The whole things a ticking time bomb, hearing on the news now that the South African variant may have a mutation which makes it more resistant against the vaccines. They need to pull their fingers out and blitz it through the whole population before it gets a properly had mutation.

Or at least Jon Van Damme. That's a bit of a shit show to me.

Was talking to someone involved in the vaccination programme yesterday and she seemed to think its going to take all of 2021 based on the current plans meaning masks, occasional lockdowns and everything else we've come to love are here to stay for a while yet.
It was really weird last night to see a clip of some Australian cricket with a full crowd in the ground.

Did I hear right that thew vaccine might protect you but not stop you passing it on. So basically everyone needs it.

I heard some Army chief on the radio saying all that his teams could do to assist with the Vaccine programme - they're just waiting to be asked...
They've got doctors, nurses, EMT level trained personal. They've got the logistics support, all the equipment (IF they can set up a field hospital in the middle of a desert, they can set up a vaccination centre in Barnsley), triage experience etc.
It almost sounded like he was angling to take on the whole lot...
wish I'd caught his Name

Has he got a vaccine manufacturing facility too? 
I suspect managing the roll out is as much about manufacture as it is about personnel and logistics.

I’m sure Tesco’s offered with delivering the vaccine around aswel as they have fleets of refrigerated vans.

The drive thru vaccines seem like the best idea yet in terms of efficiency.

Probably in terms of minimising transmission while waiting for the vaccine too, I guess a lot of people in the most vulnerable categories don't drive though, and isn't one of the things when getting vaccines that you're not supposed to drive after?Mito Man wrote: Tue Jan 05, 2021 1:22 pm The drive thru vaccines seem like the best idea yet in terms of efficiency.

It’s just another method of getting the vaccine out faster, I don’t see an issue with it. Not sure about driving after the vaccine, haven’t been told that when I had any other vaccine before but many households in the country where there’s a mix of vulnerable and non vulnerable people living together so you could get someone else to drive you.
No different from going to the pub or restaurant and having one person stay sober is it.

My mrs will be driving herself to and from her vaccine appointment this evening.
No different to any other jab, some people wander off fine, some go a bit dizzy for a few minutes.

I see that according to the graphs on today's briefing, Tier 4 was bringing down the numbers in London and the South East. Obviously that's without schools opening, but it does bode well that the new lockdown which goes further will reduce numbers.

Other half was advised to take a drink and a snack and hang around 15-20 mins after the injection to make sure there weren’t any side effects.
I expect for logistical reasons if they started doing drive through vaccinations they’d only do passengers in case people felt a bit dodgy afterwards as having to park everyone up for 20 mins after would be a pain.
Anyway, no noticeable side effects, no extra limbs, no drones outside tracking her movements, mobile reception hasn’t improved.

Plus it's only been 2-3 weeks since introducing tier 4 hasn't it? With Xmas and schools off at the same time. Not really any way to accurately check its effectiveness really.
I do think the full lockdown is a good idea, nothing will change if you have schools and universities mixing every day - though I do say that from the cushy position of full time employment and nurseries Still being open.
