I obviously don’t know your situation, or how important Christmas is to you but;

COVID-19: England may face almost month-long lockdown in exchange for Christmas five-day rules relief

All parts of England would still be banned from socialising with other households indoors ahead of Christmas Eve, reports claim.

If this was true, it’s just not worth it in my opinion. Your mileage may vary.

Couldn't they delay schools going back in January by a week? That would offset the christmas period anyway.

That would be sensible. So that means it won’t happen.

Why is a lockdown Xmas being discussed when the current lockdown is until 2nd Dec?

I dont think there's much prospect of them allowing people to mix in other homes from 2 December.

It was just rumours in the media today about allowing people to mix over that weekend for Christmas, but who knows what the plan is. I doubt the government have even decided yet.

7 Million people die from air pollution each year - just sayin

I think this COVID nonsense is a farce and there will be lawsuits when people finally come to their senses

25 MARCH 2014 | GENEVA - In new estimates released today, WHO reports that in 2012 around 7 million people died - one in eight of total global deaths – as a result of air pollution exposure. This finding more than doubles previous estimates and confirms that air pollution is now the world’s largest single environmental health risk. Reducing air pollution could save millions of lives.

Do you think people with respiratory illnesses are more at risk of dying from pollution?

Hopefully the oxford vaccine will be as good as the other two, totally different approach to the two so far which were RNA based, so no guarantees that it will be as effective, but the team have always been very bullish. We should have those results shortly.
