The missus’ grandad had his letter sent to the wrong address (not one he’s ever loved at either) in Scotland also. Still hasn’t had a letter yet, 75 yo

Can’t he call 119 or whatever it is?

D’you know, I never knew of the link between Serco and the Tories until reading that and seeing the surname.

Rule of thumb, if a large contract was given out during the pandemic, the company involved has connection to the tories.

FTFY. This is literally their reason for existing, it didn’t start with the pandemic, they just couldn’t be arsed to hide it as much.

Go and have a look how much stock in private healthcare all those Tories with very strong opinions on how the NHS should be funded have.

He hasn't had the letter, so no.

 

[shmmeee]

He hasn't had the letter, so no.

Just to be clear, he’s under 65 and wasn’t asked to shield earlier?

 

[Liquid Gold]

He hasn't had the letter, so no.

You don’t need the letter, any of the things apply so over 65 is fine.

Didn’t notice you say Scotland though as Philsoraptor mentioned.

Is there a Scottish alternative?

Unusually balanced from the BBC:

Covid: Why goal is to live with the virus - not fight it - BBC News

 

[shmmeee]

He's 75

Missed he was in Scotland, my bad. From what they were saying for both Eng and Scot on the radio earlier there should be a way to let them know if you think you’ve been missed. They were saying they can ask to be done at a GP as well but not sure if that’s just England.

He initially called when his wife (74) had received the letter and was told he had to wait for the letter. Then he rang up those higher up who admitted they had sent the letter to the wrong address, and to wait for one to be sent to the correct place. Don't know what the latest with him is but last we heard he still hadn't been able to make an appointment.

Sounds like a mess. Hope he gets it sorted.

I won't forget boris the liar that further to your dithering incompetence 47,000 people have died since Christmas.

Thinks seem to be moving in the right direction.

Really positive numbers today

This seems to explain what we were discussing yesterday around perceived priority changes

1.7million more people will be told to shield in major change in England

The number of people told to shield in England will almost double thanks to a computer model - as the time period for shielding is extended by a month to March 31

TORY MPs have written to the PM demanding a swift end to lockdown. Here weird backbencher Denys Finch Hatton explains how we should be throwing caution to the wind.

Saw something that said they’d told local areas to exercise judgement and bring in people not included on the list that they thought were vulnerable, but nowhere did so this expansion was to rectify that a bit.

I'd love to know whether I had it as far back as June 2019 .

I would like to know about October 1983 too.

To answer my own Q about vaccine plans, just came across this. Frustrating that we can’t see supply rates but understand why.

Reading that right do they intend to open up jabs to all adults in April?

Seems that way

According to some papers Boris is waiting for the daily cases to fall below 1000 before easing restrictions.

 

[Skybluefaz]

According to some papers Boris is waiting for the daily cases to fall below 1000 before easing restrictions.

Seems a sensibly low number. Not sure how it aligns with epidemiologist/sage advice.

 

[RedSalmon]

According to some papers Boris is waiting for the daily cases to fall below 1000 before easing restrictions.

Last week Jeremy Hunt suggested this would be the figure they would aim for before lifting restrictions. Maybe it's the usual 'drip drip' way of getting information out there to see how the public respond and get everyone used to the idea.

 

[fernandopartridge]

The 1k cases per day seems a bit arbitrary, I am all for not unlocking sooner than is safe, but I think you could probably tolerate a higher number of cases per day, particularly if, as more and more people are vaccinated, cases are milder.
