Couple of weeks and he can go dry.

I’ve heard the vaccine loosens you up a bit anyway.

My lads primary school have just announced they won’t be opening due to lack of staff. 1 hour notice effectively. The government could have this wrapped up over a week ago.

My daughters school the same just waiting on my sons to do the same, I am glad I am off work sick. They knew this was coming and should have sorted it a while back

 

[Nick]

Cant help but think these would have it sorted by now.

Bonus, saves me buying Poppers.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

I don't know where they were going but the Indian govt have requested that those AZ manufactured over there are not sent overseas I think.
Where AZ would have distributed the surplus of agreed production.elswhere.
Rogue sub-co tractor?

They can request that but a contract is a contract

Scotland lockdown - no football ? It will be disappointing if England has to stop - the population need something to cling to

 

[xcraigx]

Boris on at 8pm. Bound to be good news.

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Exactly, I put it about the Ricoh test centre last week.

Just something like that where you rock up and get injected and go. 24 hours a day.

What if you go and have a reaction to the vaccine it is probably the waiting after and the admin will be shambolic

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Johnson 8pm press conference. It will be a Monday u turn rather than a ~Sunday U turn

Should be on for ten then.

 

[Skybluefaz]

Should be on for ten then.

About right yeah.

 

[fernandopartridge]

So where’s the bottleneck exactly? I’m confused

AZ manufacturing vaccines and UK govt 'ordering' the same ≠ UK govt having them ready to administer.

 

[Johnnythespider]

I wouldn't be surprised if despite ordering 100 million doses of the vaccine somebody forgot to order the syringes to deliver it

Right but in our case a break would benefit the injury problems.

Or they order a billion of them from one of there mates or some company that was set up ten minutes ago and they are blunt.

Couple of weeks ago I'd have said no chance of football stopping. Still think its unlikely but with reports of PL players having rule breaking parties over Christmas and New Year they've made themselves a target to be made an example of.

No "Rugger" on, so he might be nearer to 8pm...

We will see the players partying in Dubai by next week if they shut down. Stop all air travel and anyone caught trying to sneak off on private jets gets a spell in prison.

There was a detailed plan, think it was on the NHS site somewhere, for centres pretty much like that. Turn up, queue and get your jab. You had to book, seem to recall there was supposed to be a national booking system, and select a date within your priority group but that was pretty much the plan as far as I could tell.

It had timings down to the second to the point where it had those administering the vaccines working in teams of two so that no time was wasted between patients while PPE was changed. Literally medic A does the first person then when its the next persons turn medic B steps in while medic A changes their PPE for their next vaccination.

The timings were listed down to the second. Even detailed things like having a separate queue for those with issues that could cause a slow down, mobility issues for example.

Not sure about Cov but in Birmingham there was supposed to be mass vaccination centres at the NEC, airport, Edgbaston, Villa Park, Black Country Museum and Millennium Point but nothing has been said about those for weeks.

 

[Skybluefaz]

It's a statement not a press conference, brave Boris doesn't want to answer questions.

 

[Sky_Blue_Daz]

End the season now and lockdown ( as it was in March ) from now till the end of February or further .

 

[David O'Day]

Scottish lockdown does seem a lot like "tier 4" it goes to show the worthlessness of the term lockdown

May as well just put in on the screen and get any old body to read it we don’t need to see his ugly face

That was pretty much how it was for my dad. Appointments were every 4 mins and then they sat down and waited 15 mins to see if there was any reaction, if no, off you go. He said it was very efficient and also painless. Didn't even feel the needle go in.

Get it on six o'clock news then grandstanding pratt.
Kid's will be going to bed before knowing if they're in or out tomorrow.

It will be leaked about 6, he is loving all this addressing the nation business.

this is the bit that’s grinding my gears. If it doesn’t replicate last spring Then it isn’t a lockdown. Stay at home unless you want to play golf or meet a friend in the park

I don't see it as a real lockdown unless it is liek france and italy where you had armed cops hassling you if you so much as stepped outside

In Greece they made people text a hotline if they went anywhere!

I’ve become a statistic, been isolating because I’d been in contact with a plague carrier. Had myself a test yesterday 11.30am as I’d lost my sense of taste&smell.
The Covid Stasi have been bombarding me with texts & emails since lunchtime. Positive, another stint of isolation for me.

 

[SBT]

Absolutely, stop people coming in to the country. Police it properly and let's actually deal with it.

What's stopping people coming into the country going to do? The variant's already here.

Unless it's going to be a NZ-style total travel ban with mandatory, government-enforced quarantines for all exceptions (dream on) then it won't do much. That ship has long since sailed.

Will it not stop possible new variants coming in?

Yes it should be NZ style. Get some proper control.

 

[wingy]

Here's a question.
If countries that suppressed the outbreak to zero or thereabouts had hoped to wait it out and vaccinate a way back to normality at risk of losing that option if enough time elapses for more significant mutations?

Did it import ?
The SA one did, where's the next coming from?
IDK.

They should just fit our Sky remotes with a ‘next slide please’ button.
