"Good Morning All, Sorry if this has been covered already, but will clubs be asking if people attending have had the Vaccination and need to show proof before allowed in. Thanks in advance Ray" From the way things are planning out the risk once we have reached herd immunity will be far greater to the unvaccinated as the vaccinated won’t suffer such severe consequences from catching the virus but they can still pass it on. Personally if I was choosing not to accept the vaccination I’d be going nowhere near a club as the risk to me would be far greater than those that had accepted. | |||

"Let’s clear a few points up. 1). The vacation will NOT stop you catching the virus. 2). Neither will it stop you passing it on to anyone else. The best way of preventing this is, and will continue to be, the well worn mantra of Hands, Face, Space (and in the reverse order of importance). 3). However if you ARE vaccinated, IF you catch the virus, the symptoms WILL be MUCH LESS SEVERE and your chances of having permanent or long term life changing complications or DIEING will be SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED. 4). The health risks to an unvaccinated person who catches the virus are FANTASTICALLY, HUMONGOUSLY, GINORMOUSLY, GREATER than they are from having the vaccination. (An analogy said to me, “It’s the difference between sitting on your own in the middle of a large empty field waiting to be hit by a meteorite and attempting to cross the M25 blindfolded in rush hour). Everyone should have the vaccine, and those that don’t are BLOODY FOOLS. However it is a personal choice and there are, unfortunately, some people for whom the vaccine will cause problems because of other, often unrelated, health issues." It is good to find someone who understands how this vaccine works. The amount of times a day I see - well after the vaccine I will be immune or I've already had Covid so I'm immune - is quite scary. | |||

The vacation will NOT stop you catching the virus. this is not strictly true they've always said they are not sure how much it will stop transmission and in the last week the oxford vaccine has proved in trials that it could be up to 67% stop transmissions the other vaccines are thought to be similar but waiting for trials data ...67% will save alot more lives than none.. | |||

"How do you prove you've been vaccinated ? At the moment I believe they give you a little sticker ! Will that be sufficient to show at the door of your favourite club ! If you want a vaccination certificate ( I don't think they exist at the moment) then I assume the individual would have to make an application to their GP and pay for it, how much will it cost ? how long will the certificate be valid for (6 months ? a year ?). The most serious (legal) issue here is not only about freedom of choice but also around discrimination. Clubs asking clients to show proof of vaccination is a slippery slope to the courtroom - what next, clients to provide proof of a negative aids test or an STD test dated 3 days before entry! Clubs may have the right to ask, but individuals would have two options. 1. Tell the truth 2. Lie I fully agree with a previous comment in this thread and his very well stated points 1-4. Vaccination, helps to protect you, it does not give you immunity or guarantee that you will not pass it onto others. Life is about choices, you can be sensible and minimise the risks and get vaccinated or you don't. It's the same with clubs, I (we) assume from the majority of comments on here that most people would do the right thing. Reading the comments in the forums from club owners on this site it appears they are doing all they can to minimise risks that are under their control. There will always be those in the minority that for whatever reason will not get vaccinated and will still go to a club. Over time it will them that are at greatest risk and more likely to be seriously ill (they could still catch it from someone who has been vaccinated) - I think they call it karma ! That's life I'm afraid - each of us will have to decide for ourselves whether the risk of going to a club is worth it....or not ! "I can access details of my vaccination online on an app where I can see my medical notes | |||

However it is a personal choice and there are, unfortunately, some people for whom the vaccine will cause problems because of other, often unrelated, health issues." Yes, vaccination will not STOP you catching covid, and if you do catch it, it won't STOP you passing it on. But by the very nature of how vaccination works, it should do a lot to reduce the chances of both. A vaccine essentially pre-prepares your immune system to recognise the infecting virus or bacterium, and to have a ready made plan for how to kill it off. So in the best case scenario, the virus gets knocked out before it has any chance of replicating, there is zero disease, and no viral particles to pass onto others. However, next best is that the virus gets knocked out not instantly, but faster than it would have been without vaccination. So although there is some replication, some illness, the virus still gets knocked out while there is a lesser amount of it. Hence there is a lesser amount of viral particles to infect others with, and for a lesser time. If it's say half the viral load, for half the time, then that reduces the chance of passing it on by four. Instead of R being maybe 2 (ten infected people pass it on to twenty new people) it's now only 0.5 (ten infected people pass it on to only five new people). Hence once plenty of people are vaccinated, the number of new infections should shrink each generation of disease, instead of growing. Then as there are fewer infected people walking around, it becomes more unlikely of bumping into someone who is infectious, so that even unvaccinated people are made safer. While there are only a small number vaccinated, walking around in a population with quite a high level of infection, the vaccinated ones get _some_ protection, and uf they do catch covid _may_ have reduced symptoms. But once there are a large number vaccinated, 70% or so, then everybody gets _lots_and_lots_ of protection whether they are vaccinated or not, simply because everyone becomes unlikely to meet anyone that is still infected. Moral of the tale - we're all in the covid boat together, and we all get out of it together. Nobody is safe until everybody is safe. | |||

