Professor Jonathan Van-Tam has claimed it's 'perfectly possible' the UK will be giving coronavirus vaccines to children by the end of the year.
Get those little plague spreaders jabbed....
Vaccinations for children have carried on during lockdown. We had the Y9s in (one at a time) a few weeks ago to get which ever jab they were due under normal circumstances.
Yep my son had his Yr 9 jabs a couple of weeks ago. All very efficient and quickly (and safely) done at the school. In and out in a few minutes.
He's not actually begging for a call. He's just grandstanding that Biden hasn't called, and hammering the point home that the Democrat party isn't Israel's friend.
Biden is going to be President of the United States of America for the next four years whether they like it or not.
Is grandstanding and hammering the point home that the Democrat Party isn't Israel's friend really in Israel's best interests?
There's a reason people who were happy to point and laugh at Trump before he was elected like Boris only did so behind his back after he was elected, until Biden was elected as his successor. Discretion is the better part of valour afterall.

I'm beginning to think we do vaccinations pretty well as a country. One of the big advantages of the NHS.
Did I read that in some countries they were insisting that it had to be a doctor doing it, or was that just my imagination (which is entirely possible)?

On the subject of Israel, are there any numbers on how their neighbours are doing, particularly the Palestinians? Just as we have had the debate here in the UK about what to do to help others after we are jabbed up, I would hope a similar debate is going on in Israel. It could make a small but significant difference to perceptions in the Middle East.
Yep. There has been literally liquidity flight, along with the dependent firms and that is gone. Until we negotiate something different. But London is always good at innovation so we shall see I'm sure some interesting products.
On the previous thread I mentioned Lord Mandelson's webinar organised by DLA Piper yesterday. He covered the point about regulation of financial services, and was quite nuanced about it. He said that on balance he agreed with the government that a financial centre as important as ours should not be a 'rule-taker' from the EU, and that this would inevitably lead to some loss of EU-sourced business, but he was moderately positive on the possibility of this being compensated for by new opportunities (in Fintech etc). However, this would depend on us getting the regulatory regime right; we needed to be flexible and fast-moving, but should be very careful not to trash the UK's reputation by slapdash regulation. He was also concerned about other things the government is doing which might discourage financial organisations and small, entrepreneurial companies from setting up here.
In other words, there are opportunities in our new non-EU status, but he was concerned that the government wasn't taking a sufficiently joined-up approach to make the most of them.
Agree with Mandelson on financial services regulation. The key thing is compliance, not regulation. You are only compliant for a territory if the regulator in that territory says you are. Regulators are reluctant to accredit operators in other jurisdictions they have no control over. Apart from wanting to keep the business for themselves, the risk is too high. Also people and processes are compliant or non compliant; brass plates don't cut it. Compliance applies to clients as much as providers. The large-volume highly-regulated cross-border transactional business is gone, or going I think. The UK is best focusing on less-regulated activity that draws on expertise it has already built up.

Well, you did read them... which is a compliment.
I thought.... ahem... "interest in details" were one of the defining characteristics of PB?
The sound quality of this press conference via Sky News is something akin to a local village fete....just waiting for him to announce the raffle winner before passing over for the welly throwing competition.
There is a rather sinister and nauseating attitude among many PBers that journalists ought to refrain from asking the questions that are exercising the minds of the public.
I can tell you that – outside the PB bubble – millions of families are trying to plan holidays, weddings and other trips – and want to see a clear route out of this.
The idea that the press shouldn't ask these questions regularly or hold the government's hands to the fire over timetable fully deserves the following billing:
Only on PB
If the same questions are asked over and over again to the exclusion of other points then I dont see why that cannot be criticised. Are journalists obliged to ask only the things that exercise people, even if asked very recently and other matters might hold the government to account more? Are people not permitted to object to what may or may not be an inane question?
People may be a bit harsh on the journalists, perhaps, but I think the implication they cannot be criticised for their choices is a bit bizarre, particularly when it's often people who would prefer questions which would not paint the government in a fine light so it's not about giving the gov an easy ride.
There is a big difference between questions where we would all like the answer but we know that no-one knows the answer or the timetable for an answer (like foreign holidays in 2021) and questions where we know perfectly well there is an answer and they don't want to tell us.

@CarlottaVance et al: Who is this David Keating you keep retweeting and why do you do it?
The EU's chief apologist on twitter it seems.
But why? If Angela Merkel or Ursula Von Der Leyen is doing the tweeting, maybe fair enough. I don't keep retweeting one of the stupider apologists for Brexit...
Why not? It's quite amusing the lengths he goes to to claim the EU is doing just as well as the UK.

Really? This guy is literally nobody ...
You could say that for a huge number of tweets posted here. I'm not sure why you are so agitated by this particular one?
The leading indicator - the daily reported case rate - has dropped to the level of around 4 months ago in early October. Then cases were rising rapidly, now they're falling rapidly. And we're conducting roughly 2.5 times the number of tests than we did then, so there will be more false positives in the latest figures, as well as more true positives being revealed just due to the volume of testing.
The death rate by actual date of death is now well below the peak of last Spring and also falling at a much faster rate.
If this positive trend continues unchanged for much longer, I don't think the Government will be able to maintain the line that things should stay exactly as they are for at least another month.
Why not be honest about the "can I book a holiday?" question. The answer is, depends on how risk averse you are. You can if you like, but only if you are happy to have it indefinitely deferred or lose your money.

