You won't be able to go down the pub if the owners are isolating as part of the 100000+ case

The requirements to isolate will go, Javid is very CV sceptic, as is Boris, so i expect super hi infections wont concern them.

Baileysforchristmas · 29/06/2021 08:33

Come the summer holidays I bet the numbers go right down, when everyone stops testing healthy children twice a week.

Pubs have been open for months and not one in my city has had to close yet.

100000+ cases, you say? By when, this time?

Bordois · 29/06/2021 08:34

The problem you have now nanny is that hardly anyone is frightened by large case numbers any more.

TheVampiresWife · 29/06/2021 08:44

@Bordois

The problem you have now nanny is that hardly anyone is frightened by large case numbers any more.
That's a because most people can see that vaccines work at preventing serious illness in the vast majority of people and that the last time we had 20k cases a day, almost 1000 people a day were dying. Three people died yesterday - three too many, of course, but you can see why the fear has largely gone. And that's a good thing, surely?
Bordois · 29/06/2021 09:15

Absolutely. So nanny can doomplop as many cases as they want, but its meaningless.

Rosehip10 · 29/06/2021 09:21

nanny "there will be 100,000 cases by 21st june" and john

Bordois · 29/06/2021 09:22

100k + by the 19th July now.

Which may happen i suppose, but its no longer hide under the bed stuff anymore, which is good.

Arrowheart · 29/06/2021 09:58

Another day, another doom post from Nanny.

ineedaholidaynow · 29/06/2021 11:59

I wonder what sort of things will continue after the 19th, even if it is end of lockdown.

They are talking about ending isolation for contacts at school, but replacing it with testing for 10 days instead. So not total freedom then. And I assume if you refuse to do the testing the child will still have to isolate and will probably be easier to see who would be flouting the isolation rules if most pupils are in school

MN is hilarious. "We've all had enough. This is ridiculous. We won't stand for it anymore! So do one covid". Do you all live under a rock. Covid is going no where and unfortunately we can't live like more covid. Adapt or moan... your choice.

SonnetForSpring · 29/06/2021 12:08

Like pre covid

SonnetForSpring · 29/06/2021 12:10

What is also hilarious are the number of people quoting boris, hancock and javid! Wake up.

Thewiseoneincognito · 29/06/2021 12:21

@SonnetForSpring it’s madness. People are so blinded by this concept of Freedom Day they don’t actually fathom it will result in the absolute opposite come autumn if not before.

Cognitio

Come sept every adult will be double jabbed

Kids impact is negligible in terms of hospitalisations etc

Who are these people who are going to overwhelm the nhs?

It copes with 40,000 hospitalisations in January

I think I’ll be fine 😆

Watapalava · 29/06/2021 12:30

What’s funny is everyone on here thinks they know more than those who ah e the data

The vaccine works and people can’t help but negative

Even with Scottish rose in cases, because predominantly in men under 40, they aren’t adding restrictions or surge testing now because they recognise no bigger impact

It really is over

Are you Donald Trump in disguise?

No testing doesn't mean no cases.

@Bordois

100k + by the 19th July now.

Which may happen i suppose, but its no longer hide under the bed stuff anymore, which is good.

I should reiterate - 100000 reported cases.

The actual number will be quite a bit higher.

RosaMoline · 29/06/2021 12:49

If all goes according to plan 🤞I predict the usual suspects (endless scaremongering posts) will go very quiet indeed.

Wata

I can’t help but feel you don’t really believe what you’re saying judging by your emojis.

You also seem very keen on rushing things without any consideration of potential issues, noticeable from all your comments.

I think you’re going to be proven wrong, but we shall see.

Watapalava · 29/06/2021 12:52

Nanny

Say it does go to 100,000 cases

Which is 5 x more than now

That would put hospitalisations (even if % now stayed same - which it won’t because of vaccines) then that would be 6000 or so in hospital

There were 40,000 at peak

So you see 100,000 really didn’t that big of a deal

I’ll certainly still be here 🙋🏻‍♀️ So that prediction is wrong

I'll be very happy if things turn out ok.

But the data says we're deep in the shit.

Watapalava · 29/06/2021 12:53

I’m keen to follow data

All experts agree the data looks fine

Watapalava · 29/06/2021 12:54

Nanny

On what planet are you on

Do you have secret data no one knows about 🙄🤣

Everyone who has the data says the data looks great

God give it up!
