        Here you go:

        First Minister Mark Drakeford said on Friday that a “further national effort” was needed to create the “headroom” needed as cases of coronavirus have started to rise again after the end of Wales-wide firebreak.

        Mark is only looking at the larger picture. The brainiacs have already said that this will result in more deaths. I've not changed my approach - sod the politicians - I'll make decisions which I think best protect my family.

        Vaccine is the only way that I'm going to start to relax. The stakes are too high.

          The problem is not your First Minister, clanless, but the people in Wales, like in England and Scotland, who believe they've can do what they like and disregard the basic rules of keep the social distance, wash their hands and wear a mask........they are the reason why the infection rates are rising again.:dunno::doh::wallbanging:

            I agree. Aunt Sally happened to spot a neighbours son getting into a car with one of his mates, not even a mask. I guess he hasn’t heard the news...
            As an aside, it’s good to see that there doesn’t appear to be any widespread panic buying. We haven’t witnessed any empty shelves anywhere we’ve been. We will be in tier 3 on Wednesday, but apart from playing golf, we will carry on as we did in the lockdown. We won’t be having the daughter and grandchildren round for Christmas dinner, sadly :sad:

                We're also just using common sense and keeping away from people. From Wednesday it will be possible for people to visit us in our garden, distanced, so we are likely to have a friend or two drop by for a chat - by appointment so it doesn't clash - if the weather is OK. :blue thumb:

                  To be honest, I've not noticed any difference, I went to the plumbing shop this morning, then the paint store, everything is open gave B&Q a miss as the car park was full.

                  Garden Centres are open I believe, supermarkets, so I say what lockdown was that, even got more corona cases now than before the lockdown.

                  Now going into tier 3.
                  Only difference, I can get my hair cut.:biggrin:

                      Just a thought, I wonder if all those people that have flouted the regulations are also those that panic buy?

                          Can't see it working. :noidea:

                          First of all the government would need to supply doctors and vacc. centres with masses of paperwork for them to fill in and give to people and those that don't have the proof would soon be able to get fake ones online. :sad:

                            Neither can I, however that utter Gobsh*** Piers Moron is banging on about this on TV and social media and has vowed that he will have the vaccine live on TV. Folks are effectively being bullied how to think here and if you dare to say you have concerns you are labelled as an anti-vaxxer loon.

                            What next, yellow stars for those who don't comply?

                              As for that idiot on the right, she is in the public eye and particularly so for younger folks - - she was fully aware of what she was doing and knew that the worst punishment would be a £10k fine which to her is the equivalent of £1 to me. Two fingers stuck right up at us peasants.

                                Until all the findings and reviews are published we should all have concerns :blue thumb:. When they are published, if they are :th scifD36:, then we have a better chance of making an informed decision.

                                That's why the vaccination hasn't been released yet. There are also likely to be some 'at risk' categories that may find it totally not recommended.

                                I have concerns about lots of things (including the sanity of some people that I see in town who are standing around in groups without masks) but I like to study the facts and make my own decisions.
