Ngl, I think we ought to aim higher than England. That's not a tough competition. 1 minute ago, Monkey Tennis said: "Almost without exception" Seriously? Yes.

Aladdin Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 The most shocking fact to come out of Hancock's briefing is that he is only 42. I know he looks about 12 but I thought he was an overgrown manchild pushing 50. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason they aren't scheduling any one new is that they'll need to start the second doses in the big numbers from late January and February around that time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loads going to waste currently apparently but I’d suspect they want to send AZ from Britain to EU countries that are happy to use them so they can use Pfizer where they don’t want AZ. They’re in a real mess by the looks of it and von der Leyen looks out of her depth. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a few from the School I went to, good guys at School & beyond. My rather obvious point is that if you are going to be prejudiced to others then best not criticise others for doing so as that is pretty hypocritical, two wrongs and all that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baz Chuckle Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 There is some pretty interesting data on the NRS website. They had a spreadsheet which gives weekly all cause deaths going back to 1974. I stuck the data into the chart below. Its interesting to see how seasonal mortality is and also eye opening to see how the peaks of the pandemic last Spring and this winter compare with previous years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondering how quick the turnaround was for the result. What you do for work in Sweden out of interest? I heard of someone refused on his flight do to a test mix up , he took his test outwith 24 hours , thought it had to be 72. He was travelling Ryanair to Denmark and onto Sweden. So id check that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
