ah ok that makes sense....will make the "Main Players" feel as if they have a purpose in life and their constant moaning has not been in vain.

Wonder if this shortage will impact on getting the 2nd dose in within the 12 weeks. I know my dad was told end of April which would be just touching the 12.

They've said second doses will be preserved at the expense of first doses in the letter released yesterday.

Sturgeon said that it would be a slow down in first doses to cope. Implies to me that they will keep the second does on schedule even if it means massively constraining new first doses.

Daily Cases Update:   All UK nations now seem to have joined Scotland at stalling and cases now start to rise nationwide. Never a good thing but at least it is not just a Scottish issue.    

Scotland now has 8 LA's above 100 cases per 100K out of the total of 33 in the UK

Scotland peaked at 301.9 for figures 29th Dec to 4th Jan, (UK was 642.1)    Cases that day were 16,496 and test positivity rate was 11.9%  

Total Cases 7 days from 9th March to 15th March were  3,995 to 4,107 up 2.80%. Positivity was  3.3% and still 3.3%.   Cases per 100k were  73.1 now 75.2

Home Nations Daily update:  UK Average 59.1 to 59.5 up 0.68%, England 58.6 to 58.7 up 0.17% .  Wales 41.1 to 43.6 up 6.08%  , Northern Ireland 68.8 to 70.4 up 2.33%

European (Above 2 Million Population) Shockers: Czech 720, Hungary 517, Serbia 442, Poland 291, Sweden 267, Slovakia 259, Italy 258, France 250 showing how much worse it is in Europe.  The UK only has below it Portugal (Who were top recently !!!) and Russia.   This does seem to support the patterns where new variants hit earlier than in other places.

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.

Amazing that here in Sunny South Ayrshire we were at 19.3 until Rangers won the League and the schools went back.

Cheers. 

I suppose that makes sense and is good for my dad. 

My parents got a call from the surgery this morning, with their second jab date being brought forward by 2 weeks, so obviously must be ahead of schedule in NA.

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?

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.

This tweet aged well.

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.
