These people are such crooks. Never seizes to amaze me.
Somewhat unrelated but I’d love to go to the French Laundry. Thomas Keller is a genius.

I would have said that they had/have a lock-down, but I was told in this thread that those don't work, so I don’t know.Man what on earth has Belgium done to drag their numbers back so drastically?
He is so out of touch. As if people are "soldiering on" , fecking idiot .You have to laugh at that gormless twat Matt Hancock. Now he’s asking why people in Britain think it’s acceptable to go to work when you’re sick? Maybe it has something to do with the appalling sick pay people get or the fact their own civil service issue out warnings once you pass 8 days absence in 12 months.
Struggling to understand how this makes any sense at all.
Covid-19: Three households can mix over Christmas in UK
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-55064962
I don’t ever post ITK stuff, but this has been relayed to me by someone who has the inside track on this, here goes:
Oxford Vaccine trial volunteers experiencing more side effects than expected apparently. Chris Witty apparently wasn’t very optimistic about how it’s looking so far, is what I’ve been told. I’m sure this will leak eventually and honestly I’ll take a permanent ban if it turns out to be bullshit.
I’d be happy to PM the mods as to who I’ve got this from.
Hard to believe the FDA could approve one of these within a few weeks and patients and essential workers could be getting shots before Christmas.
Leveled off in this decade, but leveling off for Keller is still a level unattainable by most.Somewhat unrelated but I’d love to go to the French Laundry. Thomas Keller is a genius.
Is it true about the 1/2 first dose in the Oxford vaccine being a cock up, just reading through Twitter and it’s being mentioned.
Another mistake in a long list since March.This "mixing three households for 5 days" in the UK at Christmas seems like lunacy. All these vaccines are on the point of being rolled out, and people can't just wait for a couple of months? I know people want some normality, but surely this is a mistake?

Why is it 5 days and not just 3? Just make it 24th, 25th, 26th if you have to. Honestly I don't get why people can't just give up on a big christmas for once for the health of the country, but whatever, some people seem desperate, but generally I see quite a few people are equally as miffed as me.
One day should be enough. I just don't get the desperation over christmas, it's one day. Wouldn't people rather have an open January?
I think a lot of people would be happy to lock down in January if that’s the price to pay to enjoy Christmas with extended family. Grandparents and grandkids reunited after months apart at a special traditional celebration. Surely you can see why they might feel that way? January is a grim, boring month anyway.
I get it on a certain level, but it just adds to the feeling we take a few steps forward, then back. But maybe with the vaccine on the horizon it doesn't need to be as much of a concern. I know plenty who still will keep it small this christmas, but I just think people will go overboard. This country has proven all year, give an inch, take a mile.
If the thesis is "giving up January to spend the holidays with (extended) family", then sure I might be willing to do that too. The thesis is "giving up January in order to spend the holidays with (extended) family and potentially infect them with a (for them deadly) virus" though, so I think I'll still pass on that one. Have an outside walk with your grandparents if you're so dead set om seeing them on Christmas.I think a lot of people would be happy to lock down in January if that’s the price to pay to enjoy Christmas with extended family.

Isn't anywhere in the country, so people will be traveling about as well? We are spending Christmas on our own, we have taken that decision for our own safety.Why is it 5 days and not just 3?

Seeing my family is all well and good I guess but the real crime here is still not being able to get a pint of Guinness at Christmas.
