That's Turkey or the airline stipulating that though, not the UK government

Yes its Turkish Law
UK goverment wants people to take test if you leave UK &.the charge is £100 at least ,but not arsed about people ariving which seems bonkers

So we have to vaccinate 13-14m people in the next six weeks according to BoJo.
That's 2m a week starting NOW!
Please note this statement is factual not political.

There was a caveat (subject to no delays) but hey even if we make it you won't praise the gov for it.
Don't worry NHS management is incompetent - so the schedule won't be met unless the Army is put in charge

 

[give it to gordon]

I suggest you read the guidance which has been released at gov.uk but click and collect is permitted.
I’m not sure what your issue is with click and collect. Safe, distanced queuing outside has no risk of spreading the virus.

The thing with click and collect nearly ever shop around here does it so the high street is alot busier than the march lockdown.
So alot of shops have people queuing outside to pawn their watch, or buy a phone, buy a cd, buy a jumper, etc. My point is this doesnt really stop people going out. I thought we wanted people to stop going out but with alot of shops doing click and collect and alot of shops get round click and collect my letting people knock on the door , than the shop keeper goes and it's what the person wants.

I work in the town so I see all of this going on. The first lockdown in march the high street was empty. The last lockdown in November and tier 4 in December were nothing like March, hence Thanet being one of the highest in England and I thinks it's on the rise again

Its harsh to say hysterical and over reacting in my view. This is a political decision. Pfizer themselves say there isn't enough evidence to say longer than 3 weeks between doses is as effective.
The UK regulator approved both vaccines on 3 weeks gap and now that's changed and there just isn't the evidence.
I like many on here am clinically extremely vulnerable and was very happy with the Pfizer as was at 95% but now I'm not sure.

I am pretty sure the MHRA approved the 12 week regime for the Oxford / AZ vaccine.

 

[cleavers]

I think I read last week 388 have died under the age of 60. When I say no one one I mean relatively.

You might have read it, but is it true ? I very much doubt it.

 

[denislawsbackheel]

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

Not a wish.
A prediction.

Look at it this way , if there wasnt enough evidence for it the medics would not allow it as it wastes everyones time and millions of doses would be wasted and nobody would be protected . This will be the drug companies and scientific minds that reviewing everything and then boris will be told what to do

I appreciate that this is a very worrying time , i have trust in the science for what it is worth

Stay safe

Those are only the ones who have died from Covid under 60 with no known underlying health conditions.

The total under 60 are over 3000.

People seem to have taken from Johnson's statement that the lockdown will be for 6 weeks.

This is not what he said, and almost certainly not true.

What he said was that if 2 million per week can be vaccinated, then the four most vulnerable groups will have had the jab in 6 weeks.

1. 2 million per week is an absolute best case scenario. Unlikely, not impossible.

2. It takes 2-3 weeks for immunity. So that takes you to 8 weeks absolute minimum.

3. Hospitals will still be full of the already sick and dying. That will take a few weeks to clear.

So 8 weeks is the absolute best possible case. 12 weeks is probably realistic; 6 weeks is not possible. I'd love to believe 6 weeks, but it's hard to imagine I'm afraid.

He said the vaccinations were to be done in 6 weeks and it would take 3 weeks for the vaccinations to kick in.

Tesco have just changed their delivery rate to a flat price of £4.50 any time spot

The opportunist fuckers.

 

[MCFCTrick]

People should be at home if they can.

Yeah, builders, printers, decorators, police, firefighters, manufacturing operatives, bakers ad infinitum, can all sit in their PJ's at their laptops and crack on for three months...

Bring it on! Thanks for info, didn't know anything about this so it's good to learn.

Israel will be an interesting country to follow in the coming months. Not with any national bellicosity about who is first, more interested in seeing how it goes about achieving its targets and how it goes about reopening its society. It is ploughing ahead with its vaccination programme, two doses as per the manufacturers' instructions, yet it has a sizeable Arab population that is sceptical about the vaccine and an Orthodox community that is also recalcitrant, so it will face similar challenges that other countries will face, if for different reasons. We should therefore learn from what it does well and what mistakes it makes.

Nothing new then

Will we though?

That one is a big fat fib doing the rounds.

I think the real number is 8,000 or so.

Let me know if you want a reference.

yes please

They did that months ago. Around August. Sainsbury's have a cheap £1 slot if you allow a 4 hour window and let them message you a one hour slot within it on the day.

You might have read it, but is it true ? I very much doubt it.

That figure is for people with no underlying health issues

It did.
