Coronavirus update - NO MORE RESTRICTIONS

Re: Coronavirus update

1800 dead today.
Good day to bury bad news and nothing from the leader of our United Kingdom. He is responsible for not locking down earlier in March and not closing borders for almost a year. Many thousands could have been saved if he had acted as he should.

Imagine we had closed the borders in March.....look at NZ....Oz, China etc.....
That documentary on itv was interesting last night, sometimes forget how naive we all were a year ago. It focused on Taiwan a bit, saying they had been preparing for such an event for 20 years since SARS. Just 7 deaths there I think they said. Interesting also that initially Chinese doctors in Wuhan were contacting other doctors in other Asian countries about this new virus, then the Chinese authorities clamped down and denied it was transmissible between humans. Shutting it all down right there could have saved the world this event. Even now, they try and deny......

Away from all of the talk about managers, a reason why the vaccine needs to be delivered as quickly as possible.

Yesterdays press conference with Johnson and professors doom and gloom was really depressing.

Yes if anyone thinks they are going abroad this summer, forget it, vaccine or no vaccine. New variants of covid will no doubt mean no overseas travel for years I reckon. Hope you all got your fill when times were good.....on the flip side Pembrokeshire is nice in June til September ....

I think years maybe a bit negative. I hope so at least.

Maybe, but until we get a high proportion vaccinated then the virus will continue to change. Unless certain countries are clear of it or the same as the UK in terms of the virus, I can’t see it being allowed.....look at South Africa already for an ie

Ministers are at the centre of an explosive row over their failure to protect workers from Covid-19 as the Observer reveals the largest workplace outbreak of the virus has taken place at a top government organisation.

More than 500 cases have been recorded at the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency’s offices in Swansea, where employees claim people with symptoms were encouraged to return to work while vulnerable workers have had requests to work from home turned down.

The revelation places the transport secretary, Grant Shapps, under pressure to explain how such an outbreak could have happened in an agency where the strictest workplace rules are supposed to apply.

A complaint received by Public Health Wales’s outbreak control team claims DVLA workers were asked to turn off their test-and-trace apps “so that their phones do not ping”.

It also says absences relating to Covid have been counted against workers’ sick leave, with anything over 10 days triggering a warning.

Re: Coronavirus update

Yet to hear a good argument for teachers being prioritised for vaccine regardless of age/vulnerability. We are all living in an echo chamber right now though, what am I missing?
