philmayfield 4,280 Posted November 25, 2020 Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 Basically it means you can do whatever you like. Many of the misguided will do so anyway and the police want a seasonal break from arresting people. Some clown in Forest Town was arrested for holding a hot tub party! This is going to mean an enormous leap in January infections. Fortunately I’ve already buried my granny, so nothing to worry about there then! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

denshaw 2,636 Posted November 25, 2020 Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 Boris has said that for 5 days over Christmas you can invite 3 different families into your home. This doesn't mean that you have to do it. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

radfordred 5,364 Posted November 25, 2020 Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 They can not win, if they had not relaxed the rules, the rebels would ignore it anyway & the lockdown lovers would still moan, if you need wait to be told how to keep you & your family safe, there really is not much hope for you Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MelissaJKelly 2,049 Posted November 25, 2020 Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 I will be celebrating with family this Christmas and I'm glad for the government has allowed it! However, I'm currently self isolating as a colleague I was around on Monday has been confirmed as positive! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 4,280 Posted November 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 It’s a question of relying on people's common sense but there doesn’t seem to be a lot of that around. Scientific advisers and the BMA have warned that the relaxation will cost lives and risk a third lockdown in January and hospital chiefs have said it is premature. However the Government believes families’ needs for contact outweighs this. Many would have ignored any lockdown rules anyway and it can’t be policed. We’re personally not going to push our luck here now that there’s a vaccine on the horizon. The virus doesn’t know it’s Christmas. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brew 4,150 Posted November 25, 2020 Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 I think it fairly inevitable there will be a spike after Xmas, particularly when the students come back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beekay 2,804 Posted November 25, 2020 Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 It's more and more highly unlikely that we will be able to make it up to Notts., 2nd weekend in December. The virus won't suddenly disappear after Boris's lockdown finishes. We appear to be moving to highest on the Covid chart. Swale was highest in the country and that's moving to Wealden area , which is the next council area to us. Gotta admit, I'm a bit running scared, what with us both being in "Highly Vunerable" category. Still hoping though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

radfordred 5,364 Posted November 26, 2020 Report Share Posted November 26, 2020 So it’s been knocking round since 2009 & they’ve put a different label on it, I’ve never had the flu jab, but I’ve never had flu. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PeverilPeril 2,770 Posted November 26, 2020 Report Share Posted November 26, 2020 You are very lucky RR. I've had flue several times but not since I started to have the jab 4 years ago. Looking forwards to getting the Covid jab. Being over 80 I should be one of the first after front line workers. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 4,280 Posted November 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2020 You can’t get onto the government web site to see which tier you are in because it’s being swamped by the world and his wife. You would have thought they would have realised this and made special provision. There’s some gross incompetence out there. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you've based that on the link I provided. . .then you have misread it. Re: Flu. Completely different species of virus and completely different approach to vaccines Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 4,280 Posted November 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2020 Nottingham and Notts is in tier three so it’s batten down the hatches except for Christmas when we can continue spreading. So that’s alright then. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DJ360 5,463 Posted November 26, 2020 Report Share Posted November 26, 2020 Not really clear yet here but it may be that Merseyside is tier 2 now. Makes no difference to me. I volunteered for Tier 4 last Feb and I'm staying in it till I get the jab. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 2,804 Posted November 26, 2020 Report Share Posted November 26, 2020 What do you rate my chances then Phil, of getting to Thoresby? Must admit, I don't know where I am with it all. Things seem to change daily. One day, shut yourself away then next day, it's okay, you can mix, but then shut down again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 4,280 Posted November 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2020 No chance BK. Hotels cannot open in tier three. Overnight stays away from home are banned. I presume that would include camping in Sherwood Forest. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beekay 2,804 Posted November 26, 2020 Report Share Posted November 26, 2020 Thing is Phil, they've not said owt yet. I'm wondering if they're waiting to see what happens after the 2nd.Dec.Still getting emails informing me what's on offer and saying it's not too late to book etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 4,280 Posted November 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2020 Put in your postcode and the postcode of your destination on the Gov. site, which is now working. Hotels and guest houses can’t open to the public in tier three. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 2,804 Posted November 26, 2020 Report Share Posted November 26, 2020 Thanks Phil, however, have just received an email from Warner telling me they are high risk tier 3. So the choice has been made for me. They have cancelled my holiday and will be in touch, as to what my preferences will be. So sadly, we won't be coming to Nottingham in December. Mary1947, if you read this, sorry, maybe next year! Margie, still hoping for coffee, April next year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
