purposes ...by the way where is my

It is a complex situation, but it has been for the past year.

It has to be the same rules across the board till the rules are lifted.

What’s to stop a vaccinated 30 year old visiting anyone?

My point still comes from a more sentimental place.

A 91 year old is far, far, far more likely to die in the next 6 months than a 30 year old.

I'm not saying what I think the rules should or shouldn't be - I'm simply saying I would find it very cold to judge situations like a 91 year old wanting to hold their grandchild just once before they die.

 

[dsr-burnley]

I dare say a fair few of these old people on visits, are visiting other old people who they haven't seen for a year, and who have also been vaccinated. So they aren't really in danger of spreading much at all.

No cake in the care home

No..some guy driving back from his Mums over the weekend nicked it

Covidiots are:
- people wearing masks when they are on their own in a car
- people wearing masks walking along the promenade without another person in sight
- people riding bicycles wearing masks
- people who cower into a hedgerow when passing you on a country footpath

These people will never feel it's ok to stop wearing masks. They will be permanently scared to death. Good luck to them trying to deal with normal life.These idiots are the real Covidiots.

I've found that wearing a mask has a significant warming effect on a freezing cold night. I recommend it.

Very harsh.

Pfft wimp

 

[Mellotron]

Serious question - does anyone here wear a mask when driving a car on their own? I see it so often and it completely baffles me. To me that's not risk assessment, that's just oddball behaviour.

Anyone help me understand this one?
