When will this shit end?

Mail reporting over 40’s to start getting jabs by the end of March. 
 

Is there a lower uptake as we go down through the ages or are things about to get even quicker?

Indeed- key data we need is how much vaccinated people can transmit the virus, and also whether the various vaccines protect against severe illness with regards the strain first identified in S Africa. Here’s hoping!

That's relatively minor considering it's rare in this country. 

 

BUT HERE YOU GO ANYWAY

I think the early reports have been positive (may be wrong, there’s so much info to absorb). I really hope that the tide only goes one way now 

They have been very positive, we still need to be cautious but we are coming towards the end of all this.

Great news! And yes, agreed.

Manchester rates still dropping, albeit at an agonizingly slow rate.

This thread is encountering near-weather-thread levels of rollercoasterism.

I think we're going to be ok.

Can you let us know how the second dose goes? A few have said that’s when you get side effects with Pfizer, and I’d like to know if I should book the following day off work just in case!

So second dose is booked in for Monday. I’ll let you know how I feel come Tuesday

They have that slug Mark Harper from the CRG and some pub baron on Question Time and they’re both going on about how ‘It’s time to get on with things’. Have they not learned anything over the past year?

I think that most people probably will continue to wear this bullshit for a while into the Spring, but if the Government goes off in pursuit of very low case numbers after people have pretty well stopped dying then people will start to seriously question what the Government is playing at. That is, the Government might, under pressure from the masks-until-the-end-of-time faction of SAGE and their doom-laden models, still try to engage in a slow creep unlocking - schools, wait a month, gyms, wait a month, shops, wait a month, etc, etc. But the public will expect both care home visits and family meet-ups in general to be restored once the over 50s are all done and have had their three weeks to build immunity, and I think if we've not got the pubs and restaurants back by the time the hospitalisation and death figures are down to last Summer's levels then there will be ructions.

Can't really compare it to the weather thread until @The Nal comes in to confidently assure us that the worst possible outcome is inevitable 😛

Things are looking good for late spring / summer aren’t they?

Release us from this misery Boris you absolute bastard.

There’s a good chance he is correct.

Interesting that this has also come out. All points to that the vaccine data is really strong

 

Hang on, I didn’t check the news for a couple of days and I’ve slipped into a different timeline apparently?!

This is definitely good news:

It's going to be really interesting what happens to case numbers as people of working age (I.e. those more likely to spread) are vaccinated. 

[phimill]

A lot of good news coming out this morning! Lets hope this is all from "good leaks" and we are going to move into the next positive phase next week!!

JCVI Chairman Wen Shei Lim argues that age should continue to be the key factor in the vaccine rollout beyond groups 1-9. Sounds like those in their 40’s can expect the call around Easter time.

I hope when the time that call comes I can search google for the number and then decide to answer it or not.
