Had they vaccinated half of their adult population?

Personally I think we should open up, but I'm happy to wait a few more weeks until more people have had their second dose.

A few pubs round here didn't bother opening on Monday because the weather was so awful and are staying closed this week due to the cold and rain - concentrating on getting ready for us to be able to go inside.
As an aside - this is getting silly now. Deaths negligable, people in hospital now low and dropping all the time. As I saw someone say - when did whole pandemic thing go from number of deaths to number of cases? Madness.
Itll soon ramp up if you open all the bars, clubs etc open. Pissed people will soon push the R number up. As an aside - this is getting silly now.

This should be one for the local facebook group thread.
I mean, how petty a person do you have to be, to take a picture of your boring anecdote. Did you pipe up at them? Explain how you're a good citizen and they're below you and others?
C.S. Lewis had people like you sussed:
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience
How long till you and others who are taking little snide photos are reporting them to the police, or forming little curtain twitch neighbourhood patrols for non-mask-wearers.
You’re a very interesting individual. I mean, how petty a person do you have to be, to take a picture of your boring anecdote. Did you pipe up at them? Explain how you're a good citizen and they're below you and others?

They said the R number would increase with the schools opening too. No evidence of any uptick.
Notwithstanding that most people I know are now seeing friends and family as normal now. They just won't admit it to others.
The only things they aren't doing is going to venues that are closed or too f
king cold to sit outside of. Can someone let me know where these normal pubs are?
Because my god have I missed them. I'll even forgive people for crowding the bar, just so I know things are back to normal!
Just thinking back, because I worked 3 months abroad from Sept and came home straight into lockdown, I haven't seen a pub since Sept 19th 2020.
The Green Man in Hounslow, nice enough if you don't mind a 777 coming into land 50m over your head.
A doom bar in a warm sunny beer garden would wipe away the last 6 months (I hope)

11 days and you wont have to seek anywhere out. Because my god have I missed them. I'll even forgive people for crowding the bar, just so I know things are back to normal!

Just in time for me to go away for another 4 weeks 
I know a few may laugh, but I'm looking forward to pubs opening so I can reduce my alcohol intake.
Before Covid, I'd quite happily meet a few mates a couple of times a week for 2/3 pints then home. Happily drink tea at home between those times.
Now I'm so skullfked from been at home all the time I'm caning a litre bottle of Kraken Rum every 3 days, just to pass the time.

When your back in june social distancing could be gone. You might be allowed to drink your pint of doom bar at the bar. I know a few may laugh, but I'm looking forward to pubs opening so I can reduce my alcohol intake.
