and yes Chris Whitty should be knighted, or made Baron of the Royal Slides or something.

@CoffeeMuggins

God, I am looking at the signer now. He is absolutely brilliant.
I love the one for Scotland. Smile

And the one for bullshit.

How long does it take for the boosters to boost and kick into action ?
By 7 days for good protection.

The signer is stealing the show!

SLH2003 · 15/12/2021 17:20

Chris whitty laying it down on the Tele box. Take note antivaxxers. You're going to hospital if you're not careful.

@herecomesthsun

My husband thought Boris was segueing into Churchill-speak, we're going to jab them on the beaches, etc.
Churchill the nodding dog?

He did make me laugh when he signed the BSL for 'large spike'.
Suranjeep · 15/12/2021 17:21

Whitty:
South Africa say it’s not so bad, but don’t listen to them, keep up the fear.

Remember last year:

“If you walk past someone in the street YOU WILL DIE”

“DEATH IS KNOCKING AT YOUR DOOR”

“YOU WILL LOSE LOVED ONES”

He is such a contrast to Chris Whitty's unemotional style.

Did you listen to his explanation at all.

I remember that lots of people died last year, yes.

We have 150k deaths so far.

Is that not enough for you?

CoffeeMuggins · 15/12/2021 17:23

Thank you, Chris, for actually clarifying this whole thing with how mild this may or may not be. So sick of hearing the "but the south african doctor says...!!"

trappedsincesundaymorn · 15/12/2021 17:23

@ArblemarzipanTFruitcake

I love the grim expressions on the signer's face.
Probably thinking "of all the jobs they could have booked me for it had to be this one, ffs. And he can get to fuck if he thinks I'm going to sign any fucking waffly Latin words!"

Yeah you're totally right, I remember Chris Whitty saying those exact things word for word Hmm

MarshaBradyo · 15/12/2021 17:24

Who here volunteers?

Making me consider it once dh stops work so he can do cc

milly74 · 15/12/2021 17:24

with or of?

PestoSugarPlumFairy · 15/12/2021 17:26

Is that not enough for you?

People always die.
150k died WITH covid not necessarily OF.
People have had enough of their lies. While we were locked down last year they were having parties. They were NOT SCARED, ask yourself why??

Moonpiglets · 15/12/2021 17:26

Please can someone explain what Chris meant when he said “if it halves then it will still double and then we’ll be back to where we were before”? (Or something similar to that)

It seems he was making a very important point but I got a bit lost at that point

(And this isn’t a piss take question, I really want to understand what he was explaining!)

HeronLanyon · 15/12/2021 17:27

Whitby most clear and Unequivocal I’ve ever seen him. Partic good at dealing with over analysis of some data and why that is and why that is dangerous. Helpful.

SpeckledlyHen · 15/12/2021 17:27

Well, was that it? Get boosted now.. Oh, and if you have other issues like cancer etc - just be patient.
