    That was one of the loveliest things to ever happen. Stood in my garden sobbing like a baby! Proud to work for the NHS 👏👏👏👏❤️

  • My uncle lost his battle to this in Royal Bolton this morning, so he will be one of today’s numbers.  last rites over the phone held by a nurse with no family there. made an exception yester

  • I’ve sat with my mum who is slipping away, literally breathing her last today. She idolises the Queen, and whilst she didn’t in all likelihood hear that, I know she would have loved every single

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.

Are you on glue ? 
 

You have formed a totally  inaccurate view of what my post was all about.  Others may have taken it a different direction since but I have not said any of the things you seem to think I have. 
 

We were told 2m vaccines a week. 
We were told this is a lot easier than the previous one to administer. 
Powiss has said the NHS is ready, it is massive so we all need to play our part - turn up on time understand there maybe queues etc but it can be done. I agree with Kent that stuff will go wrong it is inevitable  

JVT said in last briefing the vaccine must be being used straight away having it sat on shelves is not good enough. 
 

I have not told anyone how to do the doing. I have pointed out that there should be a proper plan backed up with proper numbers. Not Boris saying ‘10s of millions by March’. 
 

If Powiss and JVT who I assume you agree know their stuff think it should be done why should I not agree with them ?

Good article about Australia and its wine producers this morning. Tariffs should drop and make exporting their more quality products into the UK more feasible. 

All good.

So, shipping stuff across the world is now OK?

Not overly green, is it

 

I dont care about 'green' so ill take it as good news

I'm with Ian

The danger is if they don't have milestones, potentially we get to April and are left saying, oh shit, we have fucked up

Also we need people pulling together on this as Powiss said. 
 

If expectations are ‘tens of millions by March’ and we ‘only’ do 8 million by end of Feb it seems like people have under delivered. Whereas it could be something totally unforeseen, supply issues , weather, people not turning up.

More restrictions are imminent I believe so it can't be all that rosey!

Actually just checked and you’re either on the wind up or your plane landed on the moon

That bit certainly isn't true

Zero deaths in Isles of Scilly

OpEn ThE pUbS

I will let you all know 2/3 weeks in advance of the next developments be it more restrictions or loosening of them. 👍🏼

Erm.no.

Not sure why this is so.difficult for you. You've told everyone your plan, you've done some really lovely sums, looks fab very well done.

I suggest you move on now and let the folks who have to do the actual.job who know the reality get on with it.

Or please continue if it.makes you feel better, we all need something to get us through this and if going on about how you think the numbers should work, please crack on.

6 weeks isn't it? Till Feb 15

Much better communication IMO

Good to have something resembling a clear timeline re. vaccines

Hopefully it all works out as planned
