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.
    Is it any wonder when you've got sycophants like RL screaming at you to pull your mask up and stay at home.

    Huge amount of the south being put in Tier 3 now including my area. Meanwhile they aren't lifting restrictions on areas in the north with decreasing rates - feels punitive rather than evidence-based. I really am fed up with all this miserable shit.

    Indeed. A few of my friends live in areas where it's dropped to almost nothing, and they were expecting to move to tier 2. They're all going mental on Facebook.

    Once they put you in Tier 3 it's basically impossible to get out. They only let Liverpool out so they could chest thump about their mass testing being effective (9 months too late).

    Most of it seems to assume that everyone has no option but to go and mix on government orders, which seems to me to contradict their previous approach to new guidance being issued which was to act like we're all mongs who need step-by-step instructions.

    Clearly everything they are doing at the moment is centred around a desperate bid to stop anyone going anywhere for Christmas, but lacking the stones to actually legislate on it and then have to do anything about the millions of rebels against that.

    That must be 3/4s of the country in tier 3 now?

    Might as well have just continued the November lockdown for an extra few weeks to really get the numbers down before Christmas. They've already shown the regional lockdowns don't work.

    We've been in this Tier 3 since the school holidays in October, after being promised it would only be 2 weeks.

    But we've killed their tourism so lol at that too.

    Is it true that many of the influential MPs' constituencies are moving to tier 2?

    All of Surrey into tier 3...except Waverley.

    No, it's not true, sounds like something northerners on Facebook would come up with as a conspiracy theory. Dominic Raab's (and my) constituency, Michael Gove's, Grant Shapps and others are all heading up to Tier 3 today. Waverley is just pretty villages so can imagine rates lower down there.

    North Somerset going down to Tier 2 which might be JRM's, I can't remember.

    Opening Bristol pubs for the week before Christmas (and New Year's Eve) is a bit of a head scratcher, to say the least.

    I don't get my kicks from having scotch eggs with my Jager so tier 3 is absolutely no different for me. Going to restart going gym as of today actually, I hear the sauna and steam room is back

    Yes, though our Tier 3 just means everywhere closes at 6PM and no booze is allowed indoors or outdoors, effectively killing the working man.

    As one of the first men to set foot in tier 3, tier 2 (and all its mass testing for those without symptoms) feels pretty good.

    Possibly questionable sources but of no worse quality than RedditLad's offerings, I'm hearing Easter Monday as possible date of exit from tier system. Monday 5 April. Clear out the calendars, line up the dealers and brasses, we're bringing in the new tax year in some style boys.

    I don't know why you continue this line, which was never true in the first place.

    Surely if they carry on vaccinating people at a reasonable rate, the deaths will fizzle out pretty quickly by about February?

    We might still be wearing masks and the clubs may still be shut, but I'm pretty confident we'll all be living lives akin to tier 1 or better by some point in Spring. And we can then move on to sorting China and by extension, the WHO out.

    If we have procured enough vaccine (which seems to be the one single very good call this government has made all year), I should have thought we should be shambles-proof.

    The NI executive is currently meeting to discuss new restrictions. Rumours of a 6 week lockdown of hospitality and non-essential retail from Christmas Eve. Also read that apparently restricting the opening hours of essential retail, requiring them to close st 8pm, is being considered. I don't get the point of that. Surely people going to shops and supermarkets to get groceries being restricted to certain times will just result in those places being busier during those hours?

    I always go to the shop or supermarket at like 10pm these days to avoid it being busy.

    I still can’t understand why supermarkets haven’t opened 24/7. Went the other morning to Tesco and 7am and just drove off there was that many fuckers there.

    35,000 new cases, although Wales misplaced 15,000 of theirs. As you do. Tier 3's done the North East alright, I guess. Everyone else is fucked.

    Thinking about this, I wonder where the constraint in the vaccine supply chain is? If it's in manufacturing then we should be out temporarily requisitioning various chemical-making facilities/perfume manufacturers or whatever has the necessary kit to churn it out at mass volume. I can't imagine it's in storage/transport as we probably have shitloads of that at flexible capacity/scale

    There's a lot when you really think about it. Even if you had the millions to go, you can't have thousands upon thousands lining car parks to take the jab. Not in this climate. Storage is tricky with the -70c operating window. In conventional fridge you've only got six days before it goes south. And the fact it's a two jab process means you have to hold doses back for patients who are due their second.

    I think with the Pfizer vaccine it is indeed storage. Has to be stored at -80 as I'm sure you've seen, and once it's defrosted it has to be used (that's the only reason I've had one).

    Once one of the other two gets going it'll start rolling out much more widely I imagine.

    We're going to need some more information.

    As in context, not a breakdown of the romp. Although that's welcome too.

    Is it only a romp if a public figure is involved?

    The return to the gym was emotional tonight. Was very dead which is good yet there was still one or two tings about, they're being sensible and not following that beyond ridicule 'masks between exercising' bollocks so can leave yours in your locker and although all the rules aren't conducive to a relaxing experience at the sauna/steam rooms, its absolutely miles better than nothing.
