Jules72 2) in the short sharp Omicron spike we are seeing, it’s ridiculous and inconsistent to be contemplating lockdown AND still have stuff like nightclubs open… get it now you Fckng moron?
Nope - the point is that despite your sometime scepticism on Omicron, your automatic response when another lockdown was being contemplated again was not to pushback on it and point out as I had that it was completely absurd that they were even being contemplated at all to begin with. Your inclination was still capitulation and compliance, and that the government should have locked down sooner, rather than later if they were considering it, as opposed to them rejecting the idea completely, which was ultimately the correct course.
And as I’ve pointed out with the nature article that vinny posted, and also in light of the demographics of club goers, just closing nightclubs would do bugger-all other than further damage the industry which, by virtue of your being on this board, one would have imagined you should rather be supporting. However, perhaps you are in fact so much of a “jaded” clubber that you don’t mind the sector being destroyed for what is repeatedly being shown as pointless excuses. You suggested we should remain “cautious” and claimed it was “simple risk management” your words - rather than it being simple needless exceessive risk aversion and puritanism with costly consequences.
