Many workplaces aren’t safe but the gov would rather fine two people having a walk and coffee

Does the needle have to go into a vein?They are prepared by someone properly trained.
It’s the jab itself which can be administered by someone newly trained which is as simple as stretching the skin a bit and putting it in.
It doesn’t need to go in very far. Indeed, too far and you get bone not muscle.
No, muscleDoes the needle have to go into a vein?

i was surprised to see the Pound shop, Costa and Waterfields open yesterday. Not sure a coffee and a Pie are essential. The government need to do this properly for a month.

That's Luke Shaw fucked then.No, muscle
Just under 1m first doses were done on Friday and Saturday combined, unbelievable numbers which equates to nearly 3.5m per week. Hopefully the supply is there and these figures can be kept up for next eight weeks meaning that by mid to late March a further 26m ish people on top of the 6m + so far will have had 1st dose
give it to gordon

I am shielding but before I started shielding we were told to have the fortnightly 'flow test'. Before starting the next fortnight of work , than test again. So have a flow test ever fortnight.
The two lads have been texting me be cause they have been told to come into work and go from work to get the test and than come back to work to wait for the results.
They think for the sake of an hour of work they should only come into work once the results are known.
This to us makes sence, but it doesnt to our line manager. All we have asked for is a policy so we know what to do. How hard can it be to have a policy for 6 people ?
As an ex manager this sort of incompetence really winds me up, its not rocket science. For the sake of peoples health waiting for the results !. We were told to take the tests in work time so every booked within the first half hour of work thinking come in once the results are back ( normally within 30 minutes ).
This team like lots of others have been working hard all the way through surely being an hour late once a fortnight shouldnt be a problem for the managers in there nice warm safe houses !
It now appears that only the young lads are going for the flow test and the two older members of the team arent having them done ! So only 50% are being tested. I suggest that the lads only work with each as they dont know if the older members safe to be around. This is madness only half the team getting tested fortnightly.
On a side note I have just been taken of the cancer pathway by the hospital which is great , but not sure if that means I have to stop shielding now. Or if I still shield because of the chemotherapy cream I used on my head and the skin cancer cut out of my head a few months ago ! . But I am of the cancer pathway for my back passage I still have to go back for a full colonoscopy to check it all, so of the rapid pathway. ! I tried ringing my docs but they are so busy, my missus just says go by the government letter and shield till the 21st feb you deserve a rest. I might but so do lots of others.

Apparently if stock is there, and not been taken up by the priority list it has to be used up before it expires. The message from NHS/Goverment is "NO VACCINE GOES TO WASTE", so that's why your seeing some groups get it before others. Papers try to create dramatic headlines like "Student gets jab beore medic" but it's not always true. It could be transporting the vaccine to where the medic is or vice versa might cause vaccine to expire.Well I'm gobsmacked my doctor's surgery has just called and offered me the covid jab. I thought I'd be way down on the list but there you go.
Imagine all the no-shows/anti-vaxers/mental health issues/infirm/no longer living at address etc etc etc. Vaccine supply will keep coming in but for people that don't show up it cannot be kept, it gets used even if it means grabbing a 20 year old who's come in for routine appt, and offering that jab in their arm
