DeeTillEhDeh Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 We should. Freeman said 1m. You don't get to set a target. Half it. Then proclaim to be on target because you look like achieving that. Especially when the resources to hit 1m were available.That's not what was said though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeTillEhDeh Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Then the minister responsible for the vaccination program shouldn't have pledged one million by the end of this month then. And should promptly resign for making of arse of it.She didn't though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Aldo Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 There needs to be more accounts like Covid Fact Check That and "Coronavirus Good News" are the only accounts I pay any real attention to.I've said before but if my only source of news came from the mainstream media I'd have topped myself months ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 The mainstream UK media are fucking arseholes. Knowing that the lowest common denominator lap up everything they tell us and that 70% of us will be dead from COVID within 18 months. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djchapsticks Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 (edited) So wait....WHAT? The new variant doesn't appear to kill more people that it hospitalises. The mortality rate of those in hospital are the same. But it kills 30% more people that it infects. But we've only looked at a few cases so we don't know for certain yet. I mean I know the fucking answer but why even put that info out there?! Edited January 22, 2021 by djchapsticks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 I think this is a precursor to "restrictions will be extended until at least the end of February" in England. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've said before but if my only source of news came from the mainstream media I'd have topped myself months ago. Are these two accounts verified as being good sources run by people who know what they're talking about? It's important that just because the media are scaremongering people don't fall into the trap of believing anyone who says things to the contrary - that's what made "Professor" Karl Sikora prominent for a wee while. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aufc Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 The £500 for isolating seems like a good idea but will be hard to execute. Maybe better to give the money to a local team who can distribute medical stuff, food and help with bills or talk to employers?Or sort out sick pay whereby people dont feel the need to lie about having symptoms. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MP_MFC Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Whitty and Vallance definitely don't seem to believe the change is really a significant one.Of course it'll now fuel the media hysteria just nice enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'There's no evidence.....there's no real evidence.....we don't know for certain.....these are preliminary' Both seem very keen to distance themselves from sensationalism but appear to be having to go with it to toe the party line of 'obey, obey, obey'. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MuckleMoo Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 By all means tell the public if the virus is becoming more deadly but can they at least wait until they have the actual evidence to prove it, rather than this anecdotal bullshit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expect those lorry queues to return as the French decide to close the border to risk assess the situation again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
