Lots of documents must be in place before the vaccinator is approved, apparently 

Including conflict resolution, fire safety, equality, diversity and human rights, preventing radicalisation.

For the individual?

Fucking hell, train them suitably for the medical needs and off they go.

It very nearly delayed the first one

But taking the DM and conservativewoman spin away, the thing vaccinators wanted was indemnity from prosecution if it turns out to be a killer

Cant blame them for that

Which is fair enough and quite right . Not sure some of training/approvals are necessary though.

Conflict resolution? Bonkers.

Too right

Seems as though there are blockages and folks blaming each other. Need it sorted for Monday.

Good stats from Israel showing how quickly there will be an impact

It was very last minute for pfizer

It will get sorted

Stories going round about a worldwide  shortage of vials !! Hopefully all bollox. 
 

But also saw today (BBC I think) that weekly target is 2m. Thought it was 1m per day. If it is 2m a week we could get 24m done then will need to start second wave. So after 24 weeks (6 months) we are at 24m done. 
 

At 1m per day we are at 60m after 6 months. Ie every fucker.

Friend of a friend had suspected cancer in march but cos of covid it all got put on hold.

Finally got in end of Nov; results came back mid December that it was cancer and it had spread but would start chemo etc. He went for an MRI weds...they called him first thing Thursday morning saying you need to come for emergency chemo in preston now & they've given him 3 weeks to live.

He’s only 46 and has two children in year 7 and 8.

I said ages ago there would be loads of this as per Prof Sikora’s protests and was put down by Peely etc who said he had skin in the game...

I fear that there’s going to be so much of this over the next few months / couple of years...they’re more a victim of covid than many that have died “with covid”.

Heart breaking and frustrating as hell 

 

That is awful. My BiL found out he had cancer in May and despite Covid he has had radiotherapy and chemotherapy with no real delays. There is no justification to put cancer treatments on hold.

No, my old man has found out he has prostate cancer (a few know him on here) and they’re arranging radiology sharpish.

I was due for a colonoscopy in Oct 💩 but caught covid that week so I’m in next week, but that’s private not NHS.

I do get the feeling that many don’t want to burden the NHS with symptoms that could be anything (I’ve felt like that for sure) or some are scared to go in for fear of catching covid - they’re not the govt’s fault in the slightest of course, but so much will be being missed

At what age do they start doing colonoscopy's in the UK?

Over here its 50 and then every 4 years after that, I had my first one at 48 due to irregulates in my blood work ( I get my blood work done twice a year, due to me taking Cholesterol tablets)

There was an old bloke who lived just down the road from me, I saw him every morning when I was out with my dog and he was getting his daily paper, such a lovely bloke, he told me a couple of months ago that he had been treated for I think prostate cancer, think he had some kind of injection every few months to control the cancer, found out a few days ago that he had died, not of cancer but of Covid!

55. Had the first one (where they go half way "round") a couple of years ago and after that they suggested the full monty. But with one thing or another I've not fettled that yet - on me list of things to do!

I'm due mine again this year, not my idea of fun, but the alterative is not acceptable 

I’d be interested in having a look up my arsehole just to see if it’s true what they say about red meat lingering.

Aye. I had moviprep. Now I don’t need clearing  out with my problems. But this stuff stripped me back to the bone. Was dust coming out at the end. Proper tackle

Worst thing for me was when they wheeled me in to the room and the fireman’s hose was coiled up in the corner. I laughed thinking it was a wind up til she started to uncoil it. Meters long
