I thought this week and next were supposed to have significantly lower supply?!

so a bit of info from my local area that the mass vaccination centres have been asked to stand down some of the volunteers for the next few weeks .... 3 centres that are presumably jabbing with Pfizer ... and that seems to fit with lower supply on that ... maybe because Somerset are doing well ... however my sister has been jabbing pfizer into the arms in Kent and hasnt seen any supply constraints yet but that is further behind ... Meanwhile im signed up to help but the shifts are booked solid at the moment ... I guess because of furlough etc and I cant get anything ... great news

‘Meeting up is against the law’ is such a bad message to be displayed outright like that video shows. It’s only going to encourage the ‘they can’t tell me what to do’ mentality. 
Everybody knows that it’s not allowed, and some are choosing to do it regardless. Nothing like this is going to stop that - thankfully the vast majority of people are abiding very well with the rules as they can see the bigger picture.

Well done Macron

 

Imagine the privilege of just not showing up. Meanwhile 130 countries are without any vaccine at all. I wonder if Macron will ever go on record to say he misspoke about this. Probably not. I know that the French Health Minister had the Ox/Az vaccine to try and encourage others to. Hopefully the US trial data drops soon and clearly shows that efficacy is strong across the age ranges.

Misspoke is being generous! The guy is a complete moron and the comments he made were outrageous.

True. I re-read what he said earlier and it's just so irresponsible, especially when he's well aware of the challenges that his government face with the anti-vax movement there. No matter what his opinions on a particular vaccine are, he needs to tread incredibly carefully with any rhetoric about them. Just pure stupidity. Not to mention the fact that the data available for the over 65s doesn't suggest that the Ox/Az is 'quasi-effective' at all. You can say that there's less data available, sure, not that it doesn't work. But hey, suggesting a vaccine is shite gives a convenient focus for blame for a farcical start to a vaccine roll out. Or am I being too cynical here?

imagine what the capacity is going to be when the supply constraints start to disappear .... whats the max people reckon we could do daily ? Id take a punt at 850,000 .... 

Million I reckon. Could easily have done at least twice as many a day when I've had volunteer shifts.

It's absolutely disgusting - poorer countries would give anything to have this vaccine, and people are turning it down. 

The data posted for Germany yesterday was even worse! Ireland got roughy the same amount of AZ doses as Berlin (just over 30,000 arrived for Monday). As of yesterday, they had administered 990 of them. All of ours will be in arms by tomorrow. If they don’t want them, we’ll have them!

That leak from the German health ministry a really bad idea...

I wouldn't be surprised if they start doing longer days when we get the first 9 groups complete.

I know they scrapped the trials for 24 hour vaccinations, and I'm not saying we will do 24 hours, but I think when we get to younger, fitter groups, people will be happy to go much earlier/later.

I can see why they don't vaccinate 80 year olds at 10pm, but when it comes to blitzing through those under 50, there isn't any reason not to increase the time window if supply isn't an issue.

    • First time for me, really enjoyed it. Nice venue, nice weather, good vibes, etc.   Notes on performances: CMAT's a great performer - seen her live twice now.  GANS are my favourite new act since Big Special, and live they're fantastic. Fellow Brummies too, so I'm all about that. The album's a bit disappointing though. Primal Scream were great, although I felt the crowd seemed a bit muted. The Libertines sounded knackered. Not sure they're suited to a festival. First time seeing The Royston Club, thought they were very good - the tent seemed to be full of kids on each others shoulders singing along. I'm all about that. First time seeing the K's, a bit disappointed. Didn't like his voice, and I felt like every song sounded the same as the last one. Sarajevo is a good tune, though. It still sounds like all the others, just a bit better.  The Maccabees and Two Door Cinema club were a but underwhelming, but Pelican by the Maccabees is a banger. It all sounded a bit Travis/Early Coldplay to me though. The Wombats took me by surprise - I expected 1 1/2 hours of 'Let's Dance to Joy Division' style indie-landfill, so I was surprised to hear that some of the rest of their stuff had dynamics and range. I still don't think they're any good, but I can't say they didn't surprise me either. Just not my thing.   Surprise of the weekend for me was Rizzle Kicks. Never listened to them before, but they got me out of my tent and into the arena as I was trying to nurse a hangover and I thought it was a blast.    Will probably go next year too.  
    • Not really anything to say other than the fact I'm down at Opeth and this has been a cracking summer by and large here. Few duds, plenty of sellouts, strong weather, and the craft beer is cheaper than the regular bar. Winner winner, chicken dinner! 
    • Pink Floyd night on sky arts time for me  to wallow in nostalgia and remember some incredible gigs
