Coronavirus (2021) thread

Has the government come out and said what the criteria is for lifting the restrictions?

Like, do so many have to be vaccinated or do only so many infections per day?

I'm going to guess it'll be based on public opinion tbh mate. That and the stats. Unless we're seeing a dramatic reduction in cases or deaths, then expect things to carry on for a while.

Cumulative UK vaccinations can be seen here:

Per 3 Jan it were 1.3m, per 10 Jan 2m (not yet in the grahic)
and I understand from now on 200k per day is the plan?

Yes I’d slate the current governments handling of everything bar the purchasing of the vaccines they have succeeded compared to our European cousins (im pro EU)

Bad shot

It was about as grovelling as a letter can get. In June, the health ministers of Germany, France, Italy and the Netherlands were forced by their respective chancellors and prime ministers to write to the President of the European Commission

Ok, got it now. Next week will be the big ramp up then as already stated on here. At least the daily vaccination figures will be something to look forward to because the daily updates on numbers of infections and deaths certainly aren’t.

He did mention that they're hitting 200,000 per day. With a third of over 80s done to date.
Forty people getting theirs at my wifes place tomorrow. Those are big numbers when you about that taking place across the nation.

The daughter works in a private care home and had her second jab on Friday, all she's shown me is the little appointment card that has her 2 appointments on it?

I suppose it will all documented on a government database. Which can be used to create a passport card if needed

I'd doubt that very much. It'll be medical records for sure but the former would require consent and legislation.

A Derby County side decimated by COVID19 positive tests is knocked out of the FA Cup by a Chorley side who celebrate in a way which suggests they too will be decimated by COVID19 positive tests in the not too near future but hey ho the vaccine is on its way...........let’s hope I’m wrong.......

Whilst Rooney and his first teamers live to fight another day with praise for doing the right thing and no criticism for fielding a weak team and Chorley have their big day. Win/win for some but let's hope the Chorley players don't take the virus into their wider community or that the Derby kids don't kop it.

True- certainly amazing compared to the states. Still missed certain groups though but not bad. Would UBI have been better? I’m not an economist or a business owner so I don’t know.

The players have had tests and isolated up to 10 days ahead of the game, do some research.

plus they’re playing footie for 90mins and getting changed in the changing room, so I’m sure this celebration for the biggest win in the clubs history isn’t going to make any difference whatsoever

Top doctors and scientists are less certain of the efficacy of research and theirs is the best available and not something like the research you quote that you've read in the Sun.
