What would really encourage vaccination worldwide is if the NHS can produce a graphic in a fortnight's time showing to the world that UK hospitalisations of over 80s have plunged. I really hope to see that. Vaccine uptake is critical.
Yes. What an endorsement that would be.I keep banging on about it but I think (and hope) that's where Israel come in. If they start to see good results in terms of decreasing hospitalisations over next few days as they hope, it should be shared far and wide as possible.
Perhaps someone should tell him that he can bill it a 'world beating' border closure - as in taking 10 months to get around to doing it - longer than the rest of the universe, let alone the world.Sturgeon has said urgent talks are ongoing regarding closing international borders. Possible announcements soon.
Do it now Johnson ffs.
My mrs has volunteered through St. John’s to administer the vaccine. She’s needle trained through working for the NHS for 15 years (she left a couple of years ago). 5 weeks after getting in touch she’s still waiting on a start date. Lots of emails zoom chats etc but the same old problem that it takes forever to get things up and running! I bet plenty have knocked it on the head as it’s unpaid work at the end of the day
We’ve been administering the vaccine for a couple of weeks at least mate. The advert was on St. John’s for weeks beforehand as everyone knew it was coming so plenty of time to get people on board in my humble opinionLet's be fair here. We only got the vaccine a few days ago it's not like we knew it was coming our way several months ago was it and could get everyone trained in time.
thanks, it must be hard.I work in hospitality.
Managers are going into the business infrequently for admin tasks, video calls etc.
Pubs/restaurants can open for takeaways only, my place isn't as who wants a takeaway steak!
Yes, I'm bored shitless. I tend to go into work once a fortnight just for a change of scenery and to dispose of any items that are out of date.
Yes, we are on furlough. Some waiters/waitresses struggling as they rely on their tips to survive.

In data awareness?That’s 30mins work.
Dentists and military medics will be aufait with most of the mandatory topics and will generally opt to take the assessment straight away.
Sticking a needle in someone’s arm and pressing a plunger isn’t the most difficult task in the world but when something goes wrong you’d expect the vaccinator to be able to manage the situation.
Fair play lol busy working and blue mooning soz @Fred_Quimby i see where you were coming fromWhoosh
I'm ok mate.
Criticism where it's due and credit where it's due.
Also I won't be measuring vaccine rollout performance against the mid Feb date given by BoJo.
I regard it as an aspiration and will be pleased if we get close to it.
That’s part of the mandatory training for most folk working in the NHS. What’s your problem with 1/2 a days paid training to allow someone to administer a potentially fatal vaccine?In data awareness?
Really?
Local ice cream shop has just announced on social media how delighted they are to still be open and all the measures they have in place bla bla bla.
Frustrating as fuck yet there's nothing I or anyone can do unless the government step in and specifically tell them they have to shut.
Just one example of many businesses finding loopholes to keep their doors open. Food = essential. Ice cream, fuck off. Take some personal responsibility and we might get out of this mess.
This is going to be similar across the country which is why I don't think this lockdown will be anywhere near as effective as before, going to be lots of stuff open that weren't last time.Local ice cream shop has just announced on social media how delighted they are to still be open and all the measures they have in place bla bla bla.
