Cant see another lockdown happening. I certainly won't be adhering to any more and suspect many feel the same.

When shops are closed(retail) and pubs/bars/restraints are closed? I can see it happening again.
 
Honestly, I don’t see many at all wearing them anymore. Took the bain to Gullivers Kingdom near Sheffield on Sunday, saw 2 people wearing masks, including indoors.

place is a few miles up road from me. Not even entertaining the idea of a visit with the kids!

was at marwell zoo Monday. About 70% outdoors wearing masks. 100% on indoor attractions.

I don't, people won't have it imo.

I'll be cracking on as normal now regardless. Absolutely no chance I'll be telling my lad he can't hug his grandmother again for example.

The UK has chosen a dangerous path out of the coronavirus pandemic

DURING the coronavirus pandemic, we have all become amateur epidemiologists, readily discussing R numbers, herd immunity and test sensitivity in everyday conversation. Now, with the virus still nowhere near eliminated, we would do well to concern ourselves with the principles of viral evolution too.

It is a widespread misconception that viruses tend to evolve to become less deadly. To really grasp what a virus is likely to do, we must look at the opportunities it has to evolve and the selection pressures that could force it to change.

In these respects, the UK has stumbled into a dangerous realm. Its high infection numbers provide ample chance for evolutionary experimentation, while high-but-not-yet-high-enough levels of vaccination could prove a strong driver for new “escape variants” that can better evade the immune responses stimulated by infection or vaccination.


After the hope generated by the arrival of multiple effective covid-19 vaccines, this prospect is almost too dreadful to contemplate. We have already seen more transmissible variants sweep their way to dominance. Even if its case rate does prove to be falling, with large amounts of the virus circulating when many people are only partially immune, the UK is providing ample opportunity for the virus to experiment with new ways to evade our immune systems.

The UK isn’t the only country setting itself up as a breeding ground for new variants. So is every nation with high infection numbers, particularly those with many partially vaccinated people.

The hope that vaccines will still protect against severe illness, and that booster shots could upgrade immune responses to new variants, is of comfort only to wealthier countries. More than 86 per cent of the global population isn’t yet fully vaccinated. Those nations that will be most harmed by new variants are those that have already lost out due to richer countries’ vaccine nationalism.


For the sake of the speediest possible end to this pandemic, every country has a duty now to think beyond its borders. That means taking whatever measures necessary to keep cases low.
 
Isn't the current one Coventry?

Think Soton is trying for a few years time.
Yeah Coventry got it until the end of the year I think.
Quite good to be honest. Im assuming you get some sort of funding, as there was loads of entertainment and exhibits for about 18 months.

jesus. Sheffield when I turned up as a first year student was a ****hole of a place.

so similar however to Liverpool when I left..... both much improved over the last could couple of decades.

still miss the mornings outside the howard laid on the grass out of it.
 
My first day out of isolation today, went to a carpet shop and Sainsbury’s. Felt obliged to mask-up given I’ve just had a dose of it, can never be too careful. Think of others. I probably deserve some sort of award tbh, I’ve been the model professional throughout this whole period. The old folk in the care home were made up with the leftover chicken soup I dropped round for them.
