Does it come from Europe? Salad will be the thing that goes....ridiculous decision by the French not to allow food haulage. Hope we don’t let anyone in for a while either like NZ did

Hope it doesnt affect vaccine supplies.
What a nightmare.
Could really do with the Oxford vaccine being approved to offer a bit of hope going forward.
The mrs was in aldi this morning doing our christmas shop and they had plenty of everything. It's always chaos the week before in the run up to christmas. Will probably be that little bit busier as people won't be eating out (and the events of the weekend) but supermarkets generally cater for this sort of craziness.
Is Cardiff market open? I was hoping to get some fish......
Oxford one is already here and comes from India anyway.
Just announced on LBC.............the Cardiff and Vale Health Board ran out of critical care beds on the weekend. Is that to do with the closure or semi closure of the Nightingale Hospital at the Millenium Stadium before the new Nightingale at the Heath is completed or something else?
From the Times’ Science Editor today: “There are two errors you can make in a pandemic. The first is to overact on the basis of uncertain evidence. The second is to wait for the best evidence, make a decision, and find out it’s too late.
It is always better to make the first mistake than the second because if this mutation really does what scientists fear, then the situation is desperate.”
Staff illness is a real problem. In one hospital near me (in South West England) there are 920 staff on the sick. That is why NHS workers should have been in the top priority for receiving the vaccine. My son is in the second tranche in England but am unsure whether the English arrangements apply in Wales.
Did they ever have enough staff and im talking throughout the UK to staff these Nightingale Hospitals. Looked a brilliant idea and got up really quickly.
With all these staff shortages how did they expect all these hospitals to be staffed if all the beds were needed.
I think they have started on care home residents and care home staff.
My daughter can get one if she goes to the centre in Splott but she doesn't want to take the chance ( given than theyds 9 staff who tested positive earlier in the month.
She will wait until they come round to the home.
Touch wood the nursing home she works with have been really strict and have had very few positive tests with either staff or visitors
Nothing to do with politics - it wouldn't matter who was 'in charge', but I heard and read this earlier :

Isn't it the elected Government to make/announce decisions like this, not doctors ?
