One year ago today, the first press release was issued by the Wuhan Health Commission about cases of a novel pneumonia connected to a seafood market.

So, the latest schools approach is basically...bung 33 kids into a small classroom for the day. However, once they leave the gates at the end of the day, they cannot go into anyone's else's house, and if they want to meet anyone else, can only do so if its 1 person......and its outside.

Makes perfect sense....after all school buildings are still safer than the 'community' it seems.

If all the over 50s are expected to have their first shot by late spring, so probably late May, 5 months away, and the time between shots is 4-12 weeks, or about 3 months, then presumably at least 40% of those are going to have had their 2nd shots. That would surely mean that front line health workers, over 65s, and those with underlying conditions will have mostly been fully vaccinated. If that is the case, surely we should be in level 0/1 restrictions at the very most, with higher restrictions only used if there is a particularly concerning outbreak?

That is still utter nonsense

It had turned the vast majority of people's working life on its head forever it's not a prediction it's actually happened.

Thing is of course that at the start of lockdown, March/April time, there seemed to be a vibe that life was different and potentially better, maybe we could change how we live, but as soon as things started to open up everyone wanted back to the old normal, and now it is very much that way, there are restricions in place right now but most people just seem to want back to their old lives, no matter how bad they were.

I get my 1st Pfizer vaccine jab today (31st).

All it does is reduce the chance that I won’t get sick if I get covid. It’s possible for me to still get the virus, carry it and pass it onto others.

Increase the chance you won't get sick?

We don't know enough to reach conclusions either way at the moment.

How can things get any tighter than tier 4? Takeaways shut again what use would that have other than putting more people out of work/on furlough.? Back to being allow just 1 hour outdoors again when we are told the virus in mainly prevalent indoors? Horse bolted etc.


No elite sport?
