I feel like people have the mentality that it's over now, now that a vaccine is on the way. So... It's gonna get much worse before it gets better, I fear.

People are terrible.

Just caught the news on the way out about the meeting tomorrow morning with Gove and the devolved governments.

So because Londons covid cases are rising let's screw the rest of the country whom have had tough lockdown measures for a long time.

Should of had a 1 size fits all from day 1.

Doesn't suit London so screw everyone is what it seems like, we know its not but this government has to be the worst in the history of politics.

I'm going for 6 from 2 households as the new Xmas announcement.

But it does depend on Wales, Ireland and what Nicole says

I’m putting some heavy pressure on my family to cancel the get together at Christmas. I have a very vulnerable father who thinks one day will be fine.

I feel it’s the sensible thing to do in the long run. The end maybe in sight so it would be silly to break now.

Or you could think of it another way, a new variant spreading through the south east that infects quicker than other variants, just short of 10 million people (just London numbers) that could potentially mix with 2 other households around the country.

As I’ve said previously the Christmas break has always been a farce and should never have been agreed, T2 & T3 cannot mix indoors in normal circumstances, you are not supposed to travel out of T3 but for those five days it doesn’t matter - ludicrous

Our family took the decision in the summer Christmas meeting wouldn’t be happening this year.

Three sons cancelled our Christmas, we had decided not to meet anyway even though all local. The reason the sons and grandkids cancelled was to give us a chance of a few more times at Christmas to spend with them, Corona will still be around next Christmas but hopefully more under control by then. Shame more people dont act responsibly and have the moral fibre not to see their parents and grandparents suffer.

Its simple. We have worked all the way through this, without any meaningful PPE. We have even been told to delete the NHS app off our phones or else....

We dont know anyone who has been seriously ill and we have not been ill ourselfs.

We have more years behind us than in front and we are not wasting our lifes away. We intend to carry on as normal as we have done all the way through this

So you have an im alright right attitude that doesn't make it any less selfish.

The fact that you say you have carried on as normal suggests it's people like you that are the problem because nobody should have been carrying on as normal this year has been far from normal.

We have worked much harder than any normal year this year.

Most of the year the mr has spent working away from home.

Cant work means no money .

So it's been a normal year .

Or are we selfish for working so hard?

Yep, it doesn't get more selfish and idiotic. Not a care for anyone except themselves , total disregard for the law . Looks like their friends, family and themselves are immune - lucky them . 65000(so far) poor souls weren't so fortunate.

Not sure why its idiotic? We have not been ill and none of our friends and family have been either.

We have wroked hard all year, come into contact with lots of people in the course of our work with no ill effects.

Calling us names rather than putting up a valid argument is a bit pathetic to be honest

But it isnt about the risk factor just for their little circle is it, it's for the whole population otherwise these restrictions wouldn't be in place.

Also nobody can be sure of their risk factor or their risk factor of long covid.

A friend of mines died from covid and as far as he and they were concerned he was a fit and healthy 57 year old.

It wasn't until he was admitted to hospital with covid that they found he had a heart condition and the hospital said it was almost certainly the two things combined made him so ill.

To be fair no one in this thread has said they are breaking or broke the rules. Individuals going to work daily doesn’t break the rules. Even those that have said having Christmas as normal, doesn’t mean they are breaking the rules.

The Christmas free for all was announced for some dubious reasons I'm sure, including controlling people some time back. It was a ridiculous measure that stated that infection levels, nor Tier controls don't really matter. That's so irresponsible and so very dangerous.

I'd prefer the lightest of adjustments to each individuals tier, if we are to have relaxation.

"Just caught the news on the way out about the meeting tomorrow morning with Gove and the devolved governments.

So because Londons covid cases are rising let's screw the rest of the country whom have had tough lockdown measures for a long time.

Should of had a 1 size fits all from day 1.

Sturgeon is behind this she wants it?

Doesn't suit London so screw everyone is what it seems like, we know its not but this government has to be the worst in the history of politics.

I'm going for 6 from 2 households as the new Xmas announcement.

But it does depend on Wales, Ireland and what Nicole says "

Hairdressers can open in tier 3 anywhere in the country. It was during lockdown they couldn't open.

"Ours will be going ahead as planned. Those that want to come can, those that are worried can stay away

I never understand attitudes like this!

Its simple. We have worked all the way through this, without any meaningful PPE. We have even been told to delete the NHS app off our phones or else....

