It is disappointing, my other half was volunteering at a vaccine centre today and they were still bringing elderly people in for jabs. Now there may have been a specific reason for them only turning up at this late stage but it did still surprise me.Bloody hell. That's disappointing. You have to question if we will get out of this is so many don't have the vaccine, in addition to children.
some people were fearful of it early on and are hopefully coming forward now the efficacy and safety concerns are not materialising. As long as they get done that's the main thing.It is disappointing, my other half was volunteering at a vaccine centre today and they were still bringing elderly people in for jabs.

Large swathes of families who come from or who family other there who travelled back and who live in large households.Delta introduced in higher quantities to the North West by travellers coming from India or affected areas?
Starts there (Bolton) and spreads outwards, it'll also likely start declining there before anywhere else too but that would be dependant on a number of factors. Scotland in a similar boat to the North West.
A friend of mine has both parents in a care setting in the South and it’s costing £10300 a month!It's quite unbelievable that Care Homes don't pay a suitable rate for workers when taking into account what they charge residents. My mates Dad was in one until September last year when he died at 88 years old (he'd had Covid but that wasn't the cause). He'd been in the home for many years, my mate had power of attorney over his finances and watched his bank balance reduce from 300k to less than a tenth of that. It was around 3,500 per month at the end, over 100 per day, it's a disgrace the staff are not given decent pay and conditions.
DensityAs I have said before on this thread, I would think it likely many more from London would have gone to India as more than 500k of people with Indian heritage live in London. It's the largest ethno-national population in London. That's twice the size of Bolton MBCs total population.
There must be other factors involved.
Just to be clear, there is a bit of a trope going round that Asian people live in communes at the moment, as it fits a transmission story that people are using to attempt to make sense of the current covid spikeLarge swathes of families who come from or who family other there who travelled back and who live in large households.
It’s well known that “household” transmission is the highest (duh!) and one positive can be 12 in some households versus an average household size of 4.something.
London is nearly ten times as dense as the North West, population wiseDensity
That's a lot but I can believe it 100%.A friend of mine has both parents in a care setting in the South and it’s costing £10300 a month!
my brother is 63 and because he hadnt been to the docs for years they deregistered him but also lost his records and despite trying to reregister they cant find his records so wont jab him.hes rung 119 111 but cant get any help off any of them.he wants it but the incompetence of his docters is staggeringIt is disappointing, my other half was volunteering at a vaccine centre today and they were still bringing elderly people in for jabs.
