I’m well aware of that, and allowing pro rata for that, we are already circa 100,000 behind. Don’t worry though, we’ve managed to prioritise an Independence think tank instead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizfit Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Girlfriend got vaccinated at PRI today, said it was fairly busy so hopefully not long we have to suffer with restriction. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saying it's down to behaviour is idiocy, it's down to things like WFH Vs Commuting, quality of housing, BAME population and pre existing conditions. The council boundaries also play their part with the wealthy suburbs generally not being part of GCC which skews the figures. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elixir Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Posted at 15:21 Watch: UK vaccinations 'four times faster than new Covid cases' Video content Video caption: Covid-19 vaccinations done "four times faster" than people catching virusCovid-19 vaccinations done "four times faster" than people catching virus Coronavirus vaccinations are being carried out four times faster than people are newly catching Covid-19, the chief executive of NHS England has told the BBC. Speaking to the BBC's Andrew Marr Show this morning, Sir Simon Stevens also said he didn't think England "would have to wait until the autumn" to see movement over the lockdown restrictions. He added it would be a "balance of risk" and a judgement that government and policy makers would have to make. I'm hoping reading between the lines that means as we 'work our way down the tiers' that the system will be yeeted into the bin by mid-summer and that full and complete normality is returned to us. I feel more inclined to be interested in what is happening south of the border rather than up here as they will act sooner and likely force Sturgeon's hand. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The English figure is less than 40%. Boris Johnston has gone for the Daily Express/ thicko headline tactic.

superbigal Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 (edited) Stuff like this about supply and no information of next delivery is disappointing when the message is so good at my local GP practice.

Very disappointing that the supply is so up and down I thought being in this Union was beneficial but when we can't even keep supply up of a vaccine it seems a bit pointless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We still ended up with an even worse wave this winter than in the spring, which always felt an inevitability regardless of what we did. You just have to look at all major flu epidemics of the last century to see that. And I think we should be aiming for much, much higher than simply being 'allowed' to socialise in other households again come the middle of summer. Once immunity continues to build in the population and the vaccination program is completed, deaths will return to normal levels and the healthcare system will no longer be in danger of being swamped. That means every single one of the civil liberties taken from us should then be returned. No tiers or 'precautionary principle' for something that won't actually exist, but full normality. Anything else would be overreach and mission creep. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To you and Elixr in one, i don't agree with it either. once a vaccine turns this from potentially life threatening pneumonia into the sniffles, or better just snuffs it out alltogether then i think ALL restrictions should be binned as soon as reasonably possible, I don't care if aunty Ann isny feelin well wae the covid , we don't shut the country down for unpleasantness. However, the scottish government are terrified of getting this badly wrong with everything spiraling out of control, they haven't done well so far but have looked better compared to the english and some other euopeans. At the moment the majority of any backlash is coming from folk who take the view of "wee nippy says black i'll fuckin say white WATP" they weren't going to vote snp anyway.of all those who do, who are they going to switch to at the election ? labour? they take an equally shitebaggish view on covid restrictions. the only other option is the tories and it would take some turn around for all those snp supporters to switch sides . Even if VT's imaginary army of snippy parents are still annoyed the schools ur oaf and we've goat them 2 in the hoose wi us every day Sorry lads, lets no get our hopes up 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
