Oh you can bet there'll be more pandemics, have read a few leaks saying that there could be several between now and 2030, now how they can say that is beyond me unless its planned maybe.Yeah get the vaccines sorted and sort out the border quarantines and hopefully we can start getting back to normal things through the summer months.
I do think we need to look as full border quarantines everyone coming in should be forced to hotels for 10 day isolations.
Hopefully the vaccines will slow the spread as well.
The mental toll it’s taking on people as well can’t be ignored so many have lost jobs and just struggled with isolation they really need to make sure we are better protected and prepared should something like this ever happen again.

People have been travelling the globe for several generations how that has anything to do with it is beyond me. Chinese wet markets were blamed but that's being dispelled also, those markets have been around since the 80's so why now, did it wait 30+ years to jump to humans? The whole thing is iffy to me, still seems like a lab experiment gone very wrong.We’ve never been so vulnerable to global pandemic as people move around the world more for business or leisure than they ever did before last year so these things can spread very quickly.
Just takes something jumping from animal population to humans to create this problem and you then have the threat of these things being cultivated in labs and escaping into the general population.
If we don’t learn from this serious questions should be asked for the next 80-90 years people who lived through this will be alive not being ready and not reacting quickly if it happens again would be unforgivable.
Never again should our stockpiles of PPE and testing equipment be allowed to go below recommended levels to save a few quid.

Yea WHO (China's sweethearts) ruled out it being lab created by China (who have been trying to get their population under control for years) hmmmIt’s nowhere near as intense in terms of travel now as it was even 20 years ago as easy travel spread across the globe might be a luxury we’ve had for a while in the UK but people in other parts of the world didn’t. China’s economic boom has created a very mobile middle class that travel for both leisure and business.
This isn’t the first time a virus has transferred but it’s got to be the most transmissible so far the reason we have vaccines so fast is due to research already done fighting other similar viruses.
Pretty sure the lab theory as pretty much been ruled out by WHO but they will never know for sure.

Not so nice when lives and livelihoods are going to waste, I'd like to hear statistics on suicide since last March, anecdotally I'm hearing of lots but they aren't making the news, where I live the local media used to always report on suicides and highlight the lack of mental health support, since the pandemic they've been eerily quiet on the subject.No evidence but always nice to speculate isn’t it.

Yeah its a matter close to my heart and a big reason why I am anti lockdown, lockdown is building up a mental health epidemic imo.The stats are released up until September for suicides. There is a lot of fact checking to be done. But I'm glad a lot of people suddenly care. Men's Mental health is something I've long been for more people to care about so it's good they're showing a sudden interest I just hope these people don't go back to ignoring it when things are back to normal. As seems very convenient so many suddenly care.
Myself mentally I'm lucky that my mental health is at the best place it's been in years. The lack of everyday stress has resulted in me suffering a lot less with my anxiety and depression. Probably does help that have drunk a lot less to be honest but it's often abused as a coping mechanism.
After a decade of Tory austerity NHS mental health support was virtually non existent, people waiting months on counselling services when they didn't have months left in them, it'll be worse post Covid.Been all over the news throughout the pandemic they’ve never pretended that this isn’t hard and that many are suffering because of lockdowns.
Sadly access to mental health support on the NHS is very limited and under funded.
Men are getting better at dealing with it but we need to make sure when men do ask for help that it is there for them

This post is an insult, people have sacrificed hugely in the last year, this pandemic is still going on as the government have well and truly botched the handling of it. Lack of testing at the start was a monumental error and unforgivable as they could see from what was happening in Italy how to deal with it, they had notice but failed to act. Total inconsistency in their approach also, the current R rate is the same as what it was when they launched "eat out to help out" yet now we're still in full lockdown, why? There is no strategy, they close everything to make it look like they are being decisive, but a lot of the sectors they've decimated weren't linked to any major outbreaks of Covid, its beyond dumb.The best way to be against lockdown is if people were to actually listen and lockdown. We could have been in a much better position if so many people didn't continuously break the rules. The government were poor to act to begin with but the fact cases are still at 13k a day 8 weeks since the country went in to tier 4 shows how bad people are at actually doing what they're told. My biggest problem with those that are anti lockdown and continue to break the rules is its them they keep pushing this on longer.
As for the conservatives more funding goes in to men's mental health than at any point ever in history and I hate the conservatives with a passion. But it's down to us to keep pushing and keep putting it out in the open. Andy's Man Club do an amazing job.
The biggest problem in the rise in suicides in my honest opinion is social media.

Non essential retail is shut, people do still need to eat though so supermarkets will be busy, or should we just starve to death?I totally agree with you that the government is to blame for everything from March to December. However you've got to question why the streets at so busy currently. Why the shops are so busy. People are not currently listening to lockdowns is the way they should be and it continues to be a reason why we are stuck in it so long. If you stop meeting up with people you give the virus no where to travel a virus can't just travel by itself.
I blame the government for a lot but you are quite the CT. No government would implement lockdown unless it was 100% required that's why we blame them for taking so long at the start they failed to act when it was 100% required.
If they'd put us in to lockdown earlier though with a bit of foresight you'd have had people like you saying it wasn't needed our levels aren't like Italy's and they're needlessly killing businesses. So you'd have complained at them shutting us earlier too.
This has to be the final lockdown. We can't afford to open up too early and end up back in the same position again in 4 months time. It's got to be done right.
They are shut. But people breaking lockdown rules mean it isnt much of a lockdown. It's an endless loop. Lockdown, people complain about lockdown, people break rules, cases don't go down as quickly as the would, lockdown goes on longer.Ok, our schools and shops, hair dressers etc are open, I was under the impression yours were closed
