No numbers or more specific dates just end Spring so yes that technically is end May ...which if two doses up to 12 weeks apart are involved would fit having things a lot closer to normal by spring once the higher risk group have all had the first jag. 70% efficacy on a single dose with almost no hospitalisations for those that do still catch it. Potentially up to 95% effective after the second dose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our PM ladies and gentlemen. I live in Greenwch and teach in Lewisham, two of the 'safe' London boroughs which won't be closing primary schools. In the week before Christmas, we had to close as 17 staff were self isolating, another 8 had tested positive and one was in hospital on oxygen. The boroughs directly to the north, east, south and west are all too dangerous to open schools apparently (even though some of them have lower case rates), so I'm expecting to see some border controls on Monday. Floating mines on the Thames, blowing up Surrey Canal bridge, that sort of thing. Here's a map showing the madness of this.

You can always pay around £10 for the flu jab at any chemists worth it imo. Ha ha.

It was fucking horrible. And with no vaccine until recently (caring duties, not quite old enough yet to qualify, in a normal year anyway). On this point. See when we do go back to work and that as normal, hopefully this will be the end of having to go to work with a head-splitting cold and coughing/sneezing all over offices just so you don't need to phone in. My employers have been utterly shite on this point since forever. Last year prior to the pandemic I asked if I could work from home one day (we've had people WFH here and there on set days for ages) because I was howking up a kilo of phlegm on an hourly basis and was told if I wasn't well enough to come in to the office I wasn't well enough to work and would need to take an absence. 4 absences in an 18 month period is a disclipinary regardless of actual time off where being off for a day or a week makes no difference so I went to work to save these days for occasions where I might actually be very unwell. Stupid c***s will have to think differently from now on and avoid people having to make that kind of decision to go and infect their colleagues. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely this is obvious to them. This is a lot of what my issue has been for several weeks, these 'advisors' either hedge their bets or offer up information that simply doesn't add up under scrutiny. The comparison point for me is what the likes of van Tam, Sridhar would be saying right now if we didn't have three functioning vaccines - if all the attempts to produce one had ended an utter failure. What would have been their advice based on The Science in that entirely plausible scenario, a dejected return to the Stone Age? That they're still trotting in this hand wringing 'yes but' nonsense shows that these clowns now need to be thanked for the efforts and shown the door. - Close schools where there is community transmission (catch up later). - Tell folk to shield who should be doing so - Vaccinate like f**k - Open up based on ICU levels and not based on how many 20 year olds have got a cough - Spoiler That's it.

philpy Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 The wife is a domestic at 2 schools in the area, and both schools have had confirmed cases, but she is never told which classes or years the cases have been in. A lot of the pupils can be passing her in the corridors as she is going into clean classrooms after they exit, so surely she should be a bit more privvy to any information?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob1885 Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 There are a few folk absolutely ripping the arse out the support bubbles. Its like most things though, there’s always a small minority of arseholes to ruin something. Aye what I was getting at. It's a tough one making a judgement call if you're a single person household but they be the breaks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
