I wonder when normal people will get it. Is there any timeline for that yet?

They said on the news earlier that 2-3 million of them will have been done by the New Year. For a nation of 70 million odd that seems like pretty good going. Especially as they're mostly from the main at risk group (and workers in their fields).
Normal people won't be having it, the sheep and easily brainwashed will be receiving it on the timelines discussed above though
Most people will get the cheapo Oxford one that is more suitable to mass rollout.
Wales to go back into lockdown from the 28th then.
It's almost a given that England will follow in January, isn't it?
Nobody's saying this, but the last lockdown (be it Welsh, English or anywhere else) basically had no effect, did it?
I can confidently say that my life changed by 0% during the last "lockdown".
Lol didn't you all give me piles of abuse when I said the exact same thing?
There's spares so I'm getting a vaccine.
I'll WhatsApp you from the club losers.
I’m 5th on the list of 13 groups here. Teachers are 11th which just about sums up the whole handling of it all.
Heard that schools have been asked to shut until at least the 11th (expected more) in north london with rising cases and expectation that it's only going to get worse. Sounds pretty desperate.
Instead of the deaths and case tallies, they should show a daily VACCINATIONS-OMETER hosted by Jermaine Jenas and that black lesbian lass with hairy armpits. 2m by end of year did you say? Of the 70m, 20m are ethnics and 40m of the remainder are probably fat deliveroo fucks so we're probably looking at 60m as being the point when the bunting can come out and clubs reopen.
I was thinking this earlier. I want a live vaccine count in the top corner on every channel and I want those Nonce Hunters reassigned to deal with the antivaxxers.
They reckon herd immunity starts at 60%, but if they're prioritising the vulnerable we should see a pretty sharp drop after the 60+ mob are sorted.

They have 25m down on the priority list but some people will be doubled up on categories. That's a fair chunk but is it the fair chunk but it's not 60%
60%+ bodyfat mob will probably need it too if they're going to not clog up the NHS.
The problem is that as soon as you give teaching unions / frightened parents an inch, they'll want schools shut for another six months and everyone to be awarded straight As again.
I went out without a mask at lunchtime, and it felt weird. I felt naked and exposed, and I was tapping my pockets trying to work out what I had forgotten.... wallet, phone, keys... seatbelt... bag... I'd clearly forgotten something. I then realised that you don't wear seatbelts on scooters, and it was indeed the face mask.
I forgot something once. In my other coat it was.
Sounds like PTSD to me.
They've conditioned you. Wake up sheeple.
That's nothing. I left a bag we needed in the car once. Nightmare.
I've just read that back and realised how incredibly dull it sounds It was less a story of forgetting to wear my mask, and more a 'life after masks' moment of freedom. You guys will enjoy similar liberties in 6 months or so.
We only wear a mask indoors, unlike you freaks.
The doc who visited my nan on Monday called a minute ago as he tested positive for Covid. Fuck sake.
I much prefer the papery surgical masks to fabric ones. The fabric ones get really damp and clammy from your breath if you wear them for any length of time.
Yet another 'don't kill granny' positioning piece from the Beeb, using REAL people with their REAL experiences.

I saw that - the headline is pure propaganda.
I also want to hear much, much less from people who live with loving partners/families in nice houses and will 'not have the family round this year - we can do it any time'. In fact, I've wanted to hear much less from those people since the very start of lockdown.
You can, you just need plenty of lube.
She does have some pretty strong vitamin d tablets so should be fine on that front. Probably going to a test centre in the next few days. It's day 3 since the visit so it's a bit of an unknown at this point. Test and Trace called us this morning so will hear them out soon on advice.
They are, but so is Jimmy. I work with a lot of people that are completely isolated. I've been told by more than one of them (without sarcasm) that me giving them a call has been the highlight of their week. They are going to see their families, because it's the only time they ever do.
The suicide figures this winter are going to be shocking.
She wasn't, he was and contact was minimal. I'm with her so obviously need to go down the same path. Nightmare fucking virus.
Exactly. I'm not really isolated at all, but I'm still starting to feel it at the moment just from the sheer stretches of time spent alone during the last few months (I see 4-5 people in the office which is a lifesaver). For people with other jobs or without jobs and who don't have family close, it must be absolutely awful, but this is never recognised in the media discourse.
