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

Should close the borders but he won’t

not a fucking chance come the inquiry this will be one of the biggest disgrace of the pandemic measures We have or rather haven’t taken.

Did he say non essential shops have to close?

Yes , same lockdown as march

My mum died 20 years ago and dad died 2 years ago
Don't let that stop you from being a prick though

I obviously didn’t know that and the joke was clearly about you acting immature, rather than anything else.

But I apologise, I was making a bit of a joke without prior knowledge of your situation and I didn’t mean to offend/upset you.

So I am sorry for my comment and your losses.

 

[Chappie]

Oh dear - schools back for a day then closed.
Overpromising again on the vaccine rollout - fair wind , IF mentioned about ten times, why does he do it every time?
And then apologising for having to do it - DON'T.

You're becoming a bore,leave the political point scoring out of it.
People are dying and you're coming across as a dick
Grow up

 

[Ste1969]

Yes , same lockdown as march

Ok thanks

Why the fuck aren’t we doing that, you can’t go to Spain so why here without one

Did he say non essential shops have to close?

Kind of implied given if you can only leave the house for essential shopping that they will be closed.

same as tier 4. Only change is for areas that aren’t tier 4, schools and a slight change of messaging to sound more strict (stay at home unless you absolutely can’t work from home rather than “if you can”)

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.

no one is dieing once that’s done. We are about 1 million into it.

Golf courses shut down from tonight.

You've got your wish. I hope your fucker never drains.

We must be at about 1- 2 million now though.

Does anyone know what this is about?



The government delaying giving the second dose to give more people the first dose?

 

[Blue Maverick]

 

[Gabriel]

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.

There will be a hard copy, too, for those unable to be vaccinated and those unwilling to carry smartphones, so it's not only an app. The fact that there is an English version and that they've liaised with other countries, who are in agreement with it, suggests that we'll all ultimately have it- at least if we want to participate in society to the extent we once did. It will start as a means of promoting vaccination but then be used as a means of opening sectors of society and then the world.

The government delaying giving the second dose to give more people the first dose?

Yes , decided last week by the scientists , second doses are being done up to three months time but one gives you good protection, with the huge increase in cases they are wanting to get as many people vaccinated with one immediately

She is being hysterical and not understanding

 

[Dicko69]

Yes , same lockdown as march

What about manufacturing?
I have a feeling I'll be working this lockdown but didn't last time

 

[metalblue]

Does anyone know what this is about?



The government delaying giving the second dose to give more people the first dose?

Yes mate. Idea is to shift second dose out to 12 weeks and give many more people the first dose as it gives something like 70% effective protection (or maybe higher?) after two weeks of first dose

 

[Ban-jani]

Yes , decided last week by the scientists , second doses are being done up to three months time but one gives you good protection, with the huge increase in cases they are wanting to get as many people vaccinated with one immediately

Isn’t this what Blair said?

Say what you want about him but the man is very bright.

 

[johnnytapia]

Heaton Norris, surely.

Norris when you’re buying a house. Moor when you’re selling

 

[cleavers]

no one is dieing once that’s done.

That's a hugely overly optimistic view, firstly there isn't enough vaccine at the moment, and secondly some won't take it.

We all want optimism, but tonight is not an optimistic one.
