I'd be annoyed if I was a Scot who was going to vote no but lived with my Mrs in Carlisle!

To be fair - I'd just be annoyed that I lived in Carlisle.

Astra Zeneca chief exec whose Italian has said that U.K. will get the vaccine supplied before the EU and he expects 30 million Brits to be vaccinated by end of March. Great news.

I notice he also said that the U.K. ordered 3 months before the EU. 
Fail to prepare, prepare ...........

It’s no problem, my problem is when I’m in a rush I post it as I’d say it, only when I’ve had time to read it back do I think, WTF. Even then I’m not that arsed about grammar, punctuation etc especially on a football forum. Anyhow the AZ issue has now upped a level, AZ pulled out of meeting the EU.

It's not the same unless it's supped at room temperature straight out of the can

 Anyhow the AZ issue has now upped a level, AZ pulled out of meeting the EU. 

The thing is, AZ have the EU over a barrel, they know the EU want it, and if they play funny fuckers, there are plenty of other countries in the world who will happily take their place in the queue.

The sad things is that AZ are producing this as a zero profit* product, they should be creaming billions of dollars profit on this and charging a fortune

 

 

 

*of course, no way are they making zero profit, they'll be making something, but it could and should be so much more

Schools open 8th March if figures right

Agree to an extent.

Its only by making profits previously that they've got the intellect, people and infrastructure to tackle this thing.

I think the zero profit bit is for poorer countries, however the wealthier ones should pay. Not into profiteering, but, if the EU has been stalling over price (as has been suggested) then that is equally shitty.

I'd have thought that nothing else will be opening up before the schools go back - at least we've got a date to aim for now

Schools back. Tier system returns at a guess.

Tier 4 until April. Tier 3 through May.

June may well be pub time.

Can't see pubs opening until second jabs are given to the more at risk groups.

Sadly, even though widely reported, this isn't true AZ have just said.

EU were lying then. Either way it’s good news they’re still talking as there’s people’s life’s at stake, let’s hope EU don’t stop Pfizer vaccine leaving Europe as they’re a threatening.

The EU have a responsibility to look after the EU.

Who can blame them for doing just that???

They won't do it, and certainly shouldn't be thinking about it, if they did you would have people frothing at the mouth and saying how shit the EU are...........I've no doubt that if we prevented some of the AZ vaccine leaving the UK for the EU, to look after our own first,the same people would be cheering and saying that we're right and fuck the EU

 

At the end of the day, those who committed to orders and got them in first should be getting the vaccines first. If you snooze you lose!!
