Yes, I was 'chatting' on another site where people were saying theyd been able to choose their vaccine. I asked a lady how she'd managed that. This was her replyBury are planning to introduce pop up vaccination sites across certain areas of the borough. One of the sites where my wife volunteers at is closing in a couple of weeks, so think that they are targeting specific areas as Bolton have done where the take up hasn't been as good.
I think that the way figures are going up and down over the last few days might be due to the vagaries of the processing at labs, which in some ways means that it makes sense to look at the 5 day figures rather than react to a single days' results.The GM good news was in some ways mostly thanks to the very big drop in Bolton & Manchester. And it was not shared equally in other GM boroughs. But most places are down on yesterday. Some are still up big week to week despite the overall wk to week fall.
And those are the ones that need watching right now.
Stockport, Salford and Rochdale probably had the least good day in that regard.
Bolton down 114 on day and 93 on week to 127
Bury down 12 on day but up 13 on week to 33
Manchester down 95 on day (huge fall here) and 9 on week to 59.
Oldham UP 3 on the day (only rise) and yet down 1 on week to 21
Rochdale down 16 on day but up 13 on week to 27
Salford down 46 on day but up 19 on week to 31
Stockport down 22 on day but up 17 on week to 31
Tameside down 13 on day but up 5 on week to 17
Trafford down 22 on day AND 5 on week to 15 - BEST PERFORMER OF THE DAY (Yet Zoe now has here on watch!)
Wigan down 22 on day but exactly the same a last week on 31.
You will have to ask dominc cummings on that oneWhat about Klute?
Shutting the borders comes at a significsnt cost.We're in for another lockdown at this rate. It's also only a matter of time before we have a vaciine evasive varient too and we truly are fucked.
Boris should have completely shut the borders. How such a small island can't stop this virus boggles the mind when you think of the likes of Australia and New Zealand have managed by doing just that, shutting the borders.

The virus moved from animals to humans and is now going through a phase where it is optimising itself for the human host.
I would like to know what happens in Autumn with this Autumn booster shot. The Vaccines minister mentioned this on ANdrew Marr show but Marr never picked him up on this. What is the nature of this Autumn booster? If we can vaccinate with a variant based vaccine then that will be ideal.
American, Canada, Germany, UK, China are all going to finish vaccinating their population (except maybe children) at the end of June. Presumably then there is a huge global vaccine supply that can be deployed to where it is needed. At the same time we need progress on these variant vaccines.

It will be 5 in a year for me and many others I suspect as I will be having my flu jab as this year that will be a real problem if we are all acting more nornally this winter. The precautions we took for Covid all but eliminated flu but it will be back with aveangance you can be sure.i have some fears about the boost jab ? can it be to much having 3 jabs in a short space of time ?
hearing good stories about the one jab vaccine maybe that is the way forward