The biggest advantage might well not be the NHS as such, but that we have had a massive and sustained campaign on vaccinations over many years.
I believe that we have, compared to the world at large, a high take up rate of the various vaccinations for common illnesses.

Yup. That is Johnson's problem now.
Looks like Sturgeon and Drakeford were right on schools.
It's a dumb question. Who on earth wants to go on a foreign holiday in the middle of a global pandemic?
I just find it odd that criticising them for asking certain questions is deemed wrong, therefore essentially meaning no one should ever critique a journalists performance.
No more criticising Peston, Bolton, Cole, any of them.
Why not be honest about the "can I book a holiday?" question. The answer is, depends on how risk averse you are. You can if you like, but only if you are happy to have it indefinitely deferred or lose your money.
Yeah - I have booked one in UK (full option to defer if needed and I can cancel with no penalty up to a couple of weeks before we go)
plus Cruise out of the States for 2022 - again very customer friendly terms for deferral / cancellation
Even the UK break I have booked is for September to ensure plenty of vaccine roll out first
In theory if R stays the same, it should be a half-life decay (so curving, rather than straight line). UK cases overall at the moment look more like a linear, which implies R may be decreasing over time (vaccine effect, esp in NHS, more of us have had Covid). I'd also be wary of lumpy data (UK is bigger numbers, so smoother). Lets see in 2-3 weeks.
It's a dumb question. Who on earth wants to go on a foreign holiday in the middle of a global pandemic?
A large fraction of the population, I would imagine - hence the endless questions.
Are you sure, or is it just the journalists asking them?
And in any case journalists dont simply ask a question as the public are interested. They never have - they will ask very good and bad questions despite the publics apathy or interest. It's a ridiculous suggestion.

There's a date in the diary for schools now: 08 March.
For most normal people once there's a date in the diary people can and will plan for that date - there won't be much pressure whatsoever to change the date once the date is in the diary because people will be setting their plans for that date. Schools will be putting plans in place for that date already.
If there was no date then of course people would be wanting something said, but that ship has sailed now. There's a date - its a few weeks off, but people have it in their diary and will work towards that. Chopping and changing that now isn't going to happen. It would really mess schools around to change it now.

I'm not agitated. Baffled why people think it's so interesting that this guy needs to be retweeted dozens of times in one thread. Scott for example posts loads of tweets that he thinks are interesting or which he approves of. You may or may not agree with him, but at least he has something to say. Also he tweets from lots of sources, not just the same one each time. But this Keating man, a complete nonentity, gets multiply tweeted for only one reason - to suggest he's an idiot. Anyway, enough of this...

I don't think anyone is only posting Keating either, so I'm not sure why you are making that comparison.
It will be quite close, but I think the government should beat the target by approx 300k, assuming no more acceleration. It might reach 15 million by Sunday without requiring the final counting day on Monday.
If it has a bumper weekend, it could smash the target.
Having spoken to staff at the vaccine site in Bath, I now believe we are trying hard to ensure NO-ONE in categories 1-4 has not had the chance of a jab by the 15th, to prevent the inevitable wankers in the media proclaiming Government lies about vaccination, when they claim to have done all in 1-4. (Awful sentence construction...). They could clearly have done many more in Bath this week, but I think they are holding back from calling say over 65 or over 60s up until the 1-4 are complete.

Looks as if you can relax now after today's good news on AZN
I'm feeling more positive again about the vaccines, and to be honest I over-reacted when the bad news from South Africa came out. I think a lot of us are getting worn down by this, some at a faster rate than others. There have also been a lot of genuine setbacks throughout this rotten experience, and I keep expecting more to roll along.
On which topic - I remain concerned about the borders. No amount of good work here will help if we import a vaccine-evading variant and it runs amok.

That would be a little disappointing. More death and disease would be prevented by getting on with some of groups 5-6 now, but if you're right then politics is causing them to do the suboptimal thing. At least it's not a huge difference and hopefully they will be increasing the rate soon.
On a personal note, one (not very close) member of my family is now on a ventilator, and being considered for ECMO. He's only 40, wife and two kids.

I am pleased as you did seem very stressed but that is understandable
As far as our borders are concerned the predicted reduction to just 1,000 daily arrivals across the UK, with pre flight tests plus 2 test over 8 days, should be manageable

Re: Wales and Scotland - AIUI they have a smaller proportion of the population infected than England and Northern Ireland, so it's not wholly surprising if they're moving sooner in accordance with local circumstances.
I just hope that nobody jumps the gun and lets all the kids back too quickly. Young'uns first, then watch what (if any) effect that has on the Plague, hopefully.

ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS.
This is a major issue that is exercising the mind of much of the public, and with good reason.
PBers has a hugely disproportion faction that aren't bothered about getting away.
