Strikes me the major news of the day just isn't being highlighted by the media.
The PM has said there will be no zero covid strategy, the disease will be endemic and we will need to live with as we do with flu.
This is a massive development. And very welcome imho. We can finally put out to grass any ideas about keeping lockdown going for months and months in a pointless attempt to get case numbers down towards zero.
Seems to me that this is much more important development than the precise date on which the pub gardens will be open.9 -

Fire up the Quattro....just don't think about getting it out of 1st gear for a while.0

The way the survey is worded tends to steer only those who think it is too loose to ‘oppose’. I am not convinced that someone who supports reopening but thinks it should be done much sooner would choose to ‘oppose’ the announcement. So it’s not a helpful survey other than identifying the 5-15% who would have us locked down forever. In the subsequent Q there are 16% who think it is too slow.1

Not just not having zero covid but not panicking if cases are going up rather than down. That is a humongous development today - and very welcome too.1 -

Yes, the complete rejection of zero COVID and endorsement of that rejection by Whitty and Vallance was definitely a huge positive from my personal perspective. I fully expected Boris to link unlockdown to case numbers or the R value staying below 1, that he hasn't and has made one of the key tests the hospitalisation rate is very reassuring and listening to Whitty explain that 650k people die every year in the country, we can't make an exception for COVID once it is no longer terminal for the NHS was also something that made a lot of sense.rottenborough said:FPT:

Interesting. Thanks. I was wondering this evening whether some vaccination centres will need to be made semi-permanent seeing as we will need to do millions of adults every autumn/early winter from now on by looks of it.Foxy said:

That Israeli data that found the chances of being infected near doubles in the eight days after vaccination. Dr Campbell considered but discounted the possibility that the vaccine weakened the immune system, and hence concluded it must be people rushing out to meet others as soon as they’ve been done.
A third possibility however is that the actual process of going for the vaccination, lining up with others and going indoors into a public space for the injection, is inherently risky?3 -

I also think Boris was smart to not close the door on domestic use of the vaccine passport system. I can see a scenario where unsocially distanced indoor places like clubs or gigs will insist on either having one or arriving early to take a rapid test at your own cost. That gives people the option of not using the vaccine passport should they take exception to it but also makes it easy for those of us who would use it with no issues and don't want to do nasal swabs to go a gig.2

I would have thought that pharmacists and doctors offices would be sufficient for more routinized vaccination programmes going forwards, when not everyone needs to be vaccinated within as short a period as possible but the burden can be spread over the year, or at worst the flu/cold/corona season.rottenborough said:

Boris also seemed fully on top of the material. Saying it for the third time probably helped but there is also the sense he is finally engaging the first class brain the Boris-boosters always assured us was there. There was a brief coughing fit towards the end but otherwise he did indeed seem on top of things. Only two flags though. It will be interesting to watch PMQs on Wednesday.Flatlander said:

Depends I would have thought whether it is just the, say, over 60 year olds to be done each winter like flu. if all adults then that is a huge task each autumn.TimT said:

I wouldn't have thought so from the TV pictures. A lot of vaccination being done in sports halls and relatively voluminous spaces, short dwell times in any one place, hefty distancing. Even if your injector is sitting in the same seat all day (and they ought to swap around), you will only be in the zone of his or her miasma for a minute or two.IanB2 said:That Israeli data that found the chances of being infected near doubles in the eight days after vaccination.

The volume and lack of dwell reminds me of supermarket shopping, which I tend to feel is at the lower risk end for the use cases we have given to masks.0 -

Helpful for the number crunchers from Sturgeon. Multiplication by 12 should suffice for a UK estimate.
I've got current supply 4 million ahead of delivered, which is a solid week of 575k/day (Assuming 5% wastage) but better figures may arrive tommorow.0 -
Interesting that a majority of Tory voters and a plurality of Labour voters think the government has got the pace of reopening about right. Though more Tory voters think the government is going too slow than too fast and more Labour voters think the government is going too fast than too slow

I was wondering this. Couldn’t they just allow take away pints, then people can drink them in the beer garden?JohnLilburne said:
I think the temptation might be to open pub gardens 10 days earlier, for Easter, after all you will be able to meet in private and public outdoor spaces under the same rule of 6/two households rule. Does it matter that you do it in a pub garden rather than your own?bigjohnowls said:I think the plan and timetable for exit from lockdown is extremely sensible. Will they be able to resist the temptation of opening pubs 14 days earlier than planned though?
IE just before polling day.
We will see. For now 10/10 from me.0 -

Keeping the borders closed forever isn't a viable strategy even for places like New Zealand. Has Jacinda acknowledged this publicly yet?rottenborough said:FPT:
Strikes me the major news of the day just isn't being highlighted by the media.
The PM has said there will be no zero covid strategy, the disease will be endemic and we will need to live with as we do with flu.
This is a massive development. And very welcome imho. We can finally put out to grass any ideas about keeping lockdown going for months and months in a pointless attempt to get case numbers down towards zero.
Seems to me that this is much more important development than the precise date on which the pub gardens will be open.

150,000 pensioners have mysteriously disappeared in one Chinese city, if you look at the pension payments system. (Careless to put those figures in the public domain). The official death toll in the whole of China remains 4,636 as it was in April last year.Philip_Thompson said:

A third possibility however is that the actual process of going for the vaccination, lining up with others and going indoors into a public space for the injection, is inherently risky?0 -
