Wtf now?

Hospitals screwed already?

Ah. Press conference. With the scientists to explain how they managed to finally get through to Johnson that we are fucked and that he was being a dick and needed to close the schools and start another lockdown.

The data bit explaining last night's announcement. Not a new announcement.

A scientist in the Times said that while they were testing the vaccines they would already have been given to people exposed to mutations in the wild and it worked on them. He was cautiously optimistic.

@RedToothBrush probably both!

As in yes we are fucked, next slide please

@NotSoHappyNewTier

As in yes we are fucked, next slide please

This is how fucked we would be if we'd continued to listen to Gavin. This is how fucked we are going to be now. This is how much less fucked we'd be if Boris had actually listen to us. Oh wait they can't do the last one can they?

A press conference 🤯

to all @RedToothBrush at least 70% proof, of course!

Not funny but this did make me laugh!

Tier 6?

If you ever had any doubts about the effect of UV and the assimilation of vitamin D3 in the bloodstream with respect to serious covid 19 outcomes, here's a graphic of the UK's major spikes in local authorities versus dates. I think it's sorted for latitude, but you wouldn't have guessed it because the virus has behaved just as a seasonal virus should.

The more northerly the latitude the sooner the UV levels decrease to stop vitamin D3 assimilation, the sooner the coronavius spikes.

Here's a similar effect on a European scale.

Mother nature leaves her tracks. We can either choose to ignore them, disbelieve and doubt them or actually use them to help us.

Is this press conference tonight expected due to us being put into lockdown? Like a more thorough explanation of the reasons why? There can't be anything new/worse surely

I wondered this.. thought it's odd that Boris is back already, but presume it's just to get some slides out to explain why. Though I do think it's strange that Kier Starmer is due to give a televised statement at 7pm?! What's that about?

Eh? Is there another one tonight? Christ, I can't keep up.

And back to daily updates - jab by jab! Not exactly appropriate language Boris!
