patience is a virtue! even a skilled baker never knows his cake will come out the oven perfect!Even Van Tam doesn't know how this vaccine works or for how long or how well you respond.....Don't know if it's lifetime or annual....
Seems at very trial & error stage to me...
He ripped into Emily Morgan yesterday for not listening, and it is trial and error .. even Gen: indecision must, after basing everything on hindsight, start to recognise we are dealing with a very difficult virus, there is no way to say we do this this and that and problem sorted.
We now after the good news "we have a vaccine" have to live with the problems it now presents us with ……... distribution!
THE FIRST GROUPING …. NHS … care workers/ homes/ over 80's [90's ] has hit a big snag already …. -70c! [ a tray has 975 doses ] …
my take so far there are 400 trays [ 800 dose is twice ] of the vaccine available after this weekend. Southmead is earmarked as a front line distributor... NHS hospitals of similar standing throughout UK is probably about 120? maybe another 120 as BRI and 120+ capable as A&E with ability to take on mass innoculations????? from the moment it is useable they state life expectancy of vaccine is 5 days or <5days !.
My local surgery did flu jabs every 10 mins about 8am to 8pm 12 hours x 6 = 72 per day x 5.5 = 396 per week!
Covid for 1 tray 975 / 5 = 195 per day or in 12 hour shift = about 1 every 3.5 mins ! not allowing for breaks! THE TASK IS IMMENSE...……..
wrong ………………….. that is RP after learning LJ is better than a job at Paulton …...
