Winterlockdown
Jump to: Newest in thread
I dont think there will be a full lockdown but after seeing how much social distancing and masks helped prevent so much other sickness ( ie flu, norovirus etc) over the last winter... I would expect masks and hand washing etc and maybe even social distancing to be enforced over the winter period
Hopefully this will have taught us not to go into work with things like flu, colds etc.... as it really helped last year. |

Yes
Let's all wear masks every winter. Maybe all year round, just to be sure.
Oh, wait, it's a dumb idea. |

That's entirely your choice.
I wont be, thanks. Neither will the majority, regardless of any daft regulations.
Exposure to 'nasties' is very important for the general development and maintenance of the immune system.
Mandatory masks can be a useful tool as a short term measure. There is no place for them to be forced long term in a civilised society.
And Boris can say what he wants about lockdowns. I wont be missing another family Christmas under any circumstances. |

People are fed up of the bullshit. Have you been on a train recently? Mask wearing is less than 25%
Vaccination levels are already high - by winter further restrictions will not be tolerated. |

"It’s not Covid that they are worried about this winter, it’s influenza and other regular respiratory infections."
So all the stuff that is 'normal' then. It's never been an issue before and isn't now.
Anyone who wants to wear masks, keep there distance of live in an underground bunker is free to do so. The rest of us will crack on. |

Hmmmmmm influenza never an issue? So what was Spanish flu? That wasn't an issue no? Any "normal" virus can become an issue if it mutates in a way that is advantageous to its transmission even more so if it has a nicely balanced mortality rate aswell or vaccine resistance, it's not a case of living in bunkers at all, as for the mask wearing and distancing from others it's quite nice to not have people coughing their germs all over the place and getting in my personal space without permission it's done wonders for keeping rude people away from me so I am more than happy for that to stay. |

Yup they blame the government for their inability to even wash their hands properly I mean come on people we were taught this as small children (well I was anyway) I never thought the government would have to tell people how to wash their hands  |

Who's blamed the government for their own handwashing or lack of?
I've literally seen noone.
Most people don't need teaching how to wash their hands. |

Yay!this is kind of okay for me at least. My jobI have alrrady been told is going to continue working from home. So another lockdown isnt going to make much difference tbh
Iknow it probably wont suit everyone of course.
Who really likes going out in the winter anyway ? Nothing like being warm and cozy in the darker months instead of commuting for hours in the dark and cold.. Or even trying to enjoy yourself freezing in a beer garden again
I shall be Sawing and Chopping up a little additional wood for the log burner store over rhe coming weeks.. Think that is on the jobs list.. |

There's been scientific studies carried out and one fact I recall was that in some mens loos the numbers of germs on door handles indicated that less than one in five users were actually washing their hands after using the facilities.. |

I was in the gents the other night. One guy had a pee then walked over to hand dryer and dried his hands without bothering to wash them.
Maybe he thinks dyson dryers are that good. |

which is why it would be beneficial to wear masks still on public transport or places that require them now.
I certainly would be even if they didnt have it as mandatory but then I've been wearing one long before people needed telling to as was in Europe particularly Italy when covid first hit |

Its because of selfiah anti vaxers, especially the ones who arent getting it not becauae of health reasons but because are being aksed and for some reason translate this to controlling us, yeah because of YOU my brother cant get on with his life beacuse your all too selfish to see the greater good YOU can do for many by do the simplist of things. My brother has so much with his cerebral palsy, learning difficulties, spastic quadriplegic amd top it off fighting bladder cancer so to say he high risk is no lie. He had his jabs. But becauae of YOU he still cant go far as YOU can still have it and not know it. YOU can still pass that to my brother. YOU can still make him ill. YOU can still kill him. But ill tell him he cant go out as his life means jack shit and cant go back to anywhere near normal beacuae YOU wont wear a mask |

It's seen as common curtesy in places like Japan. If you have cold/flu symptoms, but must leave the house, then wear a mask to reduce the infection of others. |

well folks, the choice is all yours. Spend the rest of your lives in and out of lockdown, being grateful for a few little freedoms, whilst they look down on you with contempt and travel everywhere, have parties in Cornwall booze ups at Ascot or you can grow a pair stand up and say NO MORE. Two little words and the whole charade is over !!!

Yup which is why they had better control of this from the start, mask wearing is normalised to an extent so you don't get the whole face nappy bitching an whinging about it being an erosion of freedom by evil governments and you have better control of viral transmission which is always good. |

So, we were told that the vaccine would be the route back to normality and now with a majority of adults jabbed up another lockdown later in the year is being hinted at. Is it me or does something not really add up. |

Providing the vaccine keeps enough people out of hospital regardless of infection rates I see no call for it.
However I did hear the government was concerned that Flu deaths this winter could be massive as a result of Covid. Maybe even drawf Covid deaths same time last year. There for I could see a call to lock the vulnerable up this winter. All depends if people are still cool about people dying of flu or not. |

What would be the reason for excessive flu deaths this winter did they say? The fact we havnt been exposed as much to it this year or just that we are all out and about again. |

"well folks, the choice is all yours. Spend the rest of your lives in and out of lockdown, being grateful for a few little freedoms, whilst they look down on you with contempt and travel everywhere, have parties in Cornwall booze ups at Ascot or you can grow a pair stand up and say NO MORE. Two little words and the whole charade is over !!!
What freedom do you feel they took away?
Have you visited planet Earth recently, Jesus"

"I dont think there will be a full lockdown but after seeing how much social distancing and masks helped prevent so much other sickness ( ie flu, norovirus etc) over the last winter... I would expect masks and hand washing etc and maybe even social distancing to be enforced over the winter period.
Yes
Let's all wear masks every winter. Maybe all year round, just to be sure.
Oh, wait, it's a dumb idea."
lol masks dont even stop a fart. Let alone a virus.

