Don’t worry people not gonna happen if you wake up and actually research what’s going on you will realise the jib jabs are causing the variants go to www.gov.co.uk and actually read the government documents for yourself open your eyes you will get a nice surprise one document says

Who becomes seriously ill in a resurgence?

56. This shows that most deaths and admissions in a post-Roadmap resurgence are in people who have received two vaccine doses, even without vaccine protection waning or a variant emerging that escapes vaccines. The document is
Spi -mo roadmap step 2
It’s already happening in Bolton people in intensive care are vaccinated that’s from local council leader mr Khan

And before you start trolling me read it my heart is broken because family and friends have been lied to and took the poison

Of course they would be because in a post-Roadmap resurgence the vast majority of people will have had two doses and all of the most vulnerable to a fatal outcome will have had two...those "most deaths" are not quantified.

If the bulk of those left unvaccinated are children there's going to be very few deaths and admissions amongst them isn't there?

Honestly mate if you can't interpret documents properly you're really better off not reading them.

How many of those who say they will refuse to van share have no problem standing next to a colleague in a two walk frame

And how long are you in a van together for? And means it'll be mid summer the windows will be down anyway.

Common sense would suggest we should now van share, we need to start trying to get back to some sort of normality especially as most people have had the vaccine

Unless the union agree and give the go ahead I will not be returning to van sharing.

Given that the union now just nod their head at everything the company say, I think you should prepare for van sharing again.

It’s also worth noting that the Indian variant is on the rise and I and many others have not even received my first vaccine. So unless this daft git is going to lead by example and hop in a van 20cm from another random postie every day then I’m going to politely refuse.
You won’t van share, but I bet you spend two hours before delivery in the DO in close proximity to other posties while either throwing in packets, collecting specials form the locker or generally talking round the office.

Would I be correct in saying that the drivers would prefer to work on their own and for good reason. Van sharing walking posties cannot wait to get back to van sharing. As the driver will now have to cover parcels which is a lot more than a year ago, on his walk and his van sharing partners walk. Cannot wait personally to come off driving much less work and responsibilities

Over the last month, parcels have dropped off massively, even Tracked is down quite a bit

Had hoped i'd of left before van sharing came back in. I can see myself doing a lot less overtime when this happens. Our office has just gone massively downhill so i have little enthusiasm now.

Though i do wonder where all our vans will go, we barely have any rentals.

The parcels might be down but they are still massively up when compared to when van sharing was still a thing.

How many times even with no van share two postie's collect mail and parcels from the same van just one walks out and back or the bus.
