Interestingly we regularly have people stopping and telling us "I agree with you, good on you!". Most significantly one of our postman, both of his parents having died of cancer. He's very cynical about all this obsession with Covid.

What has your postman’s parents dying of cancer got to do with Covid?

Ok. It's just that usually when you swear it's because you appear angry at something that's been posted. 

Have fun 👍

Chekhov said : Plan B was not needed, that is self evident.

Many of us said so at the time, i.e. without the benefit of hindsight.

And you said so without having any grounds or knowledge or foresight at the time you said it.

So what?

There were plenty of grounds for saying it, that's why I said it. Briefly :

 

1 - the vaccines work well at preventing serious illness with all known variants and pretty much all our vulnerable had been double vaccinated, many triple vaccinated.

2 - South Africa reported it was milder

3 - Omicron was reputed to be highly infectious so any of the suppression measures which would actually fly (practically speaking) were a  waste of time.

 

I said it all here on UK Business Forums (note the date), I would have thought I said it on here but cannot find it :

 

Dec 16, 2021
Omicron may be the end game for Covid. Think about it :

Worst case : If Omicron really is far more infectious - as it appears to be - but just as deadly as Delta (though the vaccines and previous infections still prevent most serious illness) we would just have to accept it because we cannot do anything about it short of a full lockdown which would probably still not work but which will never fly again anyway, so we may as just get back to normal.

So, as regards trying to suppress Covid in any significant way, it's over.

On the other hand, if it turns out to be significantly less infectious then two things result
1 - People won't take any notice of those crying wolf next time, so it's over
2 - It will be a God send : natural infection immunity (or increased immunity after a vaccine) at low risk, so it's over.

You've probably already said but what is it your shop sells? 

We sell aerials, poles brackets etc, almost all by mail order. Much of what we sell is quite specialised, in some of it cannot be purchased anywhere else.

Thus pretty much anything I put on my shop will have very little effect on our business. BUT, in actual fact, probably 50% (or more), agree with it anyway, so for every person who might think I'm not going to buy from him because of that, there will be just as many saying the opposite, they'd be more likely to buy from us !

It doesn't matter anyway, I am so ****ing angry about how the government and the media have tried to frighten everyone and forced draconian mandates on us all. Someone, anyone, in any way, has to give the other side.
