It’s a good point about treating it in one lump. Ps just to be clear, I’m not saying it was the right decision (obviously not) but that it was borderline at the time as the article indicates (even suggested they should’ve have even been in national lockdown !) and certainly nobody at the time...

Have you read the article ?

Not surprised unfortunately Tisza. For some reason people seem to think you can suppress transmission and it stays suppressed. Only way you can currently control it, especially in winter is by locking down and staying locked down (unless you can irradiate and keep out of country - NZ), and the...

It was a borderline call but like with everything covid related, it looks worse with hindsight (and probably wouldn’t have been such an issue without new variant) https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.standard.co.uk/news/london/london-tier-2-announcement-lockdown-end-b79306.html%3famp I’m not...

Yeah, was thinking the same. Fingers crossed case numbers will start dropping in coming days. Keep your chin up though, hopefully the end is in sight (even if it feels a way away !). Winter was always going to be tough, winter plus this new strain has turned it into an absolute shitshow. Just...

leading republicans have got what they deserve for not dealing with Trump after the election by losing the senate. Would be interesting to know how Georgias voting preferences may (almost certainly) have changed post presidential election/trumps bizarre behaviour since

Haha, I’d heard that’s probably why they are both still in their positions (oh, and Williamson knows where the bodies are buried from his time as chief whip)

Those pair could well end up being Johnson’s downfall. I can barely listen/watch when either of them are speaking

Exactly. Whilst Petes right, a lot appear sensible enough, however, you remove any red tape ones immediately and then tailor to requirements ie if it’s a recently retired doctor, health care professional etc then knock a few modules off the list. Also if you are there solely to administer the...

Or a bird....’just fixing her back doors’

And let’s honest, a lot of the customers are the people we’re trying to most/best protect !! If I heard my mum was ‘popping down to the local garden centre for a little browse’ I’d go mental !

Haha, fair point ! not sure it needs Online training for all though. ‘Are you a racist/homophobe’ tick box might suffice ! Full list of online modules Recognising and managing anaphylaxis Resuscitation, level 2 Safeguarding adults, level 2 Safeguarding children, level 2 Vaccine administration...

Yeah, decent shout but reckon they’ll stick with oldies priority list (probably correct especially as new lockdown ‘should’ help reduce transmission) Think they’ve got loads of volunteers to be fair (I applied the other day - don’t panic not administering, just offered to do some stewarding at...

[ Yeah, do the old mini moon and then long haul trip away end of year when things hopefully settled (loads do that with summer weddings anyway)

Haven’t got a clue how they came to that figure, how much of it’s been spent (or whether it will even end being higher - I bet it will be !).They reckon a majority of the 12bn provision will be spent on testing (article below). Did just check and 54m tests have been carried out to date. Not...

Its also the one chance the governments got to pull their own arses out the fire so it would be crazy for them not to be throwing everything available at this (so not sure why people would suggest otherwise) There will no doubt be some issues, errors, delays (especially with disruption of a lot...

Supplies, staffing and possibly some difficulties in getting the 80+ year olds down the docs at 3am

I agree about managing expectations but theres also a difference between doses available and how it can be administered (safely). Not sure how/why those original numbers came out, from memory it was during the summer when AZ/Gov were saying how much they could produce by autumn. But as the...

Daily updates on Vaccines administered from next Monday which is good news (well, if it’s going well) Also heard batch checking is part of the issue but guessing there will challenges in various aspects of the supply to delivery. Ps think we should see how things pan out. The roll out isn’t...

Great move !
