Covid precautions poster - should we have one on gn?

suzie - I'm pretty sure too that everyone knows how to take care but I totally agree with Jaxjacky's two comments. It isn't just a general "take care" comment to everyone that's needed.

Being vaccinated simply means carrying on as before but with a greatly lessened fear of the consequences of catching Covid. However, those people could still catch it and pass it onto others who've not been vaccinated. They need reminding so yes to a banner stating this.

I agree Jaxjacky, the after vaccination message is not always getting across. We see several people on TV getting up from their chair saying, "I feel I've got my life back now," " I can hug my family now."
GN being a site for the older generation could have some kind of poster to make things clear.

Agree mostly suzie I just don’t think the hands, face, space including after vaccination is promoted enough, or maybe people choose not to hear..sigh.

Jax your first example is nothing to do with the OPs suggestion and was dealt with ( hopefully) on the thread by a worried poster raising the issue and being reassured. Neither would a simple banner type whatever deal with the more complex issue of what the vaccine means in terms of changing behaviour. That needs to be communicated widely and well but the whole thrust of much media reporting atm is that bring vaccinated is a game changer. That’s because of the agenda of the right wing media. Being vaccinated simply means carrying in as before but with a greatly lessened fear of the consequences of catching Covid.

It wouldn’t hurt, another thread today referred to ‘over 50’s rushing for vaccinations’ when there are specific stages of being offered the vaccine. Others, some on GN seem to think that being vaccinated means you can throw caution to the wind and start hugging family. So no, I don’t think everyone understands the current information including how to help stop the spread and reiteration may help.

I can see Kitty's point. There are still vulnerable people on here, who still haven't got the message.

I've just turned off the radio because I have had enough of people telling me to "Look them in the eyes". If Gransnetters don't know the rules by now then a banner on GN isn't going to help.

Like SW, I cannot imagine that anyone does not have access to Covid information nowadays. We a regularly bombarded with it. I think our lifestyles have been personally impacted by it. Can't think that there's any more information out there which will persuade individuals from the action path they have chosen.

Why ? If we don’t know by now, we never will and if we don’t care by now, it won’t change our behaviour. I just screen out any of these messages now - I think they can be counter productive in fact

I don`t see why not tbh kittylester.
A very good point too.
