Shit. Better go Trafford Centre.

Manchester only moving to Tier4 because those arse lickers in Liverpool going to Tier3.

We wouldn’t be going in to tier 3 if all you gobshites hadn’t come here and corona’d up our restaurants and pubs 😋

I wonder if I will still have to go into the office. Looking forward to this pandemic being over so I can work from home again.

How come you work from home but not now?

Have you not seen the increase in the last couple of weeks? We needed to go into Tier 4 at least a week ago.

I get his pain though it's been 6 bloody months, we've had no respite from this at all it's soul destroying tbh 😞

Seeing pictures on my timeline from work colleagues in Liverpool out and about in bars was quite surreal!! Whilst I never did venture to them when I had a brief chance over the summer it makes me sad that they have all been effectively shut since Oct (that's on top of ones that never opened up at all since March) ... seeing those pics really made me upset tbh

Good news on the Oxford jab but I'm so far down the list I don't see any light for me until the summer 😞

For everyone mentioning tier 5, I suspect that Williamson's speech in about 20 minutes will render tier 5 redundant - I.e. he'll announce a delay to the schools going back.

We all have to be grateful for harsh restrictions and aren't allowed to complain at all

No one has said that at all, why have you jumped to that?

@crazyfool1 I’m at work what tier are we in Somerset and North Somerset? 

North Somerset is Tier 3 still but the rest of Somerset is Tier 4 I believe.

What exactly is the difference between tier 3 and 4? Apart from a few superficial things I cant see that a huge amount has changed

530,000 jabs available next week ...... not 2 million then ? 

Production and distribution was always going to be the bottleneck.

Non essential retail is closed, gyms and hairdressers etc too. 

You can't meet in groups of 6 outside. I think that is about.

We need a stricter form of lockdown like in March, no meeting with people outside of your house even one on one etc. The harder we go now the shorter it will be for.

Now need to find out whether I'll be going back to uni which is also a tier 4. If I can't that'll be the cherry on top.

Every jab given directly benefits all of us, you don’t need to have the jab to get the benefits of it.

I do, but Manchester has been under constant restrictions because we've never got the R and case levels down to a point where it would be safe to. And every time things were loosened (E.g. opening pubs in Bolton), it only stored up trouble for later.

But - the weather is going to improve in a few weeks and the vaccines are being rolled out. We need a month, then things will be very different.

That is not working. It worked before lockdown, it's not working now.

It was a huge mistake to let Christmas happen. I could see on my road cars in front of people's houses including on Boxing Day. Way too much mixing. Snow days probably won't have helped either.

Playing outdoor sport is banned too (can no longer play football).

I know but I'd feel a lot safer having the vaccine myself tbh

Closing places like the Trafford Centre is massive IMHO... Or at least I hope so. It seems like a great place to catch the plague to me.

What's the concern with snow days?

Main difference for me is you can't get your hair cut. I suppose some shops can stay open in tier 3 that can't in tier 4 but yes it's marginal.

Putting everything on shops being the spreaders then. The groups outside bit is so unlikely to spread it

More nudge unit bollocks really

I've just seen lots of photos of large groups of kids and parents gathered on hills and seems to be a lot of chopping and changing of households on the photos I have seen.
