New thread Tierers ...

[quote WouldBeGood]@ecceromani I said on the local Facebook page that reindeer were known to be rife with Covid and they removed it as spreading misinformation 🤣[/quote]

OMG
Slightly lacking GSOH

The reindeer probably couldn't get the facial recognition to work on their covid status app

🤣

I reckon if Queen Nic had the power of furlough again then we would be back in lockdown already.

I don’t say this lightly but I’m praying Boris stays as PM - reckon if he’s replaced we might all be doomed

@Scottishskifun

I'm not cancelling any Christmas plans regardless of what they say. We were good little citizens last year and my FIL missed out on his last one spent with his grandchildren before he died this year. No way am I repeating cancelling plans for "the greater good" or whatever message they decide to put in a crappy advert!

That's awful. I'd feel exactly the same in your shoes. I just don't understand what they are seeing that indicates we need to do more.

They probably want to justify extending their emergency powers beyond March.

People will ignore it but that won’t help businesses and hospitality

If they introduce vaccine passports loads of folk will cancel their nights out too. It'll not be worth the (perceived) hassle.

Very true! DH said there are already concerns work wise about "how to get business buy in"..... He rightly stated why should they there isn't evidence to back it up but is evidence that it effects businesses...... Was proud of him!

@runningpink oh definitely if she had power of furlough nightclubs, softplays and anything with any amount of fun would be shut still!

Yep @Haudyourwheesht. And that affects the clothes shops, hairdressers, beauticians, bands, discus, food suppliers.. the list goes on

So what's everyone's bet on today's announcement?
Mine is extending vaccine passport to indoor events over certain size (?200)

I'll play.

Extending passports to restaurants after 6pm, pubs, theatres, cinemas so as to avoid further restrictions

And advising that "the virus hasn't gone anywhere" and to exercise "caution".

yep, extension of current restrictions to anywhere more than two people unless your name is Nicola and you own a red suit? Santa is currently declaring that he is trans and changed Nicolas to Nicola in order to flout the passport requirement so that he can visit as normal. The wee green imps in the Green party trying to inveigle themselves into the elf community despite no-one voting for them or liking them.

Does anyone know how long it takes for your booster to show on your vaccine app? 2 weeks? It's not on mine yet 6 days after I had it.

They won't show on app. There's no plan to put them on yet @LizzieMacQueen

Here goes......

Oh, thanks @ecceromani, so my passport won't expire 6 months after vacc'n no2? I really should research this myself.

Asking people to LFT before any socialising including shopping

Get the booster
Get the booster
And I think she mentioned getting the booster

She can ram that

Here Here titsintiers

I'm due to go to the theatre this weekend. It's something that's been rescheduled from June 2020. There's no danger I'm taking an LFT if I feel well and risk not being able to go.

Booster AND mask AND LFT before a wee spin around Tesco?

Do one ya fanny.
