    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    I think Sams correct if he’s talking about Indian variant. A recent study was saying jabs were around 33% effective against Indian variant after one dose (which appears to be becoming most dominant variant here and probably will be elsewhere). However, this was as in stopping people getting it...

    yeah, I wondered if they might end up just tweaking some of the 21 June removal of restrictions ie allow certain events but maybe with a requirement for negative tests pre event

    Bit early for that. Michie loves a lockdown though. Ive got no issue with people saying that we have to see whether the chain/link between cases and hospitalisations has been broken by the vaccination programme and if it hasn’t been sufficiently, then the 21 June should be delayed....but calling...

    Pivotal Sky Blue Moments

    Yeah, never forget Williams was out of contract and was rumoured to be signing for Wolves and we ended up paying him something ridiculous like £10k a week to stay...crazy !

    yeah, sorry, wasn’t clear, I wasn’t suggesting they wanted to be first but ahead of under 70s from memory (around Feb half term)

    Think the JVCI/PHE/government called it spot on with administering by age and high risk first. The gap between doses, which was derided across the world (but a necessity due to our high rates at the time) was also the right move. There were loads of people calling for different options at the...

    Agree, what a crazy headline ! They should be highlighting that after two days of jumps case numbers might’ve settled a little. They love a bit of drama though ! As has been said before, all down to hospitalisations anyway

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I’m saying there’s stuff that is fair, valid and important and stuff that’s thrown around that’s OTT. The stuff thats unwarranted then detracts from the more serious valid issues Ps always said, the care home situation is, for me, the biggest issue and I’ll be interested to see what Hancock...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    There is no doubt Johnson has made some fuck ups but most of the public view a fair bit of what is being thrown at him as a little OTT. For example you mention about care homes when even according to cummings during his select committee hearing this week, the first thing Johnson asked about...

    I think this is correct currently, but we have to wait and see. If the average age of cases is now under 30 then unless the Indian variant is more severe for younger age groups (hopefully not) then the risk of significantly increased hospitalisations would’ve reduced greatly. By all accounts at...

    Hope we can hold on. He really kicked on second half of the season, far more end product and only really shooting to work on. Another season of progression and he could be back in the prem

    Yeah, wasn’t surprised, let’s be honest, he’s weak and he probably did lie. It will be interesting when he is interviewed by the select committee in a couple of weeks. Key questions, as many have said all along, relate to inadequate PPE supplies and releasing elderly back into care homes...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Spot on. I think Hancock is in big trouble though (rightly, as he’s well out of this depth). Watched quite a bit this morning, very interesting. If I get this right he’s said government was shit, civil service was shit, initial scientific advice was shit, Johnson was shit and should never be...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Its kind of irrelevant though Faz. It’s what the public think that matters. Whatever the Tories were saying about Cummings, the Barnard castle incident damaged the government quite a bit at the time because of public perception From memory that was peak Starmer polling time
