Obviously this is over last 7 days of data only where cases have doubled. Will be very interesting next couple of days of figures to see if it quickly plateaus or continues upwards. 141 cases in NHSGGC, up from 94 yesterday. Even if there's been an issue with the reporting of cases in the past few days, the numbers are heading back up in past 7 days, heading towards what they were near the end of March. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It appears Wales are using up more of their stock of vaccines, whereas the rest of the UK is being a little more cautious, keeping enough in reserve so that they don't run out for second doses if there's any unexpected drop in supplies. Easy enough for the Scottish Government to ok more vaccines to push ahead with first doses for everyone under 40 in somewhere like Moray, quite a big undertaking if they were to do the same in Greater Glasgow area. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a few folk in Moray with no underlying health conditions in their 30s now getting the vaccine, so hopefully it'll move to more populated areas soon 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paco Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Still no appointment for 1st dose for the majority of 45-49yo yet !59% of all 40-50 year olds have received the vaccine, so I’d wager the vast majority of 45-49 year olds have had it in their arms let alone waiting for an appointment. Progress in this group has been painfully slow though. Second doses really screwing us. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, to younger cohorts that are more likely to transmit, which tells you everything you need to know. We should be doing the exact same thing they are by firing through doses in storage, to nip this Moray/Glasgow nonsense in the bud. Sounds like they are looking at this in England as well. Bolton being a prime candidate. Edited May 12, 2021 by Michael W 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In our pals' group chat of 11 of us all round same age and in different areas, we've all had a first jag except one in Uddingston who's not even had a letter yet. I think it's just pot luck in your health board and specific GP practice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Have some faith in Magic Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 (edited) 1st doses up to 20k yesterday for the first time in weeks. looks like AZ is back on the scene for first doses so hopefully start motoring through again as past the peak of the second doses.

scottsdad Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 My wife is 44 and was jagged yesterday. I'm 41 and get mine on Friday. Her only side effect is that her arm feels a bit "heavy". She was rubbing where the jab was on her arm and asked me to feel it (she thinks it feels like a hard wee lump). So in I go with my big sausage fingers and poke it. I meant t be gentle but for whatever reason it came out like a finger punch. She was really unhappy. I can expect revenge treatment on Saturday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honest_Man#1 Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 I didn’t realise that the hospital number includes the ICU. The way they present it I thought they’d separated it, so it’s 65 total currently in hospital including ICU. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael W Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 If there's a strict application of the new guidance, AZ will have almost served its course for first doses on the UK. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingscot Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 The rises in Glasgow are so fucking annoying. I can just see the restrictions coming back, followed by Renfrewshire/Lanarkshire and we're back where we were. I'm so pissed with the whole thing right now. They've been trying to get cases down in Pollokshields areas for ages as it was bad earlier in the year too. No idea how it continues to be so bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m amazed the rising numbers in Glasgow weren’t mentioned in the briefing yesterday. They must be quite confident it wouldn’t affect hospital numbers? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
