Had my vaccine 4-30 today all seems well, anybody apprehensive about having this should put their fears to the back off their mind and have it it’s the only way we are going to get back to normality sooner rather than later

There's no fucking way I'm having it as I've read on Twitter that your balls drop off.

We need to maximise use of the most effective vaccines to reduce transmission to the max. This might mean using Pfizer to the full even though more expensive and more awkward. We need though to work out which is truly the most effective. This matters because not everyone is going to take the vaccines and hence to get R below 1 without any isolation measures is going to take very effective vaccines. Perhaps it's going to take vaccination of children to do this. I think vaccine uptake will be very very high because people will realise that the only way that they can do the things they want to do relatively safely is through vaccination.

I think I said at the start of the week, this time next week let’s hope we are at 9 million vaccines and cases down to 23,000. Not far off on either I don’t think so a step forward. Let’s hope next week we are at 11/12/13 million and cases well under 15,000 and more evidence the vaccine is starting to impact. I think most people have conducted themselves beautifully this year and been kind and supportive of each other. We might come out of this better in the long run with the science advances, more mental health support and a better work life balance.

we have all shared this incredibly tough period of adversity together. If that can’t make us better humans nothing will.

Think we vaccinated circa 2.75 this week and that’s with a couple of days where each were under 250k. Not inconceivable that we can do 3m+ next week and throughout Feb if supplies exist. Could have 20m+ vaccinated by end of February which would be remarkable as that would mean top 6/7 groups all with first shot as a minimum. Could have all over 50s and clinically vulnerable 16+ adults done by end of March. If that is the case and infections continue to drop I can see things beginning to open up just after Easter

Nearly half a million new jabs, that’s fantastic.

you cant say that! Cleavers will go mad.

You’ll get nearly half a million new jabs next time @cleavers sees you.

You are right to bear that in mind. But no need to worry. As soon as Covid permits introduce him to family and friends. A good registered baby minder with a group of toddlers and space will do wonders. My grandson (aged 12 months) loves his days there.
He will soon make up for lost time: learning capacity massive in early years.
If grandparents are about, rope them in as soon as is ok covidwise. We are suckers!
Good luck with him. Enjoy.

Several articles on developments of babies in the first 2 to 3 years of life but this worth a read:
