Mutation in simple terms and is not known if the vaccine will be effective against it.
A spanner in the works?

I rest my case. an obscure channel many don't even know exists, never mind know where to find. the government have given up.

They just don’t it warrants interrupting the BBC1 schedule when most people these sets are capable of finding the News Channel or their website.
London going to Tier 3 isn’t the end of the world

So if you want to blame anyone you should blame the BBC but personally I think they’re got it about right

I would like to add my bit to a couple of pages ago - I've seen a lot of complaints on here about people not wearing masks (and in my area nearly everyone is complying) but I'm wondering if some of you think they are supposed to be worn all the time when that is not the case at all and has not even been advised. Wear a mask in shops but everyone is entitled to take it off when just walking the outdoor streets.

Not “interrupt BBC1” important :-)

Prudie, Surely if you are outside and you are in contact with the general public doesnt common sense tell you to wear a mask?

[Prudie]

What do you mean by contact? (and I know this is the rule in Spain). We have never been told we have to wear a mask in the street.

[ichkeria]

That’s right you do not have to wear a mask outside.
Outside AND in close proximity to people might be thought advisable but is not the law
