SARS CoV-2 coronavirus / Covid-19 (No tin foil hat silliness please)

[Ajr]

Greatest vaccination program in our history

*Pride*

They have to make everything they do sound amazing and historic dont they

 

[Rado_N]

He’s not given an end-date for the lockdown, has he?!

Sounds like “when we’ve vaccinated people and given time for the inoculation period”

 

[DavidDeSchmikes]

Johnson expects top 4 priority groups to have had a first jab by mid February ‘if things go well, with fair wind in our sails’

 

[RoadTrip]

How he just tried to explain away opening schools for one day is hilariously bad

With his stupid smirk

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Sounds like “when we’ve vaccinated people and given time for the inoculation period”

Next year then?

 

[RedTiger]

So all schools closed tomorrow?

 

[Ajr]

With his stupid smirk

He knew that was bs

 

[RoadTrip]

Had to get a dig in against the EU
This is just one big joke to him. Disgusting man

Is that last bit a Ted Heath reference.

 

[Rado_N]

He just said “hopefully” by end of February half term but that seems very optimistic.

Yeah, looks like the plan is to review again end of February. It’s needed to give the vaccine roll out a chance - now they just need to ensure the roll-out doesn’t get fecked up.

 

[Rado_N]

Wanker

Should have been done weeks if not months ago.

 

[Carolina Red]

Good luck man!

The Carolina's are a COVID mess right now it seems.

Thank you dude. And yes they are. Our state superintendent of education announced today that she has tested positive for it... 1 day after doing an interview pushing for all schools to be open for 100% capacity, 5 days per week.

 

[Rado_N]

Still managed to throw it all back on the public at the end too.

 

[TheGame]

How he just tried to explain away opening schools for one day is hilariously bad

Absolutely pathetic reason given.

 

[United Hobbit]

So sounds like the "safe" schools are shut until February half term?

 

[lynchie]

So keep going out to work if your employer says they don't want you working from home.

 

[TheGame]

So all schools closed tomorrow?

Yep.

 

[ha_rooney]

Should have been done weeks if not months ago.

Absolutely!! Certainly should’ve been done before Xmas & maybe things wouldn’t be as bad as they are now. Again, reactionary actions being taken.

 

[Superunknown]

The amount of notice given to primary schools is disgusting.

 

[RedTiger]

Yep.

Cheera bro

 

[TheGame]

He’s not given an end-date for the lockdown, has he?!

Up to Feb half term at least or until those 4 categories of people are vaccinated.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

They won't take the blame for messing all this up. It will always be Joe Public's fault.

 

[hp88]

Dumb fecker could have announced this last week which would have given schools and parents a bit of time to prep for this, inept duckers the lot of them.

 

[United Hobbit]

Greatest vaccination program in our history *Pride*

Aren't they pushing back the 2nd doses- what if that makes the vaccine ineffective?

 

[golden_blunder]

No good excuse? People not being able to see their loved ones if they are sick, being stranded abroad, losing their jobs or getting thrown out of their education?

I'm sorry, but there are plenty of reasons. If you can't see how doing what more successful countries in lockdown's have done then that is silly. UK never shut its borders, fine, but they never did any requirements to enter. Almost all lockdown success countries kept travel restricted, not closed. You don't enter without a PCR test, you do one at the airport, you stay at a government hotel during quarantine etc. If people who are willing to travel with all these checks (at their expense), I can guarantee you their travel is essential

The likes of Taiwan and Australia which are among the best to date numbers wide shut their borders. I sympathise with your predicament but I firmly believe anywhere that’s an island should have closed it’s borders during a proper lockdown. Instead we’ve now seen the U.K. strain moving to other countries

 

[Santos J]

So all schools closed tomorrow?

Still open to vulnerable children and children of key workers

 

[Berbasbullet]

This!

 

[Fully Fledged]

Lockdown... ah and also closing the "safe" schools...

The schools are safe now that they are empty. It was having people in them that was unsafe.

 

[ha_rooney]

It’s great Boris has a bestie in Starmer.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

did I hear right football has been stopped ?

 

[Dancfc]

Yeah, looks like the plan is to review again end of February. It’s needed to give the vaccine roll out a chance - now they just need to ensure the roll-out doesn’t get fecked up.

They said something before the brief that admission for over 80's is reducing which is hopefully early signs the vaccine is working.

 

[Pexbo]

The amount of notice given to primary schools is disgusting.

My would be mother in law who is a 60 year old diabetic primary teacher had to plan lessons for this week, go in to work today and teach 20 kids face to face who have all had relatives visiting them this weekend and now has to come up with a remote plan going forward. She absolutely hates the Tory bastards.

 

[hp88]

did I hear right football has been stopped ?

Yeah just heard that on Sky

 

[pauldyson1uk]

The amount of notice given to primary schools is disgusting.

my wife works in one, only found out 9.30pm Sunday night.

 

[Dancfc]

On another note I'm so glad I hated Boris before it became a hipster trend.

 

[Red00012]

Yeah just heard that on Sky

Is it ? Thought it isn’t been affected

 

[LilyWhiteSpur]

I heard from "scoures" in work all elite sport is being discussed for cancelation and more and likely will be.
