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

I'd like to thank my producers, my director, my co-stars, and most of all my beloved cat, Flopsy, and my imaginary friend Donald ...

Reminds me of Penfold (for those of a certain age!)

tootyfruitypickle · 09/11/2020 17:18

Maybe it’s a psychological thing to reassure people to have vaccine - being a bit wary at start

calamityjam · 09/11/2020 17:18

Jvt keeps using the word exciting but his face doesn't agree

Unsure33 · 09/11/2020 17:18

I think you go in with a preconceived idea.

Very little blustering . Clear message .

Hope is closer but don’t slacken off yet .

And Liverpool thanks to you all and carry on .

Biden speech good as well at least he realises covid is not political.

I like Van Tam. After Cummings little jolly i remember him saying at a previous press conference that "the rules apply to everyone"
Whitty was all i dont get involved in politics.

That why I like him too. We didnt see him for a long time after that though

Allmyarseandpeggymartin · 09/11/2020 17:19

I was going to say he reminds me of penfold!

Does he ever smile?

Do any of these scientists ever smile?

calamityjam · 09/11/2020 17:20

Reminds me of so many profs at uni lectures

SpookyNoise · 09/11/2020 17:20

Ridcully82 · 09/11/2020 17:20

Allmyarseandpeggymartin · 09/11/2020 17:21

“It is a major breakthrough” said in the delivery of a man at a funeral!

tootyfruitypickle · 09/11/2020 17:21

Love the penalties analogy

BonnieDundee · 09/11/2020 17:21

I trust JVT more than I trust whitty or Vaccine Vallance

JamieLeeCurtains · 09/11/2020 17:21

Football analogies for Liverpool there.

BonnieDundee · 09/11/2020 17:21

No difference to this wave

calamityjam · 09/11/2020 17:22

Apparently we can only understand if given fucking football analogies

SheepandCow · 09/11/2020 17:22

I've always liked pinstripe. Good choice JVT.

MercyBooth · 09/11/2020 17:22

Penfold lol I trust and respect JVT too.

JamieLeeCurtains · 09/11/2020 17:22

Brigadier JF definitely doesn't work for U.N.I.T.

PurpleDaisies · 09/11/2020 17:23

No data at all today

tootyfruitypickle · 09/11/2020 17:23

I would have gone in with - change is coming - press on with restrictions . I would t have been so downbeat as I think people are exhausted and need a lift.

CastleOfDoom · 09/11/2020 17:23

Penfold, yes!!

Madcats · 09/11/2020 17:23

The trouble is, when I see a brigadier and a PM at podiums, I keep getting flashbacks to old Dr Who storylines.

I'd be ridiculously happy if they can sort university testing by next term.
