The only people I know to have had Covid work in the NHS. It has to be the most critical sector to roll out any vaccine first surely.
Although, did I read one vaccine may not stop you getting/transmitting the virus but will stop you getting ill?
To follow on from what I posted earlier about my concerns that people are being left to use common sense over Christmas just seen that once we're out of lockdown Primark, and other stores, will be opening 24/7. Why do we swing from one extreme to another? Surely the choice isn't close stores or keep them open 24 hours a day.

The care home thing is just because they will have to visit the homes to administer the vaccine and that will cause issues with wastage. Doesn't mean they're going to not use the millions of doses ordered, they'll just move down the priority list to those who can attend vaccination centres.yes but they aren't the highest priority
You are doing this again, acting like everything slightly positive is the greatest thing ever instead of being sensible and just being happy things are moving in the right direction.
Any setbacks and you'll be acting like it's the end of the world.
Relax and accept as per the government and expert advice it's likely to be Easter before things start to get back to normal.

If you look at the implementation plan its very aggressive in moving through the groups, there's not going to be weeks in one group before moving onto another.
If they're taking care of the patients having them ill and therefore understaffed is more dangerous.
So I'd say having the people with the expertise and ability to care for others not ill and in less danger is a priority.
Of course if it is such that it may not stop you being infectious that needs to be taken into account when dealing with those in the vulnerable categories but allied with rigorous testing it makes sense.
Calm down dear. No one said the vast majority work in the NHS. Let's not argue about the many variables.No, I'd say the people most at risk of dying should be the highest priority and they are. The government agrees.
The vast majority of people who have had the virus do not work in the NHS. The majority of people I know who tested positive work in education.
Calm down dear. No one said the vast majority work in the NHS. Let's not argue about the many variables.
Old folks homes and NHS most critical.
I know we're not Western Australia, but isn't it interesting that 25% of all incidents of the virus in the whole of WA are in health services.You said that the only people you knew who had covid worked in the NHS, I was simply pointing out this had no baring on anything.
So calm down dear

Even if its just the NHS staff getting the jab its a good start ain't it, then I'm hopeful the other vaccines will get approval in the next few weeksThe whole situation is really affecting people's mental health. I think he's allowed to take any small positive as the greatest thing ever if it helps him to deal with the situation.
@SkyBlueDom26 you keep being positive bud. We're all with you and hope that things continue getting better.

No bearing on anything of course.

one thing i don't understand is, what has alcohol got anything to do with the virus ??? for example in Wales pubs, restaurants etc have got a curfew by 6pm i understand that, but there not permitted to sell alcohol. why not ??
maybe im missing something or the point but i dont understand why we can drink alcohol

People less likely to follow social distancing when pissed basically.
It's more than drunk people are less likely to follow rules so the banning of selling alcohol makes more sense than closing at 10pm but still being able to sell as much booze as possible before that.
should of known that really but surly that's up to the person drinking its not the pubs fault some folk cant handle their drink in a sense. ruining business left right and centre
but even so its an outright ban on alcohol witch isn't right in my opinion, wheres the free will people making up their own minds.
just a view of myself like
On the other hand it avoids the compression of everybody piling in in a shorter time window and the associated problems with public transport etcTo follow on from what I posted earlier about my concerns that people are being left to use common sense over Christmas just seen that once we're out of lockdown Primark, and other stores, will be opening 24/7.

We don't have outright free will, laws govern society and anyway there are already licensing laws that regulate and restrict the sale of alcohol.
Also it's not an outright ban on alcohol as it is still available else where and it's a compromise to allow the hospitality industry to still try and stay open.
in pubs and restaurants it is an outright ban,
"in Pubs and restaurants across Wales will be banned from selling alcohol and be forced to close at 6pm every evening".
Not in society though it isn't. Cool should they just close them completely?
A mate said:I don't social distance when I'm pissed, I wanna hug anybody, even total strangers.
no of course not, the complete opposite, they should be allowing us all to get hammered after a three course meal, might actually help a little bit after the shite year everyone has had being its the run upto Christmas like.
even if its just a glass of red after a nice bit of medium rare wouldn't go a miss would it that's not to bad or a lot to ask really
No point in the pubs opening, pathetic from the welsh government
so more people die? fuck that mate
No point in them opening if they can't serve alcohol, bet they make most of their revenue from itwhy is it pathetic to try and keep peoples jobs but also slow the spread of a virus, weapon
No point in the pubs opening, pathetic from the welsh government
