The papers making this widespread knowledge is causing further damage. We need public compliance. BJ is to blame but reporting it in this way makes the situation worse. I know this is what the press is for and it’s their job but this shouting from the rooftops ‘one rule for them, another for us’ is not helpful to anybody. But it's true! Same reason Hancock was sacked. We should expect politicians to follow the rules rhe place on us.

Early signs from new variant are more transmissible and less severe disease. We're not certain of the severity yet; the early comments about the symptoms not being severe were a result of the first cases being in young and (otherwise) healthy people. But it would be good if it was less severe, because it might out-compete the more dangerous strains. Seems like it might be ok

I enjoyed this. Though i was waiting 10 mins for the day seat while the guy in front of me had a really long chat about the state of the world and wanted to know in exact detail what the view was like for every single seat on offer. The queue behind him was somewhat fuming

If the govt wants us to comply with restrictions, it needs to show we're in some kind of emergency where disaster's certain or near-certain without them. If it can produce a compelling case that that is true, I shall comply. If not, I shall not. "Just in case" is not good enough. In fairness a year ago on here you claimed that Covid to be ‘fake’, despite 145k dying of this dreadful disease, including loved ones who post on here, who the vaccine tragically came too late - so then why would you muzzle up? God forbid we want to invade your personal comfort. I've never called Covid fake.

Mods - can we ‘muzzle’ this person in the real sense with a swift block? I’m all for free speech but don’t come to this board for trolling which surely this person is otherwise there’s really no hope... This is the Covid thread and I'm talking about Covid. I'm not saying anything rude to anyone just expressing a different (and widely held) opinion to others on here.

I dont remember voting for a system where everyone is wearing masks indoors. “What’s so hard about wearing a mask?” is not a reason to wear a mask. It’s an excuse to defend mask wearing in particular and compelled behaviour in general. Me, my friends and family are all done with this crap. Zero compliance this end with any restrictions I don't remember voting for a system that allows idiots like you to freely roam around without a care for anyone else. Democracy doesn't mean zero responsibility, it exists to keep society functioning and that requires collective social responsibility. Your hypocrisy is astounding, as everything you complain about is exactly what you are demonstrating - you complain about "compelled behaviour" but you are compelling others to take increased risk because you are acting like a child and won't take your fair share of basic social responsibility just because you can't be bothered. You don't live in a bubble where your selfish desires take priority over everything else. You live in a society and that comes with responsibilities as well as rights. Sadly it appears you and many others think you can have the latter but not the former. Life doesn't work like that. If I knew you in real life I would be utterly ashamed to be associated with what you're writing. Well society can't demand from me a behaviour of staying away from people and muzzling up. Its been almost 2 years and I wont do it anymore.

If you don't understand how dangerous Covid still is that is no-one's fault but your own. The attitude you are displaying in this thread is astonishingly selfish.

Deciding this new Covid is bullsh*t for mental health reasons. Putting it in the pay no mind space. Back to partying Without judging you I do fear people might end up dying because too many people have that type of attitude to this variant. It’s just too early to say how dangerous or not it will be. I'm triple jabbed as most people will be soon. Enough is enough. Let's crack on and deal with any extra deaths if we have to

I got one of the £10 tickets tonight. Row Q stalls centre. Had no idea what to expect but curiosity got the better of me. Not familiar with the poem and my knowledge of TS. Eliot goes as far as Cats. Everything totally went over my head if I’m honest. But Fiennes has such a wonderful voice that I was quite captivated to watch and listen to him for the 80 minutes. There was a LOT of coughing especially towards the beginning (to the point one of the coughers gave up and left), and lots of clinking glass and rattling ice cubes which made it difficult to “tune in” initially. Always worth giving something new a try, but you won’t catch me at anymore staged poetry readings (famous last words). Was there a big queue at 4.00?

Isn't it funny how quickly theatre went back to exclusivity? If one good thing could come out of this, I thought it would be that things like pantomimes would be filmed or livestreamed so that those who are either unwilling to travel to packed theatres yet or who live too far away could enjoy them, but I have yet to see evidence of that. A lot of places ( like the Almeida e.t.c) are offering more streaming. But im guessing its a costs/demand thing

I looked at the covid deaths today & found myself thinkng "165, not too bad for a Tuesday, they've been over 200 some Tuesdays recently". It's ghastly how we get used to things. Back in January 2020 I was horrified reading about one or two people dying of covid. Now over a hundred a day is sort of accepted. I feel horribly guilty. TBH there is a reason general public dont read the death rates on a daily basis. Covid is just another cause of death now
