It was a throat and nose swab but the lateral flow quick results type. Have to have another on Thursday apparently and it's weekly from there unless I teach a kid who tests positive in which case I will be tested daily for seven days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we're in the very early stages of a massive effort. With multiple vaccines that are arriving in dribs and drabs. You'll be able to judge it properly in about 6 months. Well said. Wish all your colleagues all the best with their efforts please. All this knocking before you've got going is unwarranted, and unhelpful.

kent_white Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 And this idea that we knew about it in June. We really didn't. We hoped in June- but I think most people were predicting early April at the earliest. I certainly was if you scroll back a few months. The fact that people are getting vaccinated to protect them against a virus we learned about less than 12 months ago is an effort up there with JFK and NASA getting men on the moon.

Can you recall the manufacturers name ? I know Abbott/Innova are doing some but wondering if Primerdesign or Omega Diagnostics/Abingdon Health/Mologic have released theirs yet, as a few on here are invested in them.

Certainly not a case of ordering a number of widgets, sticking on a doofer and sending it off to a customer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in Crawley Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 1 hour ago, Ani said: Your point that you keep repeating is ignoring the fact that I have said what seems like a million times since were just highlighting that maths to work out how many people we need is simple. We have a given number of vaccines (although that is being moved as we have exchanged tedious replies). If you know how long the task takes to get to the resource required is easy. (To be clear that does not mean knowing how long the task takes is easy but it is a piece of work that should have been done by the experts) and then the question is do we have enough people. I keep asking but you keep not replying if we have 2m vaccines available how many do you expect us to administer ? Yawn. Im not the one giving advice to everyone about how this should get done, so I shouldn't answer how we should do this as I've repeatlt said, and why you should just making up things you don't know a huge amount about. You are missing the point over and over. In fact ignore me, go direct to Kent's posts. That should give you the clarity you seek. Or you could keep telling everyone what they should be doing, which for the umpteenth time, isn't massively helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Spider Posted January 4, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted January 4, 2021 (edited) Kent is correct about the scientific achievement here, and I fully agree it my gripe is about logistics which are done at government level. The scientists job was to find the vaccine, and they have defied all expectations. It may be that the roll out can be done with swift expedience. But right now the message isn’t clear on it. Its the runner doing the last leg of the 4x4 suddenly asking how he should grasp the baton. Edited January 4, 2021 by Spider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the results came through in 20mins it would be the latter names, if it was 30 mins onwards, it would be the former. Spider, Sweep and myself will buy you a drink if the correct nod is given.......mind you, those 2 drink shy pansies must have mislaid my Christmas bottle 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
