If someone wants me going in to teach remotely and in school at the same time with deaths pushing 1,000 a day then perhaps so...

Who is going to turn around these huge numbers of extra regular tests in enough time for them to be meaningful? If it takes a day or two to get the result what’s the point?
These are the less accurate results in an hour or so tests

"The problem is not the schools the issue is the spread from the mixing of households that naturally takes place in schools"

That's a hell of a quote from Johnson, not sure he realises what he's said there. Empty school buildings are safe but schools with kids in aren't.

Slightly sobering, this.


Was just watching Europe's Strongest Man, when an In Memorium popped up at the end. Even in a pandemic, I didn't expect the cause to be Covid...

It feels a lot closer to home this time round. I know loads of people who have it. A friend’s parent has been rushed to hospital with severe symptoms and they’re an at risk person. I hope it fucks off soon.

Kier is too busy chasing the Daily Mail readers, who would actually prefer teachers and kids to catch Cov-ID so it’s fair.
If you want me to respond actually tag me ya tit, fact is because I have a different political opinion to you, I'm not worthy of a public opinion.

My wife has to do the test every two days they give you a result like a pregnancy test so some of the older girls at senior school should be able to read them 😉. I think it’s get the bud shove up nose, then put into solution and the solution onto the tester. Wait half an hour for the result

Where did I say that? By all means have a different political opinion - doesn’t mean you have to endorse a racist, xenophobic rag as well.

he's a wum, playing on the fact that the moniker sir Keith uses shares the same letters as the first 4 of his name. He's best ignored.

Now Hancock has said that elderly patients due to have a second dose of the Pfizer vaccine will be cancelled in order to vaccinate more people. Seems risky but probably shows what a crisis moment we're in.

I assume somewhere, that it's confirmed it has no effect on immunity levels if people have to wait longer for their second dose?

See, it seems with vaccines, now is the time to hold their nerve unless confident.

The second dose is delayed today it said that both vaccines don’t need to have a second done in 3 weeks but can go to 12 weeks

This really worries me, since details of the vaccinations were first released, thus revealing the need for a follow up injection to complete one adequate dose, it just throws up an added complication and significantly increases the chances of errors being made.
Given the Government’s record on Covid19 decision making, to hear now that they are contemplating changing tack after having already started administering the vaccine fills me with dread.
The vaccine is our only hope of returning to something like normal this year, hearing Hancock coming out with stuff like this shakes my already brittle confidence to the core.
Please just hold your nerve and roll out the vaccine in the pre-agreed plan.

I wouldn't fancy pushing it to it's limit, mind. Puts in place room for error, I'd have thought.

You're right to be concerned given everything that's gone on but I remember Fauci saying that any vaccine that was over 60 percent effective would be enough to halt the virus.

Given that both vaccines do that with one dose this may not be a bad idea.
