No Bear case .Really ??

SPI-M reports the opening of pubs and mixing as we open in May could have a peak higher than January .And they want no restrictions in pubs ,with no tests and vaccine passports And there will be sticky tables ,as orielly has never been in a Spoons with clean tables. Really??Chile here we come Chile imposes lockdowns to fight new Covid wave despite vaccination successNearly half the population has received at least one vaccine dose but residents of the capital and other regions face strict new curbsDespite mounting the world's fastest per-capita Covid-19 vaccination campaign, Chile has been forced to announce strict new lockdowns as it plunges deeper into a severe second wave of cases which is stretching intensive care capacity.Chile trails only Israel and the UAE in vaccine doses per 100 inhabitants worldwide, but new cases have risen quickly amid mixed health messaging, travel over the southern hemisphere summer holidays and the circulation of new variants.Chile emerges as global leader in Covid inoculations with 'pragmatic strategy'Nearly half of the South American country's population has received at least one vaccine dose, but on Friday, Chile recorded 7,626 new cases over a 24-hour period – the highest total at any point during the pandemic – and it is now approaching 1m cases in total.More than 80% of the country's 19 million inhabitants, including all residents of the capital, Santiago, have been put under a strict lockdown that prevents them leaving the house even to buy groceries or pharmacy supplies this weekend. During the week, each person is allowed two short-term permits to leave the house to buy essentials and can exercise outdoors between 7am and 8.30am. Only 169 intensive care beds remain available nationwide – an occupancy rate of more than 95%.Health officials pleaded for people to stay indoors where possible."The new variants arriving in Chile are a great worry, and we effectively have one pandemic on top of another now," said Dr Ximena Aguilera, an epidemiologist who sits on the government's Covid-19 advisory committee."Unlike before, we are seeing serious cases among younger people too, and there is a sense that some people had become complacent towards the end of the summer with the vaccinations going so well."A total of 22,587 people have died in the country having contracted the virus, and both the British and Brazilian strains of the virus have been detected in Chile. Its cumulative death rate relative to population remains far below that of Brazil, Mexico, Peru, Colombia and Argentina.Chile emerges as global leader in Covid inoculations with 'pragmatic strategy'Chile began its successful inoculation campaign with frontline health workers on 24 December, and aims to have 80% of the country's inhabitants vaccinated by 30 June.More than 6 million people have received at least one dose of either the Chinese Sinovac or US Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, and 3.2 million have had both jabs.Chile continues to outstrip other countries in the region: its rate of 49.19 vaccination doses per 100 people is well above Brazil's 7.79, its closest competitor. In early March, the Chilean government was even able to donate 20,000 doses of the Sinovac vaccine to Ecuador and Paraguay.Uptake of the vaccine has been good among older Chileans, who are accustomed to extensive winter flu campaigns enabled by a strong public health network. Everyone aged 50 and above will be able to receive a first dose by 10 April."The issue with communication is that it hasn't been consistent across government," explained Aguilera. "While the health ministry has repeatedly called on people to look after themselves, the economy minister has been opening casinos, gyms and cinemas."Others have pointed to holiday permits issued by the government which allowed movement between areas of the country over the summer.Santiago's metropolitan region is home to almost 40% of Chile's population and is the only one of its 16 regions not to have a coastline. In much of the city people are crammed into small apartments with limited access to green areas and leisure space, and Aguilera's committee was emphatic in recommending that people be let out of the cities over the summer, as long as precautions were taken.However, with international travel still allowed, many Chileans took advantage of cheap flights to Miami, Brazil, the Dominican Republic and other destinations, causing the government to tighten restrictions for returning travellers – but not until after the summer holiday season was over.Everyone who enters the country from 31 March will now have to stay in a hotel for five days at their own expense, before completing five more days of quarantine elsewhere."I'm confident that the vaccines will ease the caseload once enough of the population has had their jabs, but any positive effect in terms of reducing hospitalisations and serious cases in older people is unlikely to be seen before mid-April," said Aguilera.• This article was amended on 28 March 2021 to clarify current lockdown rules in Chile. An earlier version said the restrictions meant most inhabitants could not leave home even for essential shopping; this applies to the weekend but during the week a permit system is in operation.

[gozzie2] 05/4/2021 11:45

Marvelous news.EVERY pub-goer must check-in with the NHS Covid app to get a pint from April 12.Under the new rules, EVERY punter must be contact-traced via the app or by giving their contact details when a group enters a pub or restaurant.

[gozzie2] 05/4/2021 11:44

More great news to keep Paddy out .Wonderful. hTTps://www.thesun.co.uk/money/14549259/every-pub-goer-nhs-covid-app-new-rules/?utm_medium=browser_notifications&utm_source=pushly

[gozzie2] 05/4/2021 11:26

These people like the m#ron oreilly must want social distancing in pubs to last forever .That is the ALTERNATIVE .I would prefer that ,as I wouldn't want to be within a hundred yards of someone that thinks a clean table in a pandemic isn't a necessity. What else doesn't he wash the dirty g1t lol

[gozzie2] 05/4/2021 11:13

These tests are great news, but the m#rons on this board won't use them, and the millions that can't afford to stay off work with a positive test won't use them .hTTps://www.thesun.co.uk/news/14547319/brits-two-free-covid-tests-weekly-vaccine-holidays/?utm_medium=browser_notifications&utm_source=pushly

[gozzie2] 05/4/2021 10:35

Probably best to keep away from these m#rons that would even try to cheat to get into a pub .They mock Covid .The complete Sc#m of the earth ,of which this Paddy is one of thousands. and most likely millions .Pubs will be places to keep well away from ,later this year as Covid returns .An Idi0t of the highest order .that thinks a clean table in a pub is not a necessity.Wow in a pandemic .

[pierre oreilly] 05/4/2021 10:22

Gobbie, I see a few days ago you accused me of deleting or changing my posts. I don't delete or change my posts apartfrom sometimes, not very often, when I can be bothered to change a typo.

[pierre oreilly] 05/4/2021 09:45

Seems a bossy waste to me. You can enter if you've had the jab, had a negative test or got antibodies in your blood. So everyone except those in hospital then.If you test positive, take another test and a good chance you'll test negative.Failing all those, pay 50p for an eBay app which sets your negative result positive. No doubt coming soon.What a waste of time in practice, but gobbie will love it.A better test for entry would be std, scabies or bed bugs, and maybe turn anyone away who's coughing or sneezing or spitting or puking, or doesn't have a detergent supply to clean their table.

Don't think Tim Witherspon's going to happy about this....and don't forget he is a BIG Tory ! - let see what he's going to say about this.

Pubs are NOT in the clear over vaccine passports: No decision yet on whether boozers will have to ask drinkers for their papers
