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

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.

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.

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.