"It was reported on the world service other day boris has said we may have to have another winter lockdown .so get reddy for it now folks"
What he actually said was that he " think you can never exclude that there will be some new disease or some new horror that we haven't budgeted for" in response to the question "would he rule out further lockdowns this winter".

Once everyone is double jabbed I think we need to get back to normal otherwise the number of deaths will pale into insignificance compared to other diseases, for example half a million people less have seen their doctors for cancer tests and that’s just one disease! Delays in treatment, lack of mental health services coupled with what could be a recession. I was for the measures it at some point the world needs to open back up! |

Oh, wait, it's a dumb idea.
I plan to mask up in winter in future.
That's entirely your choice.
I wont be, thanks. Neither will the majority, regardless of any daft regulations.
Exposure to 'nasties' is very important for the general development and maintenance of the immune system.
Mandatory masks can be a useful tool as a short term measure. There is no place for them to be forced long term in a civilised society.
And Boris can say what he wants about lockdowns. I wont be missing another family Christmas under any circumstances.
I'm sure if there are rules, the majority will comply.
I'm sorry you don't seem to see the value of public health measures.
People are fed up of the bullshit. Have you been on a train recently? Mask wearing is less than 25%
Vaccination levels are already high - by winter further restrictions will not be tolerated."
Well I'm not sure what trains you are getting but I get trains very regularly and the vast majority are wearing face coverings and its very rare to see someone without one. |

Tbh once every one is double jabbed there is literally no need for another full lockdown.
Maybe tighter restrictions but we shouldn't see what we saw last winter. |

What is the reason for people in South East Asia countries wearing a mask for about the last 30 years or more .. You know when they have a cold, cough or sore throat? Adukts and children.
Why do they think its a good idea now to keep doing it?

That makes sense but what concerns is me is if the vaccine starts wearing off and therefore people need to be double jabbed all over again, then it will be the rush again to get everybody continually jabbed and lockdowns again. |

Unfortunately we rolled over and had our tummy’s tickled to protect the NHS far too quickly which leaves us in a position that every time the badly run NHS lurches into another crisis over the winter the government knows they can have another lockdown and we will all comply !
Our eldest daughter is a nurse and at the start of the pandemic was put on ICU with PPE not fit for purpose as the stock they had in their stores was two years out of date.
The NHS has too many ‘filling their faces cream cake eaters’ doing shit jobs and then taking big fat pay off from the trusts when the people on the ground like nurses and doctors are treated appallingly !

I have told you before, I am NOT God!!
What I think is that we can't keep relying on blunt, broad tactics like lockdown. Surely we have had enough time to think of better thought out and effective strategies.
Plus, continually moving goal posts will result in less public confidence in government and The Science and more people disregarding restrictions imposed. |

These are hardly basic rights though. Education being the exception but this can be delivered online. I have completed first aid training online, with a socially distanced practical, attended another face to face course as well,so these things are possible at the moment. The rest we can do with a bit of mitigation but again these aren't basic rights that are being repressed. |

You might believe that to be the case, but, in Japan certainly, that's not true. As soon as the flu season starts, the masks come out because they see it as highly impolite to spread any virus that they might be carrying - you'd affect the productivity of many people. It's seen as a civic duty there. Here, we don't care and that's rather sad. |

The post was that our basic rights were being witheld not whether it is normal or not, whatever normal is. It a matter of just doing things differently. If you want to see a Dr, you can (i have). You can travel oversees to see a sick relative too (i haven't). Hopefully it will build some resilience in this country so that people don't always expect to have their arses wiped for them and can actually think for themselves. |

This is the sort of asinine stupidity that makes me wonder about people. Having lived in at least three countries with dictators, pseudo dictators or one party states (Ethiopia in the 80’s, Philippines under Marcos and Algeria in the 70’s), this statement is one of the dumbest and most offensive so far. You’re being asked to do something as part of a public health measure. You don’t live under a dictatorship. Don’t like the government? Vote another one in at the next election. |

Most people don't need teaching how to wash their hands.
There's been scientific studies carried out and one fact I recall was that in some mens loos the numbers of germs on door handles indicated that less than one in five users were actually washing their hands after using the facilities..
I was in the gents the other night. One guy had a pee then walked over to hand dryer and dried his hands without bothering to wash them.
Maybe he thinks dyson dryers are that good."
So he'd basically pissed on his hands

Totally agree.
Basic hygiene has gone to the wall.
Sadly, from what I see in ladies toilets, we are worse than the gents, at least according to Paul.
Worse still, is mums not encouraging their kids to wash hands.
My dad was always making us wash before eating and after going to toilet.

