Hearing a few things about leftover doses being given to randoms so they don't waste any. Reckon its worth getting my parents to head down to a test centre when they're closing? Genuinely considering it ha.

Right time right place, and why not.

Numbers today looking good. Hopefully that big push for the week @worsleyweb was hoping for! Could we see 9.5/10 million by the end of next week? Looks like we're heading for around 13 million by mid Feb. Great great effort. Nearly a quarter of the country

Thanks mate. Maybe I’ve had a paranoid day. It was Gates and Blair who worried me because they are men I respect. I’ll have a loon through the thread

Not sure I want to probe but what were they saying?
Maybe ramming home how these types of events will be more commonplace globalisation inevitably grows.
Warnings clearly ignored resulting in the shut down of the world.
To echo yesterdays's statements, time perhaps to build facilities on par with our military defences (mass vaccine factories, labs et al).

I'm waiting with real interest for the reports coming back after the covid research team have got what they need following their searches in Wuhan. Maybe it will conclude that bats are the carriers and it's not a long journey to pass down the line into humans, but what I really hope that happens is the necessity of a cultural sea-change within China (and other countries that do this) of their wet market trade. I don't know the full facts about this, but having live animals across all species, caged and stacked on top of each other, blood and shit dripping down into the cages below, I find it astonishing that the practice is normal and nobody cares about the consequences, least of all animal welfare. A cultural change can only come from government in my opinion so if they're up for it then the rest will follow, they are a compliant nation of people. The Chinese authorities were (eventually) helpful around Feb/Mar last year when they handed over the genetic sequencing to virologists and their labs. They want to help but they'll never admit to having a problem with how they roll. Or it's all the bats fault.

that’s nearly every market throughout rural Europe.

They are phoning stations mate and offering it up if they have spares at the end of the night so it might be worth a punt.

My physio said that he had the call at 4-30 for a 5 clock vaccination. They had some spare over and didn’t want to waste it . Fair play I think

Interesting! How old is your physio? Is he listed as vulnerable etc?

I've seen it in many countries I've visited around the world, can't say I've seen it in any market I've visited in europe though.

A physio doesn't sound as randon as Sips is suggesting, sounds more like a raffle system in his story, or maybe counting one in everyten people walkning past and chosing them to keep up the randomness.

The penny is dropping with me now that, as always, Mother Nature is outmanoeuvring mankind. We’ve gone from “over in 3 months” to autumn to spring and now I think we need to accept that this is going to take years. Despite reassurances I think it’s obvious that the variants are becoming vaccine resistant.& There will be relaxations of restrictions in certain areas but we aren’t getting back to normal for a long long time in my opinion.

Hang in their blue, things will improve this year, ive been there myself feeling pretty low at times and dispondent. But there is light at the end of the tunnel.

This is happening but not too sure if it’s randoms. We got the call late Wednesday evening and had the vaccine at 4 the next day. We were told it was because a batch was coming to the end of its shelf life so they were giving it to care staff. Trouble is you need the pdf ticket with a QR code just to get past security, you then need it when you see the first and second nurse. Saw people getting turned away who had forgot to bring it.
