Coronavirus (COVID-19)

That’s a fair point actually. Assume the travel restrictions being binned are only between Scottish LAs? What is the date that they’ve said travel between Scotland and England definitely allowed as I haven’t seen this?

The original 26th April date for England (and other UK nations I guess) is staying in place. The justification was because that was when our hospitality rules roughly aligned with theirs.

Now that the proudly British Oxford vaccine has become the evil Swedish blood clot potion, Boris has ditched them quicker than a pregnant mistress.

Not the same thing exactly but i noticed that our local "health suite" was open last night. I'm guessing that they don't do an outdoor option and that not all services are compatible with wearing a facemask.

Are we likely to see high numbers of first doses again? Will there be greater supply in the future? 1st doses have been very low for a while now.

Only relative to the age groups eligible for uptake, I'd imagine, along with any people who have previously been offered it but were swithering for whatever reason.

I had thought Sturgeon had originally said April 26th might only be for travel between Scottish LAs rather than into England, but that’s great stuff, cheers.

Should ramp up considerably to the point there is no waiting list needed when more vaccines get approved for use.

Are we likely to see high numbers of first doses again? Will there be greater supply in the future? 1st doses have been very low for a while now. 

Only if we have a fair jump in supply - there are a lot of second doses coming due. Relative to getting second doses done 12 weeks after the first, we're a few days ahead of the rest of the UK (partly as a result of the slower start with care homes) - we're currently 13 days ahead of where we need to be but it's coming to up where we had up to 60k first doses per day.

Regarding J&J, the FDA has said that the blood clots were developed six to thirteen days after injection with the vaccine. So while it's only six now, there's going to be more people suffering from blood clots in the next two weeks. It's also possible that, because blood clots are so common in people 50+, some of these haven't been picked up.

However, it looks to me as if it's not so much that this is a showstopping side-effect for J&J (and by extension, AZ since the complication is the same), but more that doctors need to figure out how to identify and treat the side effect correctly. Sounds as if the standard treatment for blood clots can actually exacerbate this issue rather than treat it.

Hopefully they'll figure out how to identify and treat this clot and the vaccination programme will ramp back up again.

I’m sure at the briefing today she said the Government website would be updated today with the “new” details of what you can do according to which level you’re in, but it hasn’t yet.

Yeah just saw Leitch tweeting it. So level 0 means 2000 maximum capacity at sports events outdoor seated. How does that fly with what they’ve said for the euros?
