In which case it won't be, as its a shithole, souless place and ground.

Unless you like drinking in sports centres. 

Alloa is similar up here with the only place really close to the ground to drink being the indoor bowling centre. Bizarre throwing pre match pints down your neck watching two Old folk on the indoor crown green

People will know a lot more than me but I believe it's a mRNA vaccine and there isn't a lot of manufacturing capacity...yet

From what I read it is the fact it needs to be stored at such low temps that is bigger issue.

Hopefully we're near the front then, as the US also placed an order with them for 100M around 22nd July...... -we placed our order around 14th August

Hopefully, we've paid for them already, whilst the Don is still haggling. :)

iirc, we asked for a lot more of the Oxford one.

We did, and hopefully that'll come along soon, as it's Government backed, and should hopefully cost us less

80 million jabs, say

Doing a million a day sounds unlikely

So 3 months plus?

Even if it can be made quickly enough?

Surely if it's in stock they can roll it out over a month?

Money no object with this you'd think.

Remember this is just a press release, they findings still have to be peer reviewed

Pfizer have also said they didn't take any money from the US Government ( so it could go to the highest bidder or not time will tell), so while the Don take's a victory lap he had fuck all to do with it

I think you'd be very lucky to get around everybody in 6-9 months, never mind 3 months

Remember, this needs to be transported and stored at -80C, so you'll not be getting it at your local GP or Pharmacy.....unless they're about to get a load of new freezers delivered to them as well

Problem is to transport these will require specialist temp controlled units which simply won’t exist and to make these would take months

Can they not just store them all at Chill Factor? 

We will only need enough to cover the vulnerable in the first wave, should be able to get through that in a matter of weeks given the circumstances 

Get the brochures out

Depends how long it takes to get the old and vulnerable done. Once that's done then there's less pressure to get the rest of us done really 

Obviously you'll get moonmen refusing the vaccine but they are likely to be at the bottom of the priority list anyway

Should imagine ‘the vulnerable’ are the same ones getting a Winter Flu jab 

Thats normally done over a matter of weeks at the start of Winter 

Youd be hoping for a similar speed of roll out given the unlimited resources that would be put behind it 

Worst case, taxi everyone to Chill Factor and do them there

I assume from the plummet today that this all kicks Omega into the toilet?

They dropped about 30% today, they'll probably go back up a little bit once people realise the vaccine being rolled out is still quite a way off yet. I've only got about 2000 shares left (I mentioned previously on this thread that I sold most of mine at 95p) - I'll probably ditch them all tomorrow though to be honest

....my mate had just bought another £8K worth, he reckons they bounce back over the next few weeks