"If Covid isn't airborne why do we wear masks and stay 2m apart ?" The original rationale is that it's spread primarily in respiratory droplets from breathing, talking, etc. Which is different from airborne. I think (not up to date) some airborne transmission has since been shown, but masks and distance covers both | |||

Yup.

"Well that's what everyone is saying including doctors and others ,, but would love some evidence please on the vaccine stopping me and you passing and catching the virus , if it does then thats great but do think they want this to carry on , but hey hope everyone stays safe and we can all meet one day xx 1 - everyone is not saying that. A few people who have zero knowledge on the subject might be, usual Facebok and YouTube nitwits, blokes down the pub. 2 - presumably by "they" you mean the government. My question, why in the name of everything Holy would our government want this to continue? Purely in financial terms this is costing government billions. 3 - "If" our government want this to continue how do you explain why just about every country in the world (180+ countries at the last count) are all in the same boat?

"Let’s clear a few points up. 1). The vacation will NOT stop you catching the virus. 2). Neither will it stop you passing it on to anyone else. The best way of preventing this is, and will continue to be, the well worn mantra of Hands, Face, Space (and in the reverse order of importance). 3). However if you ARE vaccinated, IF you catch the virus, the symptoms WILL be MUCH LESS SEVERE and your chances of having permanent or long term life changing complications or DIEING will be SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED. 4). The health risks to an unvaccinated person who catches the virus are FANTASTICALLY, HUMONGOUSLY, GINORMOUSLY, GREATER than they are from having the vaccination. (An analogy said to me, “It’s the difference between sitting on your own in the middle of a large empty field waiting to be hit by a meteorite and attempting to cross the M25 blindfolded in rush hour). Everyone should have the vaccine, and those that don’t are BLOODY FOOLS. However it is a personal choice and there are, unfortunately, some people for whom the vaccine will cause problems because of other, often unrelated, health issues." What about the people who have the jab and die soon after of the virus? | |||

" What about the people who have the jab and die soon after of the virus?" The jab didn't kill them. They just didn't have time to build up antibodies before they caught the virus. | |||

" What about the people who have the jab and die soon after of the virus? The jab didn't kill them. They just didn't have time to build up antibodies before they caught the virus. " Agreed - it takes 2-3 weeks from the jab until you start to see protection from the studies We’ve been vaccinating in the middle of the highest peak in a pandemic - there are sadly, going to be a fair few people who catch it either just before or just after vaccination and just miss out of the protection it would’ve given them | |||

The Oxford vaccination has been proven to cut transmission by about 65%. | |||

"It doesnt really give permanent immunity, only temporary, so it would be quite hard for the clubs to determine, as noone knows the lenght of immunity time one have from the vaccine. So you could say ‘at the moment it’s showing us continued immunity’ they don’t have the data to show when immunity decreases so saying it doesn’t isn’t actually true Yes, so what isnt true about it? The bit where we've discussed this before and you were corrected and conceded
We know that immunity continues for the length of time that it has been studied so far. That does not mean that we know that the immunity is of limited duration. Please stop spreading misinformation.No. I didnt. I said that we had to agree to disagre on that topic, it doesnt give permanent immunity, the amount if time noone knows yet.
If we don't know how long immunity lasts, as you say, how can you say it's not permanent? On what basis based on what data?Because there are studies saying that it just lasts for few months so one might have to get it few times a year."I called you out 3 times now on different threads because you keep posting covid immunity doesn't last long as fact. That is NOT a FACT. Every time I call you out with facts, details, links to studies etc etc you never reply on the thread again. Instead moving to a different thread to spout more bullshit as fact. Typical lets drop a bullshit bomb and move on. We all know your an anti vaxxer and that is your right but spreading false information as fact is not. Nobody knows how long immunity lasts yet. All the signs and research is pointing towards it been long lasting but more evidence and studies are been done. Immunity is far more complex than just antibodies, there are t cells and b cells to consider. NO studies show that immunity only lasts a few months which is what you keep spouting as a fact (you have even called it a fact on many threads now). What your doing is spreading misinformation, its dangerous and wrong! As swing said immunity has just recently been found 17 years later in SARS 1 cornovirus surivivors. KJ | |||

"If Covid isn't airborne why do we wear masks and stay 2m apart ? The original rationale is that it's spread primarily in respiratory droplets from breathing, talking, etc. Which is different from airborne. I think (not up to date) some airborne transmission has since been shown, but masks and distance covers both " Are you sure about that? Poorly fitted masks, no thanks that doesn’t make me feel comfortable to “cover that”. We have seen the images of spread distance from a cough. Be careful what you tell people. | |||

Poorly fitted masks, no thanks that doesn’t make me feel comfortable to “cover that”. We have seen the images of spread distance from a cough. Be careful what you tell people. How far is the spread distance if someone's wearing a mask? E" There isn't such a thing as a definitive spread distance, masks or not. You have to think of it more as a cloud that dissipates with distance. I have a memory from a couple of years ago of being sat outside a pub after an MLS and about 20 or 30 feet away (7 to 10 metres) there was a person vaping. Every time they pulled in a great lung full and blew it out, there was a great long jet that shot in our direction. The people at my table were actually coughing from it. I have no doubt that if it happened now, that person could pass covid to people 10, 15 or even 20 metres away. On the other hand, if they had been exhaling slowly and gently, the vape would have been more a diluted cloud that spread only a metre or two in all directions. And if they had been exhaling with a mask, a lot of the vapor would be absorbed by the mask, with just part of it coming out at the sides. If the person was vaping indoors, a single breath would travel a short distance and any big droplets in it would drift to the ground. But if the person stayed indoors, with time a cloud of vape would build up spreading out further and further. Eventually all surfaces would be covered in a film of vape droplets, and the smell of it would pervade the entire room. So too, whether masked or not, a person carrying covid in an unventilated room will eventually be surrounded by a cloud of infectious particles that are gradually settling everywhere. In a well ventilated room it will be somewhat better as the cloud will be being blown out of the space (but bad news if you're the person next to the extractor fan, and all the covid in the room is being sucked past your head...). So: outdoors, walking past someone in the street - a couple of seconds with closest approach a couple of metres. Pretty safe. If neither of you are wearing masks then there is a little danger if the other person happens to blow out in your direction. If you are wearing a mask, it will filter out some as you breathe in. If they are wearing a mask, it will trap a lot as they breathe out. Outdoors standing talking to someone, a couple of metres apart. You're actually blowing vapor at each other as you talk. And you're exposed to each other for minutes instead of seconds. So could be a hundred times more dangerous than just passing in the street. Indoors, say shopping in a supermarket. Everyone needs to wear a mask to soak up as much droplets as possible when they breathe out, to minimise how much vapor is in the air. But if there's lots if people there, and you're present for a long time, and there's no extractor fans - it's dangerous even if you keep 10 metres away from everyone. Indoors sharing a living space or an office: if someone is infected, then you are all going to be exposed whether you wear masks or not, two metres or not. Then it's just down to how susceptible you happen to be... | |||

"Good Morning All, Sorry if this has been covered already, but will clubs be asking if people attending have had the Vaccination and need to show proof before allowed in. Thanks in advance Ray" I think everyone should have the vaccine.. Though clearly some do not want to which doesn't sit easy with me but there it is! With that in mind I would say maybe clubs need to bring in testing before being let in? Given the test results can now come back in around 20minutes or so. It would be fairly easy to test the odd one or two at the door who wanted to attend a club but were not able to show proof of being vaccinated. This might be even more convenient as turnaround times for results will I'm sure get quicker as time goes by. Still think people should consider having the jab.. Will make it easier for everyone in the long run | |||

"Just posted this morning - government will not roll out vaccine passport as it is deemed discriminatory. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/55970801 Mr Zahawi had previously said that the government was "looking at the technology" to create vaccine passports, leading to accusations from critics that civil liberties would be infringed. But speaking on the Marr show, Mr Zahawi insisted that was not the plan. He said there were several reasons why vaccine passports would not be introduced, not least because the vaccine was not mandatory in the UK. "That's not how we do things. We do them by consent," he said. Mr Zahawi said vaccine passports would be "discriminatory" and it wasn't clear what impact they would have on transmission of the virus. He said people could talk to their doctor if they needed written evidence to travel. "Of course you have the evidence that you have been vaccinated held by your GP and if other countries require you to show proof of that evidence then that is up to those countries," he said." They also said they can't dictate what other countries stipulate. I had first jab yesterday. I was given a card with a stamp and batch number on it.

