Or making people going through a shit time feel worse by pissing on their hopes. One or the other.

Nope. Just interpreting what is happening far more accurately than your deluded ramblings. In order to try not to artificially raise any such far fetched hopes.

The basic mistake here is that you are giving credence to anything the albino spunktrumpet vomits out.

There will be no Glastonbury next year, and the over 50's will not be vaccinated until, at earliest , mid summer.

 

Would you care to share your working out on this.

Nice thinking but I've tried (with Nord) and both NOWTV and Amazon have blocked it. So frustrating.

Just misery porn. Find and amplify the worse case scenario to make people feel bad.

He has before, it’s possible, but rather pessimistic (though obviously, it’s a massive logistical challenge). If it was a typo it would be closer to the truth (under 50s in the summer, rather than over 50s). I’m sitting here with the person setting up the main vaccination hub in North Dublin, the delivery schedule for the various vaccines (and when various groups will be vaccinated) is considerably quicker than mid summer for over 50s (mid-summer/end of July/August to finish everyone that wants one is what it is here, with different scenarios depending on when expected batches of vaccine arrive). I know Ireland and the UK are not the same, but you guys are ahead on vaccinations, have more ordered per capita, so I can’t believe we could do this more efficiently than you could. But you know me, I’m a gullible optimist!

That's not entirely accurate, you were talking about relaxing restrictions in February the other day 😉

Never trust someone with 2 first names 😉 Jokes. That would be great if we can achieve it!

With the Oxford/AZ vaccine now online I'm assuming that the pinch point will be production, batch checking etc rather than the actual delivery into the arm.

Not again surely. Been through it several times. The situation has not changed. 

As for the Republic's vax programme, very different - a total population of under 5 million (ish?) and a total vaccination number of what, 2.5 to 3 million, and an urgent/vulnerable number of one/two million?........not even remotely comparable.

What do you mean the situation has not changed? The oxford vaccine just got approved today and they have also changed the dosing gaps. Everything has changed.

Yes. He put a celebratory Gif up when it looked like it may not be back to normal until end of next year

Yeah... 12 week gap and evidence of protection after 1 dose means a lot less.

To be fair to Copperface if the NHS England chief executive Simon Stevens confirmed all vulnerable groups would be vaccinated by late spring. Then it's not exactly beyond the realms if possibility that all over-50s wouldn't be vaccinated by mid-Summer.
