“..the govt target is too somehow survive until the end of April....” :-S

Why is the rollout so slow ? Some or all of these
a. government hasn't paid
b. pharma companies behind with production
c. resources - medical staff + locations way short
If there is not a rapid improvement then there will be a disaster with infections/deaths utterly off the scale. That the poss. of that is real is evinced by the panic measure of 12 weeks for 2nd jab and school shutdowns.
imho the govt target is to somehow survive until the end of April when the weather warms up and the virus starts to lose potency.
Right now they are losing on every front. Given that even the current motley fools cannot want an unmitigated disaster.
So it looks like big pharma has over promised and there is no realistic NHS logistics plan.
The success of any large project does not lie in the hands of the generals, ministers, CMOs and bureaucrats. It is in the hands of the sergeants, WO1s, staff nurses, junior GPs , teachers and so on. Right now these people are not being supported but are denied resources ( and vaccinations ) and villified. It all sounds too much like an organisation expecting failure and spreading the blame.

You can say that again, Rollo.

My thoughts exactly, JoyLouise!
The UK doesn't begin and end in London, ie lock down the North, but not London, despite them being in the same tier, because of the hospitality industry - as though there were no pubs, restaurants etc. in the North.
This faffing around not only confuses schools, it also affects children's well-being - are they, or are they not, going to school?
Do parents need to get stuff in for sandwiches at school or lunch at home?
Employers need to know as well!

Typically. '... another nice mess you've gotten me into.'
Some London Primary schools not to re-open on 4 January.
No London primary schools to re-open on 4 January.
Next up (once the government realises that Covid is causing other Tier 4 hospitals to become overwhelmed):
No Tier 4 primary schools to re-open on 4 January?
Once someone switches on the light in the brain and realises that the virus crosses tier borders:
No Tier 3 primary schools to re-open on 4 January?
Again, when the light dawns (it takes a while for some people to get their brains into gear and even longer for some to think ahead):
NO primary schools to re-open on 4 January?
If I were a primary school employee, I'd throw all balls into the air in horror at the ineptitude of those who represent us in Parliament. Surely they don't really think that county borders confine the virus? Where are the voices representing constituencies?
If I were a local authority education director/manager I'd step in quick-smart because the rise in cases of coronavirus requiring hospitalisation is not going to be confined to London and the South East, is it?
No one wants to see children's education suffer but it already is isn't it, as children are bouncing back and forth between school and home to isolate. In this instance, the prioritisation of physical and mental health has to come first. School hours can be made up if the government makes some attempt to retain the goodwill of teachers which, at the moment, seems to be depressingly, and deservedly, low.
The government's consistency seems to lie in its ability to make last-minute changes that affect the lives of its electorate. Just who is running the shop?
