    Compulsory Vaccinations & Employment

    For clarification, if you are 'pinged' by the NHS app, there is absolutely *no* legal requirement to isolate or take a test yourself (although you are obviously free to do so if you wish) you only have to isolate if you are contacted directly by a track and trace agent. I'm surprised more people...

    Covid restrictions extended to 19/7/2021. Your views on how this will pan out.

    I'm aware of the difference, but surely my comment applies equally to both? i.e. people still on furlough obviously want the current restrictions to continue, especially if they have taken up a second job in addition to their furloughed one, while those currently working from home who hated...

    Covid restrictions extended to 19/7/2021. Your views on how this will pan out.

    Not only that, but it should finally put an end to YouGov polls always showing seemingly overwhelming public support for more restrictions just because people don't fancy going back to work and/or the office! :rolleyes: MARK

    'Turn-back facility' - Horsforth Station

    That is one definition, which can be achieved with nothing more than a signalled crossover, but to me, the phrase 'turn back facility' implies a siding or loop where the train can get off the running lines to avoid delaying following trains. This can be in the form of a dedicated siding (e.g...

    Covid restrictions abroad: updates & observations

    I find it really depressing that after 560 odd posts, the answer to the question posed in the title of this thread is still a resounding "nowhere" with seemingly no prospect whatsoever of any change for the foreseeable future. :( My personal feeling is that it will be impossible to travel...

    What is the Covid-19 Exit Strategy of 'Zero Covid' countries such as Hong Kong?

    updated BBC article touching on many of the points made in this topic: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-57492961 The vaccination statistics for both Australia and New Zealand make grim reading, with only 21% and 12% respectively having received at least one dose compared with 63% for the...

    Covid restrictions extended to 19/7/2021. Your views on how this will pan out.

    Precisely! :smile: Almost nobody in a position of authority (including the so called 'opposition' party) is prepared to stick their head above the parapet and criticise the Government's never ending procrastination over giving a likely timescale for abolishing social distancing and mask wearing...

    Your pub and hospitality experience as the Covid restrictions ease

    I read that as vaccines - I've obviously been reading too many Covid threads! :oops: Back on topic, around here (north Lancashire), pubs are definitely more 'easy going' lately with the Track and Trace being more of a vague suggestion than a requirement. MARK

    Should restrictions be eased fully if Indian Variant case rates do not decline before June 21st?

    Should restrictions be eased fully if Indian Variant case rates do not decline before June 21st?

    I think that people voting for the "continue restrictions" option on YouGov broadly fall into three categories: 1. those who have been brainwashed by months of Government/media fear-mongering and are convinced that, irrespective of vaccines, Covid is as deadly as the Bubonic Plague so they...
