    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).

    I don't think it will happen. By the time they reach people in their 40's the deaths will have long fucked off and the urgency will dry up. We'll be vaccinating the vulnerable and those that are 50+ from next Autumn.

    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 wouldn't say no effect, but it stands to reason the impact would have been diminished as the diseases simply isn't serious enough to the vast majority of people for them to follow the rules for this long.

    Seems Wales are doing pretty badly at the moment. Over 70% of the Covid cases in Chester Hospital are Welsh, apparently.

    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.

    60% is for herd immunity to make a difference to the spread of the virus. Obviously vaccinating the vulnerable first deals with the deaths alot quicker than that, but it will still be in circulation.

    It's a bit of a concern that schools will be going back full time just a week after the Christmas FREE FOR ALL.

    I'm all for keeping them open, but delaying the restart until the 11th seems a sensible option.

    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'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.

    Flintshire's cases continue to rise tbh and the Maelor is hectic. Chester is our next nearest hospital being right on the border so I imagine it's the same aye.

    I'm off for the rest of the year now.

    We've never had to wear masks outside in the first place (I actually don't mind it in the shops, bit of a convert, and keeps your face warm). I have decent cotton masks though, christ knows how the whole of Asia puts up with those shitty paper ones.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Presumably they were both masked up and the dr were gloves? Fingers crossed.

    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.
