Why do we have well over 200million doses on order which for a population of 68million means three doses for everyone in the country, which in reality will be lots more because a fair chunk will refuse to have it.

Do these massive orders allow the manufacturers to ramp up production quicker? Are we stockpiling in case the effects drop off ( do they have any idea how long they can be stored ) so they can use any excess as a bargaining tool elsewhere?

I do wonder if people's patience for lockdown is starting to wane though (nobody was breaking any rules AFAIK, but just gives the impression less people are staying at home).

Apparently his family took him to Barbados over Christmas/NY.

I think I've made my philosophy clear before, but I endeavour to do the right thing, and I believe that most others do too. I'm certainly not going to start judging others harshly, and I'll keep believing that the vast majority are using their common sense.

I don't know Revs, but I know mik, and certainly consider him to be one of the more (for want of a better term) grown up members of the forum. I simply don't believe he wouldn't be careful, and trust him to do the right things even if it's not 100% to letter of the law.

Duncs is correct.

I presume Rich has a go at anyone he sees not wearing a mask whenever he's out.