"
What basic rights are being witheld ? We can meet with family and friends, go to work, work at home, travel in the UK, buy food, buy and sell property. Can you elaborate as i am at a loss to understand this comment.
Go on holiday abroad. Visit relatives who live abroad. Do a Park Run. Go to Adult Education classes. Go to a music _estival. Play in a swingers club. Go to the toilet in a restaurant without wearing a mask. Stand at the bar in a pub. Etc ..."
Not basic human rights at all. You seem to be under the impression that anything you WANT is a basic right, totally not true. |

"I dont think there will be a full lockdown but after seeing how much social distancing and masks helped prevent so much other sickness ( ie flu, norovirus etc) over the last winter... I would expect masks and hand washing etc and maybe even social distancing to be enforced over the winter period.
Yes
Let's all wear masks every winter. Maybe all year round, just to be sure.
Oh, wait, it's a dumb idea.
I plan to mask up in winter in future.
That's entirely your choice.
I wont be, thanks. Neither will the majority, regardless of any daft regulations.
Exposure to 'nasties' is very important for the general development and maintenance of the immune system.
Mandatory masks can be a useful tool as a short term measure. There is no place for them to be forced long term in a civilised society.
And Boris can say what he wants about lockdowns. I wont be missing another family Christmas under any circumstances.
Question
What is the reason for people in South East Asia countries wearing a mask for about the last 30 years or more .. You know when they have a cold, cough or sore throat? Adukts and children.
Why do they think its a good idea now to keep doing it?
Riddle me this!
Then think about your comment
Many of those people wear face masks 24/7 wherever they go when outside.
It's believed to stem from the heavily polluted cities.
My comments still stand - if that's the society you want to live in then crack on.
Most of us simply don't. And won't."
Im not so sure thats right on both counts.
Its considered commin courtesy to wear a mask if you are sick or ill with a respiratory illness..Dome companies insist on it!
Airborne viruses arent as efficient at latching on to other people that way and making them ill.. Surprise surprise masks work !
My personal opinion is we need to see more mask wearing during flu season for example not difficult to do and clearly effective.
Secondly.. I think you may find you are in a minority group as someone who is refusing to wear a face covering ( actually peole need to wear a surgicak mask not a bit of cloth tbh) .. So'most' doesnt amount to that many really if you think about it maybe? ..

"Hopefully it will build some resilience in this country so that people don't always expect to have their arses wiped for them and can actually think for themselves.
Yes I'm sure people will learn how to think for themselves by specifically being denied that luxury by having (often mental) rules thrust upon them."
If you cut and paste the whole thread it provides the whole narrative not selective parts. However, i don't see how the guidelines stopped people from thinking. |

I'm sure if there are rules, the majority will comply.
I'm sorry you don't seem to see the value of public health measures.
Im not so sure even the covid rules cheerleaders i know are now asking why we aint opening up as deaths are so low"
Lockdown should be mandatory for all (except those exempt) who are not vaccinated. |

Spot on again with all your comments. Couldn't agree more. |

"You only have yourselves to blame when they lock you down again.
You’ve set a precedent, enabled their behaviour and continue to support it.
"
We will only have ourselves to blame if we are careless and don’t take the necessary measures to reduce the spread of the virus.
If everyone decides to be careless, then we can’t blame the government for locking us down again. |

I'm done with lockdowns now so they might bring one in but I'll still be seeing my friends and family if they are still happy to see me
Enough has to be enough once we are all jabbed |

"It was reported on the world service other day boris has said we may have to have another winter lockdown .so get reddy for it now folks"
See the trick would be to have the flu jab and the covid booster jab at the same time and see what happens…
I could see shutting down “January” would be an interesting concept |

Being stood up for a winter Covid booster alongside the flu jab, NHS have been warned to expect a winter of virus transmission if the masks and social distancing are no longer a thing, have we learned no lessons from this bastard thing? |

And this afternoon government ministers saying they will be throwing away their masks on the 19th. If the rules now change it's going to be hard to take that back... |

"Don’t surprise me with his way of running this country.
And also the way the selfish me me me F*****s in the community go around doing as they like. Not obeying the rules etc. It's not all the government's thought.
Yup they blame the government for their inability to even wash their hands properly I mean come on people we were taught this as small children (well I was anyway) I never thought the government would have to tell people how to wash their hands
Who's blamed the government for their own handwashing or lack of?
I've literally seen noone.
Most people don't need teaching how to wash their hands.
There's been scientific studies carried out and one fact I recall was that in some mens loos the numbers of germs on door handles indicated that less than one in five users were actually washing their hands after using the facilities..
I was in the gents the other night. One guy had a pee then walked over to hand dryer and dried his hands without bothering to wash them.
Maybe he thinks dyson dryers are that good."
Stephanie, what were you doing in the gents! Perhaps it was the shock of seeing a lady such as yourself in there that made this fellow forget to wash his hands! |
