I dunno about that, but I'm starting to suspect that Mrs Wolfie is a grade A prankster and I salute her ?

good job we're not an isolated island nation who chose to decouple from a large trading bloc of countries then....oh

Quite right.
My dad (double jabbed & long time lurker on here) currently has Covid, which we think he must have picked up at Pride Park last Wednesday. He's had flu symptoms since Saturday night but is now getting better. He's more vulnerable than I am, so for me it has just underlined it that I'm not prepared to live in fear any more. Imperfect logic maybe but there you are.
I very rarely wear a mask nowadays but do occasionally take a test - most recently last night, having had a non-typical headache (for me) all day, and wanting to go to the gym.
Get well soon, Pop

I think that's frowned upon, isn't it? ?

I'm still wearing a mask on public transport and in shops, but you're right - since it stopped being policed people have largely given up, and I think there is almost an embarrassment factor now when you're one of the few wearing one.
If anyone gives you grief for it though, just lower your mask and tell them you are wearing it for their benefit as your wife has covid, you don't feel well and you're on you're way to get tested ?

That's simply not the Derby way

I'm up to date on Money Heist and I've just finished Squid Game.
I don't understand how people can watch dubbed versions of movies/tv shows, they sound completely awful and ruins the experience.
On Squid Game, thought it was fantastic. 9/10

What has my vaccination status got to do with having opinions on a forum?

I have been to two indoor gigs in the last couple of weeks. Relatively small venues, 200-300 attendees at both. Nobody wearing masks including myself. I recognise it a risk, but taken the view that I am vaccinated and that life is for the living. Of all things in these COVID times live music is what I have missed most. 

You seem a little prickly still. just quoted some salient facts.  
It is obvious that we have cocked this up. A public inquiry next year would be good. Hold people to account, learn from mistakes,
In the meantime, compulsory mask wearing on public transport would be a start. 
 

ooooh Bit defensive aren't we? 
Perhaps it's an indication we could have done something different. Perhaps shown some of the caution many on here wanted.
Perhaps stuck with masks on public transport. Maybe not sent kids back to school for 1 day in January, relaxed school rules 1 week before the 6 week hols. offered teens vaccines 3 weeks before school returned not 3 weeks after. Just little things.
There is plenty of scope between lockdown and the poo show we have now.  

Germany death rate highest of the rest. About 75% less  per capita

hence boosters
Anyway - none of that changes the argument that vaccinations DO suppress the virus (regardless of how long that suppression lasts)
That was the only point I was trying to make.

For those with rusty German like me, "Tag der Einheit" is German Unity Day - a bank holiday for celebrating the reunification of East and West Germany
The Travel Agent is suggesting that people can celebrate by taking a nostalgic trip to the UK so that our empty supermarket shelves can make them relive the "good old days" of East Germany
