Coronavirus - is enough being done to contain it?

Health Secretary refuses to rule out additional restrictions before Christmas. “This is a fast moving situation.”
As usual, no plan in place from the govt.
Whatever you think of Labour's plan, agree with it 100%, 50% or disagree with it 100%, at least they have a plan.

Well, it’s been 24 hours and I’m feeling pretty rubbish after my booster.

The first one knocked me sideways. The second one was just a sore arm.

This one is somewhere in the middle…

I just can't see it, as think he knows it will end him as PM as his party would get rid of him over it , plus most of the cabinet know they are fucking useless and only there as Bojos mates so know they will be gone as well just can't see them voting to end there political time at the top

Yesterday we got the first concert data from SA in how many people have died from the new strain and it showed that in all age groups it's significantly lower than the number who are killed by detla , this is good news

^^ Significantly the average age in South Africa is 27.6 years whereas it's 40.5 in the UK. There are many other points of difference, levels of obesity for one.

Went to the football yesterday first time using the new covid pass it was very easy had it saved as a PDF on my phone good job as the website crashed at around 1400 as football fans started logging in all over the county took my mate 30 mind to get it to load on his phone, it didn't cause any holdups getting in as they don't scan it just have a quick 2 second look to make sure the expired date is good,
After the match got the train back less people traveling for sure usually the train from the station near the ground leaves full and standing but was only 50% full , I have to change on the way back to get another train to where I live and this proved difficult as covid saw lots the drivers not turn up.at Bristol for there last shift yesterday so instead of a hourly survice they only managed 3 trains between 1700 and midnight ,
This is going to be the biggest problem for the next few weeks so many off self isolated that not enough people to run things,

I've felt like shit since Wednesday, I made the mistake of having the booster and the flu jab in the same arm, the nurse recommended one jag in each arm but i didn't listen... now i'm tired all the time, and the back and knee pains i suffer from have worsened

As I say this is why it was important data as the first to cover all age groups, yes there are people older than 30 in SA lol,

Not highlighting this as a personal jibe at you Sm - just for convenience sake. Easy sometimes to see what you should have done in hindsight. It hasn't been handsight though in the majority of cases where advice has not been followed (i include Johnson et al). It has been plain stupidity and/or arrogance of thinking the experts from sage etc know less. If that is the case, why are they still the principle advisors to the GOVT??
