I mean if your only comeback is that I’m being pedantic while you’re arguing the toss about snake bite newspaper headlines on a football forum, I don’t really know what to say.

Arguing the toss? lol

I haven't changed what I've said. Of anything I am repeating myself lol

I am still proper fuming they are closing the gym again. Was about the only thing to look forward to in the evening after work.

Police Scotland have been told to break them up; the coppers down here seem to me to be on an implict message to ignore them or confront them only when they get to mass gatherings. And what do the behaviour of people throwing parties have to do with the way that the Scottish Government have conducted the crisis?

Sturgeon has very good approval ratings on that in Scotland.

Well a couple of things immediately jump out of that :

It would seem that the English aren`t the only " scallies ", when it comes to breaking the rules, as you`re so fond of shouting about.

Also, in the majority of responsible licensed premises, you can by and large control peoples behaviour through regulations and the fear of being shut down if they break them. As we`re seeing, you can`t control peoples behaviour in their own homes.

Sturgeon is no saint by the way, as she and others in the SNP are knee deep in the Alex Salmond scandal.

England has more scallies. That was the point.

Sturgeon has done well to avoid being mired in the Salmon case. She handled that well.

Looks like lawsuits have begun, I can see more of this happening around the world

Coronavirus: Government sued over care home deaths 'disgrace'

Dr Cathy Gardner is taking legal action after her father died of probable Covid-19 in April.

www.bbc.co.uk

Virologist whose dad, 88, died of Covid in a care home sues Government

A High Court judge today ruled in favour of Dr Cathy Gardner and Fay Harris, who are taking action against Matt Hancock , the NHS and Public Health England for their handling of the crisis.

Exclusive: NHS planning to start covid vaccination of under 50s by end of January

The NHS' current plan for the covid vaccine rollout - dependent on the arrival of supplies - would see the whole adult population able to begin receiving it before the end of January, according to leaked documents seen by HSJ.

www.hsj.co.uk

Huge news. That would be rapid if it happens.

As Tubey's post above

According to NHS draft plans those in their 70's and 80's (and older) as well as NHS and care home residents and staff START to be offered vaccinations before Christmas this will take us into January when those over 50 and vulnerable younger people will be offered them. It's envisaged all other adults 18-50 should START to be offered them by the end of that month and completion before end of April 2021.

All very much dependant on clearance being obtained for the vaccines under development.

Announcement may even come soon although perhaps more likely when the licences have been granted. May be worth looking to see if any journos mention it at the 5pm briefing.

If ever there was a Freudian slip :

 

[ForeverBlue92]

No. Need a two week break between them.

Well, that was the case last week.

edit. That said, reckon the pharmacist/GP is a better person to ask. Y'know.
