Cases down 4 days in a row now. Well we know this isn't due to the lockdown, because it only started 7 days ago. We all know the media and government won't want to talk about it either.

Priti Patel said at the start of her briefing that just over 2.4m people have had vaccine. Yet Boris said yesterday we had hit 2.6m people few days ago ITN reported 2.2m had been vaccinated. Seriously!? Which is it Boris and Co! I thought we were supposed to be vaccinating something like 100k per day to hit this Feb target? Pretty important information this! Priti is famously poor with numbers. Priti Patel said at the start of her briefing that just over 2.4m people have had vaccine.

Boris said 2.6 million vaccinations to 2.3 million people (so 300k have had 2 jabs) About 150k today so that's just over 2.4 million Boris and Pritti are both right, it's just that some people don't listen properly sometimes

Allow me the opportunity to add an alternative story for your perusal. A good and elderly friend of my parents followed the lockdown rules to the absolute letter, she has lived in fear since March seeing nobody, visiting nobody and not stepping a foot out of the door, incarcerated by the 42” flat screen dictator positioned in the corner of her living room. She was rushed into hospital on Boxing Day having had a nasty seizure and diagnosed with cancer which had ultimately spread to her brain, she lit up like a Christmas Tree. A week later whilst in hospital she tested positive for Covid 19 and will unlikely see the month of February, this poor old woman’s final year was of isolation, no friends, no family and nobody there to hold her hand as she crosses the bar. This woman would have given anything to have spent Christmas Day with her family, if she had had some semblance of life since last spring her cancer would have been detected, she would be supported by her loved ones and she would have opened her presents with her family on Christmas Day. Covid can be caught in any environment, in the supermarket, in the hospital, in the post office or at home sharing the joy of Christmas with the family. I wouldn’t burden anybody with guilt and neither should you. Yep. Nearly responded with something similar myself, although not quite so severe. My grandma and grandad are 91 & 89, confined to their home since March. They are both of completely sound mind, bar the usual batshit mental old person stuff. Since lockdown, my grandma’s legs have given up since she hasn’t been able to walk anywhere and she now has to walk around the house with a frame. On top of that, she was diagnosed with heart failure last month and, unfortunately, it’s only going to be a matter of time for her. To think they spent probably the last year of their lives together holed up, having my sister deliver a Christmas dinner to then honestly makes me so sad. Yes, they were getting older and more frail anyway but Covid has certainly sped up that process for the both of them. My grandad, too, has lost stones in weight through worrying about how ill his wife of almost 70 years was and how much longer she’ll be around. We didn’t see them over Christmas but would I blame anyone else for doing differently given the circumstances? Would I fuck. I've liked this in a not because I like it way if you know what I mean. Sad mate. Very sad. There are no doubt plenty of people who've experienced similar to you and the more extreme example you quoted. My experience is milder still but my mum has almost certainly lost the plot during the last 12 months due to the whole situation. She just isn't the same and has gone massively downhill. She's not near deaths door but she's all over the place and just not the same fit, confident 67 year old she was. My father in law, a great bloke, total social animal, very very intelligent, is a nervous wreck, terrified to go through the door and scared of his own shadow. Its sad. Really sad. Lots of older people, I'm sure, would rather take their chances than live like this. Much love and best wishes to your grandparents.

I’ll see your Priti Patel and raise you a Diane Abbott. 😊 Helen Whateley isn’t far behind either She is absolutely horrendous. Arguably the worst of all. Not seen her for a while so guessing they've stopped wheeling her out for interviews.

Lots of older people, I'm sure, would rather take their chances than live like this. Much love and best wishes to your grandparents. No worries mate, I get you. That’s why I find it so difficult when people so easily label others as selfish or that someone should have something on their conscience. I know we’re lucky that we can work and get away from it for a bit, but in the case of people like your mum, who I guess is retired, they have been scared half to death not being able to do what they normally would and having to cope and readjust. I hope she and your father in law can both get back to their normal selves once this is all over. I don’t expect it will be as easy as that, but I sincerely hope they can become themselves again. I am in no way in any sort of denial about the seriousness of it, but it’s remiss to ignore the lives it has affected as a consequence. That will run into the millions. Thanks for your wishes. Much appreciated.

I'm confused......Grimsby have been fined because players did not follow social distancing at their training ground, manager Holloway admitted playing darts with his players at their training ground!!!
So how is this a problem, when players are not going to be able to follow social distancing during a game, and presumably during a training session?

And another...zzzz 'petty digs' or making a point to what I see that I don't agree with from people's comments? I thought that was the whole point of this place? Or do you have to have had no life and 10k posts to be a 'real' poster on here? Is this page some clandestine, secret handshake brigade, freemason shit that if you disagree you get hounded out?

I can only presume the problem is the darts will have been indoors. Its indoors where transmission occurs most/easiest.

Kids can't be kept off school forever and if they are the super spreaders everyone says they are then you would have thought a vaccine would help. But they can't have it Vaccinating teachers is a valid point but doesn't stop the kids spreading amongst eachother Vaccinating all of the vulnerable won't stop kids spreading it to their immediate family who may not be in any of them categories What happens if once Boris and his mates hit their vaccine target and they open the schools, cases go up again? It never ends does it

The vast majority of games are not attracting a crowd of any kind though, why punish the many for the few? You've got an entourage of people travelling around the country with every game. For every prem game you've got about a dozen pundits. Those crowds at Marine could be super spreading. Shut it down for a month at least.

So those who have been able to be at the front of the vaccine queue get to go on holiday and attend live events while the rest of us cannot simply because we haven't yet had the opportunity to have the vaccine.
What a massive 'fuck you' that would be to those who have sacrificed so much.
Until people have actually been offered the vaccine, this health passport idea is bollocks and incredibly divisive.

You would have to think it is less dangerous than kitchen fitters, painters and Sky fitters etc entering multiple homes on a daily basis, or millions of people going to work in offices and factories everyday. They are just another group of workers, the difference is they are plying their trade outside. The Marine crowds were a one off and we heard the same super spreader comments when the people went to beaches or took to the streets for BLM protests, the super spreading outdoors simply never happened. People being together indoors is the problem, always has been and always will be.

I get the idea long-term, but not in the short-term when the majority of the population hasn't even been offered the vaccine.
Basically saying the elderly can do what they want now they've been vaccinated while the rest of us have to wait our turn.
