So you don’t have much confidence in the vaccines then? |
You need two doses of the vaccine to have good effectiveness against the Delta variant. We've only just hit 50% of the adults fully vaccinated. That's still a massive chunk with little to no protection, so it's not about not trusting the vaccines, more we still haven't done enough of them to warrant pushing for Herd Immunity. |  |

Over 15 million Over 50s in the UK....of which around 85% to 90% have been vaccinated.
Around 1.5m haven't been....and we have an variant that transmits more quickly as ever with the same level of symptoms etc.
Ask BlueBadger if he thinks the NHS can cope. |
If you're poor and/or BAME, you're less likely to be vaccinated.
It's pretty clear that anti-vaxxers target BAME groups, which could be taken to suggest anti-vaxxers are pushing an agenda of genocide by proxy. |  |

"50,000 infections a day expected by 19th July. "
time to open up then.
Seems like its back to the old herd immunity plan from the early days. |
This time last year we had just started testing 100k per day, now we are testing over 1m per day - and I am not sure that includes home tests (I don't know) which all the Lucans did yesterday.
If you are going to increase your testing by that much then you will get more cases. Hospitals are not overrun and no fecker is dying.
Time to deal with it IMHO - although I think it would have been wise to have kept masks on public transport, possibly.
If people had been asked to carry on as per now then you would have seen many summer riots.
IMHO again |  |

Wow. Hadn't quite thought of it like that and it does suggest a level of planning that I think is beyond most of the conspiracy theorists.
However, I reckon there is a big overlap between these people and those who oppose anti-racism gestures. |  |

No feckers are dieing????
The reason why their be riots is because for some reason people cant understand there is a pandemic and life needs to pause for a very small period of their lives
Unfortunately because a large majority, mainly those between 20 and 30 cant change their habits for a year or 2 to help the country get through it, we have people losing their lives just so these people can go and what... dance in a nightclub. Such a desperate requirement to be able to live.
Or the horrible thought of wearing a mask when out.
Its childish borderline pathetic that the UK and its peoples lives are being put at risk due to this majority of idiots. |  |

If it means my second year of uni is better than my first, (not that it was particularly bad, just predictably underwhelming) than I'm in favour, even if this is perhaps a slightly self-centred view.
I'll admit that I don't actually look at any covid news or numbers though, because I don't see the point in worrying myself, and I also find it really boring, so I can't really make an informed judgement. So maybe I'm wrong, idk. [Post edited 5 Jul 2021 17:59]

You guys so deserve a break.
I feel for all people whose first year at uni was to experience that.
Hopefully the next two years will make up for it somewhat although in truth you may be busier with the work than you would have been, or is that not the case? |  |

B0llocks.
Fck pinning all this on the young - poor fckers have got enough going on with job security, housing crisis, mental health, without clownshoe posts like this suggesting that all they want to do is go to nightclubs.
Everyone has suffered like fck the past 18 months; the generation you sneer at will be paying for this a lot longer than the rest of us. |  | | |

I'd have some sympathy if a very large majority of them weren't refusing vaccinations and taking the streets of london to protest against a bit of cloth over their mouths.
Yes it's been hard on plenty of people not just those young. They will however had time and opportunity to come out the other side
Those dead. Dont have the opportunity to do so | |

Yeah, that’s bollox.
The young have suffered more than any. Having massive restrictions placed upon them to protect the older generations. The older generations who got vaccinated first. They should have been isolating whilst the younger lot were vaccinated and able to work to help pay for all this.
My Mrs will still be wearing a mask, taking precautions, and avoiding large groups of people. She can’t afford to get ill when I am away and she’s got twins to look after.
I understand people’s want to return to pre-Covid times. I’ve just flown out to Uruguay. I’ve also just been notified that I was on a plane with someone who has tested positive for Covid on one of my flights. The last 2 times I have flown, I have been in close contact with someone that is positive. It doesn’t bode well for foreign holidays. |  |

You don’t think the younger generations have had to put up with a lot of restrictions?
You don’t think it would have been better to get the working population back out to work rather than everyone restricted so the older generation can be kept safe? | |

Think your losing the plot on this one tbh
The younguns have by and large followed the rules. That means that they have missed out on pubs, nightclubs, festivals, dating, travel - all the things younguns get up to. And for what? For a virus that is extremely unlikely to kill them compared to older people.
But they have done that, as well as being impacted more by the economics given they are far more likely to work in hospitality than older people. And who is going to pay for it all?
We should be thanking them for the incredible way 95% of them have behaved, not going off on one over the conduct of a few idiots. |  |

You’re rather missing the point.
The older generation, who were more at risk, had the same restrictions. They were also vaccinated first.
Tighter restrictions on them, lesser restriction on the younger generation allowing the younger generation to get back into work more quickly would have been a better way to do all this. It would have meant less damage to the economy. | |

Thanks jeera.
My degree is actually another three years so even if this year was something of a write off, I'll still hopefully have a decent amount of time to do uni properly and all that. My seminars during the Autumn semester were actually in person, so I guess I'm one of the slightly luckier ones in that regard, in that I didn't feel like it was completely pointless me being in Sheffield. |  |

Really don't agree with this. As is pretty much always the case, the younger age groups are the easy target without any obvious justification for being so, I get fed up of hearing it.
The biggest reason for cases being on the rise is due to govt policy (had we red listed travel to and from India a couple of weeks earlier, as suggested, the extent of the spread of the delta variant could well have been avoided and we could well have been in a position to lift restrictions last month. The route cause of last year's situation was due to confusing rules and hesitancy to implement restrictions. Many younger workers had to go out and work during the lockdown due to their sick pay and the basic need to put food on the table. Not to mention the GCSE/ A level students who have had their immediate career and academic ambitions dashed by the algorithm fiasco last year) [Post edited 5 Jul 2021 22:06]

Indeed. There is nothing more the Government would like than for the blame to be laid at the door of those who didn't follow the rules. The lack of following the science from the rule makers and the clear willingness of them to break the rules and not care are the bigger issue. There are Covidiots among all age groups. They don't help but they are not the root cause of the problem. | |

In the interest of balance and consistency, it's fair to say every age group has had people who have behaved irresponsibly. Some of the worst culprits have been the ones telling us what we should do or the advisers to them (a la Cummings/ Hancock), and frankly that has not helped matters.
Ultimately cases are not spreading world wide purely because of one specific age category, as tempting as it is for some to jump onto an overly recycled and completely predictable narrative. [Post edited 5 Jul 2021 22:21]

I was surprised at quite how pissed off I felt today in the local pet food shop when a 70 something waltzed in maskless to be served by 2 masked youngsters...the look one of them shot her suggests they were none too impressed either. |  |
