Went supermarket shopping this morning, never seen it so quiet, I was expecting chaos and crowds!
Same here, mind you, we did go at 06:45 , and were back home by 08:00

It's best to go early still, if you wait then the shelves aren't fully stocked in the evening, nothing to do with dwindling stock just the gannets taking it faster than the supermarkets can re-stock them
Unfortunately not. I doubt if the majority were deliberately setting out to break the rules, they were desperate for a few hours away from the restrictions, and when the police tried to restore some semblance of order most were cooperative. Still no excuse in the current circumstances though.That's got to be a fake picture. I thought only the Brits behaved badly.
Yeah no storage issues so much easier and I think the age thing still stands with oldest first once front line staff and the vulnerable are sorted.Cheaper and easier to roll out too. However, there seems to be precious little info on the elderly, who are the most pressing candidates for vaccination.
I have quite a lot of family on your side of the pond and was pretty shocked by their opinion on things and even if they would accept the vaccine should it be offered. I had to bite my tongue as I don't see them nearly enough to fall out over something they are not going to change their minds over.3,725 Americans died from it yesterday, including a 41 yr old republican Senator elect, only 2 weeks after reporting his positive test. w/ a new variant that is more contagious, I don't understand why this country is so resistant to following the lead of smarter countries
will 3 - 4 thousand Americans die today from it? who will they be?
Hancocky to speak in the Commons soon after 2.30pm. Expect Tier 5 to appear but who knows what extra measures that may add. Any guesses? Close schools? Close or near-close pee taking offices with bosses who refuse to allow working from home? Will he dare try to limit movement to essential reasons with a form filled out, French-style?
I think a 4 week or so lockdown, including the schools would help give the new vaccine a chance to do some good. I can't see it happening though as the school thing has just become so political.Hancocky to speak in the Commons soon after 2.30pm.

Yeah, I've seen many similar spoofs. Not really helpful when reality is also making about as little sense!
I nearly gave that a "laugh" until I saw tier 6.
Tier 6 is the most acceptable imoI nearly gave that a "laugh" until I saw tier 6.
It does feel that way doesn't it.Tier 6 is the most acceptable imo
understandable. I've done similar in limited situations. mostly not, calling out what is, for what it is. here's hoping for better times with our friends & family in the not too distant futureI have quite a lot of family on your side of the pond and was pretty shocked by their opinion on things and even if they would accept the vaccine should it be offered.
