toontastic Posted May 10, 2020 Report Share Posted May 10, 2020 IF they can't develop a vaccine are we going to just go on permanent lockdown. I hear more and more people saying they shouldn't have to return to work until there's a vaccine and they should continue to receive wages (nice work if you can get it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are in the honeymoon stage and the economic impact hasn’t landed. Don't forget there are kids that need an education... The lockdown will be lifted and we have to work out what next and get back to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnily enough it was a couple of teachers who were saying they should be allowed to stay off work on full pay until a vaccine is developed. Then I saw a scientist saying that a vaccine could be anywhere between a few months to whenever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where I live mc Donald's,burger king and KFC are all adjacent. Other two opened for drive through and complete chaos. I made a mistake and got Burger King confused with McDonalds. All three are places I do not frequent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a living to make and a life to live, I'm doing both as best I can. It's not my fault I live very rurally while others don't, and I fail to see what I'm achieving by sitting at home.

Thats my outlook on it all as well . I am in a similar situation I had a mild case of C-19 just before lock down and was off for 2 weeks then back to work self isolating on site.

lancer425 Posted May 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2020 24 minutes ago, Scully said: I’m not sure why you think it’s up to me to suggest a method to bring about a reduction in infections; I’m a painter not a scientist. 🙂 I doubt there’ll be less infections until a vaccine is developed, and don’t forget we’ll have a spike to contend with when the annual flu virus hits later this year. Meanwhile I intend to get on with my life as best I can; growing hysterical isn’t going to change anything. Because scully my old mucker "sorry thats more north west than north east" . You have answers for your own life but not others. You might not infect a living soul in your work, but we are looking at 1/4 million cases nearly, and watching lifted lockdowns in other countries showing rising tolls, and yet we are contemplating lifting restrictions here and stood in lines outside B&Q . Stood next to one another buying plants and out in the sun at the coat. its frustrating to say the least. I do not want to be locked down forever, but the fact SOME are deciding no one can stop them breaking guidelines they selfishly go about their business doing what they want. We are not only looking at no end to this, but the distinctly unenviable task of, having to suffer more infections, and possibly our own safety at risk just because of a bunch of people who don’t want the government telling them what to do on a nice spring day. Sorry but call me old fissioned if you like, but i think its Wrong. That people should behave this way, we all live in this society. We are led by the government we should follow the letter of the law exactly. Not cheery pick the parts we feel palatable and ignore the rest. The number of infections could fall if we isolate, has many have been, but the fact is not all have, or have been fudging avoiding guidance because they can. Its unlikely we will all get onside with this, disappointing yes but not entirely unexpected. But really i am of the opinion "if you agree with me or not is of no consequence to me". that some of us need to try harder . We can not make it to a vaccine i doubt. So its get with the plan folks, or accept the deaths . ? I feel the latter is the way its going to go. Just not feeling the compliance / will to beat this. All said in honeyed tones in a broad Lincolnshire accent . Just in case you pin the mad professor badge on me again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pharmaceuticals. That’s about it. But then nobody will be able to afford drugs (including the NHS as nobody will be funding it) so they will crash as well.
