Re: Coronavirus
The imported vaccines have now arrived and are being kept in a secret location, before being distributed to hospitals.
Wonder why the secrecy? Perhaps they're afraid that people will storm the building to get a shot in first, or they fear that anti vaccine groups will destroy them??

The US has reported more than 3,100 coronavirus-related deaths in a single day - a record for the country.
The 3,157 deaths far exceed the previous record of 2,603 set in the spring, while the number of Americans in hospital with COVID-19 has risen past 100,000 for the first time and cases are topping more than 200,000 a day.
The latest update shows more people died with coronavirus in one day than died in the 9/11 terror attacks.

More deaths than 9/11 in one day, and its happening at about this rate every day.
Still Trump didn't have anything to say about it. Probably went for a round of golf, got his hair redyed and had another moan about the election..... He's a busy man.

Lockdown type measures are down to State level control, not Federal. NY state kicked up a big fuss at the merest suggestion of Federal restrictions.
Things that are under Federal control are being done, eg financial support, funding of vaccine development.

Presumably the latter. There’s been idiots out there setting fire to mobile masts after all.
Equally, announcing it in public would make it a target for terrorist organisations or other states that wanted to sabotage our response.

Re: Coronavirus
Yup. A store of covid vaccine, especially the world’s first and so far only properly approved covid vaccine, is the very definition of a high-profile target. Every wingnut on the planet would likely want to do something to it, and keeping the location secret protects it against the ones who might have sufficient motivation and resources to try.
(Russian state actors would be most likely to have both motive and resources for a bit of basic sabotage. The narrative of incompetence in the Western response would be domestically useful, especially as they’re apparently taking big risks with an inadequately tested vaccine of their own in order to claim first place).

Have you been watching your James Bond boxset again? 
The vaccine is being stored in the UKs most advanced deep freeze facility ( i.e.the Basingstoke branch of Iceland. Don't tell anyone though )

Re: Coronavirus
No surprise there. This government has a history of over announcing and under delivering.
10 million jabbed by Easter more likely. 
Expect at least 6 more months of lockdowns and tiers.

"Must result in a deal".
Surely that's not an essential journey if the negotiations are that far on?

Seems like it's just for deal-signing ceremonies.
I wonder if Barnier's team qualify for this criteria?
