It seems things are getting worse and could get a lot worse as a new variant of the virus has emerged in the South East that may or may not be controlled by the vaccine. Breaking News on Sky News. London to go into tier 3 from Wednesday.
This ridiculous Xmas relaxation of the rules should be stopped immediately.
Well our health service has been slowly run down by successive governments for years now so it’s no surprise, we therefore must protect the NHS that they’ve completely effed up. You would think they would vaccinate teachers asap so schools remain completely open, but no, no plans too apparently.Quote:

Until then we'll have periods of drifting in and out of the highest tiers.
Matt Hancock responds by saying that it is currently being assessed in Porton Down - the UK military's research base - but the medical advice he has is that it is “highly unlikely” that the new variant will "impinge" the new vaccine and the impact of it.
I am unsure of the situation in Wales but frontline NHS staff in England will get theirs behind residents in care homes and their carers. I have a son on the front line in England and he has heard absolutely nothing about the vaccine. He gets his information from the news. The priorities are here:Quote:

5.all those 65 years of age and over
6.all individuals aged 16 years to 64 years with underlying health conditions which put them at higher risk of serious disease and mortality
7.all those 60 years of age and over
8.all those 55 years of age and over
9.all those 50 years of age and over
However the desire by the Welsh government to adopt an anything but England strategy perhaps does mean Wales will follow a different path.

NHS worker here vaccinated.
I thought it was logistics that was hindering the aim of care home residents and staff getting it first. As a result many nhs workers and the over 80s are getting it ahead of those in care homes.
Well done to the Welsh Government as English NHS workers are in the second phase.Quote:

Arsenal fans finally have something to celebrate this season. With London moving to Tier 3, none of them have to go and watch them anymore.
:hehe: - other grounds have sounded pretty good with 2,000 fans in, but you could barely hear the Arsenal fans on Sunday.Quote:

I wonder how many people are cancelling their Christmas plans even though the relaxation (currently) still exists? It's a horrible decision which has to be made but hopefully everyone is going to restrict themselves as much as possible to reduce how nasty January could be.
*the graphic shown also encourages people to self-isolate for 10 days before.Quote:
It seems THE topic of the morning on media is what to do over Christmas.Here’s a good graphic from @SimpleCovid. Maintaining physical distance, spending as much time outside and ensuring good flow of fresh air to replace the stale air indoors: https://twitter.com/hughes_eilir/sta...52276689776641
