Jareth Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Lol, Big Sam is all concerned about Covid and wants to shut the league down - he's been such an impartial and passionate champion of Covid circuit breakers these last 12 months. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted December 30, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted December 30, 2020 One for @villakram, BBC have just interviewed a young doctor in a London Hospital. In addition to the fact they are being overwhelmed he specifically said what was surprising him was the number of young people with no previous Medical conditions. Still as long as Facebook and Twitter tell us it's only the old who get ill I can only assume he's making it up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a massively important message which needs to be got out. Also said in addition to the normal regulatory procedures they have had significant external scrutiny from various other sources. He also reaffirmed that the first jab gives enough protection to stop the disease getting serious. Amazing 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Turns out the Swedish prime minister was out shopping on Dec 23rd too at busy street in central Stockholm, no mask of course. He needed a spare part for his electric shaver... And Dan Eliasson who is director-general the MSB or The Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency went to the Canary Islands to spend Christmas there even thou the government has strongly advised against any air travel that isn't absolutely essential. Guess he really needed that tax-free Kahlua. Dan Eliasson is a walking disaster who has already done piss poor jobs running the Swedish Immigration Office, the Swedish Social Insurance Agency, as National Chief of Police and now the MSB - Civil Contingencies Agency. He's ruling party royalty (or he's sitting on dirt) so he always gets a new top position. Next I imagine he will go to the elephant graveyard that is ambassador someplace outside Europe, it's where incompetent Swedish politicians are sent to get out of the limelight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StefanAVFC Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 I've had the offer to get the vaccine soon, as my fiancee's mum works in a hospital and can get me added to the list. For now, I'd rather others get it but it's reassuring that I know we can get it whenever we need it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trekka Posted December 30, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted December 30, 2020 Boris is on at 5PM. Expect announcements on the Tiers, news on school attendance and much jubilation at the Oxford vaccine approval. Birmingham heading into Tier 4? I guess we'll find out at 3PM or thereabouts.

And it just keeps going. Magdalena Andersson, Swedish minister of finances was in Sälen, a popular Swedish skiing resort over Christmas. Something they have strongly advocated against. No mask of course. Fwiw there has been a massive outbreak among staff at the resorts in Sälen during Christmas. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
