Well the North Pole has not reported any cases as of date. Also, He we will be travelling over U.K. late at night when everyone is asleep.
When he goes down the chimney he can put on a mask at that point. Rudolf may not be able to wear a mask while flying as Santa needs his red nose to guide the sled.
Didn't you know Santa has delivered the first pile of (properly frozen) vaccins to the UK? He got a shot himself first of all. So ... no worries! (Really?)

I was thinking that Rudolph could wear a shield instead of a mask so his red nose could guide Santa's sled.

something dodgy here, uk produce a vaccine, no one else has yet, and the uk vaccine isnt yet approved by the eu or who yet the government has waved any responsibility if anything goes wrong and expects us to queue up to take it, i certainly wont be, id rather have the virus cos then i know im safe and going to live.
vaccines need years of testing to determine if its safe, uk needs to wisen up here, were being tricked. the testing system didnt work either and they expect us to lap up false stats.

Biden and Harris will take it too once Fauci says its a go. The issue in the US is there is only a plan to produce the vax and get it to the states. That's like saying your electricity goes as far as the street but not into your house. Until there is a place to get needles in arms none of this will actually matter. Might take until late January in the US for things to start changing.

Waiting for Fauci seems a little dumb once you have a full panel at the FDA approving.

At the current run rates the expected US death toll from Covid 19 in DECEMBER will exceed the 2017/2018 flu season death rate. Right now the leading cause of death in the US is Covid. No way to sugar coat that. Said differently, that is a stadium full of fans at the 2019 No Filter tour forecasted to die in December. Wear a f'in mask.

It is a new virus, and we don't know everything about it. Not a lot. Still, it has been around for a year now. We do know one thing: Many people die unless we do these three things, in this order:
1. Keep a distance of at least 2 m / 6 ft
2. Wash our hands
3. Wear a mask whenever we are close by other people
The number of covid-19 cases, and the fatality numbers, grow rapidly in every country were these rules are not in place, unfortunately. It will take may be six months or more to get the vaccines out to people. Meanwhile, hopefully, people understand this is a bad, bad, bad virus.

Most of us do and others are trying to be Darwin award candidates. Following all 3 precautions is no guarantee one avoids the virus but disregarding it is like playing Russian roulette. Very glad to read your level headed postings about it, now if everyone will listen.

Your math is a bit off, w/ Russian roulette, you have typically 1 in 6 chances of dying.

"Might take until late January in the US for things to start changing."
Pedantically that's completely true. One small step is far better than no steps at all.
Realistically you need a significant proportion of the population to be vaccinated, and thus presumed immune, for things to really change.
BV & others seem to quote 70%. So it's not going to be until a number approaching 70% have been vaccinated that you'll begin to see changes. Also don't forget that the Pfizer vaccine needs 2 doses, 21 days apart, and then a further 7 days for it to become effective. So a jab on 1st January won't really 'count' until the 28th Jan. A further 4 weeks delay.

To me Fauci is a very trust worth person.
I did some very recent updating/ comparing for the few people on this site who still think "influenza equals covid-19"
Just USA (sorry, Europe has too many countries, so to complex, but surely similar)
2017/2018 season : influenza 61000 deaths (worst season in a long time)
2018/2019 season : influenza 32000 deaths (normal influenza season)
2020 (so far less than 10 months : Covid-19 280000 deaths
"Eat an apple and you may die", "eat a pear and you surely die"

Unfortunately, he didn't. Giuliani, that is...
