As for the first part of your post, this is your imagination working overtime. Things can be fast tracked, and the South African variant was known about last year and hasn’t arrived on these shores in any great numbers yet.

You are looking for problems where there aren’t any. Solutions are now at hand.

Sorry, mate, but you are going to have to go back to normal. I’m not sure what you are worried about, whether it’s furlough being terminated, going back to the office or what, but whatever is motivating your desperate wish to keep restrictions in place, you will just have to get used to it. It is all at an end now (and hopefully, overseas travel will soon be back to near normal as well).

We’re not going back to lockdowns and all the associated crap, that’s just how it is.

Now, where was that nightclub I was thinking of going to when normality returned?
It took nine months for us to get the first vaccines developed and into production use.

We already have a delta variant thats significantly more infectious than the original, why is it not possible that further potentially worse variants may appear? which require us to go through either the same process all over again?


There is no going back to normal, normal has changed, much like the world changed after 9/11

I've never been on furlough, I've WFH since before the pandemic hit albeit with significant international travel, which i dont mind doing. TBH the last eighteen months has very little difference to my life.



If you read my previous posts, you'll see that I've clearly stated that i have no wish for the lockdowns we've had to suffer being reintroduced. but, we must keep the option available in case needed. The wearing of masks/social distancing is a simple yet effective method of trying to control the spread of infection.

This brings us to your biggest problem when you debate OB, You're selective in what you read/consider before replying.

If you don't wish to go back and reread it then I'm more than happy to quote it for you.
