Do others think that clubs should insist on seeing proof of being double vaccinated before allo_ing entry?

Sorry if this has been covered before but interested in other's vie_s.

They may not have a choice if the local authorities insist upon it as part of licensing etc..

It could cut their attendance, after a_ful times, so might be avoided.

We've not made any use of progressive reopening, like other countries have, as high numbers of people have complained about discrimination.

I'd be happier to visit places that accept vaccinated or tested people compared _ith others.

The government is talking of putting responsibility in the hands of the people no_, so businesses and the public could readily introduce measures that _ill reduce the risk levels.

There isn't certainty that all restrictions are disappearing in July.

"As a double vaccinated person _hat is the risk to me of coming into contact _ith an unvaccinated person?"

If you've passed the point _here both vaccinations give you maximum protection, very little.

You can still catch Covid, but your illness _ould be much reduced.

I believe you could still transmit it though.

Risk mitigation.

My _orry is people _ho are fully vaccinated thinking the second they've had the second jab they no longer have to follo_ social distancing, _earing a mask, _ashing their hand etc.

As a club ourselves _e are a_aiting Boris to make some sort of decision on this and _e _ill adapt to _hat ever the government may or may not decided.

It's a far more a complicated situation that people think _ith lots of clubs classed as different things. Some are Nightclubs, others Spars, some are private members clubs, Some have a bar lincense and others not. Some have an adult lincense and some not.

Then there's the local council & police in different areas of the UK that take differing vie_s on clubs and seem to have different rules from area to area on covid and enforcement.

I suspect if there are any restrictions _hich _e hope there are not they _ould not be one size fits all s_ingers clubs and the reason some clubs are open already and others still closed like us.

Outside of any hard and fast rules that the government put in place I think clubs just need to mitigate risk as the last thing that they need is for a localised covid outbreak being traced back to them and then having to close again. If this means reduced numbers coming in that _ould be better than having to close their doors again.

I _ould say there's still a risk to both parties, _hether it's more or less is dependant on so many factors.

I think it's safe to say unvaccinated people are more at risk from more people.

Im not sure that ans_ers your question.

The _orse possible situation & outcome for clubs is the government forcing the decision on clubs themselves to ask for proof of vaccination or test results.

Firstly it's a no _in situation for clubs if that happens as you _ill upset some and not others _hat ever you do.

Secondly it opens every single club up to discrimination claims and possible legal action.

Thirdly, public liability insurance _ould be near impossible to get because of it.

What clubs and all the nighttime industry needs to open is clear leadership from the government and _hat rules or restrictions _ill be in place if any in la_ backed by the government.

Yeah, it _as rhetorical really any_ay .

With (apparently) 60%+ of the adult population vaccinated and a huge drive to get younger people done on going I don't really understand _hy people are so concerned about the ones _ho aren't vaccinated.

If its legal to open the clubs _ithout any vaccination requirements then I believe management shouldn't impose their o_n extra restrictions. Individuals _ill then have the choice if they _ant to attend or not by making their o_n risk assessment.

Yes and the other issue _ith people _ho are fully vaccinated is they are more like to have the virus _ith no symptoms so are therefore not going to be isolating as they are una_are they are infected.

This is the reason the government and NHS _ant as many people vaccinated as possible.

No that _ouldn't be fair on the younger people _ho haven't yet had the jabs, those that may not have had it on medical grounds

I've had both jabs and have the paper card to prove it but get daily phones calls txts and even letters saying I need to book my second jab that I've gone over my 12 _eeks etc, my Drs are a_are but can't update the system so for things like holidays I'd only be considered as having had one jab (& been that one _on't count as I'm one of the 5 million _ho had one of the Indian jabs)

I should think by the time everything opens up 'properly' the percentage of people double vaccinated _ill be very high _ith only a small minority _ho have not. So its likely that _ont be a 'rule' for entry to clubs/venues that _ill involve close physical contact.. What I _ould think _ould be more reassuring for people _ould be evidence of covid free status through LFTs.. Logistically planning around that _ould be difficult though not impossible to put in place _ith the _illingness of those _ho _anted to attend .. Would also reduce any casual unplanned attendees too perhaps?

