Stop the bloody stupid system of changing non offensive words to childish ones.

I don't know how they came up with this metric, but their goal is to have 164 confirmed cases of infection from the thousands that have been given the vaccine.

Furlough is supposed to be in place of making a position redundant.
You aren’t supposed to furlough someone and then hire someone else to keep the role going (as I understand it).
And even if an employer can find a way around the rules, which they usually do, it’s not always going to be an option as you can’t just slot someone into a role without training etc which takes time and money.
If the government recommend shielding for the vulnerable as per first lockdown, whilst the rest of the country carries on as normal, then they need to have some kind of income protection scheme in place for those who can’t work but can’t be furloughed. And legislation to prevent employers discriminating against or sacking the shielding while they are absent. That’s the only way it could even begin to work.

Not under @scaramanga plan - her choice is quit or run the covid guantlet
Reluctantly he may a point - we may get to a point where it's focus on the lesser collateral damage; I just don't agree we are there yet, and today's vaccine progress backs that up

So we've finally reached the point where having kids sneeze on us is the way forward....

Quelle surprise.
With the amount of asymptomatic people and apparent non effect on youngsters, something must be lurking in the background.
I refer to my earlier post about the 'primary school petri dish' ...if anywhere builds up post coronavirus antibodies it's those bloody places.

That's a reasonable answer.
The issue is it requires the kind of societal discipline not present in the UK
That progress still probably means a year at least before we have vaccines in an significant numbers and probably 2-3 before widespread immunity.
Locking down only works if you have a solution the other side of it.
I can't remember the last time I couldn't have distanced myself from someone if I wanted to. It's not hard to do.
Other people may continue to spread it ingst themselves but if I were at all concerned I could avoid it.

Well the Aussies have done their damned hardest with lockdown, they have (we assume,) a robust track and trace system in place, so the test is set, if infections get out of control again there, we need to reassess the approach.
