But, your Celtic heroes in Wales and N. Ireland are sending primary schools back before kids in England go back.

Are they now MURDERING SCUM now too ?

Make your mind up please or strike them off your “ heroes list “

That report is about England. Maybe you should have read it.

Lol.

And as noted, with the vulnerable well on there way to vaccination, the infections will hopefully not prove fatle.

Dont rely on the vaccines. We are being told that every day. They are not a panacea.

So do we just stay in perpetual lockdown?

I did read it,

So, they send their kids back and that’s fine and we send ours back a bit later and we’re MURDERING SCUM ?

Seriously, don’t bother mate, you’ll end up going around in circles all night.

Let's have this right: kids' wellbeing is not the concern of those looking to open the schools. Opening up the economy is and getting kids back in is crucial to it.

But that's right isn't it?
There have been 34 deaths in the UK under the age of 19. 28 of these had a recognised underlying condition.

There will be many more children suffering through not being in school than those unfortunately passing from Covid.

You very obviously don’t have any little comrades do you ?

If you did, you’d know that not being in school is doing tremendous damage to school kids of all ages.

Interesting data from over here showing the impact of the UK variant, which is now the dominant strain here. Compared to our second lock down. Comparatively it shows peak values in Oct/Nov to the current lockdown, we should be 4.3% vs the current 5.5% at this stage of the lockdown. The UK variant is driving infection and making infection rates more stubborn to get down.

The 1.2% difference is an extra 200 cases a day based on current test volumes, we are bouncing between 700-1000 case a day at the moment.

Canadian researchers say Pfizer vaccine's second dose can be delayed as first is highly effective

The second dose of Pfizer Inc's COVID-19 vaccine could be delayed in order to cover all priority groups as the first one is highly protective, two Canada-based researchers said in a letter published in the New England Journal of Medicine.

Vindication for our scientists is coming.

Would be good news, but I'm not sure an educated guess paying off is vindication

As always take whatever vaccine is available: Pfizer, Moderna and AstraZeneca are ‘all really effective at protecting,

But I did see this and thought of here, so I’ll post for a bit of light relief and for the craic!

 

[davek]

So do we just stay in perpetual lockdown?

No. We wait for the vaccines to be rolled out and dont jump the gun on on opening before then them because some 'kin spiv wants to sell their tat in April rather than June; we avoid indoor drinking and dining; we keep gyms etc closed; we see a world class track and trace system in place (as promised by the murderers 9 months ago); we change our behaviour to one where masks and social distancing are the norm until the pandemic is over.

Not any more no. I can only imagine the difficulties under these circumstances. Here's the thing though: it's a pandemic. People will become infected in large numbers again and more people will die. So what do you suggest doing if the infection rates are rising amongst kids of a primary school age?

F.A. probably.

Yeah sorry but I'm not waiting till June to go back to work, having only worked 2 days out of 49 this year and when I'll have had one jab after this weekend and due my second in May. The majority of the country will have been vaccined at least once by the middle of next month, everything will be stage managed to reopen