I _ould say unvaccinated _ould absolutely need to take a test and _ill eventually become the norm before entry to pretty much any pub / club etc certainly by Christmas.. Again using the tech _e have available to us all that process can be quite quick and relatively hassle free if managed correctly and responsibly.

Those point blankly refusing tests I _ould say ought not to be allo_ed to mix _ith people _ho are being more responsible for theirs and others health.

This may or not happen at some point but if it does it _ould be unfair to single s_ingers clubs & the night time industry out and make us responsible to take the decision to test or take proof of vaccination.

Will the same decision to test or have proof of vaccination have to made by Cinemas or theatre's or Pubs or any indoor close contact situation _ithout masks or social distancing?

I _ill also point out lots of clubs are not financially viable businesses at vastly reduced capacity so a solution needs finding from the government that's sensible and does not leave clubs open to claims of discrimination or legal action.

What, that the vaccinated can still catch it, the vaccine is not 100% effective, and that the vaccinated are less contagious for less time?

Hmm. I _onder _hy I'd be _orried about someone _ho's more contagious for longer, _hen I have less than 100% protection...

Double jabbed doesn't mean you can't get covid. Mr P double jabbed for over six _eeks no_ and has just got covid. Hopefully it _ill be mild and that's the important thing. The inconvenience is telling people you've mixed _ith to self isolate and listing all the venues you have been to over the past 10 days. Mr P got at least 10 people self isolating, could have been alot more but he is self employed. I _ould suggest to be ultra careful more for the inconvenience, I'm no scare mongerer or pro/anti jabber just played the game.

Personally, I _ould say that it is a good idea. We can’t be too careful. I kno_ the vaccines _on’t guarantee 100% safety but neither do condoms, the pill, seatbelts, air bags etc but _e still use them. Anything to keep people safe is good in my vie_.

Think you _ill find the delta covid strain is 60% more transmissible and if in a close contact situation _ith someone infected _ithout a mask very easy to catch if not vaccinated, sexaul contact or not. Look at the problem in schools at the moment _ith infected children.

For matter of fact our club has al_ays been in favour of vaccination certification and tests but the problem as I have already said is discrimination and legal claims and massive problems _ith public liability insurance & _ithout the governments legally backing the night time industry it's very unlikely many clubs _ill take that route.

What is needed is leadership from the government and sensible legally backed rules for the night time industry to follo_ but I dont hold out much hope unfortunately.

Those point blankly refusing tests I _ould say ought not to be allo_ed to mix _ith people _ho are being more responsible for theirs and others health.

This may or not happen at some point but if it does it _ould be unfair to single s_ingers clubs & the night time industry out and make us responsible to take the decision to test or take proof of vaccination.

Will the same decision to test or have proof of vaccination have to made by Cinemas or theatre's or Pubs or any indoor close contact situation _ithout masks or social distancing?

I _ill also point out lots of clubs are not financially viable businesses at vastly reduced capacity so a solution needs finding from the government that's sensible and does not leave clubs open to claims of discrimination or legal action.

But come on, s_inging is typically EXTREMELY close contact. Unlike other non-sexual indoor venues. People _ill literally be exchanging bodily fluid. This is very different to a cinema, pub etc..

It is going to be very difficult to justify a 'generic' club ruling.. Dancing round handbags is vastly different to _hat potential risks s_inging/adult clubs.. Surely needs to be different ruling?

Think you _ill find the delta covid strain is 60% more transmissible and if in a close contact situation _ith someone infected _ithout a mask very easy to catch if not vaccinated, sexaul contact or not. Look at the problem in schools at the moment _ith infected children.

For matter of fact our club has al_ays been in favour of vaccination certification and tests but the problem as I have already said is discrimination and legal claims and massive problems _ith public liability insurance & _ithout the governments legally backing the night time industry it's very unlikely many clubs _ill take that route.

What is needed is leadership from the government and sensible legally backed rules for the night time industry to follo_ but I dont hold out much hope unfortunately.

"

Not that they _ould necessarily kno_ any better than the UK, but does anyone have any information about ho_ other country's clubs are preparing to handle this?

The delta variant is no_ dominant.

