GiGi Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 It's a wonder Inverclyde is still so low given we're surrounded on all sides by the plague dens of Renfrewshire and North Ayrshire. Still, as long as hospitalisations are dropping and vaccines skimming along nicely I'm less convinced we should really give a shit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G51 Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 You have to wonder how much longer the position of "We have to protect pharma companies IP rights and prevent other factories from making vaccines" is sustainable. Vaccine manufacturing is a low-efficiency, high-volume thing. Some factories are about 40 - 50% efficient. Why the f**k aren't we building factories as fast as humanly possible right now? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was a case that the vaccines were a drug, like ibuprofen, we would be. But as they're biological agents rather than chemicals, there are fewer people capable of making them, the testing and quality control is through the roof, and the supplies of raw materials limited. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In less than 9 days we are going from under 30's getting their first jag in May to possibly by the end of July. Supply was always going to be an issue at some point, that was the point I was trying to make last week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the question becomes why didn't we see this coming? AFAIK, Sanofi has one of the largest manufacturing bases for vaccines in Europe. Their one didn't work. They've since offered one of their manufacturing bases in Frankfurt to make the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine. What are the other Sanofi sites doing at the moment? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTimeLurker Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 1 hour ago, Caledonian1 said: The spat with the EU seems to be getting far more prominance over what appears to be the main reason for under-supply for a month long period - production of the AZ vaccine in India ...India's large role in Oxford-AZ production has been ignored by the UK media for months now. Probably because it undermined the jingoistic narrative preferred by Boris and co. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s_dog Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 (edited) 2 hours ago, ICTChris said: Has testing in schools been ramped up now that more pupils are going back? The testing done in schools is with the 30min lateral flow tests and these are not included in the daily figures. Although, if someone tests positive from one of these, they will then have to get a PCR test to confirm. Not sure we'll get any figures from the amount of these twice-weekly tests they're doing though. Edited March 18, 2021 by s_dog 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burnieman Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 New routes, that's not supposed to happen according to Glasgow Airport gadgie. Edinburgh Airport @EDI_Airport @easyJet has announced a new route to Bournemouth beginning 27 May. Flights to the popular seaside town will operate up to twice a week on Thursdays and Sundays during the summer! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
