Coronavirus - Part Two.

No I agree -  I was referring to people in the former circumstance rather than the latter.

But it's a fair comment. Nobody died because they didn't have a fortnight in Benidorm.

Exactly - I would however  have sympathy for anyone struggling for refunds for holidays booked before the pandemic - as the other poster suggested.

Really wish people would just stop moaning about not going abroad. 

You do realise people go abroad for reasons other than holidays.

 

What about all those who have family or other relatives who they have been  cut off from for potentially over a year.   What about those who have businesses or properties or other interests abroad which needs attending to and they've all been suspended because of the restrictions.

 

What about all those thousands of people directly or indirectly employed or financially committed to the travel industry. Airlines, hotels, tour operators, resorts or even in some places entire towns who have been crippled by the restriction.

 

Maybe try looking at the bigger picture.  Just remember that the lockdowns and the recent deployment of the vaccine was not and is never about immunity from coronavirus. It was always about reducing the burdens on the hospitals and reducing the numbers of deaths.

 

Nobody has ever said that coronavirus will go away. Nobody is ever said that nobody will ever get ill from it again. It might be with us for the rest of eternity. Just like other viruses.

 

Just how long you think it's appropriate for the world to stop?

From what I have read in the past new variants will naturally spring up quicker because of the vast population we have in the world. They may be more contagious but it is thought that they generally do less harm and we may actually end up with some in the future that are no worse that just having a cold. BTW they may not necessarily have been brought into the country as its natural for variants to occur anywhere.

Yes - surely the ideal is a variant to emerge that is more transmissible but less dangerous.

Apparently Jeremy Corbyn is still refusing to admit or deny as to having his Covid vaccination.

 

If you want to speculate on how the pandemic would have played out under Corbyn's Labour government, give that some thought.

Wow.  You really are clutching at straws, aren't you?

 

Shagger Boris won't confirm or deny how many kids he's fathered, but funnily enough, that didn't stop him becoming PM 🤣

And that has what to do with coronavirus.....

About as little as Corbyn confirming or denying whether or not he's been vaccinated

The deflection is strong here isn't it, that's two threads you've replied to now with some 'what about Boris' reply.

 

The point is that Corbyn is the elected MP for a constituency that has one of the lowest vaccine rates in the country; if your local MP won't confirm he's had the vaccine, then what does that say to those that refuse it?

 

And yes; if in some dream world he'd ever been PM, can you imagine him still refusing to say if he'd had the jab?
