They've done the right thing in trying to stem the spread of it, to be fair. Too often they've left it too long so being proactive will hopefully reduce it.

They have done what they can. Again it’s down to the individual person to use their common sense and abide by the rules

the question for us is did the second jab make the difference or not ???

As seems to be a pattern, after a massive surge in vaccines a bit of a drop-off. 

 

But to have 319k as a drop off is an excellent feat in itself. Hopefully we see higher highs and lows as we carry on. 
 

 

The AstraZeneca CEO said he believed that we would succeed in vaccinating 30M by end of March.( which is when we need to start second doses in volume)

According to Hancock, 1 in 60 of the uk population were vaccinated just over this weekend!

Local people are doing amazing work

If only we had trusted the local NHS networks to carry out testing.

On the other end of this spectrum you have the people who wear masks in their car when there's no one else in the car with them.

Only place I ever see this is when I've been to Loughborough, I always assume it's some mad professor haha. I've driven through Loughborough probably 10 times since last march and I've seen it every time

Pretty proud of the way the UK has dealt with the vaccine rollout, probably one of the best responses worldwide.

If you had Covid would you want to be in a car with yourself without a mask on?

I see it quite a lot here. I just want to know what goes through people's heads when they decide to do it . I reckon if SAGE told people to wear masks in their own homes some people would do it.

They can't contain it unless they put boundary restrictions in place.

Why do we make melodrama of these scenarios? It was bound to happen, it’s the very nature of a virus to alter itself 

[filbertway]

 classic media

 

 

TERRIFYING HEADLING

"Although this change may affect vaccine effectiveness, the current ones in use should still work, say experts."

"It does not mean that this mutation is present in all cases of this variant."

Out of interest, I just saw Hancocks tweet... was this always the target?

 We're on track to meet our target of offering the top 4 priority groups a vaccine by mid-February.

 

I haven't paid much attention but I thought the target was to have them vaccinated, not just to have offered it.

Would you really want the publicity from squads of para-military-medics holding down unwilling old people to stick needles in their arms?  There is no provision in law for forcibly vaccinating people who don't want it.

I assume that this is reference to some people inevitably refusing the opportunity of being vaccinated rather than him changing the target

I can explain this. 

 

Because we take the virus seriously and wear our masks at all appropriate times it becomes second nature and it's easy to forget it's even there when you get in the car and start driving. Alternatively if it's chilly I'll deliberately keep it on while I wait for the car to warm up.

 

Frankly I'd rather be seen to be too cautious than one of the idiots who thinks their rights are being trampled because they're asked to be socially responsible.  It did a lot of good for New Zealand to have people think they were overzealous.  Look at them now. Hilarious isn't it?

Maybe disabled, belonging to the vulnerable group...or you dozo have you thought they Maybe NHS or Volunteer carers,

Making regular stops,with their own car..

 

P*ss taking always looks immature, when one doesn't know the situation...
