Leaving the uk tomorrow managed to pay for a test to leave. The local government ones weren’t available the gov website said they were to overrun. Went with my dad to see if people can just turn up, not a single person in the test centre apart from employees haha but they did refer us back to the website to rebook. Take care all and happy new year and hopefully we will all see an end to this madness soon x

Ministers are aiming for all vulnerable Britons included in its priority list of nine vulnerable groups, which cover around a quarter of the population, to receive a first dose of the jab by the end of February, and a second dose by the end of March.

Once this feat is achieved, mortality from the illness will be reduced by up to 99 per cent”

Thats the target I heard back in November, but was told the 9 groups were about 20 million people and while the total population is about 65 mill the target is to get about 45 mill over 25s done by end of July. and the 20 million by the end of March is nearer half the vaccines needed to reach that target.
Whether we’ll vaccinate any under 18 s in the second part of the year I don’t know will probably depend on new trials, but there is a thought a far higher % age of under 25 s will have had the virus many asymptomatically and will already have some immunity.

Most place I've seen say about 7 days after the final dose. They also say it starts building up about 7 days after the first dose.

Yep, so basically some effectiveness after a week. Which is better than none for the first few weeks. That’s positive whichever way you look at it, and while I think it may get worse before it gets better, I’m optimistic that in perhaps as little as 4-6 weeks time we will start to see the impact of the vaccine in terms of the figures being reported.

I don't know who she is but that article was reasoned rather than the hysterical nonsense you usually read in the media. I've got no argument in principle with quarantine as a strategy to reduce infection rate but to be effective people have to be informed and buy into it. Instead, lockdowns have become blunt force instruments executed by distant elites who have an innate fear of the 'mob'.