"If Covid isn't airborne why do we wear masks and stay 2m apart ? The original rationale is that it's spread primarily in respiratory droplets from breathing, talking, etc. Which is different from airborne. I think (not up to date) some airborne transmission has since been shown, but masks and distance covers both Are you sure about that? Poorly fitted masks, no thanks that doesn’t make me feel comfortable to “cover that”. We have seen the images of spread distance from a cough. Be careful what you tell people. Yes, I am sure, thank you. This can be easily confirmed from reputable sites." So what you are saying is you know for fact that wearing a mask covers the risk arising from airborne droplets? I cannot see how you can say that, I can see you like to believe what you read and will quote that. Sorry you are wrong, I dont feel comfortable even with a mask, hence why the numbers are so high, you can’t tell me that in probably alot of cases people testing positive have been infected whilst wearing a mask, yes there are other means of becoming infected, surfaces etc. My simple reasoning is poor mask fitment, thats why I said be careful what you tell people. | |||

"Err, so it seems that peeps will have a vaccine to just get in to a club and get back to normal, lol , that's not happening, good luck xx" No. You asked if it could be caught having sex. Yes. You asked, then why have sex. I'm not until it's safe. I'll be vaccinated because a) I believe it's my civic duty, b) this is a serious disease I don't want to catch or pass on, c) because I do work with vulnerable people, d) to help end this global catastrophe, e) because it'll likely be required for travel, f) because said travel is required if I'm to ever see my family again. You'll notice in my first six reasons I don't use the words "sex", "swinging", or "clubs". | |||

"Just posted this morning - government will not roll out vaccine passport as it is deemed discriminatory. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/55970801 Mr Zahawi had previously said that the government was "looking at the technology" to create vaccine passports, leading to accusations from critics that civil liberties would be infringed. But speaking on the Marr show, Mr Zahawi insisted that was not the plan. He said there were several reasons why vaccine passports would not be introduced, not least because the vaccine was not mandatory in the UK. "That's not how we do things. We do them by consent," he said. Mr Zahawi said vaccine passports would be "discriminatory" and it wasn't clear what impact they would have on transmission of the virus. He said people could talk to their doctor if they needed written evidence to travel. "Of course you have the evidence that you have been vaccinated held by your GP and if other countries require you to show proof of that evidence then that is up to those countries," he said." I am actually quite disappointed by this.. How the hell is anyone now going to know who is safe to be sitting next to or standing next to.. Or isn't? This plan is going to go spectacularly something in one direction or another.. Either everyone will now say stuff your rules it makes no difference.. Or people will simply stop living and enjoying themselves again because they simple can't trust anyone anymore Shit government moves to screw it up again again frankly :/ | |||

Equally I would prefer getting on a plane with a full load of passengers that have been vaccinated. Who wouldn't? How would you know Depends where you are going,, but for example Greece are currently talking about nnot letting anyone in this summer if they have not been vaccinated. So to Nswer your question if I was going to Greece I would know " So they are talking about it and are you saying that the discrimination laws won't apply to an EU country?

This is a pandemic not a controlled state. Why stop at change the law to force medication. Tell me what you wouldn't like and we can change the law to annoy and destroy your life | |||

"Good Morning All, Sorry if this has been covered already, but will clubs be asking if people attending have had the Vaccination and need to show proof before allowed in. Thanks in advance Ray I think everyone should have the vaccine.. Though clearly some do not want to which doesn't sit easy with me but there it is! With that in mind I would say maybe clubs need to bring in testing before being let in? Given the test results can now come back in around 20minutes or so. It would be fairly easy to test the odd one or two at the door who wanted to attend a club but were not able to show proof of being vaccinated. This might be even more convenient as turnaround times for results will I'm sure get quicker as time goes by. Still think people should consider having the jab.. Will make it easier for everyone in the long run I have had my jab but you cannot force people to have the jab whatsoever.. There are many that cannot have the vaccine and yiu cannot discriminate unless you want a controlled state. Can't we Just take it as ' read' that if someone comments about who is or isn't having the jab they already include the people who' genuinely' can't have the jab for medical reasons etc.. Not the unwilling ' just because' ones. Would cut down a lot on the repetition in the forums maybe.. For what it's worth despite saying we can't force everyone else to have it I think we probably should.. As unpopular an opinion as it might be :/ FORCE ? Yes! But not like you think.. Sorry to disappoint you you ?? In other words if it was made mandatory is what I meant.. " That is a purely inflammatory post | |||

