No one is going to chase 100% vaccination in the UK what would be the point? Rapid vaccinations until you reach the Under 30s then revert to 9-5 7 days a week whilst sending the extra vaccines we ordering abroad because it's all well and good us being vaccinated but if Covid continues to run unchecked in some countries it will keep mutating. We need to push for vaccinations world wide

Until you reach the under 30's

Why

Head teacher sent us out a bulletin telling us we are all supposed to be in then immediately followed it with another email saying the director of education has now told him we're not to come in. Least that's finally cleared up.

Has your Head Teacher ever been seen in the same room as Boris Johnson?

Is it true that no Tory ministers will agree to do an interview with Channel 4 news?
I think so, they don't pull any punches.
First news program in the uk showing the full extent of covid in Italy and questioning herd mentality.
You just wouldnt see an Italian doctor screaming "what the hell are you doing" at a british epidemiologist on bbc.
Have trusted them since then. Not that the bbc or itv are tinfoil hat, just too well polished but lacking depth of reporting for me.

Can we expect this to be followed by the arrest of a 72 year old man who travelled from England to Aberdeenshire with the virus earlier in the year?

That wasn't illegal. He travelled to Scotland on 23rd March and was tested on 24th March. The legislation came in on the evening of 26th March.

And his son and daughter-in-law at the start of December?

That wasn't illegal either. Just mindless and ignorant.

6 months earlier...

Can't help but wonder how many additional lives and livelihoods have been lost due to pressure groups and the Labour leader's rhetoric in August enabling the government to open schools business as usual.

What is tragic is the number of children who have missed out on a decent education due to having to self isolate numerous times since the summer and the increased transmission in wider society, ultimately resulting in economic disaster for millions of people and death for those most vulnerable.

Bad as that contribution six months ago was, even in a statement yesterday and interview earlier today he was still refusing to say schools should close immediately.

He only finally came out and said they have to close now after the government had leaked that they were doing it to the press; he'll only call on the government to do something when they've already decided to do it.

He's legitimately worse than Richard Leonard. Wendy Alexander levels of appalling.

900k getting their first dose in January would be a huge step towards that. I find that an encouraging figure from today.


Slight word of caution on this. 900k doses in total available by the end of January was what was mentioned today by the FM, which is different to 900,000 people vaccinated in January.

This includes the ‘well over 100,000’ people who have already had their first dose. Some doses may end up used as a second dose. Some might be received in late January and therefore will physically go into arms in February.

We should be over 10% of the country done by the end of the month though, and you’d presume the bulk of that are the most vulnerable. Hopefully we see that coming through in ICU numbers/deaths, which ultimately will become the key measure for lifting restrictions in the coming months. Thousands of cases a day won’t be hugely important if they’re all under 40.
