I'm tired of the language this government use, basically implying everyone feels the way they say they feel.

As shown by Patel’s Bill, they also can’t accept/don’t want people offering opposing views. This all seems a lingering hangover from when they decided to claim 52% as ‘the significant majority of the country’?

To get back on topic, tomorrow is the latest Roadmap Eve (and the clocks spring forward - lighter evenings ahead!). Does anyone have plans?

In other news, a friend of mine - 37 with no health issues - is getting his vaccine tomorrow. Must be getting through them around here!

A year ago I wondered whether this pandemic would lead to a change in cultural in Britain. The clapping for the NHS gave me hope that we would have a more empathetic and forgiving society, but the alternative was that it would lead to greater selfishness and what’s in it for me culture.

I think I now know were it is going to go. Just finished my latest shift as a stewarding volunteer at a vaccination centre, and we are suddenly having to challenge younger people who have falsely claimed that they are carers or have an underlying medical condition. This followed a social media blitz that highlighted the vaccination centre as being an "easy target" for people wanting to get under the wire and book appointments. The extent today was 40-50 people being rejected because they were not eligible out of 800 appointments, I had discussions with people arguing things like, the link was on mumsnet, my wife got jabbed two days ago and she was not eligible. My social skills prevented me from screaming " your are lying to skip the queue and have no moral barometer to tell you it is wrong". I was told by the Ops Manager that the Police were called last night as things got so heated.

I know tightening supply and the hope of a return to normality is driving this, but a couple of weeks ago this felt like a rewarding thing to do, now feels like I am dealing with the worst of humanity.

This is potentially great news, I know we're ahead of schedule but will this help us not be as far behind if we're restarting first doses mid April instead of May

Cheers mate, hope you would make such a smug comment after seven hours dealing with people with a sense of entitlement.

I had a feeling we would be looking at the back end of April rather than the start from some of the recent noises about "Moderna have confirmed they are definitely delivering in April as planned". Was suspiciously low of detail.

Any idea on yields?

Sorry you had to put up with that. Hopefully we will be all done with the vaccines soon and the queue jumping will ease off when the "at risk" group is complete.

Apologies, it wasn't meant to be smug. I'm on your side, I deal with people every day with that sense of entitlement & I'm sick of it. I've been drinking, so I'm sorry if it came across badly.

No problem had a few drinks myself, probably overly sensitive.

Thanks for doing what you're doing, I know it can't be easy... especially with arseholes being arseholes. On a positive note though today you've help vaccinate 750+ people which leads us one step closer out of this shit, one step closer to the end of his thread and one step closer to the next glastonbury. You're one of the many heroes who've stepped up during this.