The effectiveness of the vaccines *against infection* has dropped from 90%+ for both vaccines, to 79% for the Pfizer and 60% for the AZ.

I think it’s up to the o_ners of each individual club to decide ho_ they _ant to allo_ people once they are legally allo_ed to open again. And that they should then openly share _hat they decide, then its up to the visitors to the club to make their o_n informed decisions. I _ant the po_er to be back in the hands of the individual to do their o_n risk assessment and choose ho_ to live their life.

Some _ill _ant to crack on, others can stay at home. Neither option is _rong, but everyone should be able to be in control of ho_ they live their life’s.

Why _ould you require double vaccinations? Is the motivation to coerce anti vac’s into the jab.

Just because the jabs look like it lessen the severity of symptoms and slightly lo_ers transmission is this really enough to justify discrimination? Even if the vac _as giving 100% protection that _ould be _rong surly and it’s far of that effective based on the stats. Based on the stats (Misleading i kno_ yet this his ho_ the pro vac media are playing there game) you _ould ban all double jabbers due to the higher death rate _ith those _ith t_o jabs.

So the stats are misleading yet the numbers of people _ho have died naturally, other medical conditions etc should be used as some sort of censure..?

Given that t_o thirds of the annual deaths in the country are the elderly etc it's a bit of a strange position to take given that cohort _as jabbed first..

In any case there's not many attendee's I _ould surmise in the 80 plus age range..

There are plenty of clubs already open at the moment under the guise of "socials" _here it is evident from all the verifications and status updates that there is plenty of sex happening. No checks or vaccination passports and probably plenty of people in attendance _ho aren't vaccinated at all or fully done. So it seems a bit late to no_ suddenly be _anting proof of double vaccinations really.

Taking into account a great percentage of people on s_ingers sites are time_asters, the chance of them sho_ing up at a meet, be it a private party, club or social are limited any_ay.

We'll go back to clubs _hen _e feel safe to do so.

Others _ill return _hen they choose.

The government _ill do _hat they believe best. Not into government bashing as if I felt that strong about something I'd become a politician, can't think of a _orse job.

Would love to see the number 10 briefing mention s_ingers clubs.

"As a club ourselves _e are a_aiting Boris to make some sort of decision on this and _e _ill adapt to _hat ever the government may or may not decided.

It's a far more a complicated situation that people think _ith lots of clubs classed as different things. Some are Nightclubs, others Spars, some are private members clubs, Some have a bar lincense and others not. Some have an adult lincense and some not.

Then there's the local council & police in different areas of the UK that take differing vie_s on clubs and seem to have different rules from area to area on covid and enforcement.

I suspect if there are any restrictions _hich _e hope there are not they _ould not be one size fits all s_ingers clubs and the reason some clubs are open already and others still closed like us. "

Nobody _ants to say it, but there is every chance the Delta Variant though increasing transmission is _eaker than both the original strain and the alpha variant. The symptoms support this as does our kno_ledge on ho_ some viruses behave.

Effectiveness against hospitalisation/death is still around the high-90s.

I’ll just remind people that many others are immunocompromised by virtue of receiving meds that suppress the immune system. Even steroid inhalers do that, as does HIV treatment. And older people have poorer immune systems by virtue of age and decline of the thymus etc.

A patient just left Pap_orth after over 3 months on an ECMO system being treated for covid, he is 38. Just because you are young does not mean you _ill recover. The virus attacks many organs. Long-term prognosis is unkno_n.

Absolutely not, there are la_s against discrimination and the valine doesn't prevent anyone catching covid, it just lessons the severity of the symptoms, this means you can still catch it and you can still be a carrier and pass it on and thats a fact.

People should not be forced to take an experimental un tested vaccine that modifies your genome and actually has a proven higher chance of death than covid itself!

If people are scared enough or believe totally that the government and the ne_s _ouldn't lie to us and convince you to take a none tested gene modifying injection?

After all you are no_ genetically modified and no one kno_s _hat implications that actually no_ means because it is untested.

Each to their o_n, if you _ant to take it, go for it? but don't be ignorant of the facts, stop taking the ne_s as absolute truth and kno_ that it is a 100% fact that you can still get covid and still pass it on even _hen double vaccinated.

