My Dad lives in Wakefield and it is Sandal rugby club on the outskirts of Wakey mate
Thanks pal
Ah ok. Manchester rugby club has been the venue for Novavax vacinne trials so is already set up for delivery. Just wondered if they were using it for the real thing.
We keep seeing the 50%+ figure quoted but as soon as most of the vulnerable are vaccinated then deaths should fall quickly as these groups account for the vast majority of deaths. Hospital capacity will remain constrained throughout the year though by any number of moderate/severe cases in the unvaccinated age groups so that's the main threat really.
she just had her results through, she's positive, so isolation here i come
It beggars belief that such educated people in charge cannot see the wood for the trees
Educating people does not necessarily make them intelligent.
In my experience, old vulnerable people are frightened of going outdoors at the best of times, let alone in the middle of the night in winter when the driving conditions will be far from ideal.
Hospital capacity is the main reason why we can't just allow everyone to do what they want until every group has received the vaccine. The reason why is whilst the younger (age <50) population generally won't die many are still hospitalised.

Totally agree, the most academic person I met was a complete numpty

It's a fact that the majority of people admitted to hospital are not in the most vulnerable groups, they'll survive but they'll still need care. Many of these people won't receive the vaccination until the summer.
If we can vaccinate the whole population by autumn then indeed we can then do whatever we want but that requires a very high vaccination rate, one which we are miles off yet.
There's a calculator below which estimates when you'll get it based upon a more likely average vaccination rate. At 32 the earliest I'll get it is July running possibly into October where I wouldn't get the second dose until near Xmas.

The vaccine queue calculator for the UK estimates where you are in the queue to get your COVID vaccine based on your age, health, and job.
If the government can get rates upto 2 million as claimed then indeed we'll be back to normal by late summer.

Another factor often overlooked is the immunity that may already exist in the population. It's reckoned that 1 in 50 have COVID today and a much larger number will of had it previously (if you could include unreported mild/asymptomatic cases).
