    It's not just the BBC, all the major news channels are reporting the Indian variant, and so they should! The positives get reported almost daily by telling of reduced hospital cases, still on track for this or that level of relaxation, etc.

    Yeah no problem with informed news just don’t care for the “inverted” commas around headlines defining opinion and not fact. We arnt out of it yet I appreciate.

    Just because I'm a thick ****, could someone answer the question that keeps nagging at me...

    When Covid began, surely there must have been just a few people who contracted and then spread it?

    Now there are, I don't know how many around the world? So why would it stop now?

    Why would it be ok to travel, go to sports events or any large gathering?

    The vaccine was always going to be the answer as it was in the past. Ironically the great plaque in the past eventually just went.

    Tries not to make joke about 'the great plaque' - but does anyway...
    Whether it's a vaccine or natural immunity in the general population these things (so far) don't last, see the impact of the Spanish Flu, also when it first started we had no idea or treatments to help, hospitals did become overwhelmed in many areas (we weren't the worst) but due to the number infected staff had to be redeployed to deal with excessive numbers in hospitals. Better treatments, partial / immunity / less severe symptoms for those that do get it all add up. The Spanish Flu impact globally was about 2 years.

    Politics and trade deals came first apparently. Boris only decided to put Indian on the red list when he couldn’t himself fly to see Indian Premier Bodi to construct a new post Brexit trade deal. By then an estimated 15- 20,000 arrivals had descended on our shores despite the new strain warnings that had emerged from India.

    I imagine people will change at Istanbul now rather than fly direct, so will continue to return from there.

    If the system works that’s irrelevant

    Independent SAGE reporting the vast majority of those in Bolton in hospital due to Covid-19 have/had not taken their vaccine.

    Obviously nobody can be forced to take the vaccine but common sense has led most of us to do so and subsequently the results have been extremely encouraging.

    Those that didn't for various reasons have now caused certain areas to remain in higher levels,I see that as selfish and idiotic and perhaps now(lying in a hospital bed),they realise that they should've taken it.

    Maybe this comes back to the BEM leaders trying to encourage them to do so when the vaccines first became available, ,...

    People still die now of the Spanish flu as its effects are still prevalent within the Flu epidemics we see today

    Certain other parts of the UK will have similar SAGE reports I fear.

    Went to the pub tonight, not fun at all. I have no idea if pubs will survive this, but if I go to Tesco, there’s no track & trace. I don’t sit in a seated area while they do the shopping for me & wait from them to bring the bill to me.
    So why do pubs get such stupid rules?
