It therefore results in A) reporting a nice big number each day and B) forces the reader to enter into a bit of maths, and a bit memory jogging in order to deduct yesterday's total from today's new one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume they were / are trying to force the UKG hand which is 100% correct not to accept their crap as you keep telling us we should do with the SG. If there is a physical supply issue, then you can't force their hand as there isn't any product. If it's an agreement and they say "we're going to give you less as we need it more" then that's different. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Jean King Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Worst journo question yet (and that's a low bar). Asking at a Covid press conference for a separate press conference for non Covid questions as he has non Covid related questions he can't ask at the Covid press conference.

My point isn't that the task is difficult, rather why set the reader a task at all? They manage to announce deaths and infections on a day-by-day basis, so why is it not being done here? If 16k vaccinations were adminsitered yesterday, just say it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's an agreement and they say "we're going to give you less as we need it more" then that's different. Why is there a physical supply issue? We keep being told there are enough vaccines already in the country to hit the initial 15m target. The fact those vaccines aren’t actually ready to put into peoples arms is chronically poor planning and forecasting. Scotgov by the figures posted above and the numbers of people that have been jagged also have a stockpile. They should definitely be in peoples arms instead of in a fridge as they are ready to go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All she said was the document was removed at the behest of the UKG as there were issues relating to the document being too transparent (exact phrase) over future vaccine supply data. I doubt 5he figures in the official SG document were plucked from mid air. There must have been UKG indications given. Clearly the UKG don't like such information being put into the public domain. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ayrmad Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 I'm more interested in knowing which types are getting the jab rather than the numbers atm, if we're doing lots of the difficult ones 1st then the numbers will seriously ramp up once they've been jabbed, certainly been going round doors in some areas near me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She should have told UKG to piss off STV's Gordon Chree says the vaccine rollout plan published last night has been subsequently deleted. Mr Chree says it does not appear to give any target date for all adults to be vaccinated by and what practical steps are being taken to avoid wastage of the vaccine. The first minister says the vaccine plan has been temporarily taken off the Scottish government website as the UK government raised concerns about the level of information about supply of the vaccine that was included. She explains the UK government has concerns about commercial confidentially and discussions are ongoing to address them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Marly Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Of course life will never return to what it was like in 2019. Football crowds will of course return if it was a place bad for transmission of a virus like this it would also be a hot bed for flu, it's not. What do you mean who would go if you might catch your death? Lots of people have sadly died in football stadia, usually because of a crush it doesn't put people off in the same way people make hundreds of risk based decisions every day. As for social distancing for life, there is no chance! It would be illegal to have sex with someone you don't live with so either your population falls off a cliff or inbreeding rockets. Not a problem in Fife but the rest of you might not be so pleased.The population of Carnoustie falling off a cliff would probably prove quite popular just now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're talking about the same people yesterday defiantly believing that we are going to be able to dish out 400k vaccinations per week from Monday, now instantly believing that the SG have, in less than 24 hours, essentially walked back from that because the UKGov think it's "too transparent" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thereisalight.. Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 22 minutes ago, craigkillie said: The document which was on the Scottish government site last night, but has now been removed (presumably to fix a couple of errors?) had the following: 1. Residents and care home workers, over 80s - 325k 2. Patient-facing health care workers, lab staff & social care staff - 230k 3. Over 75s - 190k 4. Over 70s, extremely vulnerable - 390k 5. Over 65s - 280k 6. Unpaid carers, those with underlying health conditions - 1.01m 7. Over 60s - 280k 8. Over 55s - 330k 9. Over 50s - 340k That gives a total of 3.375m in their nine priority categories. I take it that would mean it would need almost 7mill doses to have vaccinated these groups. Going to be a long old slog if only 16k are being done per day. As an aside I don’t think we should be waiting for those in the 50-60 age group who are healthy to be vaccinated before easing restrictions 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
