no chance not until everyone who wants a vaccine has been offered one

I can just about handle the nothingness during the week, but then when the weekends are just absolute boredom and not being able to take my girlfriend out for dinner or go to football or whatever else, that's what's driving me up the wall. 

I can't see this changing for months either..... 😞

I get that ... is it playing or spectating football you miss ? this season would almost be a write off I would think anyway ... maybe start to look forward to next realistically ? that makes things no easier but probably there would always have been little hope of getting much live stuff in this season... fingers crossed the new season starts with fans ...

Going to it! I usually go every weekend to Arsenal (or something else if I can't watch them)  I know this season is a write off its just I get to the weekend and have nothing to do, even worse I can't even go to any non-league games like I was at the start of the season.  

I've got tickets for three Wembley games for Euro2020 so fingers crossed that goes ahead with people inside the ground.

I really, really hope Johnson says something with vague dates on it (I know he said data not dates) because this aimless waiting with no indication of when things will get back to normal is doing my head in.

yeah its shite .... point I was trying to make is that we are already nearly into  month 3 things will slowly start to get better .... doesnt look like its going to be a fast reopening and I cant see why either ...but at least the days get longer and we get some fingers crossed sunshine .... this is when many people will be feeling at their worst and that isn't taking away from the struggles everyone has had ...are having

Feels worse than it did last spring, and I think its because we've all now had enough of it.  Wheras last spring a lot of us thought it would only last a few weeks/months. 

Even when we get out of this, a lot of things we had planned for the summer have already been cancelled!

Guess I'm just moaning really. 🙂

Why don’t we just do first doses until everyone has had one then do the second doses after. If it really offers the protection then surely it’s safer to just bang on first doses to get cases so low given then the risk of infection of any kind is so low. Please can someone explain @Toilet Duck

that's pfizer though, not AZ....and anyway I think main point of 2nd dose is to lengthen immunity.

its good to get it out the system ... we are all struggling in different ways because of this ...... and not Knowing about the future is one of the tough things .... lets hope we get something on Monday that helps us .... 

[Fuzzy Afro]

I reckon the pandemic will be basically over as a public health crisis in the UK by mid April

At least not until we have done the most at risk of dying or going to hospital, groups 1-9.

What do they think we're doing with the vaccine we've got? We're not sitting on it we're vaccinating our most vulnerable. 

Then we can give to the rest of the world, otherwise what's even the point of a country.

But if it turns out that AZ is the same as pziser then why not just wait s24 weeks, why does it have to be 12 weeks. Surely they have enough immunity to last out for 6 months and if it reduced transition the Chances of catching the virus will be slow due to the virus not being able to find a host to grow in

I think that they think we shouldn’t morally being going as fast as we are and therefore should slow down to help other nations, I think it’s jealousy more than anything

Why do you think that. If that’s the case then why don’t we just stay locked down till mid April then unlock, I really think the next 8 weeks are Key to knocking this while thing on the head
