    Covid-19: Tighter restrictions likely, Sir Patrick Vallance warns
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-55403944
    Sir Patrick Vallance also predicts there will be a spike in cases after Christmas.


    Isn't it the elected Government to make/announce decisions like this, not doctors ?
    Perhaps Vallance has decided to bring a bit of realism to the situation in contrast to Bungle who has continuously masked over any issues with a joke and wishful thinking.

    Bungle is now saying "we will have a very different in Easter..."

    Didnt he say that before last Easter?

    Perhaps he means we'll have more dead people?

      He hasn't announced a decision, he has given a qualified statement.

        He was asked in yesterday’s briefing why he keeps on over promising and under delivering. As it creates confusion and undermines public confidence. His reply was that things will look very different at Easter.

          Probably because he knows the Oxford vaccine is about to get approved and then mass roll out can begin without the logistical nightmare of the current one.

            If so, makes you wonder why he told us in March that Covid-19 will be "sent packing in 12 weeks."

            In May, that the antibody virus will be "a game changer."

            September was the month everything would be normal at Christmas due to 'Moonshot'.

            If he's reading briefing notes now, it'll make a refreshing change.

            I got him down as a narcissist who likes the sound of his own voice.

              He's right, but it might be Easter 2022.

                My point was that wasn’t the question. But tbh I’ve given up hope of receiving a considered and thoughtful reply from him during these briefings. He says his bit then tries to get through the rest unscathed by offering mostly disingenuous, irrelevant and often incoherent replies.

                    Sent packing in 12 weeks? Didn’t see that and his buddy, whitty, wouldn’t have sanctioned that. Normally the voice of doom but a realist at least so when he says something I tend to believe him. Often says covid will be around for years now but we will soon suppress it like the flu and other things we need a jab for.

                        Not surprisingly, look at the areas where we have the biggest issues. My views on Drakeford have actually completely changed, what a job, almost impossible.

                          You meant bo jo did you?I thought you meant Vallance? Bo would say anything, he’s a politician. He was almost right mind, we did kick it into touch by June, we just let it come back again. We should have closed our borders for non essential travel I think.

                            Think you’re letting him off the hook rather easy there.

                              When the UK needed a PM who was responsible, empathetic and accountable, we got a flip flopping, narcissist who resembles a Jim Davidson tribute act.
