They had already done that in the summer, the result a few teachers at our school were laid low having picked up the virus in a pub get together. The next result, whole classes getting isolated because of contact with another teacher who had picked up the virus in a pub.
    They wont open pubs before schools.

    Im not convinced they will all open after February half term though.

    I think schools will open, too much damage being done as stated by many others.

    Be interesting to know the average age of all these deaths? Pretty sure it’s not 83 like the first wave....probably more like 60, which adds more weight to the argument that this age group, who are out working etc....are currently the most vulnerable

    Strange that it should come to light now to divert attention from Drakeford's stupid comments.

    I reckon Alun Davies took one for his party.

    I didn't realise you were such a cynic!

    A couple of concerning stories out there regarding vaccines. One sees UK figures dropping on each of the last three days and the other concerns the decision to stretch the gap between the two jabs to twelve weeks - Israel, who raced ahead of everyone else in dispensing vaccines have had a spike in cases amid comments that the vaccine was proving "less effective than we thought".

    Pfizer always said that the success rate in trials on one dose was 52%. The 'experts' extrapolated data from the trial work and concluded that it was 90% effective. The BMA in Wales maintains that there is some evidence in Pfizer's trial data to say it is effective for 6 weeks maximum at first dose and they have been in the press recently asking that front line HC workers receive their second dose by then.

    The vaccinations slowing may be something to do with England moving vaccine to the 'slower' parts of the country. Wales just needs to get a move on.

    I looked at the Cardiff and Vale data and their report on 18 January states that 24,692 have had jabs of which 2,,749 have been in non priority patients, 18,582 in Health care, social care and care home workers. When it comes to patients only 3351 over 80s have been vaccinated. Wales stats data shows 11,000 over 85 in Cardiff and Vale, plus 25,000 75-84

    Vaughan Gething says he hopes that 70% of 80 + and care home residents will be vaccinated by Friday. Some hope.

    So, 11,000 over 85’s in Cardiff area? They have a lot to do this week if they want to achieve 70%.......

    It does seem strange, that they sat on this for over a month, before releasing it to the press. Stinks of "Duckford wanting his name out of the spotlight"

    Hasn't he already said he wouldn't fulfill an entire 2nd term? A shared first ministership & coalition with Plaid is looking a decent bet

    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.

    City have had crowds for league matches smaller than that - it’s a truly shocking figure which I’m afraid we’ve all become blasé about because it almost qualifies as normal these days.

    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......

    Highest since the pandemic began. Really noticeable Johnson and Hancock keeping a low profile. Should hang their heads in shame.

    I think it was about the same time that Drakeford was telling us about seeing people in groups whilst he was riding through the park to his alotment, at a time when the country was in full lockdown and any exercise was supposed to start and end at home.
