Coronavirus (2021) thread

Where in Ashton? I'm desperately trying to get information from my 88 year old dad's surgery for when his is jab is due. They won't take calls and are not answering my emails. We both live in Ashton, he's on the shielding list due to previous heart attacks, any info would be appreciated, cheers.

She had the jab at Hyde Leisure Centre. 2nd jab this week. I know her GP is Dr Burke but no idea which practise. She is 83

Yes and that will probably be why our regulators haven’t prioritised clearing the Moderna Vaccine. Still, 5million died of a highly effective vaccine will be helpful.

Lets hope not! 5 million doses might be good though.

Thank you, I'll try and use that info at his surgery, he's got an appointment for another issue on Tuesday so could be good leverage, much appreciated.

For what it worth, my mum is 82 with lung cancer and hasn’t heard a peep. She is in Huddersfield. All seems very unfair.

I work in early years. I’d go with the nursery option. Grandparents can be a bit lax on the avoiding kissing and cuddling front and maybe don’t have the same hygiene practises in place. The one thing I absolutely wouldn’t do is mix and match. Stick to one or the other.

Think you're right AD. Ironically, my other half works in early years too and although will be able to work from home most days, her rota still requires her to come in either 1 or 2 days per week. It's a different establishment to where our kid goes. My own work is the higher risk setting of all, so the thought of me bringing it back to the little one and sending him off to grandparents gives me the fear...then again I have the concerns over his nursery staff and other kids etc.

question for those with any knowledge of the EuroMOMO representations;

the top two charts are EuroMOMO excess deaths (z-scores) for England and Wales, the bottom two are ONS charts of actual deaths in England & Wales

taking into account the different y axis units, i would say the English lines look similar. But i cannot make sense of the Wales line in the Euro data?

You cant be getting elderly and people with serious conditions out during the night

Yup. It’s a stupid idea.

if you can have 10 appropriately trained people giving the vaccine during the day and 10 at night then you can just as easily have 20 giving it during the day for exactly the same output.

Not to mention getting folk out in the middle of the night in winter is bound to result in the odd trip or fall requiring a bit of A&E treatment and anyone suffering an adverse reaction won’t be dealing with the issues of night time treatment either.

One small upside to all of this COVID shit is flu isn’t really being seen this year in our hospital

How would your customers be safe?

In any way shape or form.

BBC News just reporting Cheshire hospitals are transferring patients to Greater Manchester as Covid patients needing critical care are running out of beds in Cheshire.

Cheshire - kept out of the higher tiers and inherited the mess from places that were in them nearby as people went out seeking places to eat and drink. A stunningly obvious consequence they did not see over and over.

Yet still we persist in having tiers as Boris will not let them go.

He said in parliament this morning once the lockdown ends it will be done regionally into the various tiers as required.
