[News] PM's briefing - 5pm.

[The Fits]

I want Johnson not to lie, and I want things like Hancock turning up today at a GP practice for a photo op but the vaccine not arriving to be a satirical sketch not a reality.

I felt very positive about briefing tonight and confident everything possible is going to be done to role vaccination out. Just spoilt by stupid questions from media. NHS guy did well to keep calm but nearly lost it when he told questioner during role out everything wont be perfect but would be good if she concentrated on the 95% going right.

Decent and encouraging briefing tonight. Why do idiot questioners ask when we will be back to normal!

 

[KZNSeagull]

Mother in Law went for vaccination in Crook today. Very efficient, no hassles at all.

 

[Poojah]

When will we be back to normal?

 

[RossyG]

When will we be back to normal?

April the 23rd 2021. Around tea time.

Hancock said people may need to have a coronavirus vaccine every six months.

Facepalm almighty.

So they can't get everyone done before everyone needs another dose ?

 

[The Fits]

Yeah that question about 'giving granny a hug' was too much.
Also the one about asking for an expected death toll for Spring, seemed pretty distasteful- it's fairly easy to work our best and worst case scenarios.

Come on now, 'tea time' can be anywhere from about 4:30 in the afternoon to 7:30 in the evening. Can you not be more specific?

What are we paying all these so-called scientistés for?

"Johnson says the government was told about the new variant on 18 December. It went into the new tier measures about 24 hours later."

He's just outright lying. It's incredible really. People will still defend him.

Pretty sure this has been proven correct. Have you got evidence that they knew earlier?

Maybe in the north but, for us Southern Brighton fans, teatime is pretty specific, about 4pm

Absolutely, Hancock first spoke about it on the 13th/14th, https://www.gov.uk/government/speeches/sharp-rise-in-coronavirus-numbers-and-a-new-variant
Supposedly they'd know about it for a 'few days'.
Johnson lied today.

It's what they call a twofa, saves time

Exactly he was really good and how he kept his temper with some of those people interested only in playing gotcha, and doing their utmost to be as negative as possible.

Wow, that’s EARLY. I’m still down the pit at that time.

Any news on the free ice cream?

Yes, go to your local supermarket on capitol hill and take one

 

[Neville's Breakfast]

London only, sorry

 

[Stat Brother]

London only, sorry

Fair enough, they deserve it more than the rest of us.

 

[Fungus]

Heard it was about the armed forces assisting with the roll out

Yes. It's an arms race.
