Jump to: Newest in thread
'Living with the virus' can mean many things and is sometimes used as part of the drive to end all curbs and aspects of society being differently affected by Covid than, for example, the common cold.
What would your plans be for the UK to live with the virus and when? Would this include monitoring of the DNA of variants here etc? Would you have a contingency plan B etc? |

I think the sensible plan is to keep all options open. It's a global pandemic which hasn't ended and we have open borders. The next varient, if there is one may be the one that wipes us out...who knows. In the meantime use common sense and be kind. |

I'm hoping that we will be somewhat sensible and use what we already know about this virus, pandemics and human behaviour generally. There's been a push from Johnson to bring forward the 'Living with the virus' trope, since the partygate affair continued to rage on.
We've been world-leading in more ways than some of our mistakes, including genetic sequencing. Ending all free testing, when we know many of our zero hours contract workers don't get paid, unless working, would seem shortsighted. Yet there are pushes for that from the treasury.
I don't have a plan but believe that we would be wiser to wait until early summer, before stopping some of the mandatory measures, including public mask wearing. |

At this point in time everyone knows by heart what to do to keep themselves and/or others safe.
There'll always people who don't give a shit and do what they want anyway (like visiting care homes when unwell etc.).
There'll always be rebels who go against the rules just for the sake of it and sometimes taking things too far.
There'll always be people who follow common sense and risk assess their own situation.
There'll always be people who follow the government rules to the T and will feel lost without them.
There'll always be people who only follow rules to make themselves feel like heroes.
There'll always be people who follow the government rules to the T and will feel lost without them.
There will always be people who are upset about what others do.
Thats what makes us all unique and different and nobody is better than another (except the ones who purposely go out of their way to do harm to others, and those who go out of their way to give abuse and call names every single person who disagrees with them without even wanting to hear a reason why - I'll see those people next Tuesday lol).
In my eyes nothing will change from dropping restrictions.
Nobody will spontaneously start spitting at people, licking others faces or things around them, there will be no reason to scream at strangers, nobody will randomly start singing, retail workers will be smiling at us instead of mouthing "fuck off" under their masks, most people have started appreciating one way systems in shopping centres (i love having a fast lane, not trying to push through people) and personal space.
It's all good

They would unlikely be following the rules if there are no rules to follow; - especially since you say they will be lost without the rules.

Those people won’t feel like heroes anymore if there are no longer rules to be adhered to. |

But those same people are still wearing face coverings, diligently take up all offered shots and only leave their house for genuine emergencies. Most of those actions will be driven by self preservation caused by fear that was force fed to people from every available source for last 2 years.
Or they just formed a habit and and don't have any reason nor will to break it. Nothing wrong with that.
Only difference between those kinds of people and the "hero" types is the latter ones will keep doing all those things because they're convinced they're actively saving lives on daily basis.
Please stop putting words in my mouth. I said what I meant. Directly. Without twisting any words.
I must add that I'm foreign, so if my sentence structuring offends you so much it could well be a simple loss in translation.
Thousands of fabbers whom I never met think I'm a monster because of that lol
Hundreds of fabbers who I have been very lucky to meet - know very well what I'm like and a lot of it is published in our veris.
Do with it what you will, just don't create drama where there is no drama to create.

Doing the same thing I've been doing all along - not be an asshole and not screaming or spitting at people, staying at home when I'm unwell and basically minding my own business, unless someone feels that they're smarter or "kinder" than me and decide to call me a killer, stupid, liar or any other names. I put those people in their place and continue on with minding my business |

Sophie very few people (if any) have the first clue or experience/knowledge what the “plan” should be. In fact based on the ever changing approach (which in no small way was driven by political expediency more than actual concern for health) our Govt hasn’t got a clue either!
As for common sense, I agree with the poster further up who said keep our options open. We need to be ready to react to a sudden threat increase. Basically the Govt should enact the recommendations from Operation Cygnus in 2016. If they had (instead of ignoring it) the UK handling of Covid would have been far better.
Personal view, ensure all those identified as being in a vulnerable group are offered further boosters if they choose to. The rest of the population should be strongly encouraged to embrace a healthier lifestyle, weight loss, better diet, exercise with the evidence of increased risk of death from Covid as the driver. |