We dont know anyone who has been seriously ill and we have not been ill ourselfs.

We have more years behind us than in front and we are not wasting our lifes away. We intend to carry on as normal as we have done all the way through this

So you have an im alright right attitude that doesn't make it any less selfish.

The fact that you say you have carried on as normal suggests it's people like you that are the problem because nobody should have been carrying on as normal this year has been far from normal.

Yep, it doesn't get more selfish and idiotic. Not a care for anyone except themselves , total disregard for the law . Looks like their friends, family and themselves are immune - lucky them . 65000(so far) poor souls weren't so fortunate.

Not sure why its idiotic? We have not been ill and none of our friends and family have been either.

We have wroked hard all year, come into contact with lots of people in the course of our work with no ill effects.

Calling us names rather than putting up a valid argument is a bit pathetic to be honest"

I agree, it's a bit harsh to say that without knowing anything about the circumstances that meant you've had to work right through all of this.

I'm very conscious of the fact that there are many who didn't have the 'protection' of being able to work from home during all of this. There are loads of our fellow citizens who have had to go out on the 'frontline' every day, putting themselves at risk just to deliver services to the rest of us. Its a bit mean to resent them for not succumbing to infection in the face of all that. And on top of all that, say it's the 'likes of them' who put the rest of us at risk!

Just putting this out there... but is it possible that those who did have to work 'externally' throughout have now developed a degree of immunity? Given so many report they haven't succumbed and neither has anyone they know... makes me wonder anyway.

As someone who has worked in a front line key worker role without a great deal of protection (especially during lockdown 1).

I can say after taking those risks 5 to 6 days every week for the last 9 months to keep vital services going there's nothing worse than been looked down upon and judged by those who had the luxury of been protected by working from home through all of this.

The old adage "walk a mile in my shoes" springs to mind.

I don't think it's stupid at all.

We all see things differently and for many having a few restrictions for a short period of time is a price worth paying and for some isn't but I doubt it will be forever.

The only bullshit I see is in your post. The Isle of Man locked down and did so properly. Idiots who breached their laws were treated appropriately. The have currently only 4 cases and they are going about their lives all but normally. We could have been in a similar position of people actually did what was asked of them.

There are regulars on the forums who since the pandemic started have slagged off the government for decisions they have made.

Funny how now they are determined to meet family and friends for Christmas because the government have said its ok to do so.

We are in a tiered system for a reason.

It's not safe to mix.

It's not surprising that those who have adhered to the rules are pissed off.

I repeat it is not safe to meet ... just because we are told we can do something doesnt mean we have to.

Lots of people who don't have to luck to work from home are out there every day risking catching the virus.

If it's been acceptable for them to take that risk for the last 9 or so months then I think it right that in a limited way they can meet family for a short period of time. If we can trust them to not spread the virus when they are keeping our economy going I think we should trust them to keep their own family safe.

Like scores of others I've missed my loved ones this year. I have 3 children and 6 grandchildren, I've told them that this Christmas I'll go visit 2 of the children, place the grandchildrens presents on their doorsteps, ring the doorbell and step back (wearing my mask) and spend a few minutes socially distanced with each. I'm at my 3rd childs house for Christmas dinner (I'm in her support bubble for her chid care). It's not an ideal Christmas scenario, but I'm certain in myself that it beats the alternative.

Mate it comes across to me that because you worked through it...your spitting your dummy out as far as the vvirus concerned.

You were your own health and safety officer who should have demanded PPE.

I personally bought me own and have worn masks from lockdown where needed.

You say you know of no one who has caught this....all I can say is yet!

But even that shows a total lack of empathy to the many thousands who have struggled through this or lost thier family members.

You were your own health and safety officer who should have demanded PPE.

I personally bought me own and have worn masks from lockdown where needed.

You say you know of no one who has caught this....all I can say is yet!

But even that shows a total lack of empathy to the many thousands who have struggled through this or lost thier family members.

The virus will spread this xmas and I truly hope you dont lose someone to it...but a little empathy from you would go a long way..."

"The virus has gone through the rook with the schools being opened. So the school holiday should put a dent in it. Added to that the vaccine so it will be fine. Looking for to a great family Christmas dinner. "

I'm not sure that's true re: virus going through the roof with schools being open.

