Covid-19: Prof Jonathan Van-Tam says 'no immediate return to normal' - BBC News

Professor Jonathan Van-Tam, who is known for his metaphors, is asked about where we are in the penalty shootout - after previously describing the coronavirus situation in those terms.

In November, after the announcement of positive results from the vaccine trials, he said: “It’s the second penalty now, that’s also gone into the back of the net, so we’re starting to feel in a better position.”

Today the keen Boston United fan says he will give a football analogy to describe the UK's situation, saying that in the first half the away team "gave us an absolute battering" and they got a goal, but in the 70th minute we got an equaliser.

“We’ve got to hold our nerve now, see if we can get another goal now and nick it. The key is not to throw it away at this point as we’ve got the draw."

To explain what he means, he says we need more vaccines, but we also need people to realise these “aren’t an instant ticket” to get us out of here.

He adds that people need to continue to follow the guidance, whether or not they have had the vaccine.

“You may have to be patient until late spring on this one," he says.
