I don't think anybody is complaining about the exempt. The example I gave of twenty two people in a shop within thirty seconds do you believe they were all exempt?
It's the ones who don't give a feck I was on about.

That’s not the impression I get from the comments above (not by you).

In fact I’d say they suggest a worrying prejudice against people with a LD/autism who only visit shops ‘for a trip out’….

I hope we get a thread as long as this one next season about how well we're playing

So what's your solution, just let it rip?

Herd immunity and focused protection.

How long would herd immunity last for?

Then what?

Stop making unenforceable regulations such as mask wearing. It’s absolutely pointless, proven by yours and many others lived and witnessed experience.

My solution is simple; keep pushing vaccinations until the uptake levels out. After that live with COVID. It’s going nowhere, in a year or so it’ll just be another variant of flu and will be treated as such. Life can’t keep being held back, life goes on. I’ve friends who’ve lost family members (not COVID related) whom they didn’t see for months before because of the restrictions. At the time they were the right thing to do undoubtedly. But lockdowns, masks don’t work. Did the lockdown eradicate covid? Make winter any better? No.

Only one thing does - vaccines. Push them until the uptake levels out and live with it. Time to get on with our lives and not live in fear or bitch about Frank not wearing a mask in the meat aisle. Life’s too short.

And what are you basing these made up facts from?

I wonder if the RFL/SL have drawn up some contingency plans such as delaying the season by a few weeks like they did last year. I guess they would only consider this if new measures were in place at the time but the risk of high case numbers across players and staff may be very disruptive as well and certainly not a good way to start the season.

Looks like there will be a peak in cases sometime in mid January which could mean a peak in hospitalisations in early Feb (pretty much when the season starts). After that there should hopefully be a rapid decline due to the speed if the initial spread.

And what's unenforceable about mask wearing. Wear one if you are not medically exempt, it's not a major inconvenience.

People who get covid aren’t immune forever. I have friends who have caught it twice in around a 12 month period now.

So I’m unsure how herd immunity would work on that basis?