Certainly hasn't been the case at the high school my kids attend... over 1200 kids and less than 10 incidents in 3 months. Mine have not been asked to isolate once.

ok you follow and believe everything that the government and sage say, so you're happy and the world's ok. Try saying anything against sage or government advice and your social media is shut down, when as any medical person been allowed to speak out. MSM no debate only the government line, no freedom of speech no right to protest (BLM exculed) no debate. But that's ok because its for your safety, read that line in German circular 1938. Without free debate its dictatorial rule, but people dont want debate because MSM told them they don't need it trust us.

The convenient 'experts' consisting of people who have been struck off or are experts in totally unrelated subjects?

The reason they are removed from social media is because they are purveyors of fake information and we have enough problems without providing a soapbox to these idiots seeking to gather other gullible acolytes.

"Ours will be going ahead as planned. Those that want to come can, those that are worried can stay away

I never understand attitudes like this!

Its simple. We have worked all the way through this, without any meaningful PPE. We have even been told to delete the NHS app off our phones or else....

We dont know anyone who has been seriously ill and we have not been ill ourselfs.

We have more years behind us than in front and we are not wasting our lifes away. We intend to carry on as normal as we have done all the way through this

Yep .. I’m alright jack .. don’t worry about the people who are in a ventilator, struggling to pull through .

Walk around with blinkers if you like . Enjoy your later years , don’t even consider some families who won’t get that chance ..

Everyone has a right to choose what they want to do , but your view saddens me

So it's been ok for us to work all the way through without PPE? I come into contact with around 60 people a day within the course of my work and that's ok but if I want to have a drink with a friend afterwards it's not? We have both risked our health on a daily basis for the last 9 months to keep the country going and help people, it's your attitude that's saddens us

The virus will spread this xmas and I truly hope you dont lose someone to it...but a little empathy from you would go a long way... would you care to highlight anywhere on this thread where I have "spat my dummy out"? As for empathy, we have selflessly worked all the way though this to assist our fellow man, to be called selfish is frankly laughable"

The great thing for experts is that respected credible professional media exist for them to publish in full whatever evidence or insight that their expertise relates to. This past year has proved how well this works, with experts globally sharing their credible work with the world.

By contrast, many self-proclaimed people of importance have been imposing dangerous garbage, typically hitting the gullible and ignorant, with catastrophic consequences. Reputable specialists do use some social and other media outlets but their professional expertise is published appropriately elsewhere. If they have no published material evidence, they aren't a good source of data.

The Internet is a tremendously powerful tool. It's wise to be discriminating in how we use it. If we are uncertain of the quality of data from governments, we can direct our focus on to the sources that are open to the publication of esteemed scientists' work. Think of anything else as akin to hearsay, which can be subject to any biases

We will be totally ignoring all Christmas rules. We have an 80 year old member of family who was stuck in hospital alone and scared because no vistors were allowed. They are happy to take there chances so the rest of us our.

Another older members who's partner died alone in hospital with Zero contact for over a week. Not even updates from the hospital dispite being called over and over again. (This hospital in question was not in a bad Covid hit area so it wasnt due them being over run)

They have choosen to ignore rules to be with the family.

I Personally will be mixing with a number of other household through sevrral traditional meet ups.

We are having a Covid free Christmas.

Millions of children will not mixing at school for 2 weeks or more so I'm sure we can have upto 3 households mixing Christmas day and still have an over all reduction in the rise of infections.

My personal example will be my daughter will reduce her contact from 200 other kids down to mixing with her nan and grandad

I'll be reducing my contact from at least 20 people while I'm not going into work over Christmas to 2 extra people as above for Christmas day.

The latest trajectories indicate that it’s highly likely that the next national lockdown will be February. The impact of the 5 day free for all, because let’s face it the masses are going to do what the hell they want, won’t be felt until the end of January and the numbers escalate rapidly thereafter.

Although the R number is falling and rates in many areas is down the impact on the NHS is still being get and in felt hospital admissions continue to increase despite the last lockdown and the tier restrictions. Very worrying given that by now empty bed numbers should start to increase and they are not. Equally first week of January is historically the start of winter proper for the NHS so all this points to a very difficult few months ahead.

Whilst the vaccine programme has started the full effect of that won’t be felt until the end of May 2021 and even then that’s reliant on a really high uptake. Clearly whilst the anti vaxxers are out sharing scare stories this could impact the effectiveness of that programme which pushes us further into future waves of Covid.