Maybe try and answer the post rather than attack the poster | |||

"If Covid isn't airborne why do we wear masks and stay 2m apart ? The original rationale is that it's spread primarily in respiratory droplets from breathing, talking, etc. Which is different from airborne. I think (not up to date) some airborne transmission has since been shown, but masks and distance covers both Are you sure about that? Poorly fitted masks, no thanks that doesn’t make me feel comfortable to “cover that”. We have seen the images of spread distance from a cough. Be careful what you tell people. Yes, I am sure, thank you. This can be easily confirmed from reputable sites. So what you are saying is you know for fact that wearing a mask covers the risk arising from airborne droplets? I cannot see how you can say that, I can see you like to believe what you read and will quote that. Sorry you are wrong, I dont feel comfortable even with a mask, hence why the numbers are so high, you can’t tell me that in probably alot of cases people testing positive have been infected whilst wearing a mask, yes there are other means of becoming infected, surfaces etc. My simple reasoning is poor mask fitment, thats why I said be careful what you tell people. My understanding is that the majority of spread is from droplets. If the mouth and nose are covered, then this will reduce the spread of droplets. Even if fit is imperfect. A barrier will also reduce airborne spread. If you're looking for perfect protection it doesn't exist. If you're looking for reasonable mitigation, masking and distancing still applies. (Along with hand and other hygiene, although fomite transmission is I believe a minority of risk) Yes pretty reasonable statement as long as you understand that the masks are only effective like that for about 20 minutes " I got told at a hospital induction to change if it got dirty, wet or you have touched the inside of it, im sure thats about it but might be wrong. | |||

"Clubs won’t do this - they would be better off focusing on a sexual health check than this but for privacy reasons they can’t. A club can in theory deny anyone admission but they are there to make money. Let’s face it though it’s going to be at least a year till any council gives the go ahead for a club to open." To be fair, you're saying that as though it's wrong for a club to make money. It's a business and all businesses are there to make money otherwise they wouldn't exist. Is there any substance behind your opinion that it'll be st least a year for the council's to give the go ahead? | |||

"Also I’ve done everything and I mean everything asked of me, Ive shielded alone with no help, I’ve missed important hospital appointments , ive driven myself crazy sitting inside these four walls, even when we were allowed out, I didn’t go out just to be on the safe side until I felt comfortable, and now, seeing this, that because I can’t have a Covid vaccine because I could die from it.,.. I shouldt be allowed to have my type of fun..., think this is the most sad I’ve felt "I would guess its a bit like what happens to people who are allergic to penicillin. In that the scientists will be already working on an alternative vaccine so that people such as yourself will be able to take it .. so you might have to wait a little bit maybe.I am feeling like things will work out fine of course. Though no one really knows at the moment what is really going to happen with all this. | |||

"Yes I would agree with this, the flu vaccine for example wasn't available for use to anybody he was allergic to eggs but now that is not the case. Also hopefully enough people who can have The vaccine will so there it will offer protection to people who cannot have it. Their is hope so don't despair just yet. X | |||

"Let’s clear a few points up. 1). The vacation will NOT stop you catching the virus. 2). Neither will it stop you passing it on to anyone else. The best way of preventing this is, and will continue to be, the well worn mantra of Hands, Face, Space (and in the reverse order of importance). 3). However if you ARE vaccinated, IF you catch the virus, the symptoms WILL be MUCH LESS SEVERE and your chances of having permanent or long term life changing complications or DIEING will be SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED. 4). The health risks to an unvaccinated person who catches the virus are FANTASTICALLY, HUMONGOUSLY, GINORMOUSLY, GREATER than they are from having the vaccination. (An analogy said to me, “It’s the difference between sitting on your own in the middle of a large empty field waiting to be hit by a meteorite and attempting to cross the M25 blindfolded in rush hour). Everyone should have the vaccine, and those that don’t are BLOODY FOOLS. However it is a personal choice and there are, unfortunately, some people for whom the vaccine will cause problems because of other, often unrelated, health issues." Point 3. Where is the evidence? | |||

"Club owner here! There are so many questions that we can't give definite answers to right now and lots of repeated answers, but here we go again.... Clubs probably will not rely on vaccine alone. I know we won't anyway! We will be hoping to use a combination of vaccination, fast testing and good hygiene practices to re-open. This depends on a lot of factors and you can follow my green arrow if you want to know more, as I literally discussed this for the 50th time yesterday lol "In the real world.. You will be told under what conditions you can reopen.. If at all. That's how this shit show has worked from day one.. Just being realistic | |||
