30,000 in Cardiff uni
10,000 in Cardiff met
No doubt a few thousand in uni of South Wales live in Cardiff rather than Treforest too. Lots of students
The vaccine is nearly ready. Front line NHS staff will get their vaccine in early December providing they have had their flu jab. Two doses 28 days apart will be required. Hopefully this will prove to be the game changer, when rolled out, we have been waiting for. I would prefer the politicians to go first as guinea pigs but you can't have everything.

Daily Mail. Sorry it's not the Guardian or Daily Mirror. Link here:

Amen to that. I’ve heard this too.....
While I hope im wrong that article doesnt make me think they will be vaccinating in December.
I didn't say they will be vaccinating everyone in December. I even indicated it will only be a game changer when rolled out but I expected those on here to either ignore potentially good news or find a way of dissing it. Here's an article from the Mirror which may make it more believable even though it doesn't say anything more than the Mail article posted earlier.

I see Vaughan Gethin got a hammering on Marr this morning for the Welsh government's confusing messaging on its firebreak. Sound familiar?
Good, the power is going to their heads. People who most people hadn’t even heard of a year ago, and in another year hopefully never again....
Sadly, people should have known exactly what to expect from Johnson a year ago and yet we still got landed with him, all because he said "let's get Brexit done".
I didn't see him get a hammering, but, clearly, banning "non essential" sales without giving some sort of idea what the term entailed was going to be a problem. However, I've no problem with the logic behind the original decision in that smaller, independent shops were, effectively, being discriminated against because supermarkets had sold the goods they specialised in while they were told they had to close.
Do you think that online shops should also be banned from selling "non-essential" goods?
What's that got to do with anything? The point here is that specialist shops were forced to close first time around while supermarkets carried on selling the goods they traded in - that's discrimination and something should be done about it, the problem was that a term like "non essential goods" was never going to be precise enough to ensure this happened.
Maybe it would have been better if the type of shops that had to close were listed and supermarkets told they couldn't sell the goods these shops specialised in?
its a joke, lets be honest
My mum phoned me yesterday ( we speak most days during covid ) and was worried if her kettle breaks, she will have to boil water on the hob
Now i know she is old, hasnt a lot of think about, so someone phones her, mentioned if the kettle breaks, so she frets about it
I got on Amazon and sent her one, as a spare, thats one thing less for her to fret aboutshe will find something else today i am sure
It seemed to me that the Welsh government is receiving the same kind of criticisms that the UK government faced such as unclear messaging and now a U turn is likely. Vaughan Gethin is a good media performer but he couldn't satisfactorily answer the criticisms he is receiving with regard to supermarkets being banned from so called inessential goods. That was my point.
I know you didnt say they would be vaccinating everyone.
I hope you are right and im wrong.

A second Wales-wide lockdown in the new year is looking increasingly likely, according to a cabinet minister.
The surprise for me would be that anyone thought the current one would be enough to prevent something similar happening later in the winter.
Ive no problem with supermarkets not being allowed to sell non essential items. The idea is to avoid unnecessary contact with others so if you dont need something then dont go to the supermarket.
Its inevitable I think.
The short falls and vulnerability of welsh critical care services were well recognised in 2011 after influenza pandemic. Measures to address them were proposed including Capacity, ECMO, and infection control and PPE provision. We should not lose a second chance after Covid

Last lockdown was toilet roll.its a joke, lets be honest
My mum phoned me yesterday ( we speak most days during covid ) and was worried if her kettle breaks, she will have to boil water on the hob
Now i know she is old, hasnt a lot of think about, so someone phones her, mentioned if the kettle breaks, so she frets about it
I got on Amazon and sent her one, as a spare, thats one thing less for her to fret about
Now its panic buying kettles.
It seems that panic buying has reached boiling point already.
Trust you to spout up
People are going mad, people who I doubt read more than a book a year kicking off about their access to books being restricted. Or what if the telly breaks, or the kettle, or they need to buy clothes. It's like there was absolutely no notice whatsoever, or you can't buy literally everything online, or that it's not just for two weeks.
As with every other decision related to Covid though, there's some people who are legitimately caused problems by it. For example something I didn't think about but I heard a foster carer say is that often they get kids brought to them at very short notice with just the clothes on their back, so in that case they'd go straight to the supermarket which they can't do. I'd hope there's a proviso for extreme circumstances but I wouldn't be surprised if it ended being up at the manager's discretion.
