This is new crisis is down to government policy. It's behavioural in nature not epidemiological.

Has anyone heard anything about the Covid vaccination? At the week-end, I spoke to a guy I used to play golf and snooker with. He casually mentioned that both he and his wife had their first Covid vaccination over a week ago. He lives about 9 miles from me. We haven't heard anything. There were also several letters in the papers over the week-end from people who have had the vaccination.

My mother in law has her first one this week ( 81 with health problems ) and a nurse I know has has had the first one last week ( she has a badly compromised immune system )

Should have been shutting localities down and yes all Schools every time COVID was identified. Not even hindsight from me. And afraid Labour in Wales got caught up in the Christmas mash up, Drakeford done himself lots of harm...

Have mine on Wednesday, been cleared to have it . My manager had it Friday, and is alive this morning and still wanting to do my supervision. If he starts blurting windows code or similar, he is a kopite after all, i'll cancel.
