Perhaps I’ve got it wrong here but wouldn’t the only ones to be infected after everybody else has been vaccinated be those unvaccinated?

Not necessarily, once the vaccination program is completed the chances are that R would be below 0.1 and so the unvaccinated would be very unlucky to contract the virus, so in effect, they would have considerable protection by default.

Only if the vaccines are 100% effective, which they aren't.

Once everyone has had the opportunity to be vaccinated, entry to shops, pubs, restaurants, cinemas, sports grounds, airports etc should only be allowed on production of a valid vaccination certificate. If you don't want the jab don't have it, that is your right, but don't expect to be allowed to mix with the rest of us.

Totally agree

Totally agree

But if the rest of us have been vaccinated it shouldn’t matter if we mix with the unclean surely? - is that not the whole point of being vaccinated in the first place?

Elite answered that literally two posts ago.

A fairly scathing appraisal of the handling of the virus from someone who a lot of this government's supporters on here respect.

Ironic in a way that the reason we have a government made up of low grade people in the first place is because they were selected on Brexit loyalty rather than competence, but it's always quite nice to see people break with political trench warfare and call it as they see it.

There are certainly plenty of low grade politicians about, that's for sure.

Another massive surprise, not.

No arguments from me on that score. They select for different criteria to the Conservatives, but unfortunately still not competence. Lucky she was being interviewed by a female otherwise that might have been classed as a hate crime.

One thing that puzzles me is, my cousin caught covid while she was in hospital, she was sent home very ill. She is 84 and lives on her own so social services became involved. She had to isolate for 14 days which ended at the weekend but she's been told she doesn't have to have another test which I find very concerning.
Surely she should be tested to make sure it has gone?
