It was on his twitter account yesterday.

Antibodies or is that bull to?

When Boris next comes on TV he should be highlighting this and explaining to us why the police are doing fuck all and also why the BBC are not criticising it

Yet arresting 2 women, clearly socially distanced, in a remote place, who are not breaking any law, other than drove a bit to get there.

No wonder the public are confused !

Nearly 1% of the UK population were tested today.

I find that staggering, that in 24 hours, that many feel they actually need a test, do they all really need to be tested because they think they have symptoms ?

The absolutely last place I want to go is a testing centre, unless I have very good reason to go get a test. If you want to catch this, a testing centre is the most likely place to actually catch it (other than hospital or care home perhaps).

The BBC have been thick as fuck right back since March.

Morons

About sums them up.

A company called Edge Health have analysed IFR rates by district to derive immunity levels. You might find it interesting.

Take IFR of 0.5% and the death total for the UK and you get 16m infections 24% of the population. They get 22.5%

You can project forward for yourselves to the 15th Feb using the Govt vaccination target and your own estimate of the new infections per day.

They reckon 38.6% of people in Manchester have been infected. Sounds very high as I didn't think Manchester had been badly affected.

Regarding Ferran Torres, there's reinfection, and there's illness. Two different things.

But the haphazard way this is being done is absurd. At 89 now my friend is in dire need given her problems but still had heard nothing apart from - she insists - a phone call before Christmas FROM Hancock himself assuing her she was getting it early as one of the ones who was on the vulnerable list.

I've had a discussion with my mum today, she's 79, and heard nothing, but everyone over 75 she knows has had at least 1 jab, they are being informed by letter, and all over the christmas mass post period, I've told my mum she needs to discuss with her doctor tomorrow, because she may have been sent a letter and just not received it, so tell your friend to phone immediately, as she just may not have got her/his letter.

Don't take no for an answer, lots haven't turned up for appointments, that may be because they never received their appointment.

We haven't reached the over 75s yet. It''s over 80s & Hancock revealed today that we're through 1/3 of the over 80s.

 

[cleavers]

We haven't reached the over 75s yet.

Clearly they have where my mum lives, everyone she knows over 75 has had their first jab, and she knows a lot as she's 79, so respectfully please take your comment and shove it.

That's a bit OTT.

The NHS is currently offering the COVID-19 vaccine to people most at risk from coronavirus.

In England, the vaccine is being offered in some hospitals and pharmacies, at hundreds of local vaccination centres run by GPs and at larger vaccination centres.

It's being given to:

• people aged 80 and over
• people who live or work in care homes
• health and social care workers at high risk

You will also need to be registered with a GP surgery in England. You can register with a GP if you do not have one.

The vaccine will be offered more widely as soon as possible.
