apart from the 28.00 difference in price, investment in the type of freezer required would be needed so makes sense

Honestly my main concern there is that if it needs unconventional handling, it is inevitably going to be mishandled sometimes which will result in an overall lower %age of effectiveness. The quoted effectiveness is, presumably, when all doses are handled correctly.

the astra zeneca vaccine is also much less traumatic to the person receiving it than the others, it works on young and old and its based on proven technology.

I was just saying the same thing. Another week.or so of lockdown and I reckon Gtr Mcr would have been Tier 2 but once everyone flocks to the Trafford Centre next week, the cases will rocket again I fear.

I think alot of places expecting to be in Tier 2 will be in Tier 3 for Christmas

COVID-19: UK records another 608 coronavirus deaths - the highest daily total since May...




The UK has recorded another 11,299 coronavirus cases and 608 related deaths in the past 24 hours - the highest daily total for deaths since 12 May.

The number of cases are down on the 15,450 recorded on Monday but the number of deaths are up on 206 recorded on Monday.

The latest statistics come on the day it was also revealed that the number of deaths in England and Wales up to 13 November, was the highest weekly total since the end of May.

The total number of deaths of people within 28 days of testing positive for COVID-19, is now 55,838.

But separate figures published by the UK's statistics agencies for deaths where COVID-19 has been mentioned on the death certificate, together with additional data on deaths that have occurred in recent days, show there have now been more than 71,000 deaths involving COVID-19 in the UK.

England, Wales, Scotland & Northern Ireland
all have agreed on the Christmas period.


Up to three households can meet indoors during
a five-day Christmas period of 23-27 December,
leaders of the four UK nations have agreed.

And most of the shops will be open anyway.

there is always a lag of about 4 weeks between infections going down and that being reflected in the death figures, but i still cant grasp the stupidity of having a 4 week lockdown where businesses were forced to close for there then to be mixing allowed for 5 days. it's complete madness

It's NOT happening in my home.
The 3 of us who are in my home from March this year.
Will be the ONLY ones in it still, even over Christmas.

I think, although I hope not, this move will lead into another problem after the new year period.

Plus where all these extra households will be travelling to and from too to get to the other households.

I feel this is a bad decision from the 4 Nations of the UK.
Bad and probably dangerous too.

So no, NOT for me with the agreement of the 2 people in my home at present.
No throwing caution to the wind from any of us

I love football but I’m thinking it’s also too soon to be allowing 4,000 fans into football grounds .. supposedly not allowed to shout , chant or sing !!

Yeah right ...

Plus many those fans will end up going in fast food places or pubs afterwards ..

It really is too early to opening up sports events I agree.

A recipe for disaster.
