It's good to hear that members of CT are receiving their vaccinations, good luck to all those yet to have theirs. It seems like a long haul till we get everyone sorted and hear the results of the present vaccines.

I'm leaving this open for non political comments as per the guidelines. Hope you can add your own experiences and thoughts.

My first jab comes up tomorrow, I'm so glad we have research institutions that have got us this far! And I am planning breaks away in the hope of improvements on the horizon.

Four extra weeks? Of restrictions ,After the last year it is nothing, and apart from going abroad ,and putting oneself in more chance catching covid,;the UK economy is all the better with the money staying here, and since we have been out and about on sites apart from those stuck in the UK because they wanted to take advantage of the services not available where they live?

We have been advised by most that apart from so e sites full up ,it is a real supprise as to how beautiful this Island is and why do we spend all that money,to park up on mud on sites over there

For 1 I hate the fact masks have to be worn I find it hard to breath in one.
As for night clubs Secondly not being selfish I think that it is about time that the younger generation should have their fun and be allowed night clubs. Third having been in pain with toothache for over a year, the dentist saying I will have to have the tooth out in hospital as the gum needs cutting to get at the roots. Another thing which is due to lockdown, could be another couple of years before I have it out. In the meantime I have from time to time have to take antibiotics to get rid of the pain. I suppose the plus is having the tooth out in hospital will save me £50 pound or so. That is if covid doesn’t get me 1st.

So by your post it seem most of your problem is you have tooth ache ,,go private if you are that hacked off with the delay what covid and the delays in treatment caused by the NHS saving lives

If it can be between the five days we are home at the end of this month it would not be a problem as long as some one can be around to make sure OH is safe at the house

Yep. Whatever you do don't let volunteering get in the the way of your travels and holidays .

Supplies are fine, it's the lack of staffing at every level that is the problem.

Not according to news reports ,it is only as said the lack of supplies that is likely to that the dates may slip

You've already posted that your local neighbourhood watch has asked for volunteers, we have requests locally too on other sites. I think that shows that we need them.

Another 4 weeks wont affect me much I dont do nightclubs wont loose my job or be evicted. I dont have a business in hospitality or travel so why should I worry about it.?

Posted on 16/06/2021 08:35

I quite agree David. It’s very easy for us, we can please ourselves wether we go out or not, the pension just keeps coming in, most are not so lucky. Personally I think the 4 week extension to get a few more vaccinated is worthwhile but like you think someone should have a medical reason to refuse. However, there seems a mindset developing that thinks the lockdown can go on indefinitely and that is just unrealistic. Particularly if extensions are not going to be made to such things as business rate relief etc. Many, many more businesses are going to go belly up putting folk out of work and into severe financial difficulties. The health and welfare affects of this are to often overlooked.

On this forum it is anyone that doesn't conform to the majority view. I get that most of them are elderly so are cautious but we need to get back to normal and open everything up. I feel i was conned into my vaccination by being told it was the way to freedom and then being told to wait even longer for no good reason. If we pull back at every little thing that happens we will never get out of this mess
