But I suspect a lot more people would be alive (maybe add "timely" to the lockdown rather than "dithering delays").mjr wrote: ↑3 May 2021, 11:23amCome off it.

Again I stress that is why I wrote 'Lockdown of sorts'.I have said from Day 1 we haven't had a proper 'lockdown'.mjr wrote: ↑3 May 2021, 11:23amCome off it.

You are now contradicting yourself!
Your words not mine.England's third national lockdown ended on 29 March
How can the lockdown you quoted end on 29 March if we didn't really have one?Which is it?
Re: Who's had their second jab?
Correct me if I'm wrong here.
Some countries, you weren't allowed to leave your front door.
Others, you weren't allowed to be more than 100mtrs from your home.
We have three acres as our property, and it's 100mtrs even to the road, and acres and acres of deserted woodland and fields we could amble through and not see a living soul. We are not unusual in this, but very very different to the city and town dwellers that the rules are written for.

Re: Who's had their second jab?
It seems to me a great many people have continued to travel pretty much at will.
.....
Take this example.
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/ ... into-doubt
Everest Base Camp.
Quote:-
“I have taken a helicopter out of EBC [Everest base camp] back to Kathmandu after 1 day,” Gina Marie Han-Lee, a climber from New York, wrote on Facebook on 29 April. “Once I was in the hospital [in Kathmandu] a Covid test confirmed I was positive and had pneumonia. I’ve spent four nights in the ICU.”
Was she unvaccinated? From New York!!!
....
Meanwhile.
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/ ... id-vaccine
In NZ any border staff who refuse vaccination lose their jobs. They are only 5% of the workforce, one would have thought an alternative position could have been found for just nine?
Tolerant old NZ eh?
.....
People have definitely continued to fly to Mallorca etc. It was reported that at Easter 20,000 German tourists went by plane.
......
And,
The EU has just announced a likely resumption of unrestricted travel, subject to vaccination.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-56970398
Good news pending the detail.
And having access to or possessing the correct up to date technology.
I wonder about some of these anomalies.

"Barely qualified as a lockdown" means it still qualified as one, so there was no contradiction in my words IMO.Ride-sleep-repeat wrote: ↑3 May 2021, 12:46pmAgain I stress that is why I wrote 'Lockdown of sorts'.I have said from Day 1 we haven't had a proper 'lockdown'.mjr wrote: ↑3 May 2021, 11:23amCome off it.

Whereas, if you thought that we have never been in lockdown, how could we be in any sort of one still? Now that's inconsistent and I feel claiming we are still in any sort of lockdown is mainly an attempt to confuse and upset.

Re: Who's had their second jab?
Well you couldn't be further from the truth with what you 'feel' but that statement answers a certain question I've been pondering.
The feeling I'm getting is hitting my head against a wall and in light of very recent,shall we say exchanges,...I'm out.

Following Bill and Belinda Gates’ divorce will that mean that only half of us will be run by Microsoft implanted chips?

Re: Who's had their second jab?
Lock downs are generally unpopular but so is increased outbreaks.
Our first Lock down was the most severe. Only allowed out for once a day, no more than 2 km from home and for 1 hour. You had to print out your on-line declaration and sign it. It had to be taken with you.
Our most recent one (not the last I suspect) the time limit was removed and distance increased to 10 km.
It's generally unpopular and the 6 pm to 6 am curfew was extremely unpopular.
My son works shifts and has never been stopped throughout this time.
I only know one person who has been stopped and this was a lady out walking her dog.
Some parts of the world had really tough lock downs and I'm glad we didn't experience this, ours was bad enough.

Pubs outside only of course.
Me and Sailor the dog had a couple of miles walk this afternoon and called in at the Rising Sun on the way.
He had a couple of bikkies from the landlord, and I had a couple of pints.
It's what your right hand's for?
Could have had a few sips via the left hand maybe?
Chatted to my mate who turned up, and told him about what his little packet with the keys was for.

Had my second Pfizer dose this morning.
So far, as with the first, no side effects.
The injection site is not even tender.
