Coronavirus

This ref is just making it up as he goes.

Oddly appropriate wrong thread that.

Anywho, more good news... Jeremy Cunt reckons we'll run out of jabs in January - we've not ordered enough.

As per my previous post, NHS Trusts were emailed in the week to be told that they were getting fewer vaccine doses than promised due to limited supply, pissed a lot off as they had spent ages planning based on government reassurances of what they would be getting.

Just put my details into the vaccination calculator,  should get mine in June.

What year?

The system did not make sense from the start, how can you have medium risk, high risk and very high risk - that makes tier 4 then very, very high risk?

He should never have given people the hope in the first place to be honest. He’s made himself look more of a cunt than he already is

Should never have offered the 5 day break in the first place, I am glad they have come to their senses but in a totally bizarre way and with terrible timing.  I still stand with they should have used the Xmas period as a chance to lockdown for 6 weeks, but should have announced it at the start of Dec so everyone could prepare.

2020

Suddenly from tier 2 to tier 4.  Thankfully pre-empted the lockdown earlier today of my own accord.  

Fortunate enough (for now) to take a financial hit and pass on turkey and surplus food to nearby foodbank.  No politics, but it's a very sorry state of affairs.  Will selfishly be keeping some of the better treats in the fridge freezer.

Erring on the side of caution, wherever possible, seems decent.  I really appreciate that the range of situations, family and individual, are kaleidoscopic.  Regardless, a safe and fortunate New Year to all.  Including STFC, natch.

All tiers are irrelevant while the schools were still open.
Boris is an utter cunt but Starmer said schools should stay open and he was wrong too. This was a huge mistake as the kids literally climb over each other. This is without mentioning the fact that we're an island and could have closed our borders early on. No hindsight in those views. The bleeding obvious.....

The only time I've seen the incumbent PM mostly use the science for the first time. This is is how direct he should have been at the outset. It's the least I've seen him bumble and fettle his way through a Covid Conf.

Mind you...

Never understood the school thing, what's the point of all the other restrictions?

balance. we need schools to keep parents in work and the kids on track.

we need to close businesses but we cant afford to.
we need to avoid family gatherings at christmas but people need to see each.
we need to close the borders but are dependant on travel and trade.

for every decision made there is an equal balanced argument for an against. it's a messed up world at the moment and we really need this vaccine to rule out and get those admissions down and start opening again.

went to Newbury services tonight to do a family present exchange. barely a car park space left families with boots opening everywhere with the same idea. quite a sight seeing families together like that making the best of a bad situation and one of those memories that will stick in your head.

Found out earlier that my Nan has already had the vid.

That probably makes her a lot safer (fingers crossed)
