Even so, that's 50% of infected people isolating and reducing transmission, if they do the right thing.

Which they don't so it's pointless

Yeah, but apart from all that Boris and his govt have really done a great job.

Yeh apart from the U turns and flinging money at their pals and let's not forget £10k for every MP to get set up working from home.

They've done some mass testing- Johnstone and Pollokshields got tested. Don't know how many people actually participated in it. 

I think that was for community surveillance rather than saying you can do what you want now you've had a negative test.

Pal works in morrisons in Perth.

Apparently people have already started panic buying.

My wife has been panic buying for years judging by what we have in the cupboards and the freezer(s).

We've enough to last us at least 4/6 weeks other than milk, bread, fresh fruit and veg.

We've also got about enough toilet roll and kitchen roll to see us through to the end of February or thereabouts.

They need to come up with something to get these vaccines out faster once the AZ one gets approved. If AZ can make it faster than traditional methods can dispense it, then get it sent to workplace occupational health departments, or toured round the place on the blood buses or something.

Could you lend me some dried egg and lard?

I'm potentially as late as September but if they can administer 1.5m vaccines a week then that later date moves to June.

I guess it's all about the Oxford vaccine getting approved and hopefully some time in the new year a single shot vaccine will be available.

I should get mine in February according to that.

I'll keep you posted...

She's only been to the shops twice/three times since the first lockdown, back in March.

Having said that, might get an extra couple of loaves delivered this week.

Correct. If it goes ahead, they should throw EVERYTHING at it. Should be vaccinating from 6am-10pm (we do for elections) every day.

It needs to be a monumental effort - nothing else will do

Very sensible on both counts 👍

Wow. Haven't been on here since Friday so just catching up. In a nutshell, this thread has showed there's some genuinely decent people out there who are willing to look out for eachother and there's also a lot of selfish c***s which pretty much is this country in a microcosm. This new news will have hit folk hard, I know some of my friends and my girlfriend are really struggling with the new restrictions. All we can do is be there for eachother, especially at this time of year.

If anyone is struggling I'm always happy to have a chat or whatever and you can drop me a message. Despite the arseholes, I genuinely think most folk on here are decent and would look out for eachother. Just all need to do our best to keep out heads above water at the moment.

Says January for me.
As much as that's generally not good news (in terms of the seriousness of your health situation), you've got to see it as a badge if honour!

I'm sure there's a good gif somewhere of someone smugly shuffling past a long queue of disgruntled faces.
