My wife is booked in for her's next Thursday at mid-day.

 

Now does she cancel and book last appt for that day, I go with her as part of my daily exercise and as it's a Pfeizer one, take a chance on end of day throw outs being available?

 

PS - she won't be re-booking.  Getting the chance to get hers using the online system doesn't need more needless traffic.

Fair enough, don't know much about his/her posting history.

 

I imagine the Mods would make swift work of removing homophobic posts.

 

There were similar homophobic posts regarding the private life of the First Minister a few months ago. I can't recall if the Mods made swift work of those.

 But (as I've mentioned before) is it worthwhile vaccinating the residents of care homes? Most, if not all have dementia and to be blunt their lives are over. Can fully understand if its to protect staff but as all visiting is banned staff can now be the only people who can take it in.

Fair enough.

It's simply delaying the rest of the country - the ones who keep the place ticking over and generating money for things like the (protect the) NHS - getting back to work.

 

Care home staff? Absolutely. Along with teachers, plumbers, carpet-fitters, cleaners, accountants, even door-to-door hoover salesmen, all need to stop being forced to suckle at the sour-tasting state teat, and instead live normal lives.

The problem is they knew to a certain extent, that these vaccines worked, just didn't know how effective they were and still don't know if they stop transmission. 

 

 

They knew since March that they had ones that looked really effective, and if they can manufacture 1.3bil in 2021,they could've started way back in 2020 and taken the chance not knowing the full results. 

 

It's looking like it's going to be an another tough year ahead 😔. 

 

Valneva in Livingston are getting in on the act now, but the rate of getting everything in place is taking to long. 

 

The fact that alot of vaccines are 2 dose is a right pain in the arse too, 

 

The Johnson & Johnson’s Covid vaccine could be a game changer, as it's only 1 dose. 

 

I'm really starting to wonder though if we will even start to see some sort of a resemblance, of what life used to be like. 

 

We should find out in the next 2 weeks if the vaccines are successful in stopping transmission, so fingers crossed because that would change everything if they do. 

 

I still believe that this can be eradicated you just need to look at Australia and South Korea. 

 

If we can get a vaccine that prevents severe disease / death, and is able to stop transmission in it's tracks that's when the government will start to ease restrictions, so alot depends in the next two weeks. 

 

Then we have to hope that the mutations, don't make the vaccines less effective and even if they do, it would roughly take 6 weeks to modify and adjust them. 

 

Let's hope we can get normal life back in 2021 because this is so shit 🙁.

You see, you can vaccinate as much adults as you want, but here's where i think they will go wrong, this virsus is very present, now that we can a agree so far they are only given it to adults for obvious reasons, they don't know the long term effects of been given the vaccine, essentially not a nice way to put it but the over 80s are all Guinea pigs just now, the vaccine was trialed in thousands of people, but we are talking about giving it to millions,in Norway I don't know if you have seen but their is an enquiry into the pfzier vaccine as 30 people, that have been given it recently have died, before anyone has a go let's take into account the people given it we're old and frail, and we're expected to die in a few months anyway. 

 

But that doesn't mean an investigation shouldn't take place. 

 

Now back to my point i believe kids are one of the main transmission points, this virus to alot of people is asymptomatic meaning? That people are walking about not even knowing they have it. 

 

When kids get it they seem to not get the worse effects of it, but ultimately they still are a way, for the virsus to pass between person to person. 

 

And until you form like a shield(herd immunity) so the virus can't spread from A to B very quickly, we will always be in the same place, restrictions-lockdowns etc etc, why the UK government haven't taken more advice from devi sridhar, is completely criminal in my opinion. 

 

Say what you want about the lass but she knows what she is talking about, why has it taken almost 10 months for them to close borders etc flights? I mean wtf it's obvious to see how way we are? How are the likes of Israel leading the way, and showing the world how to try get out of this fecking mess. 

 

Why did it take the public to ask the government could we do 24/7 vaccinations so we can get back to some sort of normality quicker. 

 

Do none of these people in government, have brains to think of this shit. 

 

Everywhere around us man is run by incompetent people that don't give a **** about, Joe public and I'm sick to death of it, you have people in government that rather than look at every avenue of testing etc, have chosen go to with their wee pals testing companies etc so money stays in house, this is the level of corruption going on. 

