Thread: C19 restrictions to remain in the UK for "years to come"

Despite the UK’s largely successful rollout of the coronavirus vaccine, a public health official says masks and other social distancing restrictions are likely to remain in place for years because the public has become used to them.

Mary Ramsay, the head of immunisation at Public Health England, said the measures would remain in place while other countries complete their vaccination programs, a process likely to take years.

“People have got used to those lower-level restrictions now, and people can live with them, and the economy can still go on with those less severe restrictions in place,” said Ramsay.

“So I think certainly for a few years, at least until other parts of the world are as well vaccinated as we are, and the numbers have come down everywhere, that is when we may be able to go very gradually back to a more normal situation,” she added.

The doctor said that so long as people continue to be infected, the rules won’t be abolished.

Ramsay’s comments once again highlight the fact that the plan never was to get “back to normal.”

Now that Brits have allowed society to be permanently deformed, with polls routinely showing vehement support for lockdown and other pandemic rules, things are never going to be the same again.

Having allowed the precedent that the government can put the entire population under de facto house arrest on a whim, look for the policy to be repeated over and over again with different justifications that have nothing to do with COVID-19.

Not really sure social distancing is a "low level" restriction considering its the reason hospitality would be & is, in some cases, bankrupt, without government funding.

If people want to wear masks and not leave the house properly anymore fine but everyone else wants to do normal things.

Otherwise i guess someone needs to send a message and guy Fawkes the house of parliament (in minecraft).

Agreed. I went out during the weekend and everyone was out drinking in the sun.

I dont really give a **** about going on holiday, what bothers me more is domestic restrictions.

2019 and I do need to travel by plane at least once every 2 years so there is a huge issue obviously since they are going to mandate vaccines in the near future.

UK To Make Vaccines Mandatory For Health Workers

The UK government will soon force health workers in care homes to take the coronavirus vaccine, a leaked document has suggested.

In London, only a quarter of staff who work in such facilities have opted to take the shot, while the number is closer to half in other parts of the country, according to NHS figures.

The London Telegraph reports that in response, the government submitted a paper to the Covid-19 Operations Cabinet sub-committee last week suggesting mandatory vaccines for such workers.

There are approximately 1.5 million people working in the sector in the UK. They would all be required to take the vaccine or face losing their jobs.

The paper, written by the Department of Health and Social Care is titled ‘Vaccination as a condition of deployment in adult social care and health setting’, and notes that the government’s Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE) suggests that 80% of workers need to be vaccinated for care homes to be deemed safe.

LOL cucks just begging to have there life's severely restricted. Hope more people wake up, we need mass protest.
