But they have no excuse
When a person is lying, their blink rate decreases. Matt Hancock has the lowest blink rate of anyone I've seen on television.
Donald Trump also has a pathological blink rate.Believing politicians is a very silly thing to do. To misquote "Old Man River" (Kern/Hammerstein, 1927) "He must say sumthin' but don't know nuthin' ". At least Blow Job was honest in ducking the question on TV tonight.Anyway a pandemic is an epidemic disease with worldwide occurrence. Vaccinating the UK population won't prevent others getting it, and only quarantine for incomers will prevent it recurring in the UK.
@alancalverd @Bored chemist have you seen any data on protection given by first full dose only?

But that was only the opinion of the professorial head of the Oxford vaccine lab, not an expert like Matt Hancock (PPE, Oxford; Economics, Cambridge).[/quoteWhen is do you think they will have vaccinated all the vulnerable people by end of January especially as they only need to give them 1 dose, that will surely speed the process up so quickly

At least not in the United States (sorry, I've been keeping a better track of that than the UK because I live here). So far as I've read, phase 1a (vaccinating frontline medical workers plus assisted care workers and residents) will mostly be finished by January, but phase 1b (vaccinating those who work in high-risk and high-importance fields like the post office and manufacturing) will still be well underway. Phase 1c, which includes teachers and IT, will probably start in February. This all assumes there aren't any issues that slow the process down. I've seen estimates that the general population will have the vaccine available some time between March and June.

Gove said after Christmas
They said they will vaccinate the most vulnerable first which I think they said is 15 million people then they will lift the restrictions
Some people may like wearing face-masks, and hope they become a societal norm. Even in the absence of CV-19.
Some people may like wearing face-masks, and hope they become a societal norm. Even in the absence of CV-19. The masks provide valuable psychological benefits to some of us. In two respects: 1. We're relieved of having to keep curving our lips into an artificial smile at people we couldn't care less about;2. We're relieved of the fear that people will look critically at our decayed and missing teethThus the masks may possess therapeutic value beyond their alleged anti-viral properties. Does anyone else feel the same?
