Coronavirus (2021) thread

Restaurants can still deliver and do takeaway, which implies people are still working in them....

Can exercise outdoors with one other person.

Food has to be provided as before , it is essential

6 weeks head down.

Minimum 8. Most likely at least 12.

They are relying a lot on the vaccines here.
Just wait until the south African one arrives here and the vaccines dont work.
I don't believe a single word this government says anymore.

Don’t listen to them then, if the vaccine needs modifying due to a new variant then it will be and then rolled out again. That can and will happen a lot quicker than the initial development if it’s needed.

I wonder if his mummy or daddy will tuck him up

Thats poor considering he's posted before now about losing his Dad

Well I obviously didn’t know that and I was obviously joking without prior knowledge of that.

I apologise if any offence was taken.

Just been sent a video on my City WhatsApp group with Sky News saying that the Prem is suspended. Can’t work out how to post it on here though

Sky News got it wrong I think. I played it back and their reporter said it was suspended but that isn't reported anywhere else.

Indeed.Interesting that Israel is already planning ahead with an app for those who have had both shots.

German politicians, by contrast, are mobilising to legislate against such moves.

Interesting. I don't know much about it, the app that is and it's pros and cons. On the face of it I'd be all for it, but that opinion admittedly might change if I learned more.

New polling published by YouGov on Monday suggested 79% of Britons are supportive of another lockdown for the UK, compared to 16% who are against a fresh nationwide shutdown.

I already need a hair cut

 

[Paul1970]

normal service has resumed for some then

He hasn’t gone far enough . Do we really need all these polish shops open and also people are still mixing at work aswell . Can’t wait to go back Hungary

Closing schools hours after sending them back has to be in the top 5 worst/strangest decisions of this pandemic.

Cant see there being much change from tier 4 beyond schools. I expect deaths to peak in February. London to be released from lockdown sometime in March (their curve peaked earlier) and the north by sometime in April. Such release potentially to be garden related, one household in hospitality only.

proper release from lockdown, household mixing, football, concerts, meeting in hospitality etc... depends on fast rollout of the vaccine but can’t see it until summer.

Nah no school

They really shouldn’t let anybody in the country without a test now

Those hospital numbers I just posted for all the regions in England today show what has cvhanged his mind.

He has delayed so long the new variant has taken root everywhere as with no national restrictions it was bound to do.

He will never survive the catastrophe that many of us saw coming over Christmas A strong leader would have led - not been led by the nose trying to be popular.

Hopefully we get over this but nothing now will stop those hospital numbers in the regions climbing up further and it is hard to see some regions not becoming swamped before a corner is turmed

Not political at all but anyone who allowed this to happen when so many saw what was wrong with the 'merry little Christmas catchphrase is not going to come out the other side of this intact.

But for now we just have to forget blame or recriminations. We are in this hole. Who put us there is for now not what matters.

We all have to come together and dig for victory once again to climb out of the hole.

Wrong thread here but yougov who have been wide of the mark with election surveys.
It tends to be leftie sit at homers who fill out those surveys

 

[Ste1969]

Did he say non essential shops have to close?

 

[BlueAnorak]

8,769,000 people above the age of 70
2,800,000 people working in the NHS and Care hones.
2,000,000 others who are clinically vulnerable

13,669,000 people to vaccinate in 6 weeks.

505,000 teahers to add to this list

So 14,174,000 in reality over 6 weeks.
