1) Get shut of all the red tape that's stopping retired NHS workers returning.
2) Bring in the army.
3) Allow as many people as possible to volunteer.
I reckon to save lives and get nearer normality quicker if people need to go get a jab in the middle of the night they would do. I know I would.
I cut my husbands and he ended up looking like the love child of Kim Jong Un and Monkey from Monkey Magic (yes, I’m that old). To be fair though cutting Asian hair is like trimming a sodding porcupine ... the stuff grows horizontally FFSMy boyfriend refuses to do mine!
Snap! The amount of families treating it as a day out is unbelievable wasn’t much different in our store last March though when we went into the first lockdown!
Big up the Aldi crew!
I like that he's starting to state the obvious that we will never get old life back ever with him drip feeding already that restrictions next winter will be around.
Here we go again

Exactly and look what happened with promising Christmas!
Restrictions next winter? 
I know he’s making a mess with last minute announcements and all the other things but I do feel sorry for Boris. I feel anxious just getting out of bed some days and facing the day imagine having to cope with all of this. I don’t believe any other politician would have done much better. I’m not defending him I know he’s a clown but it must be such a horrible position to be in.
I’ve had a text from the doctors today telling me not to come to the surgery for a vaccination as they will be letting me know when my allocated vaccine will be. I’m a relatively healthy 29 year old so I think I will be waiting about a year and a half for that text
I don’t know whether they must have had people going to the surgery trying to get a vaccine to send that message out.

I don’t know whether they must have had people going to the surgery trying to get a vaccine to send that message out.Given the number of people who die of flu each year, if restrictions look like encouraging wfh / mask wearing / restricting numbers in crowded spaces I don’t think it’s the worst thing. He was also quite open about the fact that the restrictions likely won’t look as restrictive as they are now.
By next Christmas the most vulnerable will have a vaccine so if they caught it, they’d be mildly ill (ok mild illness might kill off some people but on the whole they’ll be protected from serious covid) and likely the rest of us may have had it and be protected to some degree with natural antibodies! If someone offered me 9 months of relative normality and 3 months of restrictions I’d snatch their hand off!
Today was the end of my isolation (I've mentioned before, but I had surgery last week so needed to isolate 2 weeks before and a week after) and I did go to B&M today as I just needed to get out. I was in my wheelchair, had my crutches as social distancing sticks ready but there was no one in there! I was shocked at how empty it was. Showed fiancé the RIGHT laundry stuff that we needed - it's not that hard - and grabbed the essentials we needed and left.
If it helps the B&M haters of Tattle, fiancé was in a stinking mood and I'm sure he did it so that I didn't ask to go again. Fortunately for him, I'm back to shielding now anyway so he's off the hook for a while regardless

It's a strange one cause even though I was like oh my god we'll still be doing this the end of the year! By the same token, I'm glad it's been said cause now we know where we are. I'd rather be faced with the reality of the situation than be told this will be over by x date and then it's not
But those three things aren't normal life and should never be seen as such. WFH isn't a bad thing I love it. Mask wearing yes if you're under the weather pop one on out of courtesy but don't wear one all the time for the sake of it. Some places are suppose to be crowded like I couldn't imagine less being allowed in to music concerts like Glastonbury, sport events etc.
My brothers been taken to hospital by ambulance this afternoon after collapsing and struggling to breathe. He’s called me so he’s doing ok, he’s waiting for a chest x ray and results from blood tests but he said he’s been told he could have covid but needs to book a test 
are they not able to test in hospital? That seems mad to me. As he was taken by ambulance he doesn’t have his car so someone will need to pick him up but what if he’s got covid? He’s asked me to go online and book the test but not really sure how to go about it when I dont know when he’ll be discharged or be able to get to his car

Still no notice of when to expect an invitation to get my vaccination. I cared for a covid positive woman a week ago. I've got work tomorrow and my anxiety is through the roof.
We’ve heard nothing either, patient facing in the community - we have no idea if our patients are positive or not! We keep getting emails saying “we know everyone is keen to get the vaccine but we have a priority list to follow”.
Whitty and Valance have always been consistent in their view that restrictions in some form are likely for 18-24 months, obviously with the hope that they are significantly less than we had at the start by the end of the first year. It’s a much better stance to take then “everything will be fine in 6,7,8,10 weeks” etc
Interesting, I never heard him say we will “never” be back to normal.

Just an idea when would be good. Its hard when I see ex colleagues from a different trust all posting about getting their second vaccine.
Im tired of it all tbh.
Yes and testing moves on so much you may need a negative test for a major event but rapid testing will have advanced so much
he should be able to be tested in hospital, when my mum was in during the summer they tested her as routine.My brothers been taken to hospital by ambulance this afternoon after collapsing and struggling to breathe. He’s called me so he’s doing ok, he’s waiting for a chest x ray and results from blood tests but he said he’s been told he could have covid but needs to book a test
Hope he’s ok. And you too.
