There is some speculation that the variant is more likely to infect children, who although unlikely to become ill are then passing it on.
If that is the case then the Christmas break should cause the levels to fall and I wouldn’t be surprised if schools didn’t go back in January.

Posted on 22/12/2020 09:31 by LLMIt would be good if the OAZ vaccine was approved soon. It would also be helpful if the Gov/NHS could find a way of increasing the numbers of inoculations being given each day. Sadly that is very difficult as there is a finite number of staff.

The positive thing with the Oxford vax it’s cheap & fridge happy, it’s one for the world not just domestic. The WHO are stressing that the poor countries are being ignored, err Mr Ghebreyesus we are all in the same boat, Our Govt has signed up to donate vax👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Posted on 22/12/2020 10:02 by DEBSCHopefully the Oxford vaccine won't be long, don't want to be pessimistic about vaccines but, in four weeks time they will be giving the second vaccine to some while trying to give the first vaccine to others, so it will all double up, where are all these people who are giving the vaccine going to come from, will we have enough of them, or a bottle neck. On the subject of tier 4 people having gone away, well there are plenty of second home owners already here in Devon.

DC, the Vax is the only trustworthy way of getting thru this pandemic. It’s a case of-the vax givers will be found to administer the vax, no ifs nor buts it’s a given. To put it in Hollywood speak-‘it’s the only hope for Humanity’ plus in true Hollywood it’s the USA that’s coming up with the goods😊👍🏻🇺🇸

I have a different system that I am personally happy with. Over 4 week period I have 10 mask usages as I don't - 8 shopping trips and 2 takeaways. I have, outside on a line under a covered patio area 10 masks. There are several spare in each car. I take one off the line from the right when I go shopping and replace it on the left when I come back. So each mask is hung in the fresh air for a month before reuse
