That's it - proof that lockdown works, incontrovertible. So now we stay locked down until 2025, just to be sure.
I put it down to condom/tampon reuse.

Remember folks, Nicola & Sir Keir Hindsight 'demanded' that we join the EU Procurement & Vaccination Programme
And yet the UK has vaccinated more people than the entire EU
All thanks to Brexit!

Still waiting for an apology from China taking into account this has crippled the world. Or did I miss it.
I'm hoping that the government take a look at aiding the health workers with the ability to prescribe Ivermectin at the correct dosage based on several positive studies across the world. It is also advocated in the BMJ. Best thing is, it's effective and cheaper than Remdesivir. $2 (£1.50) a tablet compared to £350 a day for Remdesivir and more effective.
That's great but herd immunity from vaccination will not be achieved without mass take-up of the vaccine.
Refusing the vaccine is not to exercise individual choice, it is damaging to the population as a whole.
How cohesive is our diverse society? We're about to find out.

How do we know that YOU haven’t been brainwashed? Done all your own research and studies have you? Forgive me for respecting authority and listening to people who have been in their field for decades, as opposed to an uneducated guy with a keyboard and an agenda, who wants to be seen as a maverick - as if your stance is so “original”.
Where did smallpox and polio go? Where did regular large outbreaks of mumps and measles go?
Well good luck in with future passes of Covid when you're older, you may just wish you had when it sends you to hospital and you end up with permanent lung damage.
You really need to look at the history of epidemics and vaccines - unless you are medically unfit for it you should take the vaccine for your sake and that of the rest of us.

That is entirely up to you, but you will likely not be able to go abroad, or do anything that requires proof that you have immunity. And nobody is being brainwashed - we’re sort of slowing the spread, maybe - we just want something of our old lives back - to live properly, without the fear of infection, being ill, or worse.
there is clear Evidence from all over the world that Boris and his cabinet are guilty of Mass Manslaughter of UK Citizens
They have gone out their way to totally ignore all proven evidence of successfully
containing corona virus time and time again .
this is Gross neglect of duty while in office

Successfully containing the virus ? Oh like the time they did it in the 60s or 90s. What a dingo.
guilty of people dying from everything other than covid you mean yes? This 'deadly' virus that 99% of people survive
Removed
Probably un-PC to say but multi culturalism means that certain sections of our communities are refusing to be vaccinated - certain towns and cities will suffer more than others.How we deal with that is open to debate - but it is important that it is honestly acknowledged as a problem to be addressed...
When 99% of the country who get Covid will only get mild flu symptoms (chris Whitty video mid 2020) and get over it you have ask the question what the agenda is here?
Now the most at risk (Over 70s) have been vaccinated the Virus is dropping off quickly. Rather strange for a supposed Pandemic Removed

New vairents are the problem. The new California mutation may evade the vaccine stop flights NOW.
67% of under-40s with no underlying health issues who displayed any symptoms of Covid infection were found to have "significant damage" to at least one organ (source: BMJ). 25% had significant damage to more than one organ. You DO NOT want to get this virus if you can avoid it. This is a health time-bomb for many. The focus should not be on mortality rate alone.
We need to do the over 50s and clinically vulnerable, and then two weeks for the vaccine to work. Nearly there, but not quite. Its easier to be patient if you are in one of those groups.
Are you a virologist?
It's not strange it's science also people under 70 do get it you obviously do not

Apart from those people who have been told by medical professionals that they must not have a vaccine everyone else has a duty to have one.
It is a case of having empathy for the humanity around you. It’s selfish to expect to be given back all the freedoms we have missed if you don’t do your little bit in return.
Have the jab, you’ll probably save a life!

well with France now hitting 25'000 cases a day and rising fast
but don't worry our ports and borders are wide open with France so we won't miss out
on another lockdown .
strange the UK Test all lorry drivers going through France from the UK
But not one of them tested coming to the UK another Boris failure to protect UK

"The British people should never allowed the first lockdown. They should've ignored the Government and there advisors. And carried as normal.
But No the British followed like sheep. As they always do."
Hope there's another, really strict lockdown... if only for the dischord and rioting that would probably ensue. I love conflict, me.

You don't have to say anything.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
Trying to silence the voices of "idiots" you may disagree with seems a strange request; this is "Have Your Say" after all.
But if that is your opinion you have as much right as anyone else on here to voice it (irrespective of IQ).

Just shows how incompetent BoJo the Clown and his band of Circus Idiots are..
Its dropped, thanks to the lockdown, but is still double what it was last March. If he had lockdown last October when case climbed steeply, we'd been out of lockdown now and tens of thousands of lives lost would have been saved.
When this is over, BoJo the Clown and his Circus idiots have to be held accountable.

