I think it's unlikely, just wondering if anyone has heard similar? Translation: can I go home now please? I have heard that also over the last week .ridiculous non essential construction still operating. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats how my local practice in Perth always does the flu vaccinations They on those Saturdays don't take any other bookings and open up on a Sunday as well its then like a production line and very fast (according to my Dad, im I've never been) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's little chance I suggest of restrictions easing at all in the next 6 weeks or so. At that point, I think you'll see some areas being allowed an easing. Probably more rural areas of the country....the islands, Highlands, D&G, The Borders etc. But for those in urban areas, it would surprise me to see level 4 restrictions last until April. Is it really going to take 4 months to vaccinate the elderly/vulnerable? As that’s the only “real” reason they could justify the majority of local authorities still being in Tier 4. If it does take 4 months to vaccinated the groups most at risk then that’s a fcking abomination that needs addressed by NS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s tons of non-essential work being carried out by tradespeople. As always it will be the less scrupulous that will be ignoring the rules. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sets a dangerous precednet for the next major crisis. That’s the most worrying part for me, just how easy the majority of folk are accepting the rules (and the constant changing of them) without question. You could honestly tell these people the sky was going to be changing to green to help save the nhs and they’d believe you.

There is categorically a post-covid syndrome of some sort, particularly in regard to people still having chest issues like breathlessness, chest pain etc a long way down the line from the actual acute infection. I am seeing on a daily basis significant numbers of patients attending with these symptoms 8,9 or even 10 months after getting infected intially. Some are bad enough to need admitted through ED. Call it long covid or whatever you want but it does exist and is not the same as post viral fatigue. Anything viral can leave post viral fatigue. As I’ve mentioned I had it due to chickenpox as an adult. Anything lung related can leave long term problems as well. My uncle had pneumonia years back and it left scarring on his lung and problems breathing as well as fatigue he’d never experienced before. I’m not sure why people are reacting shocked as if they’ve found life on Mars at the thought of a viral infection leaving long term complications. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't combed through every page, but is anyone actually saying that? I think the issue is that the media would like people to think huge percentages of those who get Covid will suffer 'Long Covid' - would you say that is categorically true? Millions of people have had Covid in the UK - if some have chest pains months later, how do you determine that it's the result of Covid? If some are depressed or have anxiety, how do you determine it's due to Covid? I'm not doubting for a moment that some people struggle to shake off some of the effects, but media scaremongering over the numbers won't help us get back to a more normal situation in which people make rational assessments of health risks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you - this is what I was after yesterday, and although I don't understand a word of it, I see graphs with downward trajectories which can only be a good thing. The next thing with Israel will be to see how quick, and to what extent, they ease restrictions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freeman just made statement.562,125 doses allocated for Scotland.365,000 of these are with GPs or health boards.155,025 doses of AZ and 42,100 Pfizer are either in transit or storage before being sent to Scotland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven W Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 JF saying 24 hour vaccinations "entirely possible". And this could be end of Feb / beginning of March. This needs to happen. Demand from the public is there for it, and if its "entirely possible" there really can be no excuses. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
