These guys look like they're tracking vaccine distribution numbers. It'll be a huge long slog but we've gotta start somewhere

So far, IT systems aside, this has been a good area for the Government. To have 500,000 people start the vaccination so far is impressive.

Big test when the Oxford one is approved and the numbers being done a day will jump massively. Thankfully it looks like the time spent since the summer planning for the rollout was time well spent

Yeah, not sure about that. Was described to me as a fucking Wild West by our friend who is doing it.

In what way?

In what way?

Dunno, was what she said after auditing a couple of the sites. Said compared to Stoke Hospital it was an utter shambles with rules not being followed all over.

Holland and Belgium banning flights from UK with others to follow..unsurprisingly, however WHO stating the new strain is already detected in Holland, Denmark and Australia, I'm guessing that means its already worldwide.....wim all fucked.

Stands a chance it wasn’t even derived here, could’ve been bought in from somewhere else, we just don’t know yet.

The R might be increased between 0.39-0.93

Yeah, I think our sequencing capabilities are amongst the best in the world. The key now is understanding where the strain is most prevelent in the world, and keeping it there.

Think that bird might have flown

Shits getting real, travel ban from lots of countries for UK air travel. France blocking lorry movements into France for 48 hours

Unintended consequences of hanging your late decisions on any handy excuse.

Been out for a meal tonight...because I could and this was booked ages ago for my Daughters birthday...Got to say well played to the pub (Boars Head in Nantwich) for sticking to the rules rigidly. A table had finished their meals and asked for another round of drinks but were refused as they were no longer eating. Comments from the staff taken without issue as well.
Now if everyone could follow and accept the rules in such a manner that would be ace.

If you're in Spoons (and may God have mercy on your soul) then could you order a bowl of peas off the app with every round?

Obviously either someone needs to keep eating them or they need to be deposited somewhere. I vote for Darlo's jacket pocket.

 

[Kenny]

I 2nd that vote...

 

[Trips]

Decided then! All peas in Darlos pocket first game back (if we could avoid Spoons though that would be great)

Missus going to do our weekly shop tomorrow, with the news of freight to and from France stopped, I'm expecting there will be queues and panic buying, despite the supermarkets saying their warehouses are full.

Was planning on doing ours on Tuesday but will be going in the morning before work now. I wont be panic buying and will just buy what we need, but the concern is others will panic buy.

Getting more convinced that we will be back in a national lockdown sooner rather than later, reckon it could be as early as this week

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I don't see any way we avoid that (they will probably call it Nationwide Tier 4 or something because they think people are stupid enough not to know the difference).

They've totally fucked this. Two lockdowns and we end up here!

The equivalent of blagging a two week extension for an essay at uni, then on day 14 after you've been on the piss for a fortnight thinking "shit, I know what I was meant to do". They've wasted so much time and ruined so many people's lives along the way.
