COVID- 19
Re: COVID- 19
That said, I welcome the rough outline of dates - it will allow me to plan some things for my business around June / July - even if those dates could change as Die Trying pointed out.
BJ's measures AND language were praised by Keir Starmer in the commons today - of course it's not good enough for the 3 amigos

And no - I'm not a BJ supporter and won't vote for him (that's their standard response.)

No chance. Harper just jumped on a bandwagon. CRG went for dates not Science.

Re: COVID- 19
As an aside, there really is something endemic on this forum with puerile name calling that some posters default to when their views are challenged which doesn't reflect particularly well on them, in my opinion. I see similar traits in the tabloid media and Trump.
Re: COVID- 19
I certainly think your comments re Trump are appropriate - the legacy of that administration looms large on politics.
If the name calling remark is aimed at me - then it was certainly meant to be jovial not puerile.

1. The vaccine deployment programme continues successfully.
2. Evidence shows vaccines are sufficiently effective in reducing hospitalisations and
deaths in those vaccinated.
3. Infection rates do not risk a surge in hospitalisations which would put
unsustainable pressure on the NHS.
4. Our assessment of the risks is not fundamentally changed by new Variants of
Concern.
But these are all analogue terms, what is meant by 'successfully', 'sufficiently', 'risk a surge' and 'fundamentally changed'.
Re: COVID- 19
Unsure how anyone can be moaning one way or the other ?? Greater detail will now be released.
The PM and Govt ?? Damned by those who can only see a political angle rather than the human side.
This is good news for us ALL.

Anticipated and planned for supply reductions apparently according to Matt Hancock in an interview. Numbers are expected to rise considerably in March. As somebody in group 9, I hope they do.
