:D I’ve bought into it, big time :D

I’ve only checked briefly, but I’m pretty sure your reply bears no relation whatsoever to my original post. I’ll check again later just to confirm.

It’s too late. Everyone thinks it’s already over. The vaccine has been the magic bullet that has seen off coronavirus. To be fair to these idiots (who make up a large section of the U.K. population), the government has not done enough reinforce the message regarding the danger which is still...

Great news. I’m pleased it’s going smoothly.

Three of my neighbours are in their mid 90s and still very mobile & active. All three are keen gardeners and are out most days, bending, reaching, and stretching as they work. That must be doing them some good. The age is probably genetic, but the quality of life they enjoy must be due in part...

That’s it exactly. Money making is the only priority. Wringing every last drop of cash, no matter what the damage is all that matters. Some of the players are scum too. Surrounding referees to intimidate them, unsportsmanlike behaviour, antics off the field. Premiership clubs have absolutely...

I hope it goes ahead, fails and kills off professional football. I hate everything about it.

Say you go to the greengrocer at 08:00 am in the morning and buy some carrots. If Mrs Grayson then rolls up at 4:00 pm and can’t decide if she wants carrots or parsnips, or even if she wants any carrots at all, she can’t then complain when the grocer has sold out.

It’s inevitable that Infections, hospitalisations and deaths will rise with each easement. It’s by how much though. What price for releasing lockdown?

Infection rate down, hospitalisations down, daily deaths down. That’s what the single dose strategy was intended to do. It’s done it. It’s a successful and ingenious strategy.

So what you are saying is, the scientific community used their expertise to develop a strategy which they then recommended to the government who implemented it. I didn’t say anything different. You chose to introduce jelly and ice cream.

The TSIW will bankrupt them within 2 years. Where will the money come from?

You missed out the fact we abused the EU by using 21 million doses from them and sent them none at all So you can, to a large degree thank the EU for that rather than waving your Union Jack. And as to this "The death rates in the UK at present would have been astronomical." The lockdown stopped...

I am now able to share with you all some exciting news. I’ve been shortlisted for the vacant post of Duke of Edinburgh! I’m just waiting for @wheeler to provide me with a character reference.

There is an underlying thread here of on one hand being grateful for handouts from a government and the other of resentfulness. Both are basically childish. The Government in any Western Democracy exists to serve the will of the people. So we do not need to be greatful to a Government for...

My goodness, you really do hate the U.K. I’d underestimated the depth of your resentment and your ill feelings towards the country you reside in. A country you were happy to accept your vaccination from, whilst simultaneously denying it to an EU citizen. As you suggest. These people are here...

You know that full vaccination wasn’t the strategy, it was reducing deaths and hospitalisation. That’s happened. It’s worked. Success. Hooray! The path taken by many EU nations, which is opposite to the U.K. (they are concentrating on two doses to half the number of people) hasn’t worked...

I made my second appointment at the time of making the first. It was dead easy. A neighbour had a similar situation to you. Phoned the GP surgery, jabbed the following day. Job done. TheUK’s vaccination programme is a marvellous triumph. However, it does require the person to set aside their...
