My Son got a level 2 electrical diploma for answering quizzes for the last 5 months.

None of them were related to his diploma in any shape or form.

Never hire him.

Sounds a bright spark

Utter joke round my ends with regard masks.

The first day I saw like 90%, yesterday I saw 10% and today I was the only person wearing 1 when I went into Tesco.

The Wiza will be next on lockdown for sure.

That dangerous place should be in constant lockdown

Test I done yesterday at 11.30 came back negative at 6.15 this morning.
Can’t argue with the speed of that like.

Lots of arrogance as in it won't happen to me, similar to smoking. I know Drs who puff away like no ones business. And apart from lock down this year, middle aged men on their ridiculous priced bikes come my way every year to test their handling skills on bendy Welsh roads few end up like spreaded jam, dead. Some of them have been accountants engineers or company owner's, they would have to be to afford the bikes.

...you’ve personally been involved in the deaths of several of these men then?

That dangerous place should be in constant lockdown annihilated.

With the oxford vaccine - as phases 1 & 2 went well, what do they typically lool for in phase 3?

In the event of a second wave - could they just fast track the vaccine on the basis of it had no adverse effects on the first 2 phases for the most vulnerable?

Of course we don't want to see outcomes like this, however, in my opinions, it would help if a lot of young people became ill enough to keep them on bed for a week.

It is disturbing to think that, even though the speed of communication is now in hyperdrive and all of the information ever is at people's fingertips, humanity just can't eradicate the scourge of clueless donks

I think you can blame/thank the 'experts' who obtained their medical /scientific qualifications courtesy of Facebook and Twitter for that Idiots !

And the media which so often takes the word "investigation suggests" to mean a proven fact.

No adverse effects in short term, they need a longer time to monitor the first 2 phases in case some side effects take longer to show.. imagine the panic if all the volunteers went blind after a year, having already given the untested vaccine to the entire population. Example is to the extreme but you know what I mean, side effects that take a while to show is one of the reasons that vaccines take so long to develop.. the last rushed vaccine caused narcolepsy in some people.
