Sweep Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 8 minutes ago, Tonge moor green jacket said: What is clear now, is that vaccinating the world, as quickly as possible is vital to reduce opportunity for more variants, and to get back to what we previously had. Or perhaps more pertinently, what we need to have in the future. The bottom line is the key one. Things have changed forever now, previously when in the Far East, I've always been mildly amused at seeing people wandering around with face masks on, and even wearing them in the office, not just when outside. Masks are here to stay now, and we'll see then being worn as they are in the Far East as a matter of course. I suspect that social distancing will remain a thing as well, not 2m or anything like that, but capacity of venues, pubs restaurants will be reduced. I think people will clean their hands a bit more as well, and not be such dirty bastards. The upside is that we'll hopefully see a lot less of things like seasonal flu as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More thinking about planning our cities, not living with pigs, carp or pangolin etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kate Bingham, and I'm paraphrasing " we got lots of people from the private sector with relevant experience in, to get moving on the contracts quickly". Good on her.

A clever bit of manoeuvring here: they've made a mistake, and now pass it down to the member states. Without looking deeper into it, I would guess that it only needs one country to object.

Site Supporter Spider Posted January 29, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted January 29, 2021 Do we want the UK all sorted and vaccined way ahead of the EU? Which I guess rules out any UK resident travelling to Spain this year at the very least Or Do we try and get all countries done at roughly the same pace and possibly open up borders a bit sooner?

Ideally, we spread the love and the vaccine, wih the bonus folks can secure their rightful place on the beaches of Costa Del Sol. But, we need to look after our population as best we can. A great year for caravans etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
