So instead of calling it the China Virus, can we now call it the London Virus?

'London Culling' virus

Starmer called it.

Assume the places not going into tier 3 coincide with a Tory MP kicking off more than the others...

I’d say the gyms would go ... and quite probably close contact services like hairdressers that initially weren’t allowed 

In my gym in Oxford the staff are more interested in playing on their mobile phones than ensuring everything is covid compliant .

Haaaa get it up ya London. The amount of whining they’ve done about this potentially happening has been unbelievable. London exceptionalism no longer.

Will London have agreed to go to Tier 3 based on confirmation that no Tier 3 areas will be reduced down to Tier 2 on Wednesday?

I'm not sure it's a great vibe to be celebrating any area having to go further into lockdown because of increased rates.

Essex MPs (a county with a peculiarly motley collection) really don't like it up 'em!

yeah. Also interested if thats a potential reason for a delay in the oxford vaccine approval?

 

saying that, the protein the vaccines attack in the virus is a stable one

There aren’t negotiations between local areas and government anymore, they got rid of that after lockdown 2. So the government will make moves now regardless of what the local areas want.

I favour a bait and switch approach. Pretend to be all centrist dad in opposition then get into government and swerve to the left from within. It’s exactly what the Tories did. Cameron was a centrist from opposition then the party moved more towards the right progressively in government.

Hancock said they have identified a new variant that is spreading more quickly, but as @Ozannesays it's not more lethal and will probably still respond to vaccine.

They've known about mutation for months and this is likely just another one and hopefully nothing to be too concerned about.

Haha me too! He thinks I'm bonkers but am always talking about what @Toilet Ducksaid.

natural progression of the virsu? more infectious but less deadly?

I’m glad of the absolutely justified lockdown, not the rates, obviously. Would have been utterly farcical if they’d let London off the hook. 
 

Not sure its a great vibe to be whining about a lockdown when rates are so high. Lets try n save some lives eh?

[Crazyfool01]

It’s good that the numbers of those getting the vaccine is going to be added to gov.U.K. .... wonder how quickly this might happen ...

Right - but what you said kind of came across as laughing at London. As it is I completely agree with stricter lockdowns and certainly not whining about them, think we should can xmas!
