Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?

Good news on the Pfizer vaccine: Pfizer now saying it no longer needs to be stored at ultra-low temperatures and normal freezers will do. Which will greatly aid rollout and enable it to be used in countries where it previously wouldn't have been feasible

 Just had my first jab, the Pfizer one so still a scum fee zone. It was busy but pretty well organised at gwh.
Hancock is a tool and it's no surprise the contracts didn't come under scrutiny.
I think Boris is keeping him and Williamson in role for now as they are useful idiots to him. I also think Boris remains in power as a useful idiot to the Tory grandees. Once this crisis is over I'd expect a lot of movement prior to the next election.

Which we are not surprised in the slightest by.  However the next question is who paid the costs?  It's usual that the people who are ruled against also have costs awarded against them.  Who pays?  The government?  Is that our money?  This is a genuine question.

looks like the 'leaks' have started ahead of tomorrow's announcements.


https://news.sky.com/story/covid-19-all-schools-in-england-to-reopen-on-8-march-as-pm-plots-course-to-ease-lockdown-12225278

Quote
All schools in England will reopen to all pupils on 8 March under the prime minister's roadmap out of lockdown to be announced tomorrow, with outdoor after-school sports and activities also allowed to restart.

And on the same date, outdoor recreation with one other person will also be permitted, meaning people will be allowed to sit together in a park with a coffee, drink or picnic.


From 29 March, larger groups will be able to meet outside - including in private gardens - up to a maximum of six people or two households.

Tennis courts, golf courses and other outdoor sport facilities will also reopen on 29 March, which is the first Monday of most schools' Easter holidays.

At the same time, organised adults and children's sport, including grassroots football, will restart.


The relaxation of measures is the first stage of a four-part roadmap expected to include the reopening of non-essential retail and hospitality in the coming months

Yes and it's something the judge commented on in his remarks, that if the government had been more candid about the lack of transparency (i.e. hadn't lied) they could have saved £1/4m in costs

I can meet one friend outside but my fiancée can meet with 33 households indoors. Awesome. Sound logic.

So we're going to be led by data, not dates.

But also, here's the dates everything is going to open again over the next 6 months. Twats.

The 8th March.

3 weeks after April, apparently.

I thought this also. Would it have made sense to have aligned the staggering of the opening up of things when certain rates or numbers are hit, rather than dates?

Probably way too complicated, but if there was a section where Pubs and restaurants could open only when rates were xxxx then I know it would motivate me to continue to adhere to the rules. (not that I don't anyway)
