    BIllyD got a reaction from Rampage in Louie Sibley   
    Nowhere in that article does it suggest any club is interested in Sibley ?

    BIllyD got a reaction from kash_a_ram_a_ding_dong in The coronabrexit thread. I mean, coronavirus thread   
    The vaccine does prevent transmission. Both the moderna and Pfizer vaccines are 90% effective at preventing transmission after 2nd dose and 80% after 1st dose, AZ slightly less I believe.
    Not just your post, but people are too happy to give their opinion on what should or shouldn't be done without even knowing what they are talking  about. 
    I'm not sure if the list is correct or not, but the biggest risk to the country is the people who aren't vaccinated, there is no doubt about that. The argument about the under 50s being at little risk is true, but once again it's around the ones that have underlying health issues that do not know and limiting the number of hosts to stop the virus evolving.
     
    Anyone been to Brighton, ID is needed to go into any pub and this is recorded, they then have a record of you in case any trouble happens, really can't see the issue of producing an app showing that you don't have the virus or not in the short term to stop transmission ?‍♂️.

    40 million possible hosts, only 3k ICU beds is one risk, the other is the country being overrun again with cases and the virus mutates, vaccine becomes ineffective etc.
    My own opinion is that it even without the passports we would be fine, but it seems a "better safe than sorry" approach is being taken.

    Not sure to be honest, I think with a pre season in place this squad should finish mid table. With a couple of additions, then the play offs could be a possibility, not because we are a good team but the standard of this league is poor, confidence is a massive factor.

    All I was doing was pointing out the utter futility of the perpetual "Restrictions did more harm than good" argument without even making an attempt to quantify - or even qualify - the statement. The fact that people still subscribe to the "We've heard enough from experts, my ignorance is just as valid as their knowledge" school of thought will continue to exasperate me - otherwise we'd probably get on fine.

    It's also not just you, is it ? If they bring in any passport, which they won't, but if they did, this is still only a few that have the required 2 shots along with the required timeframe for them to be fully covered. 
     
    Another story that has been twisted for me, going from if pubs wanted to do it, to being mandatory and the government have got it in for the young and they will have to sit inside whilst the oldies party like it's 1999 ?

    I'm hoping that staying at home - or at least wearing a mask - if you are in any way unwell (think head colds, bad coughs, winter snuffles etc) becomes the 'new normal'.

    Maybe they did....maybe the goal is to actually increase the uptake of people getting the vaccine, rather than actually going ahead with it  ?

    Whilst there maybe an element of jingoism from some people, the pro-EU/anti-Brexit agenda still exudes from others.
    Regardless of any politics for once we were ahead of the game with this one and for the EU to threaten to block vaccine exports to the UK - a vaccine that we not only helped to fund but also ordered in bulk early is disgusting.
    A French grandma dying through EU incompetence is unfortunate, a UK grandma dying because a readily available vaccine is being held up at the border because of politics is I repeat, disgusting.

    They have resumed though have they, Finland, Denmark, Sweden and Norway have still to resume. It's also not the first time either is it, It was banned in over 55s for what reason ? It's now been banned in the under 55s for what reason ?
    You say fake data, but none has been released that shows anything that associated blood clots to the vaccine, even the EMA said this, so if ask you what data has been released that justifies the pausing of the programme ?
    My own view is that authorities in certain geographies may be looking for someone to blame for a poor rollout. When one of your main members drop out of your programme and are doing so well in their vaccination programme, suddenly people start looking in your direction and these events against one one of the vaccines and not the other make me think that is more based on politics than "data".
