Is that the one with the extra knuckle ?

Southampton ICU and death figures likely to exceed first wave totals in the next 24 hours. Good job we used the summer lull to prepare instead of going out for a burger and fries on Rishi.

From the BBC. Classic Johnson.

ā€œā€¦At a Downing Street news conference on Tuesday, Prime Minister Boris Johnson said he had ā€œno choiceā€ but to impose the new lockdown, with the number of patients in hospitals 40% higher than in the first peak.

He would not guarantee that all children would be back in school before the summer holidays but insisted he was full of ā€œoptimism and fundamental hopeā€ that things would be different in the springā€¦ā€

ā€œOptimism and fundamental hopeā€ smacks of someone who hasn’t a clue what he is going to do next. Oh, he’s probably right about kids not going back to school until the summer. :roll_eyes:

Giving the clap to carers is back from tomorrow apparently

I’m pretty sure the country could have been more supportive by not throwing NY parties etc

Got a feeling the frontline NHS will be saying piss off with the empty gesture

He has no choice because he refuses to take tough decidions when he has a choice. He is a fucking useless sack of shit.

It doesnt help that the scruffy cunt has got a moonfaced enabler fagging for him at the head of the labour party.

Given the present circumstances, I find it disturbing that the ā€œiā€ and the ā€œoā€ are so close on the computer keyboard.

One stray keystroke and the government could announce we’re in ā€œlickdownā€

I don’t think it will help matters.

It’s just our misfortune that at a time like this we have someone in charge for whom the term ā€œfucking uselessā€ could be considered aspirational rather than insulting.

For misfortune, read ā€œentirely foreseen consequence of fucking the public about on Brexitā€.

Funnily enough though, most people I speak to admit that Corbyn would have prioritised things better. Sadly, we’ll never know.

My old man just told me his second jab due on Sunday has been cancelled so they can give it as a first injection to some other bugger.
Effectively doubling the amount of people they havent vaccinated but will claim to have done.

A single shot of the vaccine does give a decent level of protection

Is that the same for the Oxford vaccine, which I’ve read (so may be incorrect) offers a lower percentage protection?

Yes, according to the data they filed with the MHRA a single dose confers 73% protection after 22 days

Yes but of those 27% for whom the single Oxford jab laid them open to infection 0% died and 0% were hospitalised so in effect you could say a single Oxford jab will give you 100% protection from death or hospitalisation.

First couple of minutes he gives an overview of the complete video…

Seems it hasn’t gone down well on Twatter:

Yes. A single dose does a pretty good job of offering practical protection.
