The point is that you need them not to be off sick because they are the people who  know how to treat those who catch it and end up in hospital, they are the people who are giving other the vaccine. We can’t afford for these people to be sick.

Yes, but if we had vaccinated 100,000 of the actual most vulnerable it would statistically have almost eradicated the likelihood of deaths, which is the whole point

Delaying the vaccination of those groups just prolongs everything

What the fucking hell was Leonard going on about there?
I can't stand Sturgeon and the SNP but Leonard sounded like a rambling idiot.  
I think because Ruth Davidson gets first shot,she's already asked the pertinent questions and normally in a pretty competent manner. Leonard then has to come up with a different take and is maybe doing it partly on the hoof and comes across rambling. I'm maybe being kind here as I normally don't see these speeches live but that came over as an incompetent word salad from someone out his depth.

That's his standard mode. Listen to his diatribe long enough and you start to hear the music from the old Hovis advert playing in your head.

You're being very kind, he is a bumbling fool in a long line of Labour bumbling fools.

I guess after the first 12 weeks any number of doses you have starts to be divided between first and second doses which slows up the number who can receive a first dose.

Second, my guess is that planning for vaccine supply starts to get wooly after a month or two.

If J+J and Novavax get approval it could be a game changer.

If the over 50s are done by May then the over 70s presumably a good but before that and you would hope hospital numbers reflect that. If that is the case then restrictions should be easing off rapidly before May

For me April all outdoor settings re open face coverings in thoroughfares and hand sanitiser upon entry and exit with the app still being promoted from May indoor settings with 2m distancing reducing to 1m in the 3rd week of May and then early June take a look and see how hospitalisations and public compliance with self isolation are going if hospitalisations are really low and people if they are positive or close contact are self isolating then by 20th of June hopefully it's just reminding people to wash their hands no go out if they have symptoms and we can have a fairly normal life.

He'd be out of his depth in a fucking paddling pool.

I love him. He's so fucking awful. 

Does he actually think after he sits down, I did well there, made my point, got the party line across and pointed out the flaws in theirs?

When I have to address a group I know when I fucked up. Labour would be better with nobody, just say they don't have a contribution.

A long time.

It wouldn’t have though. As she just said, the aim to have the elderly and vulnerable done by May and that looks like about 2million people. The 100,000 wouldn’t touch that.

Its also the case you need the NHS etc to  remain healthy and well to keep the rest of the service going. We don’t want vital other treatment (I.e cancer treatment etc) stopped or delayed because the staff are sick. These people are absolutely necessary.

Some man, thanks. 

No worries. Am happy to be have been wrong on this one. Have been critical of the SG's approach to schools over the past few months, but they have got it right this time.
