    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    I don’t think anyone’s keeping their fingers crossed for it Nick. This is a new shitstorm for everyone to varying degrees I do agree about the need for government and media to be transparent and factual though. Like when hospitalisations were mentioned yesterday’s between 18-85 years...

    Rightly there won’t be much sympathy for Johnson but at his age, nearly dying from Covid, two newborns and a never ending pandemic. Rather him than me !

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I think that’s a bit unfair Wingy. JCVI originally suggested 6 month gap so call up gradual. There are also constraints around vaccines administration; GPs have been clearing backlog of lockdown cases in recent months, volunteers may not have been available, 15 mins wait post Pfizer jabs (mean...

    They’re struggling to get lateral flow tests out to people due to the high demand....guessing it’s all the anti vax ravers (BSB ?!) stocking up

    Its a soundbite. I don’t mind ambitious targets though, keeps people focussed and something to aim for. if they can get anywhere around 750k they’ll be doing well and we’ll have around 12-13m boostered by end of year.(taking into account hols)

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Nor me but either way programme will be ramped up and if hospitalisations can stay under control and no further restrictions are necessary (both big IFs !) it will be political points for government, or that’s what Johnson will be praying for…whether it was due to boosters or fact Omicron is...

    Is that a euphemism?!

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    The statement is not really going to distract for long though. Any other party info will come out in coming days and get plenty of coverage. Johnson will be praying for a successful increased Booster roll out and no further restrictions to at least salvage/secure some political goodwill More...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I do think it was at least partially political as PVA suggested earlier, however, there’s no harm reiterating the message...some people don’t appear to be able to make decisions for themselves unless there’s a tv briefing/statement to tell them what to do. Hopefully this will be the kick up the...

    Thats what I thought when I saw 500k+ boosters administered yesterday. I’d imagine it will be that and re-enforcing need for people to get jabbed/boostered Needs to align himself to positive news

    530k boosters yesterday. Let’s hope we can keep that pace up this week

    Surely it should be as simple as can she do her job as effectively at home. If yes, job done. Hope they see sense

    Yeah, I said something similar the other day. I’d heard 4th but 🤷‍♂️. Feels like jumping the gun and hope it’s just a precautionary plan. For me it should depend on hospitalisations over next two weeks in conjunction with SA data Rather that than before NYE though, at least it gives hospitality...

    Yeah, of course people with Omicron will unfortunately be hospitalised and die. I can’t believe people are quoting low/zero figures when the variant has only just started spreading. What we all need to know and hope the government/scientific advisors are honest about is; were these people...

    Kelly

    I think the bigger issue is when Kelly and Sheaf are playing together. Both are useful players in their own right but ideally need someone with the legs of Hamer around them

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Agree with this unless maybe it’s a ‘go now or we will make the decision for you’ and it’s done under health/family reasons. This whole situation has snowballed from what could’ve been a ‘ill look into this’ and returning to say there were team gatherings after work with colleagues who already...