 

I mean we are talking about a fecking global pandemic, and rather than looking to get the best possible test and trace system, he gives it to his wee pal 😂😂.

I don't know how many in total but it's a fair number. Here in Oklahoma they have legalised it for medical use which is a bit of a sham really. They should just go full legalisation as others such as Colorado have done instead of this pussy footing around it.

But even as it stands there are weed stores all over the place as I drive around. There are billboards everywhere advertising websites that can get you a 'medical marijuana card'. Like this is just one example.

If you have the card you can go into the stores and perfectly legally buy weed. It's like an Aladdin's cave of different strains. The smell alone could get you high in there.

And the weed is exceptional quality. Best I ever had in my life hands down. That crap you're smoking in the UK barely merits the label in comparison. I could never smoke resin again.

Anyone read about the outrage towards Lord Sumption’s comments to a blogger on Question Time?

 

He told her that her life was less valuable than younger people’s lives. There’s been a mass hysteria over his comments, but other than the crudity of his words, I can’t see much wrong with what he has said. 
 

There is an economic and medically ethical price on each of our lives. If not, we would spend £1bn to extend someone’s life by 12 hours. We don’t, because that is above the threshold of what is deemed to be the value of that life. 
 

Is a 90 year old’s life worth the same as a newborn? I understand there’ll be different opinions on this bit, but I fully agree with Lord Sumption that it is not.

Previously I'd have said no, and the younger life is more valuable from an economic point of view but felt both lives were equal from an ethical point of view.

 

This last year though has shown that the reality is old people's lives are valued higher, from both an economic and moral perspective.

Guess none of it really matters, we can have as many vaccine centres, GP surgeries ready, paharmicies ready etc. but supply is the key.  The Vaccine Minister confirmed that this morning saying plans in place but all supply dependent.  I was a bit surprised because he is currently being confident but not wanting to be too confident I guess is a good position.  Better realistic information with all this than over promising.

I really have no time for the type of views that devalue human life.

 

All lives should be equally valuable and deserve the same treatment at the NHS, as that is the principle behind our NHS.

 

On a second unrelated point about England opening up vaccination for over 70s, its really not looking too good up here when a number of GPs still have no supply and over 80s have not been contacted.  Someone really needs to get their finger out.

 

All this talk about the mass vaccination at the SECC while many GPs have none is very poor.

Well . Just had a call from “ Test and protect “ . Informing me that I have been In close contact with someone who has had a positive covid test . I stopped her before going any further and told her who exactly it was ! When I had my operation at hospital last Tuesday there was a guy opposite me on another bed . He was NOT wearing a mask . He clearly had mental health issues and kept demanding medication like diazepam etc . Nurses were at his beck and call all afternoon . I assumed that he had had a clear covid test either that day or day before hence the reason for not wearing the mask . The test and trace person told me he had had the test the day before ( I think ) anyway I’m pretty angry about this gross incompetence of the nursing staff . Surely he should have been placed In his own room ? So it was last Tuesday so I’ll need to self isolate until 26th ! I read that most people have symptoms between 3-7 days so hopefully my ok . Certainly will be drawing up a formal complaint .

I told tge caller who it was ! She confirmed it was the guy opposite me , well there was 4 beds in the station And he was diagonally opposite me . So that’s probably geek safer . Plus I mainly kept to my bed apart from going to loo . The nurses all had their masks on plus surgeons etc . But That probably means they all need to self isolate too ? It’s a complete and utter mess . I wonder if she has breached confidentiality by confirming it was That guy ? As the staff may be shitting themselves fir a whole heap of reasons

You would think that by now they should be able to do this, maybe someone else can explain why this is difficult to do. I really do get your frustration if this is where you had a close contact, it should not have happened!

Thanks Brian . I feel fine just now but strangely enough felt like shit on Friday ( just hot flushey feeling ) . Yeah Well my neice picked me up after the op snd I told her about the patient with no mask on and I assumed he was covid free ? Surely the hospital couldn’t be that stupid ? But cone to think of it I could easily have had covid when admitted but wasn’t tested at all either . Surely they should test patients even day patients before entering the hospital ?
