Wtf is going on with the vaccinations

Its almost like they lied to hit the target and now its correcting itself

2 shit days might be sat and sun, but isnt it now about 500k in 3 days?

It must be planned/expected, as said before people are booked for appointments based on supply of numbers dropped unexpectedly there would loads of stories of people being turned away for injections, whereas it seems the opposite is true and the centres have a few spares

Not a bad idea this vaccine passport lark. Tell the naysyers that that they won’t be going to -pubs/clubs/restaurants/cinema/theatre/football matches/holidays etc and they might just change their minds - fairly sharpish

sometime in late 2021 , but its outside The White Hart or an Asda

Well after that announcement from krankie I will be spending most of my time in north west England from Mid april onwards until she’s either fucked off or gets a grip. Shambles. And folk have the audacity to say she’s doing a grand Job 

Being the first to jump to the defence of Boris at every opportunity on here, surely you can't fail to see the irony in this comment?

I don’t see the big issue about having a vaccine passport for foreign travel, it’s been used by some foreign countries for years, it’s hardly something new. 

With regards to having one here for employment, entering hospitality venues etc, that should be down to the employers, landlords/company owners etc.

Foreign holidays will be easy as receiving country will set the rules . Edit. Front page of The Times reports Greece may allow vaccinated Brits in from May.

Domestically you only have to look at face masks to see how the "you can't stop me, I know my rights" scrotes would be backed by unscrupulous lawyers.

It looks like this will be added to the NHS covid app. There is something on there already MYGP TICKet

all sorts of minorities will be proclaiming discrimination.

Mrs had hers yesterday, just me and the kids left and then that's the whole family done - parents, sister, aunts, cousins, uncles.

Weird one as hes been asked to go to Thornton, which isnt his Borough and Thornton is packed with doddering cotton wool heads.

They must have rifled through the oldies. 

Meanwhile my mate whos 41 was asked to go to Winter Gardens where it was empty. But that's not his Borough either. But his wife's a teacher.

Like you say its a bit all over the shop.

I know, very pleased - but lucky as well with the Mrs 'underlying health issues' and the whole family being teachers or in the NHS if they are not retired.

Shows who is the least important in my family though! 😄

I’m thinking areas with higher infection rates are being prioritised, I’ve not heard anything yet.

Is he a chubber?? Mate of mine has his this week, only 39, the only reason I can think he's been called is because he's the size of a country house. 

Another mate of mine,40, had his last week. He has "Asthma" apparently, first time I'd heard this and I pointed out that it's never stopped him having a few cigs when hes drinking. 

Currently doing those aged 65 to 70 round here. One vaccination session per fortnight because of reduced supply despite the centre being ready to go 24/7. All very random right now but we will get there.

They are on underlying health issues now and this ven takes in referrals in the past 5 years, apparently 1.7 million in this category. So you may not think you have anything, and you may not, but you've been put in with this, so I believe. Anyway, that's how my 39 year old Mrs got done yesterday.

Don't know about that, a lot of jobs lost and a lot more to come.

But as far as jabs (not jobs) go, rightly or wrongly, it's up to the individual.

I know plenty folk refusing to get it.

 

I know, I was one of them and my missus has had to apply for hers a couple of times. Still a drawn out process, and a different one to getting rid of a dickhead. Which requires managers to jump through hoops to such an extent that they don't always bother.

But I digress. 

Putting a jab clause in will be met with derision from all sorts of militants and snowflakes. Local authorities are full of them.

Private companies, whilst still needing to act within the law, have more scope to introduce such measures. Pretty sure some don't allow employees to smoke.

Indeed.

But airlines are private companies.

Whilst I doubt they can afford to be picky just yet, there’s nothing to stop them insisting on vaccinated people on their planes.

So what happens to people who for valid reasons can not have the jab ? 
 

I have no moral issue with a vaccine passport , if you go to certain countries you have to prove injections already. But if you need to prove you have been vaccinated to go in a pub but one you has not been done, do you get turned away? If not and the pub allows non vaccinated in what is the point ?

It would never work for pubs and restaurants.

I'm thinking more about foreign travel.

It's still rife abroad so we should not be allowing non-vaccinated people out of the country so they can bring back the virus. Yes, they could isolate, but they'd get all snowflakey about that as well, no doubt.

There's worse for us in the food we eat, I don't know why people won't just have the jab. Baffles me.

Vaccinated people can still get the virus and at the moment the line is that they can transmit it.

I did say schools going back on the 8th March was fuck all to do with the Education of our kids.

3 tests in 10 days, The College I work for as 3650 Students and 260 members of staff, over 10k, 1k a day. It's possible, but the logistics of it aren't as simple as turn up have a test and there you go. Its optional by the way.

The Missus has just been on a teams call as she is going to be involved in the administration of it, obviously all test have to be logged, Students to be given links and instructions of how to register, then booked in for test by their Hall.

It's going to be intersting to see how many take up the option and what the ethnicity breakdown is, the 3 black people I directly work with are all going to refuse test and they've stated they are not having the Vaccine. 

There are approximately 7m secondary/college kids in the UK, 4.5m in Primary.

7m x 3 = 21m test, say 1% are positive, that's 210k new infections.

🤔

Loads of parents at lads school have refused to sign the consent form for testing.

Be surprised if more than 50% bother.

You need a licence to drive, a passport to travel abroad so why not have a vaccine passport, the sooner we all get National I.D cards the better, have it chipped when you've been vaxed, simple
