Off Topic Ahhh... the good news thread

Lockdown easing to be discussed on Thursday. Probably lifted by Saturday.

 

Really?
Unlikely I would have thought, but nothing is impossible these days.
Boris must really enjoy having egg on his face if it happens.

 

From the horses mouth, I kid you not.

Egg on face doesn't come into it...probably the whole breakfast.

 

We have a vaccine

Well done to our brilliant scientists.

Normal life will return soon.

 

I am in the fifth category. I hope this all works out.

Category 7 for me.
Just make sure the NHS & care home staff & residents get it first.
Then award all front line NHS staff the George Medal.

 

Surely NHS workers in CAT 1 as well?

 

You'd think so. Probably just a mistake.

 

My good lady is NHS and been told they’ll be getting ASAP

 

You and @AllHellLetLoose in Category 2.

You can let us know what it’s like.

 

Yes, a mistake. NHS frontline staff first, and rightly so.

 

Sadly, I'm in category 6.

 

You look at least 90 these days, so jump the queue.

 

Correction, the body of a 90 year old, the looks of a 30 year old.

 

When you consider they have been trying to produce a SARS vaccine for 17 years, this looks like a miracle. I argued that if Covid was a virus of perfect logic, then a vaccine would come...and it's here. The other good news is that my prediction of a late October peak was correct, and Boris knew of this on Saturday, hence the delay whilst he brawled with the chancellor who is not a fan of the Chuckle Brothers. It's best we just rejoice and not sink into a blame game...no world government caused Covid, it has always been a case of suck it and see.

We have a future, we have each other...be happy with that.

 

And the mind of a child

 

No ICU additions in the last 4 days.

I cant wait for when this thread announces fans back in grounds.
