Me and the ex have just done that. She wasn’t a key worker before but is now and I have been from day one. So that swayed the decision slightly as where would he go when we are both working if he wasn’t at school? But I was dead against him going in last time, I discussed it on here. But again, she was furloughed so he had somewhere to be.

Interesting one now for Scotland!
Having gone 19 points behind Rangers, the Celtic squad are now basking in Dubai. Mrs Crankie has banned all travel into and out of Scotland, Will they be stranded over there or have to isolate for 14 days when they return. Let's see who the "rules" apply to.

Understandable if they decide to postpone the football again soon, but watching Cov once or twice a week has been one of the few things keeping me sane!
Being 1-0 up with 10 minutes to go aside...

I think there will be massive fluctuations around the country. Our vulnerable/key worker provision identified 140 kids whose parents told us in early December they'd access the provision. By the end of today it has dropped to under 50 - which in truth was more than in March.
Fear of the new strain, more people being able to WFH - a combination of those and other factors (such as what Boris has to say at 8) will no doubt change the numbers again.

Think they covered the same story on BBC 6 o’clock news. Like you say, heartbreaking.

Leave them there, tell them to apply to join the Dubai football league. Good riddance.

Piers Morgan being found out for going on holiday when in Tier 4. His son fucks off to Tier 2 to stay when he's in Tier 4.

What a c**t. Still he keeps preaching after banging on and on for months about MPs and people lap it up.

Which is why you didn't need to be a scientist to know that tier 2 there was insane.

These vaccine manufacturers should really speak to Johnson as he seems to know more about how vaccines work than they do.
BBC said:
Vaccine manufacturers BioNTech and Pfizer have warned there is no evidence that their injection will offer protection against developing Covid-19 if the second dose is given later than was tested during clinical trials.

“The safety and efficacy of the vaccine has not been evaluated on different dosing schedules," the companies said in a statement on Monday. “There is no data to demonstrate that protection after the first dose is sustained after 21 days.”

The two jabs are designed to be given three weeks apart, with full immunity only developing after the second dose.

The scientists did know that, they said it at the time.
Professor Whitty also warned that only the harshest tier 3 regime would cut infections, with tier 2 only strong enough to “hold the line”.

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 was being done when they weren't?

I see we’re back to comparing ourselves to the rest of Europe again. Hopefully it doesn’t backfire again.
Setting targets again but hopefully this time it’s going to be in the hands of the NHS to deliver and not the Tories profiteering mates so the chance of vaccinating the four most vulnerable groups by the middle of February is doable.

Not much has changed between Tier 4, other than schools closing from what I can see.

Wheres the enforcement? This is going to go on longer than the Feb half term....
