They can’t. Think this is why they are vaccinating front line nurses etc first now. They haven’t even started on general public yet I think
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 ?
So at a Downing Street briefing, he should not answer any questions because he's not in the government.
Right.
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.
Theyve only enough staff to cover 41 of them
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.
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.
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.
This just appeared on my Twitter feed.
BREAKING: Wales is reporting the highest number of new covid cases, per capita, in the world.

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.
Would have thought the 11,000 added on in one day would have had an effect on something like that.
Creation of complex rules (with # of people, households, exceptions) varying by tiers has created a perverse system where people look for loopholes. Instead, focus on why this virus is risky, what we can all do to avoid getting it & passing it on & the underlying science.
Simply: transmits in indoor, poorly ventilated & crowded settings. Don't go into other people's homes. Keep distance, meet outside, & err on the side of caution. While older/vulnerable more at risk of dying, younger people can get seriously ill. Russian roulette with health.

Viruses evolve faster in lazy countries that let them run rampant.
One variant (B.1.1.7) in the UK has acquired 8 mutations in a gene encoding the spike protein -- and that may help it spread faster.
Excellent piece: https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2020...emains-unclear

No one is going to stop anyone acting as they wish over Christmas but people living in Manchester are being told if they've been in Wales they should self-isolate for 10 days and act as if they have the virus. Regardless of what people think about the politicians, or the ex-rugby players giving their "expertise", Wales is absolutely fecked if people continue to act like covid doesn't exist or doesn't need attention.
How come India is so low down on the chart? With a population density of 1080 per sq.mile (cf UK with 725) what are they doing differently?

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.
Here’s another politician. Sweden’s PM admits the country got its coronavirus strategy wrong: https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.b...-2020-12%3famp
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.
Probably the same all over the country.

I had a click and collect which my wife booked about 2 months so went straight in. Once in you can then pick up whatever else you want.
Newport rd branch was really quiet inside, not enough people to form a queue at the tils even. About 40 people queuing up outside at 10am, felt for them as once in people are taking ages....
Still really stupid though - a lady being interviewed said she got there 5:30, queued for ages and then walked over to Tesco’s and wandered straight in
