[quote:Anonymous Coward 79788860:MV80NjM0ODA1Xzg0NDEwMzA4XzlEQTgzNDc1] [quote:Anonymous Coward 79473361:MV80NjM0ODA1Xzg0NDEwMTg2X0IxNEQ0NzE0] [quote:Anonymous Coward 79788860:MV80NjM0ODA1Xzg0NDA5MTEwX0M5ODQzRjUy] Strange fact, stock market was down about 7-8 percent on all vaccine produces I was monitoring - Astra Zeneca, Pfizer, Biontech, Moderna. It looks like someone expects vaccine does not work and investment was useless. Insiders probably. Another thing - brits don't take it personally, it is just fear and panic fromn EU, also Turkey, Saudi Arabia and other countries are freezing the border. By tomorrow morning probably all the planet will lock the border with UK (via Airways where applicable). This mutation is too big to be ignored, bringing everything back to square one or worse. [/quote] The whole world locks us out, what the fuck do they think is going to happen in these next 48hrs? The new strain has been out a week now so why the sudden shut down a week later? [/quote] Don't underestimate the incompetence of the politicians. Stock market knew it from Monday last week, politicians had to be told by Boris Jonson. The 48 hours is just to gather more info as they dont understand the situation. The virus can even be good news, if is less deadly and spreads more then its vaccine replacement. They juts don't know so they want more info. [/quote]

...Usual volume through Dover alone is 9-10,000 lorries a day going in both directions although often slower on a Sunday. Haulage industry chief tells me “Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse – disaster on top of disaster - I fear for supermarket supply chains...2/

Although freight coming from France is allowed through, haulage chief says “many will be reluctant to make the crossing to UK if they can’t get back given there is already congestion" End
