Are we locking down again?

And if so will they do more of the furlough and shutting things down?

Schools?

Please No!

I’m reading that this might be happening.

If they do lockdown, they should only lockdown unvaccinated people who are over 16+ years old. That's what they do in some other countries.

Which countries? And how is it enforced?

Austria has just announced they are doing this.

I have seen it threatened, but not come to fruition.

Good luck policing that one....why don't we just line all the unvaccinated up and shoot them while we at it! People like you are scary!

I would let them shoot me too. Fuck living in a world like that.

If cases go up further it will apparently be introduced.

@SapereAude

That seems unfair, seeing as the vaccinated can still spread Covid too, so absolutely are also responsible for cases going up.

This just seems like more coercion to me. Also not sure how a 'stay at home' order just for the unvaccinated would be enforced... unless you have police/army on every corner checking everyone's papers.

Sinister as hell. Maybe get the unvaccinated to wear something to show that they are different to everyone else. Maybe a red cloak.

I'm guessing you'd have to show your Green Pass, much in the same way Italy, Spain and other places had to have the declaration in the first lockdown.
I bet they'd bloody enforce it in Austria as well. Not exactly known for woolly liberalism and freedom of the individual these days.

Yes, Green Pass to get into something.... but a Green Pass to leave your house?

@PinkSparklyPussyCat

If you're having a go at me I was actually quoting another poster hence the first sentence being bold!

I do realise that and I wasn't quoting or having a go at you.

Apologies @Medievalist, I took your comment about A&E and ordering the new LFTs as being directed at me. I seemed to cause a bit of a hoo ha with my comment about not wanting to do LFTs and thought this was a continuation!
