COVID-19: Chief medical officer Chris Whitty warns coronavirus vaccine shortages will last months
The UK's chief medical officers have backed a change in guidance which says booster jabs should be given up to 12 weeks later.news.sky.com
Boris said we'd be back to normal by April
Of course.He didn't say which year
We are anywayThe worrying bit of that is the R rate of the new strain during the recent 'lockdown' was 1.45. I'm sure that will have in part been driven by schools remaining open so hopefully having them shut recently will bring that figure down to some extent.
If we are going to regain any sort of control over the next few weeks then it needs a rethink of what we class 'lockdown' as and the public really will have to buy into this else we are heading for the worst of the pandemic just as we've got ourselves a vaccine.
Everyday at work I'm dealing with companies who have their offices open and staff in when there is absolutely no reason their business couldn't continue uninterrupted with everyone working from home.If we are going to regain any sort of control over the next few weeks then it needs a rethink of what we class 'lockdown' as and the public really will have to buy into this else we are heading for the worst of the pandemic just as we've got ourselves a vaccine.
So the question now is do the increased restrictions in tier 4, closing non-essential shops and gyms seems pretty much it, do enough to offset the increased transmission of the new variant?Independent said:New tough Covid-19 restrictions that will continue for 99 per cent of England are unlikely to be relaxed this winter, Chris Whitty has warned.
The chief medical officer appeared to rule out any more areas moving down into tier 1, with the loosest curbs – arguing cases “will rise” if that happened.
Professor Whitty also warned that only the harshest tier 3 regime would cut infections, with tier 2 only strong enough to “hold the line”.
“If you're in tier one, the rates start to go up so you do not want to do that in winter, just before Christmas, going into the worst time for the NHS,” Professor Whitty told a press conference.
It is for the client BBC to build a narrative that the public is solely to blame for the catastrophe hitting London hospitalsCovid: Met breaks up more than 50 New Year's Eve parties
A total of 217 people are issued with fixed penalty notices for breaching tier four regulations.www.bbc.co.uk
Why is breaking up 50 parties in a city of 9.3 million even a story?
Yeah, culture warriors.Allison Pearson is one of those who've made their name through this by being not just wrong at every turn but a massive fucking idiot at the same time. Julia Double-Barrel, 'Lozza' Fox, all of them complete grifters
She is a top-grade nasty c***Allison Pearson is one of those who've made their name through this by being not just wrong at every turn but a massive fucking idiot at the same time. Julia Double-Barrel, 'Lozza' Fox, all of them complete grifters
Toby Young is another. Laurence Fox is as thick as pig shit, constantly going on about how he should be able to say what he likes and no one has the right to be offended and then plays the victim when people say what they like about him.Allison Pearson is one of those who've made their name through this by being not just wrong at every turn but a massive fucking idiot at the same time.

Primary schools in London to stay closed until at least the 18th. Does that not mean they'll have primary kids, where we're told transmission is virtually zero, off while exam years at secondaries, where transmission is higher, will be back in a week earlier? Not to mention why only London?Do we think there will be a Sunday night u turn on schools? I'm expecting it more than not.

My 9 y/o Daughter is supposed to be going back this Wednesday but we’re not sending her.They'll close them in about 3 weeks when it's too late, as usual.....

He’s a shit actor as well. His career is the epitome of privilege living of the back of his dads ability and connections. To prove it even more he’s a very shit singer who got a two album deal.I like when he denies any notion of privilege, having grown up as a perfectly common member of an acting family who went to Harrow
The deaths in January are now inevitable, certainly for the first two to three weeksMinisters urged to close all schools in England for two weeks
Call comes after government said all primaries in London should remain closed next weekwww.google.co.uk
Come on Gavin announce all tier 4 as well and let’s avoid tens of thousands of deaths during January
Not all of them. My mum staying with myThe deaths in January are now inevitable, certainly for the first two to three weeks
Not all of them. My mum staying with my
Sister tonight. Beyond cross and absolutely expecting her to catch it and be very very ooorly
Not defending the govt but meeting outdoors briefly and staying overnight in the average house are two different things entirely. I suspect there is more than sufficient evidence of household mixing in households being a massive driver of transmission (as it is with cold and flu)Thats a bit of an over reaction Pete.
Im sure the cunts in charge of the country would be happy for people to go mental at their mum for staying at her daughters. Your mum could bump into 10 people in Tesco.
I agree with that. Only thing I would say mind you, is if Pete's Mum is by herself, it's not quite so black and white as keep her away from everybody. If either of my parents were by themselves, I'd certainly be asking if I needed to change my approach to them. Doesn't mean I would, but it's balancing the risks and hoping you get it right. While they have each other, it's a no-brainer but, by themselves, there is a bit more need, possibly, for them to need care in other ways.Not defending the govt but meeting outdoors briefly and staying overnight in the average house are two different things entirely.
