£12b spunked on a test and trace system that doesn’t work and no one thought to buy a clicker.
Travel bans are rarely as strict as they're made out to be. There are always exceptions for UK nationals returning from overseas, so unless you quarantine them all at the point of entry then it won't stop foreign strains from coming here. And just the act of announcing travel bans encourages people to travel while they still can (look at Christmas at King's Cross etc), or even worse, bend the rules to reach the country in ways that aren't so easy to monitor. So while a NZ-style ban can be effective, a US/UK-style ban won't help much, especially after this much time. If they really wanted to make it better, they would start enforcing quarantines, or at least insist on negative test results to enter the country.
Oh missed this.
Echo this Bodicote keep well.

I wish they could announce the nuts and bolts of these addresses so people wouldn’t be left guessing

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.
hope you stay ok

Like all the other lockdowns. Weird, unnecessary delays.

They had tiers 1-3, which were the second set of tiers they were keen to stress weren't the same as the original tiers 1-3, added a tier 4, now they've got back to levels 1-5 which we had to start off with but they abandoned when they couldn't keep to their own rules on what each level meant and when it would change. And they wonder why people are confused.

Maybe he’s been doing his jobNadhim Zahawi was appointed and announced as a new health minister in mid November.
his role was to mastermind and supervise the rollout of the Covid19 vaccine.
I don’t think I’ve seen him anywhere since

Pretty sure the majority want to send their kids to school , my wife is a headteacher and sent out an email today asking for a list of critical workers .. last lockdown they had 12 kids at most .. so far today 80+ replies and growing saying that that are critical workers and that their children need to attend school if there is a lockdown
Thats what I don't quite get...talk of more restrictions ?! T4 is pretty much everything locked down and cases are still rising rapidly. Are they taking any behaviour science advice anymore ?! They need people to buy into the restrictions already in place as well as close schools (T3), tell employers that people have got to WFH unless totally unable to do so and keep elderly off the streets/out of shops - the last two should’ve been pushed far more aggressively a lot earlier (with assistance put in place for food deliveries for elderly).

Mad.
Heard they also banned alcohol in South Africa during lockdown.
Would be civil war if they tried that here

Assuming this is going to be an increased lockdown, although I'm not sure how much more locked down I can be when we're already at 'don't leave the house' level, they really need to give details of what is going on with vaccinations. How many doses we have now and what deliveries we are expecting along with what number we can currently get done a week and clear details and how and when that will be ramped up.
More chance of people sticking to any rules if they have a clear idea of when things are likely to improve.

It’s got to be shops that are doing it. Are people really just ignoring stuff and popping round peoples houses that much? I went to Aldi today by Cov airport and it was complete and utter carnage.
Edit: Fully appreciate me being there is part of the problem. But I needed eggs*

Me and the ex have just done that. She wasn’t a key worker before but is now and I have been from day one. So that swayed the decision slightly as where would he go when we are both working if he wasn’t at school? But I was dead against him going in last time, I discussed it on here. But again, she was furloughed so he had somewhere to be.

Interesting one now for Scotland!
Having gone 19 points behind Rangers, the Celtic squad are now basking in Dubai. Mrs Crankie has banned all travel into and out of Scotland, Will they be stranded over there or have to isolate for 14 days when they return. Let's see who the "rules" apply to.
