Yep.
Still. Massively rapid development, massively rapid rollout. It's pretty damn cool that we can mobilise so quickly - it shows just what we can achieve with teamwork.

Actually that's what google AMP does so I don't think Job is being deliberate, just sharing links on a mobile device.

Covid-19: Christmas 'in jeopardy' after ban on UK travellers
Many have had their plans to visit loved ones dashed, as countries implement a UK travel ban.
www.bbc.co.uk
press searching for emotionally charged stories. When it should be you were trying to travel in a pandemic. If you managed it, it would be luck. And really you shouldnt be travelling internationally anyway. Thats how it spread to begin with
saw julie hartley-brewer tweeting her luck at being on a plane somewhere just before the lock down. Ppl have no common sense and just in their own little selfish bubbles.

Whilst I agree - these stories are still true.Covid-19: Christmas 'in jeopardy' after ban on UK travellers

We should be reporting on what people have had to lose in an effort to fight covid. We absolutely should be keeping sight on those things.
That woman who lost her husband, and wants to go see her daughter who also lost hers. That's horrible that she can't go to see them. And there are thousands of cases like that.
A mate of mine is fucked off that he can't go skiing. That's very different from the "emotionally charged" stories you're moaning about. The reason they're "emotionally charged" is because they're fucking horrible - and real.

I'm having a bit of a problem when people say it's the stupid people.
Who are they exactly? The people spreading it that dont know they have it?
The 2 million+ that have caught it?
Who?
There has been a massive outbreak in our local hospital with it popping up in wards where it shouldn't be even close, does that mean the NHS staff are a bit dim too?

Mostly the people that climb over each other in supermarkets, or don't bother washing their hands, or think Bill Gates made it all up, those sorts of people.
You know, retards. There is zero point giving them the vaccine.
You don't need to know you have it, that is the entire point. Everyone should assume they have it and every other dickhead has it. Keep contact to a minimum.
I'm alright Jack doesn't work, I'm afraid.

No, again. I think it might be a learn to read issue here.
What I actually said, quite explicitly, was that if you refuse point blank to take precautions, you're a fucking spaz and quite frankly, deserve to get it.
Others would call it Darwinism.

Yes, well done, you've caught up.
You can't eliminate risk altogether but that risk would be minimised if 50% of the population weren't retarded. Unfortunately those mentally redundant people also help spread the virus with people that do take every possible precaution, because they don't think it affects them. As a species, if they were eliminated then it would be much safer for the rest of us.

No actually you still can, precautions just lower the chances you will and the effect of more people not taking precautions is cumulative.

Or some ministers neighbor, with a company that has zero previous experience building this kind of thing, will get a billion pound contract, after a few months it gets scrapped and the next neighbor in line will get some "money spunked up the wall" to quote BoJo himself

9 months in and we still aren't doing what we should have been doing from day 1
The appetite for following the rules is getting smaller by the day, largely understandably so as nearly every week Bojo and chums come out and waffle on about some new rules that will help us turn the corner, but ultimately fail.
First lockdown, didn't go far enough, mismanaged, track and trace joke
Second lockdown, not really a lock down anyway, lifted too early
Third lockdown, not really a lock down anyway, free-for-all xmas
Fourth lockdown in the new year, way too little, way too late. Close the fucking schools!
Ultimately the blame can be laid at the doors of all politicians;
The Tories for being utterly useless and ineffective, preferring to hand out contracts like sweets to their mates rather than doing something useful, ordering cheap crap PPE that is unsuitable, laughable track and trace system, that still doesn't work.
The Scots for using it as a points scoring exercise and ultimately parroting the Tory strategy but with an ever so small change to something so they can say they are doing it differently.
Labour for being a weak opposition
All this shit so they can say "Protect the NHS" well, numbers are still rising at an alarming rate and hospitals are running out of beds, so even that aspect has completely failed. Oh and what was that cunt Hancock doing going on TV pretending to cry but actually giggling like the silly little wanker he is.
Bojo and his entire cabinet need to do the honourable thing and resign.

The first thing they need to do is fully explain that masks are of practically zero benefit and as the Who correctly advised for decades until caving in to political pressure, they just cause bad habits.
People presume its OK to congregate..get in cars..sit on public transport because the mask is somehow magically protecting them...it isnt, the virus passes through the mask with ease and fills the space.
Heres a study on surgical masks in surgery.

Is a mask necessary in the operating theatre? - PMC
No masks were worn in one operating theatre for 6 months. There was no increase in the incidence of wound infection. Keywords: MASKS, WOUND INFECTION