There seems to be quite a few anti-vaxers on here. Ignore them; if you are worried about the vaccine watch "Ask The Experts", the video the BBC highlighted the other day of a seemingly endless stream of 'medical' people spouting their conspiracy theories and lies about Covid and the vaccinations.
Once you have realised what a bunch of nut cases they are you will be begging for a vaccine.

Does anybody know what is happening? It wasn't that long ago we were told there were potentially dangerous new mutations. India's infections fall off a cliff and suddenly so do ours. Government has not come out of this well. Well done for the vaccine roll out, but the communication is appalling.
Good - despite what the right wingers say, we do follow the rules for our own good. NOW do not listen to the tory right wingers the CRG who as the ERG screwed leave up, don't let them screw up the advantages the UK vacxcine industry, acting without Johnson's dithering, have brought us
virus is prevalent amongst ethnic groups because they do no usually have the privilege of posh middle class housing. Living in your detached or semi-detached house with private space all around you is very different from families crowded into terrace housing often a whole family in just one or two rooms bumping into each other every few minutes. You white folks are very safe and comfy
Remember this is literally less dangerous than seasonal flu. The difference is there was no treatment or vaccine available at the beginning. That's it. I don't see anybody calling for mandatory seasonal flu vaccinations! Then again, those people that dismiss others as "selfish" for not taking are "selfish" by their own metric as they probably don't have that jab annually themselves.
Removed
Literally not true.
One flu strain killed more than 30 times the total world covid deaths in 1919 (somewhere between 50-100 million). That's why, in the UK at least, those most vulnerable get an annual preventative jab against that year's mutation.
I have a WHO source that shows infection fatality rate in Spain was a median 0.27% across 52 locations. Now compare that with seasonal flu without the jabs and other varying treatments we use to protect ourselves...
Why should a young healthy person sign up for a lifetime of unnecessary vax
Brain washed ?
It's clearly stated that we may need further top up vaccines. It's the best hope we have.
It's a good job we have the Pharma companies and the clever Scientists.
I just live in hope along with many more.

Boris says we want to test hundreds of thousands of people/day.
He also says we cannot unlock until we are at under 1,000 positive cases per day.
At the false positive rate of up to 4.3% (https://www.ons.gov.uk/aboutus/transparencyandgovernance/freedomofinformationfoi/falsepositivityrateofthecovid19pcrtest), hundreds of thousands of test/day would see us NEVER slacken restrictions.

Having read BMJ, Lancet etc and associated rapid responses to concerns from clinicians & vaccine experts, I have decided to not giving my consent to an unproven, risky vaccine which has only temporary approval and which has no prior regulatory approval history & well characterised adverse reactions long term/short term. A mask, gloves & goggles will do me, cov-19 will be about for 10 years+ easy.
England is a strong nation (the strongest per haps!). Let’s pull back the collective prepuce and show our courage. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger - i.e. keep calm and carry on! If someone coughs, take the opportunity to breath in their cough. Herd immunity is the way forward. Be strong not fearful. B ritain, B est, B strong!????

Probably because the people that made it there ancestors were slave owners.... I dunno
Because they are not white - and too many of them blame white people for all their self inflicted problems.

So do things only exist if you, or your friends, see them? Perhaps you can club together with your friends to buy an electron microscope so that you can see the SARS-CoV-2 virus for yourself.
I seem to be in a minority - but I think that the government is doing and absolutely first class job at controlling the virus. I am a bin man, by profession, and so have been on the front line in battling this crisis for the past year - and my honest assessment is that Boris Johnson and his team have done a super job. Well done, chaps.
In WW2 my uncle spent most of it battling through North Africa, helping to save civilisation from the horrors of Nazism. Like so many others he did not see his children until they were 3 or 4 years old. His wife would be overjoyed when she got a letter. My other aunt & uncle spent the war wondering if a V2 was going to fall on the house. Please don't complain about lockdown & your hurt feelings!
You probably would if you were mature enough to understand.

Good for her. She's just getting ready for when an independent Scotland rejoins. I suspect the rest of the UK may not be far behind.
Once vulnerable have been vaccinated 'cases' are irrelevent; in fact the more the merrier as it builds 'herd immunity'. Also important to remember statistics can be very misleading due to false positive tests being mislabelled as cases, hospital admissions and deaths not actually due to covid.
It is a SEASONAL bug. All coronaviruses are seasonal. It will end here, then begin again in the southern hemisphere. Nothing to do with the vaccines, nothing to do with lockdowns. People seem unable to count. Just look at the curves, here, Sweden, Florida, California. Everywhere, the death curves are the same.
Right then Boris, you said you were going to act on data, well it's coming at you from all angles and it's nearly all positive and it seems to be global.
