Coronavirus good news reporting that an Israeli study shows that the vaccine is showing sterilising properties........ie reduces transmission. Big news!

Hello to my favourite people on the internet.

Crumpetycrump · 18/01/2021 22:49

Thank you for the new thread.

TeaInTheGarden · 18/01/2021 22:50

Yay for thread 6!
Great article about Israel on the last thread, thank you.
This could change everything. I feel genuinely excited about the spring.

Lots of talk of restrictions being eased by March which is great, but lots of people (doom muppets..?!) are just outright assuming schools closed till after Easter, no questions asked.
I guess people assume the worst in order to prepare themselves as the disappointment can be so terrible, but I’m really hoping and praying that if restrictions are starting to ease in March then schools MUST be first, right..?! I don’t think anyone will tolerate shops/ hospitality opening before schools again. And I say this as someone with an amazing local village pub- I love them and want them to open ASAP, just not before schools. Am I crazy to trust (??!) the government to do things in the right order....
