Um, is it easy to set yourself up on Ebay?

So, I see Johnson will be outlining the Dec 2 post-lockdown measures and tiers today, with details to follow on Thursday once they’ve made them up, and find out how much of a Grinch he’s prepared to be about Xmas socialising. No doubt the media chumocracy like Peston and Laura K will get it all leaked to them first so they can pass on snippets of gossip as “breaking news”.

He's going to ruin Christmas, isn't he? He's going to allow families to meet up.

Oxford Vaccine up to 90% effective, can be stored in a normal fridge and a third of the price of the other two as won't be sold for profit (and we've got millions ordered)

Things are looking up

They already are. I ventured out the house yesterday, so many groups gathering that clearly were not in the same household.

Oh mate, nobody's even bothering to pretend that this is a lockdown.

How else will they know what to make up for Thursday without floating potential ideas out through Laura and Peston and seeing what the reaction of the Great British Public is?

Because that's where we are now - it's not doing the right thing that's important - it's doing the popular thing.

They're basically using Twitter reactions as a focus group.

No f**ker told me!

Whoops. Just noticed you've not been added to the boarderstakingthepissoutofcovid WhatsApp group. I'll get that sorted.

Sounds like democracy.

Or maybe idiocracy.

Did Oxford not say it was 70% earlier?

70% in one dose, 90% if given as two doses spaced apart.

It's different amounts for the two doses (low vs high amount first)

Or 99.95% coverage by your own body. I know what I'm gonna rely on.

Going by Guardian comments, seems like most lefties would love to cancel Christmas.

I think they want to cancel unnecessary fatalities.

2nd of December of Course !!

There will always be unnecessary fatalities in life. Like it or not we have to learn to live with this like we do with other causes of deaths.

Sorry but we dont have to live with it

We have medical science fighting cancer , heart disease , meningitis etc etc.
If its about accepting death why do we have doctors at all ?

Tuffers , none of those terrible diseases stop the remainder of the country working

Living with it does not mean we stop fighting it. We have lived with countless viruses and diseases for years.
