    Brexit, for once some facts.

    But it is a changing war.. Yes, perhaps we should have been told to wear masks but would it have actually changed people's behaviour. Couple of weeks ago, when masks were supposed to be worn, popped into our Wickes. Group of blokes arguing with staff, refusing to put on masks. There was a great...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Yes, agreed there should be more transparency and explanation. To be fair the medical staff do try and explain in briefings. Unfortunately I do suspect their messages get lost in our sea of media repitition. I, ve made a point of watching every briefing. I then listen to media's interpretation...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Give them a ring, I, m sure they would appreciate the advice. On the vaccine numbers front. There are roughly 8 billion people on earth. At the moment getting a shot against covid in the next couple of months is like standing at a single turnstile with another 100,000 people lined up... But...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    We have 80,000 folk qualified to administer vaccine. We don't need more. Let them get on with it and credit those who have got us to this point. Yep, yet again, mistakes are made. That's life. Stop looking for fault. Appreciate what is being done on our behalf and praise the achievements. OG...

    https://www.cnbc.com/2021/01/04/uk-decision-to-delay-second-covid-vaccine-shot-endorsed-by-advisers.html I suspect these people had read the box as well. Those in power have awful decisions to make. It's a risk either way. That's reality. Moaning at Boris and making these arguments political is...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    In an ideal world of course you are right, we don't live in one though. For whatever reason there is not a perfect supply, there was never going to be. MHRA/Govt have to work with reality. A shortage, a bottle neck. I, d read somewhere it was batch checking recently acquired and filled vials...

    Strange how since we, ve handled pandemic so appallingly we sit with almost exact same infection rate as France, around the average for Europe. Yet when we examine Vaccination, which is at moment the only objective measure of our organisational efforts we sit top. As of this morning 1.46...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    IMHO one of reasons, amongst many others, that they have messed up is the constant message from media, social and mass, that they are incompetent giving all and sundry perfect reason to totally ignore everything they say and in bargain claim to not understand their confused messages. You know...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Not sure but I believe Oxford A/Z have promised vaccine at zero profit to all developing countries and with its easier handling its expected to be the prime contributor for getting world out of lockdown. There does seem to be a new narrative coming from media. Preston, who I, ve criticised in...

    Vaccination race starts in Europe. Notice EU combined has managed fewer vaccinations than UK. France has managed 500. The UK figure is now 1.5 million, figures for UK were from 27th Dec. (Israel 5th January) Germany actually managed to give 5 doses (yes 5 doses) to each member of a care home...

    Agreed. Chinese lock up folk who speak against government. We should start that. But fair comments. Our society would not accept compulsory App but agreed we should come down harder on transgressors. I, m not sure he would have got Lockdown earlier through parliament. At time many of both sides...

    So OECD requires criticism where as Focaldata(via Guardian) doesn't. That's prejudiced and you know it. Oyster And as for criticism of BJ on Marr this morning exactly what did you want him to say? He's said he might have to lockdown country and or close all schools. Saying he, s reconciled with...

    He didn't let on what he was using them for... Social media has been appalling.. Moderate a couple of sports forums. Some idiot posted an anti vaxer video which spouted utter rubbish with totally wrong facts about Covid, Measles, Autism etc etc so I deleted it... Owners of site got in touch...
