As long as it takes, until their vaccine is fully working.
It's all well and good police stopping people going for walks in the woods. They should be stopping people over a certain age that have left the house.
Because when you see vulnerable people not giving a shit while everybody else is struggling so that people like them don't get it. It takes the piss.Respectfully, Nick, you’ve been one of the main protagonists arguing about mental health throughout the pandemic, and yet you’re willing to see old people and people with underlying conditions effectively boarded up until the end of this with no alternative. Don’t get me wrong, I agree with the sentiment of what you’re saying and I don’t know whether you’re actually being serious but it’s absolutely unenforceable.

Oh for sure it's not every OAP, of course not but there's so many not giving a shit.
So there was 12m UK residents over 65 until the Tory incompetency helped lower the number.There are 12 million uk residents over 65 - 11,935,000 haven’t died of coronavirus
There 46 million uk residents - 45,632,000 didn’t die in WW2
What’s all the fuss about?
Think of all the Americans who didn’t die in 9/11, look at all those well fed Yemenis.
You really are scraping the barrel.
I would imagine that in some part ‘at least’ this is due to an increased fear of infection ‘either for oneself or ones family, and/ or a desire to return to the social lives we have been missing for such long periods of time.This is good on our part but we need everyone to vaccinate to open the world back up
There's an old person I know who thinks all the youngsters should be locked up as they're the ones transmitting it. Then he can get on with his life instead of being shut up thanks to all those under 50s not giving a shit...
Thought one of the advantages of the Cambridge vaccine was it could be easily stored. Why would they just chuck it away?Issue is stock but places are being told to throw away excess vaccine at the end of the day rather than use it.
Yes, the under 50s out there paying for his state pension etcThere's an old person I know who thinks all the youngsters should be locked up as they're the ones transmitting it. Then he can get on with his life instead of being shut up thanks to all those under 50s not giving a shit...

And even if it can't be stored surely pretty easy to have a reserve list of people who will turn up at short notice. The vaccination centre for my doctors is about 5 minutes away, if they called me at 3am and said I could have one I'd be there at 3:05am!
They weren’t locked away against their will

Could be the pfizer one?

That's kind of his point.And neither are you. Unless you’ve lost your front door keys.

You're argument is coming across as pretty selfish though.
"i can't go out to the gym/pub which isn't fair. So stop all the old and vulnerable people going out so I can. It's not fair on them either, but I'm not one of them so fuck 'em. Me first"
Any problems with breathing get to hospital do a blood oxygen reading and if low start the magic drugs. Thousands are being saved by getting the magic drugs in them quickly to stop getting worse and then it being a much harder medical job to treat. She’s done the right thingFound out my ex had gone into hospital this morning when my five year old text me to ask for more time on Roblox “cos mummy’s gone to hospital”, you can imagine my reaction
She sounded OK when I text but was waiting for a chest X-ray. She’s 38 if that matters.

Totally understand where Nick is coming from. Protect the vulnerable they say, well maybe the vulnerable should take more care of themselves if we are going to stop our lives for them.
Not siding fully with Nick but i get his point.
Just got back from the chippy, got chatting to an old bloke, hes 76. Was asking about his thoughts, has he had the vaccine etc. His response?
'Im past caring, i still go and see my daughter and her family, i still go to my mates, i still smoke and im not having the vaccine because i dont know whats in it. I should do though as I've got COPD'.
Granted only 1 bloke but was eye opening. Was glad my cod was ready as i was unsure how to even respond to that
