Here we go again. Absolute joke. At the eleventh hour families looking forward to spending time together will have their hopes dashed.
Remember; all for a virus so deadly you need a test to confirm you have it.
A virus that 99.5% of the world will not be bothered by.
At this point I have no words
You find it funny?
I have family in Kent and London.
We are not laughing. The new variant is 70% more transmissible. New data fresh out. Infection is skyrocketing. In London and SE England.
I hope you folk wake up and take this seriously.
For all his faults, and he has many, this is the last thing Boris wanted to have to do.
Please stop with the denial and the sneering.
Viruses mutate. The more it spreads the more chance of it mutating. God forbid it should happen to the US. Please take this seriously.

The vaccine just reduces symptoms, or stops the recipient from feeling sick.
There is no guarantee it will stop the recipient from spreading the virus.
So I don't know how the vaccine is going to help that much.
Scientists involved in oversight of the Operation Warp Speed COVID-19 vaccine trials are tempering excitement about efficacy, noting that the studies haven't shown yet whether the products can prevent transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

To my cousins across to pond. Just say no. Say it in mass and with a loud and clear voice.
Unlike our American friends who still live in some kind of archaic western movie, we have strong leadership here and believe in our government 100% thank you very much.

It's not all about you. Over here we like to act responsibly and with consideration for others.
Especially the elderly, those with existing conditions, compromised immune systems etc.
We can do without selfish idiots at the moment.

People in the at risk groups should isolate, everyone else that wants to get on their life should do so. That's where I am with it.

Maybe Boris Johnson should lock himself away instead of the country. I personally see much benefit to that arrangement. What a fraud.
At least his approval rating has dropped from 66% to 34% in under a year. Might not be PM for much longer, especially given the brewing disatisfaction from the tory backbenchers.

He did. When he had Covid.
