It's a intermuscular vaccine, so it's easy to apply unlike something that requires finding a vein. I imagine they'd have one trained nurse or junior doxtor supervising a few volunteers.

What loving difference does it make if you smash 3 households together into close contact for one day instead of five? Will this make literally any difference?

I'm torn on this new variant thing - at first I thought it was being played up to cover up for the monumental fuckup of putting London in Tier 2 but now I think that they're seriously loving rattled given they've just announced London is to go into Tier 4 from *tomorrow*, with no easing for Christmas.

I don't care how easy to apply it is, I wouldn't trust me to do it after an hour or so of training so I certainly wouldn't trust some other random to do it.

One thing it does is stop people travelling long distances - if you can't stay overnight then you eg won't be travelling from London to Scotland.

Guavanaut posted:I've had blood tests done by trained professionals who've managed to lance straight through the vein and then my arm filled with blood and I had to rub heparinoid over it for days. They tried to make me pay for the prescription too. Off the top of my head I can think of a dozen things much worse than that if you let some numpty stick you with a needle after snoozing through a powerpoint and managing to hit an orange with a needle on the third attempt.

Actually moderately decent questions from journos calling out Johnson. Not sticking the boot in as much as I'd like, but better than they have been. Also lol at the Telegraph (I think?) guy being all "how did it get here?"

God I just can't stand Johnson's voice. He just sounds so loving 'yah yah lads' the whole time. This u-turn is up there with the top 10 anime betrayals.

Boris has to be duped into doing the right thing. fights over 'access' occur for every politician, and the non-partisan civil service is no slouch SAGE seems to have traditionally assumed its role is to metagame public adherence rather than to metagame the Government itself though - it has switched from assuming that the Government of the day will cover for its recommendations (and allow SAGE itself to hedge its language and stay out of crossfires), as earlier this year, to having to engage in independent statements to the media

I feel like a complete loving idiot for making plans to see my family now. Here me and my partner are with a bunch of wrapped presents we can't give and nothing to eat or drink on Christmas day. We've even held back on seeing our families for the last few months because we thought it'd be safer to have just one safe, socially distant visit at the end of the year. After losing both my remaining grandparents this year and not being able to mourn with my family this was just the last thing we needed.

It's poo poo, but you'll be able to give those presents sometime soon, or you could do an unboxing Zoom or something if you felt like it. And I'm sure you'll be able to rustle up some kind of xmas dinner, you don't have to kill yourself being fancy. More important that we all stay healthy and have more family occasions to look forward to in years to come e: quote:Q. Should police be stopping people from travelling outside tier 4 and knocking on doors of households breaking the rules on Christmas Day? I'm pretty sure that's the Guardian not Johnson, but lmao at "the bulk people" Failed Imagineer fucked around with this message at 18:11 on Dec 19, 2020 |
