Would you attend a match this season with no restrictions?

Is that in addition to the ones who never really changed what they were doing?

 

Great to see 83% currently saying yes

 

Hard to say, I think the number who modified their behaviour dropped steadily over time in the last 12 months. I mean everyone has had to change somewhat due to businesses being shut down.
In the last 6 months I have had dozens of different tradesmen/installers in my home. I've told everyone of them if they want to remove the mask while they work I don't mind. They all have except the Sky TV engineer who said it was a sackable offence so he didn't want to risk it.
At my workplace we made face visors mandatory, recently they made it optional. I would guess around 95% if the workforce ditched immediately, including some who had been given isolated roles as they were in more vulnerable categories.
It's just my opinion that a majority would go back to normal tomorrow if you told them they legally could. As you elude to a lot of people are just doing what the hell they like now anyway.

 

Yep. There’s always loads of social distancing in the West Lower.

 

Me too, but this was actually the second phase of a large study. The headline rates were about 5-6 weeks ago and gave very cautious optimism that it may be 30-40% (which is still not enough sadly), but the latest research on a bigger group showed more specific data based on drug type, and it just so happened for the drug my wife has to take, it essentially neutralises the vaccines capability. Not good, but hey ho, it is what it is.

I just hope that when large numbers have their back to normal fests they are mindful of others and the actions they have to take for their own protections.

 

I'm sure they would. And agree most have had to change even if a modest amount, but I suspect a significant number gave up on the rules applying to them a long way back.

 

Having taken a bus home from Rotherham full of ignorant school kids, I think I’d risk it, having had my first jabberwocky..
I socially distance at football anyway. People annoy me..

 

I think what the last 12 months has taught me more than anyone is everyone has their own circumstances and reasoning.
I became very frustrated at people who were in favour of sweeping restrictions due to the devastating impact they have had on my family.
Objectively I now see they also had their circumstances and reasoning for that viewpoint just as I had mine.
That aside I remember one of the early press conferences where Whitty or Valance said they didn't want to lockdown too early as they feared public fatigue would set in. It may have took a lot longer than they expected but it certainly has now.
I know some will have disregarded the rules out of nothing but selfishness but I would be cautious about painting with too broad a brush on that front.

 

TBF it's everywhere not just Aldi. In fact Aldi at Stairfoot is not too bad

 

Yes I would - so long as I wasn’t breaking any laws doing so.

I won’t be able to go to the playoff semi though, we are guaranteed pretty much to be Monday 17th and I can’t get the night off work, so that’s me and the lad out of the ballot, so a slightly better chance for the rest of you st holders.

I really hope we can go to Wembley - but if there’s no u18s allowed I haven’t got the heart to go without my lad. (And the Mrs says I’m not allowed if he can’t go...)

 

Given the average age of west stand ticket holders they should be fine anyway.

Probably on to their 4th vaccine jab.

 

No, we're so close to being back to normal. Hang in there, get vaccinated, lets see this 5hit out.

 

Very good friends of ours have a family member working in southern Ireland as a nurse, she is retiring next year after about 36 years service, anyway the nurses were made to sign a declaration that they wont talk about covid and the numbers when leaving ( i suppose its like the official secrets act we sign when we leave the forces) anyway to get to the point she as employed a barrister/ solicitor and she's going to whistleblow on retiring, she says the numbers of deaths have been inflated so much she feels people/ the truth needs to be made public. Don't know how true this is but I have no reason to disbelieve my neighbour ?

 

I recall that quote too and thought it wasn't a particularly wise thing to say, given that they clearly knew a lockdown was coming.

And I can understand that frustration too. Its equally frustrating to have people label you as being too fearful, as loving lockdown, as not wanting it to end etc. Whats right for one person or household isn't always going to be the same for all. But there are some glimpses you see of just nominal actions that bring dismay.

It's the simple things, distancing mostly. It's really not asking a lot to be at least 2 metres away from someone else in an open street. I can understand shops etc (not that I've seen the inside of one of those for 14 months), but a street that's not busy at an early or late time of day, it's not difficult at all to do.

I must admit, I'm concerned at whats going to happen in the coming months. For millions, life is likely to resemble more normality. But for a tiny cross section of our population, it won't and might never. Its not so much as worrying about what we'll have to do. But instead how we can manage it when people have completely forgotten what we've been through and if the virus is still circulating, what that will mean for those that the vaccine won't work.

One death may seem a really insignificant thing to a backdrop of circa 65m. Until it involves your own loved one.

 

Sad to see so many selfish folk in this poll.

 

Count me in that

 

On the flip side for many life will not return to normal due to the devastating impact of lockdown and they may have to live with the consequences for the rest of their lives if they recover at all. As everyone gets back to normal some of us will still be picking up the pieces for years to come. Truly no winners.

 

Yes - had both jabs and tested regularly every week

 

Is that an immunosuppressant by any chance?
