scruff1 - " 'Lets wait and see'. Seems to me weve been waiting for over a year. How long do you want to 'wait and see'."

It might have escaped your notice that the various methods used to contain the virus, free-up medical procedures and keep the economy ticking over, have been frustrated on a number of occasions.

'Wait and see' is simply a question of being prepared for all eventualities, so that when restrictions are eased, we don't end-up with further lockdowns and all their adverse physical and mental health effects, and economic damage.

Atm, it's looking good for the UK, but you don't have to look far to see the wreckage resulting from poor decision making.

As for saying that 'we've been waiting for over a year' - that's what it's taken to deal with this internationally recognised pandemic, except that on this board it's reckoned to be nothing to be concerned about and life can go on as normal!

Utricky

The original conversation about modal house income was with getting on the Burford thread about 14 months ago. As you were not part of that conversation you have no idea of the context so 'shut thee marf son'.

I thought I would say it in a tone you understand. ;)

Live Coronavirus latest news: AstraZeneca jab 100 percent effective against severe illness and hospitalisation, US study shows






The AstraZeneca vaccine is 100 percent effective against severe or critical disease and hospitalisation, a US study has shown.

AstraZeneca said an independent safety committee conducted a specific review of the blood clots in the U.S. trial, as well as cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST), which is an extremely rare blood clot in the brain, with the help of an independent neurologist.

It showed that the AstraZeneca/Oxford vaccine was 79 percent effective at preventing symptomatic illness, and was 100 percent effective against severe or critical disease and hospitalisation.

The fresh data comes after many countries resuming use of the vaccine after the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and the World Health Organization (WHO) said the benefits outweighed the risks following investigations into reports of blood clots.

The London-listed firm said the panel found "no increased risk of thrombosis or events characterised by thrombosis among the 21,583 participants receiving at least one dose of the vaccine. The specific search for CVST found no events in this trial."

These anarchist thugs are at most demonstrations. The police know who they are but prefer to spend their time and resources chasing misogynists, Leon Britton types and naughty people having cups of tea in the wrong place. They send out the wrong messages then sound all surprised when the thugs have the bravado to torch their vans and what few police stations they have left. Good luck to anyone trying to phone the cops to report owt. Nowt left only ashes by the time you get through to the answering machine manned by civilians.

The so called 'demonstrators' in Bristol causing the trouble are just a bunch of low life scumbags out for a riot. This 'element' amongst the rest need dealing with HARD.

"With the vaccine rollout a success, there is no justification for retaining the power to limit our freedoms until September"

Probably there isn't, but let's wait and see.

Sooner or later, I hope, our cheerful leader's going to have to announce that a certain amount of risk is going to have to be part of the future, just as it always has been with 'flu.

I look forward to that day.
