I find it hard to argue with others deeply held legitimate opinions across many different topics. I get annoyed with people that wind others up for a laugh or plays devils advocate to get a rise. But anyone who says they want things back to normal now has a point right!!!
My mum just won’t and has probably already thrown the letter away
It would also be true though that they’d given adults the information to make an informed decision.
Well that was the thinking before it became a complete free for all. It was only 15 weeks ago that for the first time people in their situation were told they could even consider leaving their homes safely. Understandably some have been nervous about doing so having spent over a year being told that leaving the house could kill them.
They both have put my Dad is CEV and getting covid post-vaccine could be very serious and likely fatal. What am I supposed to do, just tell them to stop worrying and crack on and just hope for the best?

I think exactly that chief. But rather than hope for the best just be cautious. If they live local and you don’t I’m happy to pick stuff up for them and drop it roundWell that was the thinking before it became a complete free for all.

The problem is the general consensus among experts seemed to be that opening up with minor things in place to minimise risk would mean that by applying a bit of common sense they could continue to get back out and about in relative safety. But following the announcement there would be absolutely nothing done to prevent spread of the virus its now a different proposition.
The government advise talks about increased risk due to high community transmission, that's because they've abandoned any attempt at controlling transmission. When you read the advise its laughable, avoid people who aren't vaccinated, avoid areas where there might be people who are infected, go to shops when nobody else is in them, ask people to take a test before they come into contact with you. Its not in anyway practical and just passes the buck so if and when people start dying they can absolve themselves of blame.

Just had a quick google and it looks like there's 3.8 million people in a similar position,
'We've been thrown to the wolves,' say extremely clinically vulnerable after new Covid guidance
Vulnerable people told i the Government has thrown them 'under a bus' and their 'world will shrink' as all other social distancing measures in England are due to be lifted from 19 July
tbf, there are also a fair few pointing out the happy bonus if they lose Julia Hartley-Brewer as a customer!
Thanks mate. Luckily I moved back to the city a while back, in part to not be three hours away whenever they needed something, only 5 minutes away now.

Great advice
That's very useful thanks. I've been trying to tell my Mum the surface transmission thing for months, was a struggle to stop them popping to M&S when they were supposed to be shielding as 'the type of people who go to M&S won't have covid' but still insists on quarantining the post for 3 days

The government messaging has been pretty appealing through this whole thing but the new advise for CEV is so vague as to be useless. I suspect that's intentional so there's no blame on the government further down the line.
I do that, mainly because it's a habit I can't break out of now! (OCD tendancies anyway, have to check I've shut the door umpteen times on leaving the house, so wasn't a great thing to be suggested tbh)
