The realist in mewould suggest that we will be sending the EU vaccines to bail them out of the **** Corrected.
As I understand it, part of the problem is that when the EU Commission signed a contract with AZ it stipulated the main source of production for the vaccine substrate would be the Halix factory in the Netherlands, but the European medicines agency has not approved vaccine manufacturing in Halix. They compounded this by rubbishing the vaccine, which meant a lot of what they did have was wasted. It's their cock up, but it looks like we're still well on track at least.
We haven't even completed the 60-65 group up here.I'm 60 in a couple of weeks and have heard nothing!! That said,If they've checked my birth place I might have been put to the bottom of the pile
It sounds like you’ve been particularly unlucky Ernie, or it’s just more fully booked up there. I was worried it would be peak booking time, but me and the missus booked after our tea this evening for this Sunday. 5 minutes apart from each other for both first and second doses with no issues whatsoever.
Bricknell Ave Primary school now closed till monday amid rising positive tests ... other schools reporting higher numbers of positive cases and hulls rate going up ... Its starting to look how I feared about what would happen with schools re opening and just how much they contribute to the spread of the virus, still time to be proved wrong though I hope
It's also a question of 'cases' v 'infections'. A rise in positive results was inevitable, as there has been a rise in the number of tests. The number of positive results is lower than that which would have been expected had there been an outbreak, and the hospital admission and death data confirms this. I think some people have been misguided by the false claims of the teaching unions.
I didn’t hear fatty on humberside the other day, a mate did, but he had some woman from nhs in Hull Who doesn’t want us out of lockdown ever.
You can buy them online for £7.95 (or £5.50 in bulk), the government bought 384m of them and apparently paid about £3.30.
I'm a bit pissed off with the hold up North of the border.I'm a warehouseman who works with 50-60 lads(most between the age of 20-30).There have been numerous cases amongst them,all fairly mild but as I'm older I'm at slightly more risk of serious problems. That said,I'll hopefully hear soon but I'm genuinely happy for anyone who's had the jab.
How the slim chance of false positives could add up https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-56321537 8th March The chance of false positives may be very low as ministers suggest. But given that millions of schoolchildren are being offered a test, it could still lead to thousands of people having to self-isolate for no reason. If just half of pupils take up the offer of three tests in school, and the false positive rate is 0.1%, that would lead to around 6,000 pupils being asked to isolate at home over the next week or so when they are not infected. The rest of their family will also have to isolate, which means if they have siblings, they too will miss school. What is more, if the positive comes from the second or third test then the individual's close contacts in school will also be affected. It means many thousands of children could be wrongly denied the chance of being in school after already spending the past two months at home. But what is particularly baffling experts is that it is so unnecessary. Getting the test confirmed by a PCR test processed by a lab would solve the problem. By sticking to their guns, ministers could end up undermining the whole initiative.
We’re not far from them and we’ve had nothing (fingers crossed it continues). Hull’s rate is high because of prison outbreaks too though, isn’t it?
