Coronavirus outbreak

[tom73]

Though current supply of said vaccine will run out in January and next supply not due till March. So without anything options being ready to pretty soon. The vaccination program will be having to wait a bit longer. Improved testing not really the rapid flow test are going to bring even more issues than they will fix. The ink is not even dry on the test area report before they got carried away and handed them out like sweets.
In the meantime over in Oz they have a new out break of around 24 and the whole area infected area go's into lockdown for 3 days.
We have every growing numbers in all areas and are more worried about saving Christmas, telling people to get spending and sod the Consequences.

We are to treated with a extra slice of Boris with a news conference later today. The growing situation looks set to all blamed on the "new Covid" and nothing to do with interventions to date being hopeless. Can't see a Christmas u turn but some sort of waffle around using common sense. With which poor unfortunate expert standing near by thinking oh please just grow a pair tell them how it is. Just do what we keep telling you when we tell you to do it.

Sorry, I'm talking about Germany rather than the UK. As this is a UK forum I don't want to rabbit on about this too often, but on the other hand it's not the other side of the world either!

No need to apologise! I for one am definitely interested in hearing how other countries and people are coping with this damned virus - not least that it gives some insight as to how best to respond on both a personal and societal level. It saddening to see Germany in such a mess, especially considering that it did remarkably well to begin with. Lets hope that these new measures help being things under control. All I can really say at this point is stay safe.

He reportedly has. Right decision but wtf was going on earlier in the week.
I think the lockdowns across europe forced his hand.

Tier 4 stay at home order to be backed by law, I thought Parliament had been sent home for Xmas or can Boris sign some sort of executive order?

It’s only national measures that need a vote. Regional changers don’t need parliament to approve current emergency powers allow it.
