SKY News suggesting the EU is absolutely fuming as AstraZeneca announce it is reducing supply. Sounds like the shhite is about to hit the fan.
https://news.sky.com/story/covid-19...ne-supply-unacceptable-says-official-12198785
They (SKY) also suggest that looking at the current (assumed) plans of the UK government. That it will not achieve it's target. I won't post the figures, in case i've got them wrong, other than to say, they are going to be way short of their expectations. Hence possibly the uncertainty when the lockdown will be lifted.
Seems like the vaccine cannot be produced quick enough.

BBC at it again.
Dishing out covid unemployment figures. 1.7m as of last November.
So that means what?
Surely it's not too difficult to dig out some numbers so that we can compare to pre covid?
Useless ****s.

Useless ****s.
From the ONS:
Estimates for August to October 2020 show an estimated 1.69 million people were unemployed, up 411,000 on the same period the previous year and up 241,000 on the quarter.
You ****.
Wtf do I pay my licence fee for ffs?
I’m watching The Serpent on iPlayer. It’s very good.
I also like falling asleep during Match of the Day.
NHS online meeting.
Question; has anyone been admitted to hospital with covid after having the vaccine?
Answer; when we first did the vaccine, we did them in a hospital environment, in case of allergic reaction.
Question; that's not what I asked, have you had any admissions after someone has had the vaccine?
Answer; there will be people, because of the two/three week period, but I don't have any figures with me.
Question; well they are important figures, so can you send them to me!
FFS why not, you go to a meeting about vaccines, where you will be asked multiple questions regarding its distribution, progress and success, and he don't know the answer to an important question like that. This was the Chief Executive, Sir Simon Stevens.

It has to be the single most important statistic regarding vaccine effectiveness given the 8 week period since vaccinations started in the UK....along with,
How many ?
How long after receiving the vaccine ?
How severe is/was illness ?
Age/gender/race profile ?
Which vaccine ?
Now if I can knock those questions out in 10 seconds then highly paid professionals will have delved much deeper.
It's surely just the usual mushroom treatment as that data must be known.
Exactly. I'm shocked by this guys amount of bluster, ok I've never been in front of a TV camera, but even so, he was asked similar questions about ethnicity, again, well there is data.....and?
Yet, in another breath he was talking about misinformation out in the public....well I'm not surprised, you don't seem to be able to answer many of the questions.
Need Piers Morgan to be asking these questions, then while getting the answer shout the next question over the top of someone talking/shout because you don't like the answer.
Not having key stats is terrible, not being prepped for a grilling is terrible also. I wonder if MP's/people heading up these things get media training or are just thrown in and its sink or swim

Interesting the news on the EU and the AstraZeneca supply issues. A vaccine it has yet to approve, luckily that decision to approve was made for us in the UK outside of the EU. The member states getting approval early next week it seems, glad that delay isn't our issue.
Sure that export of that from the UK to the EU wont be held up.....

I think I read that the hold up on the EU supply was something to with a problem at a manufacturer in Belgium.
Reading the article on the BBC its the Pfizer-BioNTech one that is being held back on supplies due to the Belgian production issues. But are the EU using this as a tool to put pressure on supply of the UK produced product. I can see that my comment may cause confusion as it reads two ways
I assume you don't mean the EU putting deliberate pressure on the UK, because we are ahead of the game, BUT more so the EU wanting to perusade the UK to assist in the event of a shortage that is due to unforseen circumstances.
A manufacturer problem, I would deem as unforseen circumstances.
Put quite simply, if they want to give my vaccine to another 70 or 80 year old in another country, I'm happy to wait. Afterall I've safely protected myself for nigh on a year.
