Not sure how Boris can stand up tonight and ask us to wait 'just another few weeks' after his antics this weekend.

Nor after seeing the scenes at countless pubs where people were celebrating the footy results

I'm 100% done now

@tellmesomethinghonestly

Is there an I'm done lanyard I can wear to Asda ?

You know what? If anyone can be arsed, lanyards AND masks with that on would make a nice side hustle and lead to funny chats in the shops. 😂

@tellmesomethinghonestly good for you, but the large numbers of people who don’t feel comfortable (as evidenced by the long queues on the nhs website when it opened to over 25s) outweigh your blitheness. I’m more worried about long covid than hospitalisation personally.

[quote bishbashbosh99]@MRex no idea, I've been drinking and mingling so a bit smashed if I'm honest [/quote]
Excellent, we all need to do our bit to get profit back into the pubs.

I 100% agree, TheVampiresWife. And funny how even now 'the vulnerable' only applies to Covid.

You are applauding someone drunk on a Monday afternoon?

I am totally done especially now that I've seen the G7 photos, not to mention the football matches being allowed to take place. My child's school is still insisting on making them wear masks at school, I'm more concerned about mental health now.

Anyone with flu or cold symptoms arriving at work would be sent home, well before this pandemic.

What wasn't available were flu jabs for free for those working in Care Homes, Schools, or essential services.

Flu jabs have been available first for the over 65s, children and pregnant/nursing mothers for years.

@loulouljh

I am truly done too. Any goodwill I had has gone now. Problem is that does not help the businesses that cannot re-open or who are operating at half capacity.

Exactly, a whole swathe of the population Singers, musicians, actors , performers, stage hands , sound technicians, lighting technicians, theatre and venue staff All the things that have made life nice.

We went to an indoor music event last week people who have written and we’re performing their own material at the end of a college course.

It was a privilege to watch them . We sat socially distanced and the venue was full to the capacity they were allowed.

Missed it so much.
We can and watch the outdoor performers as much as we can in york on a weekend.

Makes life feel a bit more normal.

@TheVampiresWife trigeminal neuralgia yes - that's one of the very few genuine exemptions. Respiratory conditions generally aren't, neither are most skin conditions, neither is anxiety for the vast majority of people -when gently requested that they try, people are able to. I would say genuine trigeminal neuralgia and severe PTSD related to the face e.g. from an oral rape, plus some with autism/LD and that's about it.

In my job I have access to people's health records and so far 100% of those that have claimed to be exempt have no exemption.

Why not, I wish I was drunk right now too!

There is no clear list of exemptions so i am not sure how you could ascertain that? Also you should not be checking people's medical records for that - there is quite literally no reason for you to do that. Presumably you are viewing them for a different reason and having a good old rummage through and a lovely judge? You should not be doing that. I would be incredibly angry if you were viewing my record for one thing, and then doing something else entirely.

If someone could prove that, and you've just announced it on the internet, then you could be sacked in reality for that.

Absolutely! I'm jealous! I'll be on holiday next week this time and will be drunk as a lord by this time. Mate has already ordered an entire case of fizz to be delivered to our lodge, I threw in a case of ale for the ale drinker, the other one is having a case of wine sent over. Booze, hiking and BBQ dinner every night.

@Thewiseoneincognito and would you not leave your house when you had a cold or flu either? Would you avoid public transport and the workplace? Because I am immune-suppressed and catch respiratory infections every year from trains and the workplace.

Surgeons wear masks to protect the patient, not themselves. To prevent any illness they might be carrying spreading into the patient.

Lovely to know a judgemental busybody has time to go through peoples' records and judge who should be exempt. My mate has emphysema and is exempt, thankfully spare doesn't make the rules.

And how do you know, spare, what all these people are doing in their free time? Anyone can buy one of those lanyards and tags, I got one for my son who has autism.

🤣🤣 @esterwin wind your neck in love, I've been at a networking event and only a mug would say no to the free champagne

Your point is odd towards the end because two years ago there wasn’t the risk of passing on a highly contagious respiratory virus that could cause significant problems for said vulnerable persons

Huh? Did flu not exist two years ago?

@Thewiseoneincognito

I don't know if #Imdone but I do know that I'm coming to the end of my rope.

I've done it all correctly: worn a mask, social distanced, got both vaccinations, not mingled households etc but it has taken a toll on me mentally and I genuinely don't know how much longer I can do this.

@bishbashbosh99

🤣🤣 *@esterwin* wind your neck in love, I've been at a networking event and only a mug would say no to the free champagne

Not on MN, bishbash. 🤣🤣

Won't someone think of the children?!!!

You are a burden to the NHS. Drink up because you will die in the next few hours due to drink whilst single-handedly bringing down the NHS.

[quote BarbarianMum]@SamW98 an infected person who is singing/shouting/exercising sheds more virus because they are breathing more deeply and more frequently. It's not magic, just science.[/quote]
Ah you mean like those in the (allowed) football stadium crowds then?

@sparemonitor - would you like my trigeminal neuralgia?
It's often known as the suicide disease and I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

It's invisible but yes a genuine exemption as the touch of a mask on the side of the face is more than enough to set off an attack for many people. Wind will do it for me.

@garlictwist

There's been a big outbreak of covid this week at my work - it's spread like wild fire and even (double) vaccinated people have tested positive. So sadly I don't think it's over.

And? The vaccine reduces likelihood of catching it, passing it on, falling ill enough to need hospital, or dying.

It doesn't mean no-one gets covid, ever. Because that's unachievable.

You have a long wait ahead of you if you think "over" means zero cases, ever.

Utterly terrifying that someone this judgemental has access to people's medical records.

There isn't a list of conditions which confer exemption. And your ignorance as to why survivors of rape may be unable to wear a mask speaks volumes about your understanding of the subject.

Really? Because I cannot count the number of times I had to work with a cold (both in hospitality AND in NHS clinical, patient facing roles roles) because it was that or get sanctioned for sick time. I even got told to come in once after asking my WARD MANAGER for advice because it was "just a cold"...... which turned out to be bacterial pneumonia!!
