The risk in miniscule isn't it to under 18's?

That’s not what I asked. Perhaps look at this once from a personal level rather than a statistical.

Not sure if it was high risk or moderate risk but of those groups was described as anyone who is told to get a flu jab.

Flu jab people are classed as Clinically Vulnerable.

Extremely Clinically Vulnerable are the ones who were asked to shield.

Would be too straightforward if they used the same terminology for this.

The logic of the vaccination programme should be similar to that for the flu vaccination, children up to the age of 11 are given a free flu jab due the government recognising them as a key transmission route of flu. Somehow that premise doesn't exist for Corona.

Haven't had one of these for a couple of days.
The UK government has awarded a new £347m Covid-19 testing contract to Randox, the Tory-linked private healthcare company whose testing kits had to be recalled over the summer because of concerns about contamination.

The deal is a six-month extension of an existing contract and was agreed without other companies being invited to bid. It means the health secretary, Matt Hancock, has now approved transfers of nearly half a billion pounds in taxpayer funds to the Northern Ireland-based company since the pandemic began.

Disclosed in a filing on a European contracts website, the award has prompted concerns about “cronyism” and calls for an independent inquiry into the £12bn spent so far on attempting to control the pandemic through the test-and-trace system.

Critics raised further concerns about a separate revelation that the Conservative MP Owen Paterson, who is paid £100,000 a year to act as a consultant for Randox, was party to a call between the company and James Bethell, the health minister responsible for coronavirus testing supplies.

Flicked on the news to see what's going on in the election. Caught footage of huge queues of people at Primark as its going to be closed for a few weeks. What the hell is the matter with people? Same with people trying to cram in as many nights out before lockdown kicks in. Complete idiots.

News also mentioned GPs have been told to prepare to start vaccinations in December.

They were going to be culled for profit anyway. Hopefully this is a big nail in the coffin for the animal fur trade. It’s not surprising that it’s spread to other species and mutated, it’s a zoonotic virus and that’s how it started. We need to close doorways to our close proximity with wild animals and ending the unnecessary fur trade would be a good starting point.

Thankfully I've still got a job and I'm back at work. But since his original announcement that the furlough scheme would end and be replaced with the job retention scheme we've been through two rounds of redundancies in quick succession. Lost about half our front line staff, all viable jobs when things are back to normal.

Suspect some of those redundancies were cost saving rather than lack of work as for those left the workload has increased massively and new restrictions have come in around taking leave as we can't cope with people being off. We're in the 'you're lucky to have a job' phase again.

Ohhhh companies can rehire people they have already made redundant.

Like that is going to happen also if you got one what would happen to your redundancy payment?

Also this press conference is another fucking car crash from both Boris and Simon Stevens

I’m sure these companies will wriggle out of rehiring people somehow.
