Awful that they haven't included Nurseries in the school's shutdown, some people can still send their kids whilst they're sat at home .
Madness

Or some can still send them whilst they go to work, not to mention that it's nigh on impossible to effectively work from home with young children.

Well just back from work, what lockdown ?
Roads very busy, and a steady flow of people walking through the town. Nothing like the first lockdown where it took weeks to get use to being the only van on the road ! And the only people in town. No different to the last few months really, just minus the school kids ( probably cos of rain )

Yes more shops are shut but the usual second hand phone shop doing knock on the door.

Lockdown is midnight tonite i think , i expect people are doing last min things , like me , i went to the bank today, my town was very quiet though

Maybe employers are still wanting staff in that didnt first time , whole different ball game than the first , businesses are still on their knees from the first lockdown and through the tiers

I listened to the BBC NEws at 3pm on TV. They had a vaccine bulletin and it turns out that there are 20m doses of the vaccine in the UK but not in injectable form. Has to be filled in vials for example. Still sounds encouraging.

AZ/Oxford vaccine has a release schedule dependent on the usage. Will be available as required and paid for.

I don't think the problem is with key workers needing childcare

One for the doom mongers.

Increasing reports in the Us of doubts has to whether the vaccines will be able to counteract a strain of corona, which originates in South Africa.

Concerned for this lot. Don't want to see their health represented as asset values and calculated actuarily and treated as acceptable collateral for the continued revenue. They're on fixed contracts, values amortized, and I worry that some pretty dubious calculations would transpire.
