Guest Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 +170,000 jabs yesterday Assume 6 days/week, then 1m a week current run rate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DazBob Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Mentioned before my missus is working for Scotch Track and Trace. From having virtually nothing to do a few weeks ago to now being on calls constantly. They are now being offered overtime for the first time to keep up with demand. Let's hope this is as bad as it gets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mum has done some on helicopter, air ambulance staff but not been required since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've suspected form the start that we'll not hit that target, and the main reason being that we probably won't be getting enough vaccines through. You would hope that now these "super centres" are in place, that we're pretty much ready to go with vaccinating as many folk as our vaccine supplies/stocks will let us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The scientists don’t really know if those with a vaccine can transmit 2. If hospitalisations and deaths plummet, as they might; how to reopen? Reopening is always more difficult than shutting things down. 3. There was a 3rd, but I can’t remember Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a proper mental health time bomb all of this I think changes up here will be minor as it’s pretty harsh already and she’s already set the scene for them. Closing down clock and collect for shops like next etc should hopefully be one. construction may well get stopped as well as having someone round to paint the hall etc. biggest thing I notice this time round compared to last March is loads more cars on the road.

Who really needs to order a pair of socks on line from Next and then go and collect them - ridiculous Construction and "handy man" work being stopped would be a massive call.................especially as I'm having some work done in one of my out houses at the minute 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then that offers a loophole doesn’t it for others. We will find out soon enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Spider Posted January 13, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted January 13, 2021 Sounds like there are enough people to put needles in arms, but possibly not enough product yet. I think. Can't blame the government for that. And I love blaming the government, me, I do. Need the pharma producers to upscale as best they can.

Insufficient staff 2. not enough vaccine Lets hope we have enough of each to hit the 13.2m Presumably we have a plan to get to the 13.9 (???) target. So we know how many staff and how much vaccine we need. The Govt have been clear the target is vaccines offered so unless we know the number not turning up. The number injected is not relevant to the target. Although it is overall most important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm, they're not now promising to administer 13.2m jabs in this time-frame, it's now "we will have offered 13.2m jabs". A bit like that day they posted out thousands of test kits on the last day of promising a target. Sending someone a letter with a date for a jab in the future is not vaccinating.

Can't blame the government for that. And I love blaming the government, me, I do. Need the pharma producers to upscale as best they can. They keep guaranteeing it will be done, so you would hope they know that we'll have sufficient vaccines in time - I'm still struggling to see how we'll get there by mid-Feb, but then I'm not privvy to all the detail. They seem confident enough though, so all we can do is go with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
