Stay safe board

[sonofthom]

The general blurb for this board states “ Remember: Stay at home. Keep social distancing. Wash your hands with soap and hot water for 20 seconds.

Surely it is time to move on?

I think most people have “moved on”, yet by starting this thread it seems that you may not have done so.

If you are suggesting that the board be removed or the advice you cited be changed, this would require some time and effort by the site owners who have jobs and lives outside of rootschat.

There’s no harm leaving the board and the blurb as they are, people do not have to read it or contribute. Doesn’t matter if it’s there or not does it?

Not sure why you think "it is time to move on" - Covid is still around and new cases are being declared .  OK not to the extent as in the past, but it hasn't gone away, and precautions are still needed.

I agree with you Ruskie 

  What would we do if the board was removed as although I do not contribute to it I always read the diary thread. Anyway, most of those rules are still relevant if you want to stay Covid free and you are out and about

I agree with Ruskie also 

Today I went to the chemist to pick up prescriptions ordered online last week (the surgery implemented this during or perhaps before first lockdown) and wore a mask inside. On the way from the car park to the chemist the library happened to be open- with a sign outside about social distancing, etc. Today I also booked our latest covid jabs. Doesn't seem like it's gone away yet.

We each have to do what we  feel comfortable with and that is it as far as I am concerned

OP is referring to the lines of text at the top of the list of topics which reads

"This is a board for discussing the current situation that this world faces. Please consult medical advice relevant to your own country. Remember: Stay at home. Keep social distancing. Wash your hands with soap and hot water for 20 seconds"

Perhaps all that is required is that this text be updated, perhaps simply by editing the first part to read something like "the situation the world has been facing since early 2020, when the advice was ..."

According to a friend of mine, on another forum, hospital admissions, of those with a positive covid diagnosis, were up 16% in a week!

Mentioned by 2 NHS senior staff on the same forum.

Indeed. Covid is not "over".
