    If football shuts down it's all over red rover. I'll go out with a bang on one of those Viking fire ships down the Thames.

    It doesn't take 3 seconds thought to see that it works for the majority of people. Carers and NHS staff are obviously a bit different. Carry on being a prick though, it isn't getting boring in any way.

    The majority of vulnerable people are not living alone with no need for support.

    Unless you're suggesting that any who live with family etc. move out and live alone, which I have seen some people doing.

    Which is why the people living with them also isolate.

    So if your Mum has cancer you aren't allowed to go to school for a year?

    No. You get prioritised for the vaccine. But if your mum is going through chemo right now then going to school is a fucking murder mission at this point.

    When my mum was having chemo she was hospitalised by a cold.

    Yes, now perhaps, but the suggestion seemed to be this should have been the strategy from the beginning.

    That's the choice some families were facing though. Don't send their child to school for an indeterminate amount of time or risk them bringing it home. Those were the type of people the guidelines were trying to protect.

    I had to turn down someone for the vaccine who is vulnerable and has moved away from their spouse and children for the duration of this.

    We've heroically offered to shut ourselves down to Stop the Spread, but I'm still at home, so it could end up being the experiment Taz wants.

    Why did you have to turn them down? Just not in the right group yet?

    There's a few things which disqualify you from having the Pfizer vaccine at the moment. From memory:

    - Previous serious allergic reaction (to anything)
    - Pregnant, breastfeeding, or trying to conceive (this has now changed but was the case when I did my last shift)
    - Had another vaccine in the last 2 weeks
    - Been a participant in a research trial for one of the vaccines

    Rather not be too specific, but safe to say they fell into one of those groups.

    If I could have a couple more weeks at home that would be great but I can't imagine a situation where our lot would close the office again, and given we wouldn't be alone what's the point?

    How can the health secretary go on TV and say the current restrictions are not enough, but also have absolutely no information about when new ones will come in and what they will be? The comms are absolutely ridiculous.

    Usually when this sort of thing happens in an organisation it's because one person at or near the top with key decision-making power is a pathetic mess, so no prizes for guessing who that is. Bring back Dominic Cummings as King-Emperor. Failing him, bring back Tony Blair, my misery feels like it needs compounding.

    The farce of the whole thing in England is the police crying about thousands of people from all over going to Rivington Pike at the weekend but not actually doing anything about it. The rules are a waste of time, tiers are a waste of time, the great unwashed are sick of experts.

    May aswell open the clubs.

    The most ardent of the lockdown screamers should turn their ire not on the current lot but on Theresa May, whose dismantling of the police force as home secretary means that there just aren't enough officers to police any restrictions even if they wanted them to. France with their well-stocked gendarmerie and Italy with their platoon of posing cretins do at least have the numbers to enforce.

    I agree but the fact the police attended the area and just pulled angry faces at everyone means they may aswell have dressed a scarecrow as a copper and saved some time and money.

    Cumbria police (like all regional police forces) are basically just people in dressing up outfits. The state of some of those American ones that wear big wide hats and then have to do press conferences about how the latest mass shooter has 'skipped the county' thanks to their stunning response capability.

    Any cop who was good at it would go to a city force where the crime is.

    You can see the argument for this with the vaccine on stream, but only if literally everything is rolling that out to the point where I'm not sure we should even be bothering with tests anymore since anyone conducting those could be jabbing somebody instead (and those drive-through areas would be perfect for it). We could have most of the worst cases done by the end of it.

    Yep, fair point on the testing Lewis. What is the actual point of continuing to do that?

    Next phase in the chapter of this gift that keeps on giving will be significant numbers of the vaccinated catching Covid in a couple of months, give or take, I'm absolutely convinced of it.

    We don't have enough vaccine to do a million per 45 minutes or whatever it is Tony Blair now wants us to do.

    I would love to see a full breakdown of the vaccine chain and where the blockages are that cause delays and mean us normies won't get one for a year. If it's supply of the vaccine then fine, but literally anything else is inexcusable.

    It doesn't wear off like that though does it? Like the vaccine doesn't actually give you a small does of it.


    Also, lol at everyone thinking it should be rolled out in a week.

    Latest numbers show that scouseland is getting it in the neck next, with the rest of the north soon to follow.

    Severely depressing stats today, I hope it is the worst day but experience tells me it'll be close to the best.

    A week ago some whales washed up and died on Withernsea beach, and, because there is no existing (or at least well-rehearsed) process for removing dead whales from beaches, the local news has been full of official idiots not knowing what to do so just acting busy talking to fishermen and animal charities. That is how I imagine the vaccine rollout is going.
