    Lockdown effects now killing/harming more people than Covid

    Also how do you 'tax the rich'? The real rich don't have incomes to tax, they have assets and take dividends or value out of them for day to day living. How can you tax assets without hammering ordinary people? You can't because those same assets sit in our pension funds or we live in them or...

    How has your work life changed since March 2020?

    Worked from home from March through to August 2020 then back in the office a day or two a week until March 2021 when I went back three days a week. Hybrid working started this month and we are all mandated to be in the office two days a week minimum. We also have flexi hours so I can work...

    Vaccine side effects?

    Had mine last week as did 4 of my work colleagues. All AZ. All of us had the same side effects lasting 24-48hrs. Headache, shivers and feeling tired. Two of us had a metallic taste in our mouths for a couple of days. All have recovered fully with the exception of a warm and sore arm.

    At the pub I went to on Saturday you could either check in with the App or sign into a book. All covered off. The manager even offered to write our details in for us.

    Should we go back into lockdown at this point?

    I had a temperature and a cough with difficulty breathing at night. No sniffles, sneezes, aches or pains. Having had flu I know it puts you to bed for a week. I was able to carry on working. I was in Spain mid December so it might have Covid or might not.

    Should we go back into lockdown at this point?

    But all it takes then is one person coming in off a flight who is infected and we start again. The only answer at the moment is to protect the vulnerable and let the rest of us get on with it. If we ever get a vaccine, then great. Pretty sure I had this virus in January and yes, I felt ill for...

    how the uk would be prepared to live if a vaccine couldnt be found

    My personal view. A virus with a mortality rate of 0.06% of the population, nearly all of them vulnerable in some way, does not merit any action other than vulnerable people being isolated. Yes lock up nursing homes etc but the rest of us should just get on with life and accept that for the non...

    Have you had the virus?

    Something went through our workplace late December and early Jan. Several people, including me, had the same symptoms; very high temperature, hacking cough and tiredness. I had a couple of nights where I couldn't breath properly and ended up pinching my wife's Asthma inhaler to ease the...
