Ha - I agree with you Regis! Thanks for asking about my health and my Consultant is calling me tomorrow with the results of both MRI scans. Fingers crossed my cancer is contained but I have Arthritis in my Lumbar Spine which is causing constant nerve irritation in my legs and seems to be getting worse. Gone through a really bad patch as prior to all this was reasonably fit and healthy and rarely visited a GP surgery.

Fingers crossed baggieal.

Can’t disagree
Seems more political than practical, why don’t we just take a stand and be super strict with letting anyone in
Especially while we have been locked in our houses practically

On more important note BaggieAl sorry to hear about your prognosis ****ty news, but here’s wishing you a speedy recovery buddy

I agree we should be banning travel from countries on the red list. That said, the US has had the most deaths in the world but yet they are not on the list? Something doesn’t add up here. End of the day, money talks. But what is bizzare is banning the other countries in South Asia but not India.
Another point, if people are still coming in, isnt quarantining more stricter now? So in theory we should be on top of this so those travelling in are not a risk anymore?
It is also as if, if we don’t ban some countries on the red list.. the more it’s justified as a reason for another lockdown. As long as we keep the door open eh. Otherwise if we had a total shutdown, how will we ever justify increase in cases and deaths?

How long can this go for? As long as scientists keep shoving stats in our face, it’s there to be believed. How accurate are these stats? Who’s really collecting data? I pass a number of tests centres and I’ve never see one person in any of them. Normal life needs to return now, this nonsense has gone on for too long now.

The country and its people will be locked up again come the autumn. There as always been another lockdown when the bribery (furlough scheme) as been extended. So on that basis the next flu season beginning in October will see us all watching 24/7 netflix again.

I can so see that happening too. It’s why they tease the idea in the media that we’ll get a third wave, a new variant.. then no sh it sherlock we are in it for real. Longer this goes on for the more and more people will start believing what the so called anti vaxxers have been saying. The whole thing is starting to look like we’re all being conditioned. We’re all being made to become pavlovs dog with this stimulus condition lol.

Putting India on the ‘red’ list would provoke protests from the Indian community in the UK, and we couldn’t have that, could we. Also, Boris off to India on a jolly at the end of the month. If we end up with another surge in cases from these Indian variants, maybe another lockdown even, then we can say ‘thank you very much Boris’. Many scientists are calling for India to go on the red list but it seems that Boris has another agenda?

It's best to have a cowboy on hand when there's Red Indians about 😊 .
