A national newspaper is reporting a suggestion for a limited opening for dine-in restaurants - for fully vaccinated customers! How will that work? -
Covid response from 2 different countries: NZ vs Thailand
brewsterbudgen replied to bbabythai's topic in COVID-19 Coronavirus
Australia seems to be trying to out-extreme its neighbour! Shooting ex-rescue dogs to stop people travelling to pick them up for adoption. Unbelievable. Didn't Australia use to be a civilised country? https://news.sky.com/story/covid-19-rescue-dogs-shot-dead-in-australia-over-coronavirus-restrictions-12388537 -
They seem to drag out a doctor for provocative comments every day! This is just today's example. Tomorrow there'll be another, with a completely different prediction!

Well it is down to what the government's Covid committee thinks that matters, and by the sound of it, they're moving in one particular direction (thankfully, as far as I'm concerned). I do agree about reopening for tourism, though. Maybe some more "sandboxes", but reopening the day-to-day economy (workplaces, restaurants, shops, schools) is far more important and needs to happen soon.

I think everyone accepts that the figures are at best flawed and, more likely, as you say, nonsense! Where we disagree (I think) is what to do about it. We're certainly not in a position to influence the government or to get hold of accurate figures, which will still be disputed. Either way, in my opinion, nonsense figures or not, it's time to start opening up (slowly!) for the sake of the economy and people's sanity!

I'm not sure it matters. No one believes any of the figures anyway. -

And that should be your choice. But it's likely to be a long way off. Have the UK started vaccinating under-18s yet? -

"He said that without a continuing hard lockdown with all its rules the current numbers - or worse - will be running to the end of October or even later in the year." A hard lockdown? Is that what we have now?
