    The scientists did know that, they said it at the time. And of course that assumes people in tier 2 are sticking to the rules. Did the pictures being shared on social media of people in London shopping and in bars & restaurants give any indication people were doing as they were told or anything...

    These vaccine manufacturers should really speak to Johnson as he seems to know more about how vaccines work than they do.

    Assuming this is going to be an increased lockdown, although I'm not sure how much more locked down I can be when we're already at 'don't leave the house' level, they really need to give details of what is going on with vaccinations. How many doses we have now and what deliveries we are...

    They had tiers 1-3, which were the second set of tiers they were keen to stress weren't the same as the original tiers 1-3, added a tier 4, now they've got back to levels 1-5 which we had to start off with but they abandoned when they couldn't keep to their own rules on what each level meant and...

    There was a detailed plan, think it was on the NHS site somewhere, for centres pretty much like that. Turn up, queue and get your jab. You had to book, seem to recall there was supposed to be a national booking system, and select a date within your priority group but that was pretty much the...

    Couple of weeks ago I'd have said no chance of football stopping. Still think its unlikely but with reports of PL players having rule breaking parties over Christmas and New Year they've made themselves a target to be made an example of.

    Also if the shortage is staff and / or facilities why is this being kept secret? It should be everyone encouraging anyone who can help to do so.

    It makes no sense, posted about this last night. Even after Pfizer said there were supply issues meant that they would only be providing half the expected doses last year that still means we should have received 5 million. Cambridge Astra were said to be delivered over 30 million last year. So...

    You can play around on this to see how long it would take. Pretty basic but then once they've programmed in the number of people in each group you're only really changing the rate of vaccination and uptake. If you put data in for someone in the lowest priority group it will be the same dates...

    If we can have effective treatment for those who aren't older or in the vulnerable category then it may become like the annual flu jab. Stats seem to show we manage around 14m of those a year, reaching more than 70% of the over 65s but it seems not so great on the vulnerable under 65s at under...

    Its all well and good saying more restrictions are on the way but don't we need to have a think about where the infections are happening. Is it people who are sticking to the current restrictions or people who are ignoring them or pushing them to the absolute limit? There was a paramedic on the...

    Don't know how he keeps a straight face coming out with stuff like that. From the start they've been behind, they implement things when the pressure gets too much and they have no other choice. Another prime example now where it looks like schools are going to be closed as local authorities...

    Johnson made a similar comment the other day about schools being safe and the issue being people in schools. Beginning to wonder if they don't realise that when people talk about schools they mean the staff and students not the bricks and mortar.

    Anyone got any idea what is going on with vaccinations? Was only a couple of months ago the government was talking about 10 millions doses of the Pfizer vaccine being received before Christmas. Pfizer then said supply chain issues meant that they would only be producing half the expected amount...

    Anyone booked a holiday yet?

    Supposed to be going to a music festival in March, postponed from last March, but there's pretty much zero chance of that happening. Been tempted by some of the flight offers, particularly the low prices to Vegas, but not sure if its worth the risk.

    That's got to be bollocks unless there's something coming out in the Sunday papers tomorrow. As ineffectual as he's been that's not a reason to quit after 9 months.
