The Times are reporting that the UK is preparing to vaccinate 500,000 people a day by next week. Interesting. That would be amazing if true really.

Imagine if it was Liverpool. It'd lead every news bulletin for days.

It's ok. Leeds haven't just won a trophy.

It's just people who have been indoors since last March letting off a little steam. Understandable hijinks. Move along, nothing to see...

I think that’s what it will take to get to the government target, they have to do what about another 11-12 million people in the next 31 days, plus they might be some slowdown on the weekends so will need to hit 500,000 most days to reach their target of about 14 million people by 14/02/21.

Just witnessed an altercation in my local Tesco between staff and a bloke who refused to wear a mask, insisted he was medically exempt but they weren't having it, twat even threw a basket at one of the staff.

Good to see the supermarkets getting strict.

Is 500k sustainable going forwards from a supplies point of view, from AZ and Pfizer alone, or would we need Janssen and/or Novavax/Moderna to come through to maintain that?

These government targets are arbitrary and fairly pointless to be honest.

We need to be told 3 daily (or somewhat regularly) figures:
1) how many doses are in the UK, in vials, waiting for regulatory checks
2) how many doses are ready for use and currently in storage
3) how many doses have been given

The success or failure of this vaccination program isn't really down to hitting a target number - it's making sure that there is no bottleneck in the above. That large amounts of vaccine isn't waiting for long at the regulatory stage and isn't sitting in storage when it's ready for use.

If the government keep the dose numbers moving from 1 to 3 above at a steady pace, it's successful.  If they keep the flow of doses from 1 to 3 without very little time at any of those points, then all should be rightly applauded as it would be a level above successful. If there is a growing significant number of doses  in the 1 and 2 category above that isn't filtering through to 3 then they've failed - regardless of if they've hit or missed any target they set.

Just my opinion anyway.

Good news on vaccines...

We’ve vaccinated more today than the french have in total.


(Although there is an argument that the french have now vaccinated everyone in the country who isn’t an anitvax nut).

Oh, I agree on the target being pretty arbitrary but it’s a target the government have nailed their colours too, and if they can do 500,000 a day consistently (and that’s the key part - consistently) then that would suggest that the first two of the figures you raise are adequate to deliver the 3rd.

Don’t have an answer for you sorry. But when are kids due to get vaccinated anyway? Way down the line presumably?

Yeah it's ages away yet. I say 15, but he's still 14. Turns 15 in July and I expect he'll still be a few months away after that.

Situation in Manaus in Brazil sounds awful, for somewhere that supposedly had hit herd immunity already, now running out of Oxygen to treat patients.

Hopefully not a case where new variants are becoming problems for those who have previously had the illness

206k dead in Brazil.  Globally only the US has more deaths at this point.  So over half a million dead between Bolsanaro and Trump administrations.

It’s down to luck what mutations we end up with, but by allowing the virus to spread unabated as they are doing in some parts of the world the more opportunities for the virus to mutate, the greater the chance for one of those mutations to be take us right back to the beginning of this.

Brazil will of course have a lot more deaths as they have a population of 200m plus. Yet per 1m population UK is far far ahead, (UK 1,245 Per m / Brazil 966 per m)

Could it be down to the people in the UK, the anti-maskers, the 'your not telling me what to do' brigade, covid deniers, conspiracy nuts, selfish fucks, 'I'm alright jacks', self-righteous, is there so many more people in the UK with really shit attitudes like this? Maybe it isn't that at all and is a lot more nuanced but if we think our government is better than Brazils or Americas then I don't really know what else it can be.

After half term.... but is suspect that’s unlikely..

I was talking to a group of people on a zoom conference today.  One is in a special school which is still open.

They’ve had real problems with the lateral flow tests.  Said they got negatives on a Friday and then loads with symptoms and positive PCR tests on Monday .....

I would take the numbers from many developing country with a pinch of salt to be honest, healthcare is often patchy at best and they often don’t have the means to carry out test and autopsies etc, they are also probably more prone to government interference and pressure in the numbers.

It is a different climate in Brazil as well. They're in the middle of their summer and we're in the middle of our winter, so it's difficult to compare like for like.

Cheers mate, gotta tell my sister to call her daughters' primary school up to confirm (it's in Ealing, London) and they sent them a letter at the time (January 4th) saying it will only be for 2 weeks and didn't update them further (they're usually quite good with this sort of thing, through e-mail, SMS etc).

I think quite a few parents will be under the impression that it will be back to school on Monday unless they update everyone, will double check tomorrow!

They will have forgotten to update it.

It will be half term at the earliest, and most likely March (optimistically )

Yeah I did wonder about it, seeing as all the headlines are pointing to a worsening situation. Hopefully they'll send out an updated communication tomorrow. To be fair they got the initial news to lockdown very, very late, so it is all a bit chaotic.

Have they said how many have died as I heard Vallance say the figures will be high for the next few weeks.

Hopefully we start hitting 500k vaccines as The Times suggests too.

Yeah I did wonder about it, seeing as all the headlines are pointing to a worsening situation. Hopefully they'll send out an updated communication tomorrow. To be fair they got the initial news to lockdown very, very late, so it is all a bit chaotic.

All England schools are closed to students unless key worker kids until February half term. Wales, we're until the 29th at the earliest.

R number in NI has dropped to 0.7-0.9 apparently and adopted same travel restrictions as those applicable in ROI.  Edging towards an all island approach after 9months. 

About time but a tad too late as the R rate down south is closer to 3. Will be interesting to see how they roll out the vaccines to meet their goal of 4m by end of the summer as right now 75k have just received their first doses.

Cheers, yeah I guess it's nationwide. Makes sense.

The virus doesn’t like the days and only comes out after 6pm. It’s a well known fact.

Makes zero sense, in some situations, am thinking things like supermarkets longer opening hours are potentially better as it allows shoppers to spread their visits out over longer periods so less of them are in the store at any one time.
Thinking is overrated.
The mind is a tool, it's not meant to be used that much.
Rest, love, observe. Laugh.
