Do we think this will be a vaccine update, a change to rules or just waffle?

Waffle with some news about the vaccine. Best news ever though!

DominaShantotto · 09/11/2020 12:31

Ridcully82 · 09/11/2020 12:34

MarshaBradyo · 09/11/2020 12:36

Hopefully vaccine good news

Beebityboo · 09/11/2020 12:37

Ooh I hope it's good news about a vaccine. Feel like the country needs a bit of a morale boost.

Bushola · 09/11/2020 12:38

An apology for all the misleading graphs and reducing of restrictions to reflect that?

Allmyarseandpeggymartin · 09/11/2020 12:38

Alas alas alas - but we’ve potentially got a vaccine Smile

DianaT1969 · 09/11/2020 12:39

Pfizer vaccine timeline, faster tests used in Liverpool, possibly announcing that care homes and the shielding will be receiving boxes of vitamin D. Plus lots of waffle, stay at home unless you have to go out.

PurpleDaisies · 09/11/2020 12:41

Boris loves good news.

Kit19 · 09/11/2020 12:42

It’ll be the vaccine stuff. He’s desperate to be associated with some good news

chore · 09/11/2020 12:42

All I want for Christmas is a vaccineGrin

Allmyarseandpeggymartin · 09/11/2020 12:44

@PurpleDaisies He really does! I bet he’ll be dressed as Santa

kittensarecute · 09/11/2020 12:50

Unless its saying all restrictions are to be lifted with immediate effect so that I can hug my friends and act and sing again and enjoy living again, I couldn't care less. Am done with all this covid shit.

Bushola · 09/11/2020 12:52

@kittensarecute ❤️

funkyfruitloops · 09/11/2020 12:55

good news would be nice. I’ve never felt so bleak and hopeless in my life. Had a real long cry about it earlier today!

if anyone needs a chat - pm me x

TheSeedsOfADream · 09/11/2020 12:58

It'll be waffle piffle piffle wiffle vaccine, stay at home, bravo, probably a bit of likening it all to being in the trenches, gung ho, wiffle piffle. And he'll say kick the vahrus (I've become increasingly fascinated by his random pronunciation of words, vahrus, cronavahrus etc)

Unsure33 · 09/11/2020 13:00

Maybe he will name and shame who fed the false figures to him to force 4 week lockdown .

funkyfruitloops · 09/11/2020 13:06

Next slide please

tinkerbellla · 09/11/2020 13:08

Vaccine 💉 🙏🏻

Viviennemary · 09/11/2020 13:12

Waffle. Stay safe stay at home yaddy ya de ya. Same old nonsense. We got the message. Those who didn't never will.

OhYouBadBadKitten · 09/11/2020 13:13

stay strong, together we can fight this, mountains to climb yet there is hope, great minds, christmas, going to award everyone in the nhs a free iceland mince pie blah blah blah.

We might be told off for taking the idea that we can drive to exercise a bit too far (having seen local car parks while on foot and beach photos from friends who live about as inland as you can be)

BrightYellowDaffodil · 09/11/2020 13:16

Another one? Clearly it's Boris Briefing Bingo again - points for any of the following:

"Alas";
Faux-Churchillian rhetoric;
Reference to saving Christmas;
The appearance of the Thing One and Thing Two of Misery: Whitty and Vallance;
Dodgy stats;
Misleading graphs;
"Stay at home";
A Blitz Spirit-esque pep talk;
Heads Shoulders Knees and Toes Hands Face Space.

annabel85 · 09/11/2020 13:16

Hopefully a potential plan regarding vaccine roll out.

nosswith · 09/11/2020 13:16

I expect it will be an update on figures and something about the vaccine. The best news would be an announcement of Mr Johnson's resignation, but that is not going to happen.

I'd like the restrictions on outdoor exercise such as tennis courts, golf clubs and outdoor swimming to be lifted.
