When will this shit end?

It does seem to be happening in the polls, they seem to get away with it time and time again. The public are quite forgiving with the Tories. 

well, to be fair...the vaccine thing is a massive success, and is basically ending the crisis here in the UK (and hopefully eventually everywhere). I know it isn't all down to the government, but the pandemic wasn't the fault of the government either. If we look back we'll see that we had one of the worst death rates (unless gets real bad elsewhere suddenly), and many mistakes were made....but people won't want to look back, they'll want to look forward.

It'll also be reflected in the local elections based on what Boris Johnson SAYS is going to happen in May and June. This is why I'm deeply sceptical about the removal of social distancing in June - frankly I think he's just made it up for political gain. He always lies - I think the limits on social distancing will be lifted when enough have had their second vaccine doses, as we expected before the roadmap was announced.

Even America is talking about small 4th July gatherings despite intending to have every adult offered a vaccine before we do, Mark Drakeford is saying all year in Wales. It's probably what the scientists recommend so not pushing a conspiracy or anything, but he's got our hopes up once again, and once they walk these local elections its a long time before any accountability. So the real (science based) plan should start to show then, which was clearly always only open fully after 2 doses. Do it after one and people won't get their second. Furlough and covid acts will be extended until end of September. Actions not words...

I agree the Bojo is one of the worst Prime Ministers and generally a fucking awful person who has lied at a near trump pace. I think we are still on track for a June release (even if I think its too slow). 

1. Extending restrictions will cause more long term political harm than good. By setting a date people are preparing themselves. They are booking holidays, making plans and generally have something to aim for. If he took that away everyone is going to turn on him. 

2. Torys have put the Economy first before people on the majority of cases. He won't delay further 

3. Israel data is showing infections plummeting 

4. At our current rate we will have deaths and hospitalisations in the single digits by June. Guaranteed. If that is the case no one is gonna to adhere to restrictions

According to the self reporting on the vaccine, it can cause sunburn, electric shock and genital herpes

I’m as pro jab as they come but if I was in that situation I’d be blaming Herpes on the vaccine for sure.

It’s a bit like the AstraZeneca row. The seed of doubt has been planted now - you can’t undo it 😂😂

Now I'm worried that the vaccine seems to attract arthropods! FML.

89 people blaming their farts on the jab?

And insert your own joke about feeling the "sensation of a foreign body". Phwoar.

Now this would make a great thread, even before having the vaccine.

"How many have you had"? 

Reckon there's one or two who might get close to a full house.

I reckon I've had around 60% at Glastonbury alone!

I'm similar to you, Matt. It's just grim to think about the next election and how the Tories will probably walk it. 

Australia was an option for me, but as I'm 30 in a few months I'd have to apply for the Visa very soon and move there before next July (as I think you get a year to enter the country). Not sure I'm quite at the stage where I want to definitely move, so it's tricky.

Somewhere in Europe like Berlin would have been fantastic but unfortunately a large part of the country voted to rip that away from us for no reason. 

 

Are the residency requirements for Germany really more arduous than Australia?

[Crazyfool01]

clearly @Wellyboot might be hoping for some of the growing pains 🙂

I actually don't mind reading opposing views as that's what debate is about. But the aggressive hectoring tone of a few who post multiple times a page makes it really unpleasant in here so ignoring seems the best way forward. That way they can still post but I don't have to read it, unless quoted, but somehow that lessens the impact.

Yeah. I love reading opposing views and being challenged. I just want to mute the bores who drone on and on tediously about certain personal hobby horses.

110 deaths today. Fair to say from either tomorrow or Thursday we shouldn’t see daily deaths in triple digits for a long time (hopefully ever).

Vaccination update:

Sterling work again, @Ozanne, any chance you could add a "percentage of the UK vaccinated" column?

[Hannibal Schmitt]

quite interesting what Prof. Wick from the Covid-station in Innsbruck has to say. One aspect could be the way the vaccination is given because if the plunger is not pulled out in the way it should be it could hurt the blood vessels and this could also explain why these thromboses occur. at least this option should be considered as this would have nothing to do with the AZ or any other vaccine.
