I know they're turning people away at some hospitals in the Netherlands (know someone who works in one)... I know that's a different country, but still not an unlikely scenario here I guess. Utterly depressing.

I fear this will happen. And with everyone having camera phones it could get very ugly indeed.

there is no plan B, i cant begin to imagine someone going down with this and they cant get ventilated,that must be the worse nightmare,i was in A&E not to long ago and people rolling up struggling to breath its scary,,its going to be a case of fingers crossed its not us, thats all we can hope forSo what’s the scenario when hospitals likely reach the overwhelmed’ stage. Will they refuse to send ambulances out ? Will they deny entry to people getting in ?
What is the back up plan.
What does people having a phone to do with with seriously ill people having no hospital care?I fear this will happen. And with everyone having camera phones it could get very ugly indeed.

Stop faffing around, get as much of the vaccine out there, get everyone capable of giving a jab on the job, open 24/7 if supplies are there. Get people who want to take a chance on the vaccine to sign a non litigation agreement. Those that won't sign are entitled to wait as long as they are happy to do so. I'm quite sure most of the vulnerable population would take a chance, politicians and bureaucrats are messing with peoples lives, just do it.

how far are we off the peek now it cant be far as were two weeks on from xmas, i know its not a science but they must have some sort of estimated date.1 in 50 has been said at where we are at with infected so will this settle at some point to around 1 in 8 for example then begin to ease off with the lockdown like the last time or is it simply going to run rife until the vax kicks
I'm ok. Very bruised and aching but at least the dizziness has gone. Thank you.Hope your ok mac.

Listening to the amount of traffic going past our house just now compared to first lockdown, and the fact when I took the dog out yesterday and saw 4 wessex power vans parked outside a sub station with all occupants stood next to each other, no masks, no social distancing, happily blethering with each other, I sadly suspect your last line will be accuratehow far are we off the peek now it cant be far as were two weeks on from xmas, i know its not a science but they must have some sort of estimated date.1 in 50 has been said at where we are at with infected so will this settle at some point to around 1 in 8 for example then begin to ease off with the lockdown like the last time or is it simply going to run rife until the vax kicks
