COVID-19 — Coronavirus

[55yr old teenager]

See I wonder how people are selected. If it's age then an 89 year old should be vaccinated first. I would have thought they'd have been given some indication but they've heard nothing. I doubt there are thousands made it over eighty in with but I might be wrong.

My mum has dementia so maybe that why she has got

She also has dementia so maybe that's why she has got it so quick

It could be, sorry to hear that, awful illness.

My Dad has dementia too, but hasn’t been given a date yet for his vaccine. He’s 77 though so must be a combination of age and underlying conditions in determining priority?

Updates for posters:

Andyhinch Cheshire East is sadly tracking Stockport still and had another awful day

243 cases - nearly double the recent normal.

Total cases 11, 757.

Pop score up 63 (double highest before) to enter the 3000 club at 3060.

Weekly Pop up big as you would expect from 280 to 311.

Sorry to be the bearer of such news but several places in GM including Stockport are right behind you.

The first place in Manchester to start vaccinating was Wythenshawe and they were starting with the over eighties I believe? This was mooted at starting well over a week ago yet I've seen and heard nothing since. My parents live there and are both in their eighties yet haven't heard a thing. I'm wondering exactly how many people over eighty are there in Wythenshawe and how are they rolling it out, if they have started.?

My Grandad is 85 and lives in Baguley and has been told it’s being done alphabetically through the severity and age groups.

So he’s ‘V’ and they aren’t up to that yet.

My mum is 82 with lung cancer, but has been told she’s in the 2nd round of GP slots, so late Jan. Goodness knows who’s in round 1!

Well my parents are C so I'm surprised they've not been contacted yet.

Bloody hell yes.

As I have posted before my best friend of many years is 88, in heart failure needing regular treatment, with severe genetically inherited asthma that killed her son from a severe attack when only about 30 and who spent last Christmas in hospital with pneumonia and sepsis.

She was told straight away she has to wait for the Oxford vaccine as it was too risky to get her anywhere to have the more difficult vaccine we have now.

Two weeks ago she was informed it would likely be next Tuesday as they were expecting the Oxford vaccine to be approved today and were setting up to go with that from next Monday.

But no words on it being approved so far.

My mum is due to have her 2and vaccine on 7 Jan.

My dad is the same date, they live in Glossop, but their surgery is in Tameside so they both (mum not heard a date yet) have to go to Hyde for theirs, even though Glossop cricket club is across their car park, and is doing vaccinations, so they could both walk there (100 yards).

Next door neighbours mum & dad & in laws have all had their vaccines in Hyde . Hopefully from Monday vaccines will get ramped up at my parents doctors

No, FOM can be suspended in emergency. For example, France did that last week. Austria did during the refugee crisis.

Ah right. Whether we would have been able to for 10 months is debatable.

Its an unwritten law that you never thank someone with Nickleback. Why be so mean ?

 

[roubaixtuesday]

Watching the news.

Zip from anyone in uk govt.

Sturgeon on telling people to stay home at hogmanay.

UK govt is completely absent at a point of national crisis.

That would be an ecumenical matter

The issue is more to do with travel (within U.K. or foreign), and then not quarantining as per rules/simple understanding.
Cummings and other muppet MPs have a lot to answer for, by their unleading by example.

The local social distancing would help, as would mask wearing in public places.

But the main thing was to stop the spread... and stopping the spread is to do with travel and non familial interaction.

once that genie was out of the bottle in the summer, it was (to the vast majority of healthcare) inevitable that we’d be in the shit come winter.

it was obvious to me (completely non healthcare), as the numbers ticked up from the summer.

Your original post was not a debate about how closing borders at the outset would have benefited.

it was about the current situation.
