I guess you'll have to be offended then.

Tut, such an offensive statement and assumption.

Re: Coronavirus
Perhaps people would prefer the rules and situation in France?

All schools and non-essential shops will shut for four weeks, and a curfew will be in place from 19:00 to 06:00.
...
France is currently battling a peak of about 5,000 Covid patients in ICUs. On Friday, the country recorded 46,677 new cases and 304 deaths.
As well as the restrictions that came into force on Saturday, from Tuesday people will also need a valid reason to travel more than 10 km (six miles) from their homes.

Just think of the shorter queues in the pubs without those young people with their hard seltzers and pricey craft beers standing between you and the bar.

Covid passport trials for mass events in England
The government is to trial a series of measures in England, including Covid passports, to allow the safe return of sports matches, events and night clubs.
Passes would show if a person had been vaccinated, had a recent negative test, or natural immunity.
Trial events in the coming months will also explore how ventilation and testing before and after could help audiences return.
The pilots, which will include the FA Cup final, will last until mid-May.

And what alternative strategy would that be? Make everybody wait, when it isn't necessary for all of them to do so?

Just don’t have Covid passports, that’ll work for me.

So people who can safely travel abroad or go to events should be prevented from doing so? That is discrimination.
Needing a vaccine passport, won't impact me personally either way, but that doesn't mean I should hold back others who wish to do those activities.

Count me in.
Oh, and I smoke, drink, and drive an oldish 1.8 petrol car so I've been a second class citizen for years while paying heavily into the Govt. coffers . . . my reaction usually involves two fingers and a jerky hand motion

Re: Coronavirus
Well other countries may well decide that anyone wishing to visit will need some sort of proof of vaccination. It's happened in the past.

Fine, be offended.
No, just proportionality.
And? I don’t see what that position adds to the discussion.
---------- Post added at 20:57 ---------- Previous post was at 20:54 ----------
It’s not going abroad that is the issue, vaccination certificates could quite easily be a requirement for foreign travel, no issue there.
Domestically, though it is a non-starter.

No, COVID-19 Is Not the Flu
There’s a refrain among some skeptics that “COVID-19 is just the flu,” which is not at all accurate.

from a virological point of view, coronavirus is definitely not a type of flu.

Conclusion
COVID-19 is not a type of flu and describing it as such may not have been very helpful

COVID-19 is not influenza
COVID-19 is often compared to influenza. In the middle of a pandemic with a new coronavirus transmitted from the respiratory tract, it is obvious to look at previous influenza pandemics and seasonal influenza for comparison. Yet it is important to understand that COVID-19 is not influenza.
