Data issues yet again. 🙃 Thanks for the heads-up, Detty. It takes a wee bit of the gloss off today's vaccination figures as the GPs will almost exclusively be doing second jabs now I imagine and this may therefore explain the large figure for second jabs today, but I'm sure we'll see how the situation goes over the next few days.

In the trees I reckon. from work Broomhouse to Trinity (posh fecker not) six miles i usually walk along the side of the tram path to Balgreen then round the back of Murrayfield, Roseburn Park, Roseburn Cliffs along the water of Leith to Stockbridge then up Arboretum Road and home. However since lockdown i now head to Haymarket were i pop into the station and usually one of the staff let me through the barrier to use the shunkie and that usually allows me to make it home before i need another pish. When boozers open back up it's not a problem for pish stops Tynie Arms occasionally Roseburn Bar the barman in there can be a bit of a pain at times and gives me the evil stare. Platform 5 is perfect straight up the stairs and down to the lavvies. Robertsons in Rose Street straight down the stairs so bar staff can't see me lol.

CavySlaveJambo Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 6 hours ago, milky_26 said: the issue with that might be second vaccines and people being booked in for their second jab at those centres thus the AZ might need to be there. unless they will now end up having multiple vaccines to cover this?

Footballfirst Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 A step in the right direction if not a definitive outcome, as yet. Pfizer Inc and BioNTech said new clinical trial data signalled that their COVID-19 vaccine could protect against the new coronavirus variant first discovered in South Africa. The shot was 100 percent effective in preventing illness among trial participants in South Africa, where the new B1351 coronavirus variant is dominant, the companies said. The South Africa trial was relatively small, with 800 participants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulysses Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 14 hours ago, Jambo-Jimbo said: Yes there is. The Government pass liability from drug companies to themselves whenever a drug is granted emergency use. I was reading about it last year and it's not a new thing as it's happened before from time to time, just that it's usually not in the full public glare, unlike covid-19 vaccines are. And it's not just the UK as the law is an EU law which the UK has adopted, so I'd think Germany, France, Spain, Italy etc etc will all be doing exactly the same as the UK has done in terms of liability. https://fullfact.org/health/unlicensed-vaccine-manufacturers-are-immune-some-not-all-civil-liability/ Everybody who receives a covid-19 vaccine in the UK is covered under the 'Vaccine Damage Payments Scheme' (VDPS), if in the very unlikely event that they suffer serious illness from the vaccine. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/government-to-add-covid-19-to-vaccine-damage-payments-scheme That's not quite the case on the liability issue. The bit of law that is common refers to the new use of drugs that a national licensing authority is recommending to deal with a specific health threat. In other words, if the EMA or a national drugs approval board approves an unlicensed vaccine or a drug on a fast-track or emergency basis. The EU hasn't done that, so the EU and the member states are not liable for damage caused by the approved vaccines. It was one of the factors that led to the EU taking longer to reach agreements. Another was price; the EU doses are cheaper than the UK and US doses. If member states used unapproved vaccines, it is up to them to negotiate prices and liability arrangements with manufacturers. Hungary has used one vaccine not approved by the EMA, but I couldn't tell you what they negotiated with the suppliers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad to hear that,I think it’s something that get lost in the “work at home” and “lockdown” mantra.A large percentage of people have worked through the pandemic and are therefore at more risk.I can be in several different properties on any given day and as much as I try to carry out safe practices,I’m reliant on those around me to be doing the same.I’ve refused to enter a few places inc schools.

Yup, been watching the situation with increasing concern. The numbers are staggering, daily deaths in excess of 3000, almost 4000 the other day, over 60,000 in the month of March alone, and almost all are from the so called Manaus variant, which seems to be hitting younger people in the 30's & 40's age group, it also doesn't seem to matter if you've had covid before as that doesn't seem to be offering much protection from the Manaus variant.

Footballfirst Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 You may recall me tracking the case numbers for children since schools reopened for the youngest ones on 22nd February. The latest stats show that the number of cases is continuing to rise as more kids return to school. Week Ending Age Group 21-Feb 28-Feb 07-Mar 14-Mar 21-Mar 28-Mar Change 2-4 94 94 107 148 162 131 39% 5-11 226 227 281 384 423 487 115% 12-15 152 114 118 127 131 174 14% 16-17 79 95 67 67 97 110 39% 18-19 177 114 114 134 147 139 -21% It's worth noting that the above age groups represented 12.8% of all cases in Scotland for the week ending 21st February. That proportion has risen to 27.6% in the latest week. In some ways that is encouraging, as case numbers have to be falling faster in the older age groups for the overall numbers to be falling, as they have done for the last three weeks.

Byyy The Light Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 1 hour ago, Jambo-Jimbo said: Yup, been watching the situation with increasing concern. The numbers are staggering, daily deaths in excess of 3000, almost 4000 the other day, over 60,000 in the month of March alone, and almost all are from the so called Manaus variant, which seems to be hitting younger people in the 30's & 40's age group, it also doesn't seem to matter if you've had covid before as that doesn't seem to be offering much protection from the Manaus variant. Something to keep a close eye on. Is there any information about vaccine efficiency against this variant? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
