100 - 200% ENTIRELY possible.
Latpulldown and myself have had (and probably continue to have) our different views.
Sure, more than able to speak for himself.
To clarify: I said that the current vaccine program while going well was "roughly on track to achieve that first 15m target by 15 February.
Latpulldown was saying the program was going far better than plan.
We stand 4 days out and I stand by what I have been saying on that matter, we are roughly on plan (a little better).
I also stand by my position which differs to Latpulldown that the government will not be opening the whole economy pretty much same time as schools and that although (as expected) all numbers are moving the right way, infections, hospitalisations, deaths, number vaccinated ALL need to improve a LOT before we are likely to see economy fully open.
Restrictions re social distancing, mask wearing I still believe are not going away in next month or two.
If all this turns out to be wrong I will say how I got my view wrong.
Scotland's First Minister today and UK government officials seem largely to be saying Foreign travel this year highly unlikely or at very best just too uncertain at this point.
Number of other things they have said over recent days/weeks suggest they feel/intend for it NOT to be a everything back to pre covid working anytime soon.
Time will answer things as it often does :-)