I like this but I'd be a bit more cautious. To me we should be good guides and scouts and be prepared. You can't do that if there's no plans in place or there's no-one looking out for that next variant. Stopping free testing for something that's so new seems ludicrous since we haven't even reached the third anniversary of this virus yet.
The Spanish flu pandemic lasted for three years and killed tens of millions of people and we were a lot less mobile then.
Letting everything go "back to normal" now doesn't seem the right thing to me, sorry. |

"'Living with the virus' can mean many things and is sometimes used as part of the drive to end all curbs and aspects of society being differently affected by Covid than, for example, the common cold.
What would your plans be for the UK to live with the virus and when? Would this include monitoring of the DNA of variants here etc? Would you have a contingency plan B etc?

Stopping free testing for something that's so new seems ludicrous since we haven't even reached the third anniversary of this virus yet.
The Spanish flu pandemic lasted for three years and killed tens of millions of people and we were a lot less mobile then.
Letting everything go "back to normal" now doesn't seem the right thing to me, sorry."
Whilst much of the world is still having problems, the UK giving up puts us at greater, avoidable, risk.
People concerned with or caring for others will have £hundreds to pay each year, if free testing is abolished, or many could be left isolated.
There's likely a government announcement tomorrow on their 'vision' and I'm assuming that there'll be little or no details about plan B, etc.

"I think the sensible plan is to keep all options open. It's a global pandemic which hasn't ended and we have open borders. The next varient, if there is one may be the one that wipes us out...who knows. In the meantime use common sense and be kind.
I'm hoping that we will be somewhat sensible and use what we already know about this virus, pandemics and human behaviour generally. There's been a push from Johnson to bring forward the 'Living with the virus' trope, since the partygate affair continued to rage on.
We've been world-leading in more ways than some of our mistakes, including genetic sequencing. Ending all free testing, when we know many of our zero hours contract workers don't get paid, unless working, would seem shortsighted. Yet there are pushes for that from the treasury.
I don't have a plan but believe that we would be wiser to wait until early summer, before stopping some of the mandatory measures, including public mask wearing. "
I agree.
Think it's a tad premature to drop all measures.
Probably wait to see if the increase in transmission results in NHS issues in ICU dtaffing and patient admission, especially as travel restrictions are being lifted.
I expect a spike but will that have a knock on effect.
Honestly don't know.
I'm no tech person but it doesn't seem to be beyond the wit of man to have a system akin to track and trace.
We all have mobile devices of some form, or have relatives or friends who do and to use them as a warning or tracing device for future incidents seems to be sensible.
My rant would be to have hand washing stations, gel and masks at hospital entrance.
Don't want to join in, don't get to visit.

"At this point in time everyone knows by heart what to do to keep themselves and/or others safe.
There'll always people who don't give a shit and do what they want anyway (like visiting care homes when unwell etc.).
There'll always be rebels who go against the rules just for the sake of it and sometimes taking things too far.
There'll always be people who follow common sense and risk assess their own situation.
There'll always be people who follow the government rules to the T and will feel lost without them.
There'll always be people who only follow rules to make themselves feel like heroes.

Thats what makes us all unique and different and nobody is better than another (except the ones who purposely go out of their way to do harm to others, and those who go out of their way to give abuse and call names every single person who disagrees with them without even wanting to hear a reason why - I'll see those people next Tuesday lol).
In my eyes nothing will change from dropping restrictions.
Nobody will spontaneously start spitting at people, licking others faces or things around them, there will be no reason to scream at strangers, nobody will randomly start singing, retail workers will be smiling at us instead of mouthing "fuck off" under their masks, most people have started appreciating one way systems in shopping centres (i love having a fast lane, not trying to push through people) and personal space.
It's all good
