Classic from JVT at today's press conference after a reporter asked if it was a failure that the vaccine wasn't being rolled out immediately to Care Homes but to hospitals and GPs first
"As we've explained, there are logistical difficulties as It has to be stored at -70c. It's not like a yoghurt you can take in and out of a fridge"

If only someone could invent something like dry ice that went to the required temperature

Haven't heard yet. Ms M1 is training in psychiatry so she'll be down the list.
My doc daughter is F2 in psychiatry at the mo.
So at least two ferners fathers have daughters doing psychiatry.
I can understand that.

Apparently it's manufactured & distributed in batches of 975 doses which doesn't help with logistics.
Imagine they will figure out how to break them down into smaller batches going forward.

Mine is a second year doing psych on a rota. Seems keener to end up studying neurology. Probably seen enough psychosis in family to put her off the former!

Got to ask: why 975?

For those of us who've had to put up with the sanctimonious, holier-than-thou, sneering, overpaid incompetents who masquerade as "journalists" during the Coronavirus crisis, this is schadenfreude on an epic scale....

Have ‘agreed’
That’s nice of them
Paid or unpaid

Just taken off the air I think - still employed.
Beth Rigby to Dominic Cummings: "Decent people all over the country have made huge sacrifices yet you, you decided to travel to Durham allegedly to look after you family. Most people would be disgusted. Why haven't you been sacked?"
You'd have to have a heart of stone not to laugh yourself silly at the irony ....

@Victor-Meldrew It is entirely obvious that the people that, nightly, preach the dangers and lethality of this virus simply don't believe it's dangerous.
The issue isn't that these people flaunted rules, that's secondary to them patently not believing they have anything to fear from this virus - yet they shape the nation's narrative of death and suffering.
Words vs actions at play once again. And again the narrative propagates the words and dismisses the actions.
Such an unwillingness to accept that these media people are capable of speaking untruths. Such blind trust in what they say🤔 -
Already talked about / running it up the flagpole that Wales will go to full National Lockdown from 28 Dec to at least 21 Jan, if not 28 Jan.
All for 5 fucking days of Christmas celebrations.
Fucking idiots.

I dunno wtf the government is playing at with the Xmas rules, but I suspect it's about trying to minimise damage.
I know of two types of people. Those that are not seeing anybody else as they are concerned about current numbers. And those who aren't having xmas taken away from them regardless.
Which means if the govt said you can do anything, or you can do nothing ... then nothing would change for either group.

@Crucial said in Coronavirus - UK:
UK (and other parts of Europe) showing just how damaging the yo-yoiing in and out of lockdown levels is. Pub owners and the like must be incredibly frustrated winding up and closing down all the time
Mrs Meldrew's son and partner run a B&B in Bridlington and they are pretty OK with yo-yoing as it's kept their business afloat. Ditto the little holiday village down the road.
It's a tricky balancing act between controlling the virus, keeping the economy going and reacting to the ebb and flow of the infection rate. If the UK had remained in lock-down, the virus would have disappeared but so would the economy - and the excess deaths from the economic hit would be way more than from the virus itself.

If only we had gone for a 2 week circuit-breaker lockdown.
Oh, hang-on...

Wales numbers highest in UK
No fucker abiding by the rules if you listen to MSM
And 9 people, all with co- morbidities, died today
This is NOT a pandemic

Heard a GP on the radio today talking about a visit to Westfield Shopping Centre and how social distancing, etc pretty much being ignored. Fits in with what we saw here in late-Summer.
I'm PMSL'ing the bizarre spectacle of MPs and critics simultaneously claiming it's too late to change the Christmas regulations while complaining the government set out it's Christmas plans too early...
