Coronavirus

[Cheltred]

This approval seems a lot more consequential than the first as we actually have a large supply of this one (and it's easier to distribute etc.)

It seems the plan for this vaccine is that the second dose comes three months after the first - which should also speed up distribution at the start of 2021. Promising stuff.

I had thought it was 4 weeks, but the BBC website says 4 to 12. Presumably the first one gives you a certain degree of immunity?

Going to be an interesting week or so ahead for me.

Being on the most vulnerable list our daughter who lives with us has tested positive today, thats one of the problems with her being a manager at CEX and in the great sprawling shithole they call Bridgwater where they still point at helicopters as they fly over.

Fingers crossed if/when I get it that it doesn't attack my already shitty lungs.

What a fucking Christmas this has been already.

Stay safe JJ, fingers crossed m8 you are ok .... same for all your family.... 

Vitamin D3 & K2 combined to bolster up your immune system bud.... or ... sometimes a 21yr old Thai bird with baby oil also helps

Yes no way of avoiding it

Given furlough is confirmed until April, we’re in peak virus season, numbers are rocketing and we now have a bona Fide exit strategy, i don’t understand why we aren’t having another nationwide lockdown similar to the one last March. Shut everything down completely for three months, industrialise the vaccinations in that time and bosh - you exit March with little to no community spread and the majority of the population vaccinated

Seems silly to let people continue to get ill and die when the end is so near

In the trials, none of the participants experienced serious symptoms of COVID requiring hospital treatment after the first dose i.e. some did still catch COVID after the first jab, but much less than in the general population and even for those who got it it seems to have mitigated the impact of it.

so I think grassroots footy can continue for u18, provided you don't go down a tier to do so...

The guidance JPL had from the FA in the last lockdown was that we could go to play games across Tiers. Although the relevant games were then called off anyway due to waterlogged pitches

EDIT: that was between Tiers 2 and 3, seems Tier 4 you're right, you can't go in or out to train or play. Which will screw up a good chunk of N Wilts fixtures

Best of luck, JJ.  Thinking of you all.

Shut the schools completely for a few months, have some parred back distance learning if they must, and condense or cancel Easter/spring/summer school holidays to make the time back
