[Footballfirst]

As of today's reports, Scotland has vaccinated 3,517,668 (79.33% of over 18s) with first doses and 2,446,834 (55.18%) with both doses.

 

The gap between 1st and 2nd doses is 1,070,834.  We have given 2nd doses to 195,575 people over the last week. At the same rate of vaccinations it would take 38.5 days or 5.5 weeks to complete double doses of those who have received first doses to date.  That would take us up to 22/23 July, which isn't too different from what England is looking at with a 4 week delay to "Freedom Day".

 

Scotland has also carried out 131,347 first doses in the last week. If that rate was also maintained until 22/23 July, then the first dose coverage would be in excess of 95%.

 

One issue in meeting those targets is the availability of sufficient supplies of non AZ vaccines for the younger age groups.

NO, there isn't. 

We would have WON the vaccination race if the dumb prick had SHUT the border to India at least 2 weeks before the bumbling, blithering idiot took action. Even with the conspiracy muppets and the communities with better reasons to be hesistant, we could still have got over the threshold enough to prevent this variant gaining a foothold.  

Try extracting yourself from out of his rusty sheriff's badge for just long enough that you might breathe in reality. His conduct and steering of this country through this pandemic is EXACTLY what you get when you vote in a self-obsessed clown.

Wind your feckin neck in! I've posted many times before that he's made a roarin' erse of it, as has Sturgeon who is RESPONSIBLE for Scotland's response and outcomes.

The Indian variant was here weeks before anyone mentioned border closures. Moray had the first outbreak of the Indian variant don't forget, all because of one selfish family who didn't self-isolate after returning from India.  

When will folk start to realise that you can't keep a virus out by closing borders. It's a lazy, uninformed re-writing of history.

We were in a race against existing and new variants, with our vaccines. The less numbers that got in with the Delta variant, the less it had the chance to outpace the vaccination program. Honestly, you say he's made an erse of it yet you are displaying THE EXACT SAME THINKING. 🙄

As for re-writing history, I put money on it right now that once GB News seeps its insidious 24/7 bullshit into the gullible minds of its viewers, they will be pushing a far different story of the pandemic...

When the most common symptoms of the problem variant are a sore throat and a runny nose then we really are in a good place.

Absolutely.  I look forward to the FM, and the PM for that matter, highlighting and reiterating those symptoms at future briefings.  "Just like the common cold" would give people an idea of what to look out for.

This is the final push for the tape. He will not be able to come back in 4 weeks and delay yet again. He's definitely supping in the last chance saloon. 

On a more positive note, that real world vaccine data is fantastic.

In four weeks time is he really going to be able to lift all restrictions when this new variant is obviously still going to be very much about ?

 

The fact that all restrictions means lifting absolutely everything as far as I am aware is it feasible to see full football stadiums, indoor concerts, no social distancing in pubs etc. a few weeks from now ?

They've been sitting on it a bit until now, but the last day or two there's been a significant uplift in articles on BBC and Guardian about what the symptoms of the new variant are. Expect that to increase over the coming weeks to justify lifting those restrictions. This may change the optics for people a little.

There was a lot more emphasize today on having to live with it and putting up with some deaths.

Even Whitty and Vallance were saying it
