I flew in the day before the UK got locked out of Europe. Not having to go to work next year is going to be sweet.
Unemployed?
Popped into the supermarket on lunch and my word was it heaving. Secured some milk and dashed.
It seems a bit mad that bureaucratic form-filling rules are proving any sort of impediment to vaccine distribution (or if not actually impeding it, making it exponentially more expensive).
I see the EU have just approved the Pfizer one. Nice one lads, finger on the pulse and all.

The sun never sets etc.
Prescriptions are a pretty big deal from a legal perspective so I can understand why they are needed until a PGD is sorted.
I don't understand the logistics behind a PGD but I agree you would've thought they had enough time to sort one whilst the vaccines were in development. Maybe they can't be done until after approval or something, I don't know.
As RL said, it will speed up significantly. The major hamstring right now is that Pfizer are trying to scale up production rapidly while more and more countries approve it. When Oxford and Moderna get approved we’ll be smashing through the immunisation programme. Wouldn’t be surprised to see the vast majority of the country vaccinated by Easter.
If they persevere with their plan to get all the pharmacies doing them and the supply chain can keep up, then we could rattle along pretty quickly.
I note Zom didn't state which year.
This stopping of exports/imports at the French crossing really is bollocks. They're acting as if the new strain on appeared over the weekend. It's already in your country fellas.
This hasn't really lived up to the billing.
If they want a share of our natural resources then that includes viruses.
As to the first bit, without having any knowledge of the field, wouldn't that be more to do with them being for illegal high drugs than for any vaccine relevant concern?
And yeah, you would have thought that if you can get regulatory approval on the fly whilst developing the thing you could also do the legal admin, but maybe not. Knowing lawyers, probably not.
Anyway, do we know what sort of covid President Biscuit has?
Would be quite lol if he has THE VARIANT.
It is a lot, but we're going to be pumping resources into this. They'll be drafting doctors, GPs, nurses, med students, pharmacists etc to immunise. Even if we can't get everyone done by then, we can probably cover all old people and co-morbidities. Maybe finish up with young and healthy people by summer at the latest. I'm confident.
Bless the optimism.
7om, you are what I needed right now. And for that, I thank you. You're welcome round my Tier 4 infested house for Christmas Dinner if you wish.
It's a new vaccine, but the majority of risk groups are the same people we give the flu jab every year. We really should be getting this done double quick.
Once all the pensioners and write-offs are done (which is what a third of the country at most?) you could lift most restrictions.
Everything but the clubs.
Keep the clubs closed forever.
I'm day 5 post covid test and still no results. Outstanding. (Everyone else was negative so minor point)
The drama when it turns out you have it.
I’d back him still travelling.
Got no where else to travel at this point. Super spreading event is complete.
Other than the loss of taste and smell and regular coughing, I haven't felt anything like covid symptoms.
I had my sixth test today. Every negative result is another huge 'fuck you' to Beijing. Warring China from early pays, kids.
See you guys hit 1000 cases today .
We did indeed. The ministers have gone above and beyond and if they have any self-awareness they'll all move away once this all dies down.
2 good pieces of info from BBC News@10:
- a prison guard meeting inmates for just 1 minute managed to infect them so even short time exposure isn't safe (previous info talked of 15 minute exposure as being some arbitrary guideline).
- a diner in a South Korean restaurant managed to infect two fellow diners who were sitting 4m and 6m away due to air circulation vaused by A/C. If this is the end of A/C, COVID continues to give us wins upon wins
I thought the prison guard was infected by one of the prisoners, but that whole segment was more confusing than a government approved tier system.
Yeah I thought that might have been the case, I was only half-watching but I then thought it would have made more sense if the guard had infected multiple inmates rather than simply ome guard being infected. The lesson here is, don't try and assume this shit
The government's previous forecasts haven't been so hot, so I'd take that with a rather large pinch of salt.
The modellinghas been faultless on this from day 1, especially the worst-case scenarios. Close the clubs.
'Some in Govt asking' as if there wasn't obvious acceptance that Christmas was worth a few thousand deaths.
Jihadi Don coming in with the sarcasm. I like it.
700,000 a week would be 3 million a month, i.e. 1 in 22 people to get it just in that month. That sounds like a lot to me.
We’re shutting up hotels and restaurants from Christmas Eve again, inter county travel ban from Stephen’s Day, and the UK travel ban into New Years.
