    It's the right call to make. Why the call was made at 8pm on the first Monday back after hundreds of thousands of children had gone back I don't know, but I'm glad they've done the right thing. The children will catch up, they have done once already, they'll do so again. They've got time on their side to make up the lost learning, millions of vulnerable people don't have time to make up.

    I think it was something like inserting a modified DNA strand into it to weaken the spikes that attached to the hosts cells. Not bad for something derived from a chimpanzee cold virus.

    It looks like we can all stop washing our hands now. I think I'll carry on though, just in case.

    Summary: what you can and cannot do during the national lockdown

    You must stay at home. The single most important action we can all take is to stay at home to protect the NHS and save lives.

    You should follow this guidance immediately. The law will be updated to reflect these new rules.

    Leaving home
    You must not leave, or be outside of your home except where necessary. You may leave the home to:

    • shop for basic necessities, for you or a vulnerable person
    • go to work, or provide voluntary or charitable services, if you cannot reasonably do so from home
    • exercise with your household (or support bubble) or one other person, this should be limited to once per day, and you should not travel outside your local area.
    • meet your support bubble or childcare bubble where necessary, but only if you are legally permitted to form one
    • seek medical assistance or avoid injury, illness or risk of harm (including domestic abuse)
    • attend education or childcare - for those eligible
    Colleges, primary and secondary schools will remain open only for vulnerable children and the children of critical workers. All other children will learn remotely until February half term. Early Years settings remain open.

    Higher Education provision will remain online until mid February for all except future critical worker courses.

    If you do leave home for a permitted reason, you should always stay local in the village, town, or part of the city where you live. You may leave your local area for a legally permitted reason, such as for work.

    If you are clinically extremely vulnerable you should only go out for medical appointments, exercise or if it is essential. You should not attend work

    Meeting others
    You cannot leave your home to meet socially with anyone you do not live with or are not in a support bubble with (if you are legally permitted to form one).

    You may exercise on your own, with one other person, or with your household or support bubble.

    You should not meet other people you do not live with, or have formed a support bubble with, unless for a permitted reason.

    Stay 2 metres apart from anyone not in your household.

    Easy to tweak the vaccine.
    Just needs Bill Gates to send a software update to the chip in it. :bandit:

    Some people caught in the act of trying to manufacture false information. Well done Colchester hospital.


    Security officers removed Covid-19 "deniers" who were taking pictures of empty corridors at a NHS hospital where the intensive care unit is at maximum capacity, its chief executive said.

    The incident took place at Colchester Hospital at the weekend.

    Chief executive Nick Hulme said it "beggars belief" some people were calling the pandemic a hoax.

    He said it was "the right thing to do" to keep corridors in outpatients units as empty as possible.

    Mr Hulme said hospital security had to "remove people who were taking photographs of empty corridors and then posting them on social media, saying the hospital is not in crisis".

    "When you've got that sort of social media pressure and those people denying the reality of Covid it really concerns us. Words fail me," he said.

    "Why would people do that when we all know somebody who has died from Covid?

    "Of course there are empty corridors at the weekend in outpatients, because that's the right thing to do.

    "We are facing the biggest health challenge we've ever seen and we are still seeing people flouting the [social distancing] rules."

    People had to be removed from Colchester Hospital's outpatients ward for taking pictures of empty corridors and claiming Covid-19 was a hoax
    Under coronavirus pandemic restrictions on social distancing, many outpatient consultations had been moved online or were taking place over the telephone, he added.

    Physical appointments, tests and procedures had been organised differently to avoid crowded waiting areas.

    Mr Hulme is chief executive of East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust which also runs Ipswich Hospital and he said there were currently 320 patients being treated for Covid-19 across both sites.

    It's the logistics of getting someone around to turn everyone off and on again that's the issue.

    Does any of this apply to people who have had it?

    The Johnson 8pm show was broadcast to turn everyone off
    I’m just looking forward to what’s planned to turn us all on though!

    Being serious, this guy's actually good for a watch, and he's covering that question here.

    You could ask Mrs Oregon Tiger. She's good at turning people off. Turning them on again could be problematic.
