A couple of key points:
- If R is around 1 (as it is in the UK) then rates can increase and decrease quite significantly with small behavioural changes;
- There is a lot more randomness now given vaccination rates and prior infections;
- Given there is a non-trivial chance that things could get worse aren't sensible, proportionate measures better than the risk of harsher ones?

I make you right but I'm not hopeful as way too many ministers and MPs are following a line of "¡No masksareon!" |  |

I said on another thread, they are already indicating to us in Central Govt that working from home will be advised again from mid-November.
They'll just try and not call it Plan B for political reasons.
Too many on the right are trying to equate "wear a mask" and "WFH" as lockdown. It isn't. |  | | |

Interesting article but don’t know much about the writer/ source.
Not sure that a Covid passport would have a big impact on the entertainment industry. Went to a music show in Kings Lynn at the weekend usually a sell out but only 70% full this time.
Part of a tour and currently more shows are being postponed than going ahead. Have feeling that if people could be sure everyone there was double/ triple jabbed then numbers would be higher. Have to say numbers wearing masks in crowded areas were very low. Again if mask wearing was mandatory I’m sure more people would be less hesitant about attending.
Was sixties music show so my experience relates to just those of a certain age.
Genuinely interested in knowing how other age groups feel. |  |

The hospitality industry in Scotland is already calling for the vaccine passports to be scrapped after seeing a 40% drop in business during the first week they were implemented.
Staff are also complaining about stress after a series of incidents where people kicked off because they were refused entry. |  |

Personally, I have no issues with Covid passports or mandatory wearing of face masks in enclosed venues, shops etc. Would probably welcome that at the moment.
As a side note, was on holiday last week in Oxfordshire/Gloucestershire and the majority of people were respectful of mask wearing in the shops etc. One place even took temperature as a condition of entry. No issues and certainly not a big deal to cover up, is it. |  |
| We have no village green, or a shop.
It's very, very quiet.
I can walk to the pub. |

Plan A.12. Def info.
If anyone is equating WFH and mask wearing as a lockdown, they are feckwits! |  |

Think too many respond to peer pressure. Mates not wearing masks so I won’t. Did a weekend away couple of months ago. Numbers wearing masks were down each day/ night. Human nature I suppose.
Doesn’t help when MPs sit shoulder to shoulder in rows and very few wearing masks because they know the people near them. Really just responding to peer pressure. HoC no different than concourse at football stadium. | |
