Hopefully things will get better with the vaccines.

I think we all are....I hope that everyone gets it now, I don't think they will but I feel we have to have hope, otherwise we have nothing

This.

It's been a very stressful time for us all, hopefully this Lockdown works.

Sobering thoughts from Thomas Moore Sky Science correspondent

So we know that the recent rise in infections is solely due to this new more virulent variant - it is 50% more transmittable .

The virus is staying one step ahead of the science .
It’s basically a race now between the ‘injections’ versus ‘infections’ ‘

90% of deaths are over 65 and we have 17 million people over 65 .

The dilemma is how quickly can we get an initial dose into 17 million people ... as the virus ain’t sitting around waiting ..

Labour MP Justin Madders just said on Sky News that during the last lockdown we still let 18 million into the country !!

Hush bots we must let optimists be optimists, or so I'm told. Some people prefer to glide the easy heights of pretty, hopeful stories with the sudden jolt of a crash to earth at that end. Not everyone can drive the slow, rumbling, grey roads of pragmatism. Sigh.

we have much tighter control of people coming in and out of the country now than we had last March, so we are in a much better position in that respect. Also, the SA variant may be more transmissible than the original variant, but we don't know if it can compete with the UK variant, and it would really have to be several orders of magnitude more infectious than the uk variant to be able to take hold in this country at any meaningful level. These things are complicated.

Also ... from a personal perspective, you must be more relieved for yourself now than you were earlier in the day

Very much so and thank you for the thought !

I’d basically accepted that I was going to catch it ... it was just how soon .

So for the foreseeable future ( well past February whatever they say ) I’ll be in school with just colleagues plus key worker/ vulnerable kids so from a personal perspective I will certainly be far safer than if the whole 1400 were in attendance

......we may have all lived the same restrictions in some ways but we haven’t all lived the same restrictions in others...and I know that you’ve worked all the way through it, with no option to work from home and feel less vulnerable and exposed...we’ve been given the ‘light’ haven’t we, with the vaccines...?...but it’s now feeling countered with the super spreader viruses and just so stress filled and we’re running so much on low spirits atm......

You are far from alone in feeling tired and that people are taking the p1ss but good people have to fight twice as hard to make up for the bad people who are too stupid to take responsibility for their actions.

Stay safe dezzy x

i think the next couple of weeks are going to be very bad. There is no way Boris would have taken this action unless we had already passed the critical threshold, it's just not what he does. We may all be tired of it, but focus on March/April

I feel actually a bit scared again....
