I was really hoping that today would be down below 1000 deaths, it just seems like a number that has become accepted.All settings deaths finally updated to 1245.
6 up on yesterday but 156 down on last Friday.
Still too many tragedies. But could be so much worse given where we were up around 1800 a few days ago.
it will start to drop mate,dont forget the hospitals are still busy,this time next week fingers crossed around half of your figureI was really hoping that today would be down below 1000 deaths, it just seems like a number that has become accepted.
That’s a shitter, let’s hope she gets a spare one in the meantime, I have heard that’s happening with left over ones in areas.Cheers long may it continue until we get on top of this shit.
A friend of mine I went to school with is miffed. She has loads of underlying health conditions and lives in Brooklands but has been told it could be months for her yet.

I actually agree with Dave I'm afraid, I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop when we all find out that new variants are resistant and we just go around and around in circles. Obviously I'd hope that's not the case but I'm getting old and (even more) cynical.It wasn't a direct go at him more a "Fucking hell!" of surprise at the post. I'd just had my first jab, seen lost of positive stuff then that post popped up lol!
I would have thought the air around Teesside might have rendered the vaccine null & voidBBC Health correspondent said the Novovax vaccine will provide a rocket boost to the UK vaccine programme.
Apparently you need 2 shots. I hope their Stockton plant has a stockpile which can go straight into circulation once authorised. That would be a massive boost.
We do, finally, nearly 4 weeks after lock down, seem to have passed the peak in reported deaths.
Let us hope they fall as fast as cases have, and let us hope we can keep the pressure on there too.
Most 80 year olds have now been vaccinated, and they constitute half of those dying. Over the next month, we should start to see the death toll drop even faster than the case load has to date, as people becoming exposed no longer become infected, or suffer just mild symptoms.
And let's not lose our compassion and think how it feels in Europe where similar hopes have just taken a huge hit. My parents, vaccinated only yesterday wouldn't get the chance for weeks to come there. Many in their position will die. I hope we can use our privileged position to help in some small way.

I didn't know about the Johnson & Johnson's vaccine as I've been working, okay, that's a plus.We have positive results now for five (five!!!) vaccines.
They're across three very different technologies.
The only one tested against the variant of most concern remained effective against it.
They can all be readily modified against new variants.
The cost is as little as a fiver (a fiver FFS!!!) for two jabs.
A year ago, nobody would have believed this possible.
We can do this now. The path is clear, we just need to walk it.
Oh, and City are top of the league too!!
Don't worry all the vaccines can be tweaked to counter the new variants. We're close to getting on top of this. The only problem is the idiots that don't want the vaccine and the ones who keep spreading it.I actually agree with Dave I'm afraid, I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop when we all find out that new variants are resistant and we just go around and around in circles.

Mrs B & I are in the same group as you, she was told today that we are in the next group to be called.Appears to depend a lot on luck and location. More than a few already have.
And if priorities change with slower delivery of vaccines as seems imminent as some are lobbying to do once they get to all those 70 and over.
As I understand it if you have underlying issues you are in the next group immediately after the 65 to 70s. If not then the one after that.
I am in 65 to 70 and not expecting a call until around mid February. But you just never know given the reports. And, of course, if in the North West that may be altered because one third of our supply is being diverted down south from Monday.
Don’t even get me started pal, fuming with it all as it is....The main Canadian airlines have suspended all flights to the Caribbean and Mexico until at least the end of April.
Anybody coming into Canada will now have to be tested and show negative results within 72 hours of their flight and will then have to be tested upon arrival into Canada where they will then have to spend at least two nights at a hotel at their cost. They will then have to isolate either at their home or at a government facility.
This is to try to control the new variants that are out there.
I guess I will be buying my own pints for the foreseeable future. @BimboBob @Zin 'messiah' Zimmer @bluegirl74 : (
These fuckers should be shot.Of which there are many!
I was reading today about the returnees from their jollies in Dubai. One when questioned why she had gone “I just needed some me time”
Yes, June is looking less and less likely. Especially as I was looking to fly into NY and do the train up to Trono. Luckily everything booked with full insurance. Postpone to 2022? Unless you make it home first obviously.The main Canadian airlines have suspended all flights to the Caribbean and Mexico until at least the end of April.
