COVID-19 — Coronavirus

Sprint didn’t bring a cessation in 2020 though. Do you mean summer?

German Health minister is reported as saying that Hancock told him UK would have herd immunity by the Spring (through vaccination).

I don't think that's herd immunity but getting through Phase 1, and vaccinating the group that carries 99% of mortality risk would effectively end this epidemic as a national preoccupation.

It depends on being able to execute the vaccination on that scale and no vaccine evasion.

Tier 4 for me in Coventry as well. Doubt I'll notice much difference tbh.

Could have waited till Saturday

Candle burners and the moaning cunts still on for having crowds at games...standard decision there...been victims enough in the last 30 years

Also just a guess, but presume there hospitals are not under the increased pressure other tier 4 areas are in

Logic has nothing to do with what is going on with Liverpool. They will end up in tier 4. Way too late for their citizens sadly.

The new variant is probably rampant in GM and it will be heading fast west down the M62 because it can.

Only lockdown had a chance of stopping it.

In a pandemic the countries that win act BEFORE the mess happens when they see it coming. They do not wait until your house has burnt down to call the fire brigade.

Hancock is acting after it is already too late nearly every time.

Great. Another few weeks without the gym.

No football or golf for me, but as I know families have lost loved ones and some mates who have lost their job and might lose their home I am not going to complain - it is darkest before the dawn and next few months going to be tough for many people.

Not doing was the one sensible thing done today.

Is it not that Liverpool is being treated slightly differently because of the increased testing trial thing going on there?

It’s because they are biggest and best moaners in Britain and possibly Europe

They've been moved to tier 3 haven't they which means no fans at games?