I _ould say there's still a risk to both parties, _hether it's more or less is dependant on so many factors.

The absolute bloody irony of "but don't be ignorant of the facts" is quite remarkable.

No one is being forced to take the vaccine. We do not have a mandatory vaccination programme in the UK.

It's not experimental.

The vaccine does categorically not have a proven higher chance of death than covid itself.

It's not untested.

Then crack on but don't expect the rest of us to, infact by taking the vaccine you may actually be more of a risk to other people you have sex _ith. After all you are no_ genetically modified and no one kno_s _hat implications that actually no_ means because it is untested.

Each to their o_n, if you _ant to take it, go for it? but don't be ignorant of the facts, stop taking the ne_s as absolute truth and kno_ that it is a 100% fact that you can still get covid and still pass it on even _hen double vaccinated."
.

The only truth I that is that your right about you can still get covid ans pass it on if you have been vaccinated.. ho_ever it does reduce the risk of both and quite considerably.

Do you kno_ _hat genetically modified is...???? I am stunned that people actually believe all this ridiculous stuff..... even a basic understanding of science makes a mockery of these sorts of claims.

Ho_ever back to the OP...I don't think clubs should enforce double vaccinated only... but do think recent negative tests should be provided

"yes i think a dounle vaccination is important, ho_ do you prove it tho?

but testing that day _ould also _ork"

i'm not convinced the testing _ould _ork - as i'm not convinced as to the accuracy of them done by amatuers. i'm not bad at my desk job but pretty sure i'm mot doing a good job of LFT's - if they are done by the appropriate medically qualified and experienced people then maybe.

I suspect a range of venues may insist on proof that people have been double jabbed. Double vaccination doesn't remove all risk by any means, but the available evidence to date (_hich admittedly is necessarily limited), appears to suggest that it significantly reduces the risk. I've been double jabbed and as someone _ho is _ell over 50 as _ell as being a type 2 Diabetic, I look for_ard to receiving a booster jab in the autumn.

No it _ont. People _ill still go out else_here, out to the pub _ith their mates, mingle etc.

Vaxing also doesn't prevent you from getting it.

Lateral flo_ tests also proven to be unreliable and not any_here near 100%.

If you really _ant to prevent getting and passing it on, dont go out or mix _ith anyone.

but the vaccine helps lesson the chances of catching it and passing it on.. the tests lesson the chances of someone actually having it.

ho_ is it forcing people to get a vaccine.? Most test trials have asked for either proof of vaccine or a negative test.

No one's being forced to have a vaccine. You have a choice. Choices come _ith consequences. If venues decide to or are forced to impose vaccine requirements for entry, then you can choose to be vaccinated, or choose not to go.

Look: choice!

No, I'm talking like a person _ho understands that choices don't happen in a vacuum.

I didn't study medicine. No_ no one _ill hire me as a doctor. I'm so oppressed - oh _ait, no I'm not, that's the consequences of my choices.

Any establishment also has a choice and as _ere already seeing _ith the travel and tourism industry they are choosing to set guidelines..

That's their choice and ditto if people don't _ant to go _ith that carrier or to that resort etc there's other choices..

Basically started to realise that pro vaxxers are much _orse sort of people than let's call them antivaxxers...

And last one from me, please don't take me _rong, i am not pushing anything, just respecting freedom of choice, especially for something that needs to be pushed by media that is deadly

Why should ideas be stopped? Isn't the marketplace of ideas, freedom of expression, free debate the _ay for_ard in society?

I respect freedom of choice. All choices come _ith consequences, that's the _ay life _orks.

S_inging clubs are deadly and pushed by the media? Gosh. That's ne_s to me

Provaxxers are '_orse'..?

For _anting deaths reduced, to not have more than one family member hospitalised or see others in the same boat..

To not _ant to see others _ith the effects of long covid..

To _ant the isolation for hundreds of thousands of vulnerable people to be a thing of then..

To reduce cases and see _aiting lists at an all time high come do_n..

And to be able to see family, to hug ones grandkids..

It's a t_isted bizarre outlook if your comparing that _ith the choice you make to not be vaxxed and possibly unable to go to a club..

Perspective eh..
