Coronavirus (2021) thread

8,769,000 people above the age of 70
2,800,000 people working in the NHS and Care hones.
2,000,000 others who are clinically vulnerable

13,669,000 people to vaccinate in 6 weeks.

505,000 teahers to add to this list

So 14,174,000 in reality over 6 weeks.

We must be at about 1- 2 million now though.

Does anyone know what this is about?



The government delaying giving the second dose to give more people the first dose?

Interesting. I don't know much about it, the app that is and it's pros and cons. On the face of it I'd be all for it, but that opinion admittedly might change if I learned more.

There will be a hard copy, too, for those unable to be vaccinated and those unwilling to carry smartphones, so it's not only an app. The fact that there is an English version and that they've liaised with other countries, who are in agreement with it, suggests that we'll all ultimately have it- at least if we want to participate in society to the extent we once did. It will start as a means of promoting vaccination but then be used as a means of opening sectors of society and then the world.

Yes , decided last week by the scientists , second doses are being done up to three months time but one gives you good protection, with the huge increase in cases they are wanting to get as many people vaccinated with one immediately

She is being hysterical and not understanding

Yes , same lockdown as march

What about manufacturing?
I have a feeling I'll be working this lockdown but didn't last time

Yes mate. Idea is to shift second dose out to 12 weeks and give many more people the first dose as it gives something like 70% effective protection (or maybe higher?) after two weeks of first dose

Isn’t this what Blair said?

Say what you want about him but the man is very bright.

Heaton Norris, surely.

Norris when you’re buying a house. Moor when you’re selling

 

[cleavers]

no one is dieing once that’s done.

That's a hugely overly optimistic view, firstly there isn't enough vaccine at the moment, and secondly some won't take it.

We all want optimism, but tonight is not an optimistic one.
