    The way you seem to be going about things is absolutely mental. Why isn't everything open now, don't you have like no cases? Just seems really weird you don't just squash it and then reopen internally.

    The case numbers are low. The deaths at insignificant levels and with the vaccine already protecting the vulnerable a national door handle lickathon wouldn't change that.

    It's April 2021, not April 2020 and people need to stop pretending otherwise. There is no reason to indulge this Nanny State shite and I won't be doing so.

    Gotcha. I understand those points of view.

    Don’t get the comment re asymptomatic carrying though, given that you can spread the virus when asymptomatic.

    The ministers are far more useless than previously thought. We just copy the UK. Besides, there isn't much time for discussing policies when half the States are being outed as pedos (especially when it's the Children's and Education Minister).

    Basically. Think they have 5 cases at the moment and seem to have been tracking at a few new cases every other day of so for months. I know lockdown would be suppressing spread, but I just don't get why they won't get it shifted ['zero covid' is somewhat more achievable in a contained environment] and then reopen.

    Another morning, another rent-a-gob scientist spreading CONCERN and FEAR where there should be none.

    Former chief scientific adviser to the government, Prof Sir Mark Walport, tells BBC Breakfast: "It's clear that we're making good progress along the road map, and it's entirely appropriate that the first set of restrictions are being relaxed, so that makes very good sense indeed.

    "But we're a long way from taking the brakes off completely."

    He said the situation in France, which currently has more than 39,000 new cases a day, showed the virus was "still very much around".

    He said that by June "the numbers are going to be really important here".

    However, any further wave of infection was likely to be different from the first, he said.

    "It's likely to be different from the first one because we know that the vaccines are very good at keeping people out of hospital and stopping people dying. And that's why it's important to really focus on what the data at the time are actually showing
    I'll wait for Kik's and Shinners to agree with him and then dissect this total nonsense.

    Some Sky woman was screaming to Boris yesterday about how Chile's vaccine rollout is better than ours but they've just locked down. 20%'s fully vaccinated but they're at half the adult population jabbed. Have a word with Sinopharm, lads.

    You'll be on the green list I imagine, so you could fly over in May with no quarantine. Your only barrier would be whatever restrictions Vietnam have in place.

    It was the resident maniac, yeah. Kevin Pamplin is in trouble too. Makes you wonder if Oscar Puffin is next.

    We shut down because we had a shitload of cases, then they've been slow to reopen, but the pubs have been open with food for weeks now. There was no real thirst for opening in January and we'd only just managed to get the cases down by that point, then by 22nd Feb we were back in the pubs with meals. Pubs opened properly on Friday just gone.

    There are rumours of a spike of about 20 or so over the weekend due to uni students being bellends, but as long as it stays around 20 I doubt anything will change. People aren't taking it very seriously over here so I can see why there'd be a concern that zero COVID isn't possible.

    Effect of vaccines on transmission still not fully known - scientist
    As we've reported, government scientific advisers have warned that eventual indoor mixing is "highly likely" to lead to a resurgence in hospitalisations and deaths in the UK.

    Asked about the predictions of a third wave, Prof Graham Medley, a member of the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies, told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "It really just depends upon the impact of vaccination, particularly on transmission, so whether or not people can get infected and pass the virus on. And we just don't know that."

    He said it was still unclear what effect the vaccine rollout would have on the course of the pandemic in three or four months' time.

    "The only thing we can be sure of is that we don't know exactly what is going to happen - but we do know that, because the vaccine isn't 100% effective, there will be some transmission, and there will be some breakthrough of immunity."

    Asked if mask-wearing and social distancing would have to continue past the end of 21 June, he said: "Yes, so the amount of infection and death is dependent upon not only the vaccine, but also what it is that people actually do.

    "And then that's related to the policies that are put in place.

    "Both of those are uncertain - both the policies but also then how people behave with the policies - so it's quite likely that we will have to see some kind of measures to reduce transmission for a long time."
    Jesus.

    I can feel another e-victory coming with my scepticism of the SCIENCE. Either this professor is incompetent or lying. Either way, we need to stop listening to these people and stop now.

    They're doing what scientists always do. They're just not used to the ramifications of their words/thoughts being used to directly influence the immediate freedoms of 100% of the population.

    I want one of them to explain HOW a fully vaccinated population that is allowed to mix will cause a resurgence in hospitalisations and deaths. We might see a small bump in numbers and I think society can and will accept that. But to suggest we are ever going to see numbers like we’ve had before is deliberately dishonest.

    I think, as many smart people do, you're giving them credit where it isn't due, because SCIENCE. I don't know why they're saying these things, but you could send Caprice into bat against them again and if she could formulate a coherent argument she'd win it. Take a moment to let it sink in just how mad that is.

    The narrative that started weeks ago was interchangeably using the effectiveness of the vaccine against all forms of illness against those that cause death.

    It's just plain wrong and it's not the government driving this, it's SCIENCE. One could argue that the government should take more control, but we live in a country where SCIENCE can't be questioned, so we are where we are.

    It hasn't anywhere near enough. We have interview after interview, report after report on the BBC and elsewhere that at best contain factually incorrect information and at worst, outright lies. Barely a peep is raised against it and it keeps being published. No other walk of life gets off that lightly.

    Hell, you're still defending it.

    It's not being questioned because it's deliberate. They need people worried so they'll follow the rules and get the vaccine, but on the flip side of the coin they need enough good news to have a light at the end of the tunnel.

    In reality we're pretty much out of the tunnel and into the light, but that's not a message that will keep the great unwashed compliant.

    Makes no sense. If you're telling people we're still going to have x thousand deaths with a vaccine how will that compel people to get one? Surely the message should be, if we all get vaccinated then this thing is done, if we don't then hello again to restrictions. France being an absolute case in point for this. But instead of pointing to them and highlighting they're in a third wave because of their shambolic vaccine rollout we're pointing to them and saying "IT'S COMING RIGHT FOR US".

    Sure, scare people into getting a vaccine by threatening them with passports, but don't then contradict that by saying "well, actually, we're not sure how effective vaccines are at stopping deaths".

    I suppose there is an argument to say that the vaccinated would run wild if you were honest about how effective they are, but my guess (based on anecdotal evidence admittedly) is that they already are.

    These guys spouting this crap don’t represent the SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY well at all. We’ve been told for over a year now that the vaccine is the way out of this. We’ve donned the development and rollout and now they’re saying we’re unsure.

    I worked in vaccine development for eight years. This ain’t how you engage people in vaccination programs by constantly creating undue doubt.

    They do not. For me, the people working on the vaccines have shown what science can do and why it is marvellous. The rest of them, working on the SCIENCE, have and continue to be, a shower of shit.

    I think this is what it is. It's great news but they're probably wishing they'd held back the "100% effective at stopping severe cases" bit.

    I agree with what 7om has just said though. Walking it back just adds more fuel to antivaxx fire. You can't lead with "it's pukka" then adjust your position to "Well.... it might be a little bit shit, we dunno, lol." Because people have started hugging their grandchildren again.
