It seems the government want to target areas with high levels.
Does that send the message, ‘do what you want, then we’ll rush vaccine to you if it goes wrong’. Lack of self discipline shouldn’t give you a priority.

Some US vaccination campaigns are going to be more successful than others...

Unbelievable, a lad I work with is from Louisiana, he got a drive through vaccinationlol

Just had my vaccine. Good job I had a mask on as I was grinning manically at everyone at the centre!

 

[Paris]

He's right of course. No matter how much he who shall not be named wishes he wasn't.

 

[jinkyali]

Pretty straight forward.

 

[Paris]

With apologies to he who shall not be named for posting more positive news

Yet another cringey headline comes along.... “124 pints and a packet of crisps please”.

Now, people will get the reference this time as it’s a song that gets played on retro stations a lot, as well as the BBC “comedy”, but it would not fit the song and it’s stupid.

What is disappointing was that the govt were too slow to react again to this Indian variant. We could have bought ourselves valuable time. Now it is too late and the unlocking timeline is under threat

Not really, provided they do the common sense thing and open up vaccinations to anyone in high risk areas, if you don't get it then your house gets blocked off.

As long as the vaccines keep doing their job and the hosy`s don`t start filling up / people start dying in numbers again, we`ll be sound.

Foreign holidays may go down to the wire though.

Yup. Happy to write off the possibility of a foreign holiday until October 28, tbh.

Fantastic work in the UK, and a real source of optimism that things willpick up here. HSE hack might be a bit of a spanner in the works though, having worked in the HSE for 9 years, I wouldn't be surprised if the password was "HSE"
