Bit concerned about the next few weeks of vaccines especially up here in Scotland. Just hearing through work that vaccines for Greater Glasgow and Clyde ie a huge chunk of the population, are going to be extremely limited for the next 3 weeks and they’ve had to cancel appointments and can’t move on to the next cohorts

Nice to see Starmer getting the Labour friends-of-epstein group involved in policy decisions again....

Mate you’re obsessed. Why are you so clearly willing Labour to do badly? Are you a Tory?

They’ve also gone into a 3 day lockdown.

i read somewhere that there's a week or two of slower deliveries from both AZ and Pfizer, and then things pick right up with deliveries.

(somewhere long back in this thread is the schedule of deliveries that the Scot Govt published when it wasn't meant to ... I can remember there was a no-deliveries week from at least one of them due around now).

So I'm guessing that's what's going on.

Have they gone in too hard for this 15th Feb target, and are now left to pick up the pieces?

I would like to see a set date for them to reach categories 5 - 9 to keep them on track. I know we’ve seen ‘by May / end of April’ loosely thrown about, but we need a set date for everybody to push towards and for them to be held against. Otherwise it could start to dramatically dip.

I think the next few weeks are supply constrained, hence the slightly coy and pessmisitc projections going forward

I’m just expressing my now daily disappointment at Starmer’s piss poor leadership (or lack thereof). 

He has revealed himself to be an incompetent boob all to happy to slyly sell out his progressive leadership election promises one by one, realigning Labour with the failed agenda of the Blair era. 

Labour can only win if it gives him and Blairism the heave ho once and for all.

I have that screenshotted from when I read the report before it was deleted. Can post it if you want.

Right enough the w/c 15th feb has a grand total of 0 AZ vaccines and only 80k Pfizer (probs less with that factory expansion thing) so could very well be 0 or close to vaccine deliveries for all of Scotland this week 😞

He’s the worst of them all, a shy Tory.

Blair of course was famous for losing elections. Oh wait...

and yeah you’re gonna reply something something red tory blah blah but my point was purely about winning elections, not ideology.

He’s clearly not a shy tory, what a strange take. The guy is obsessed with Corbyn lol how could he be a shy tory

Yeah I think they have gone all out to reach that target and can see why. But with a few weeks of less supply then by time supply Is slowing again it won’t be long till some days we have half a mil second doses a day to do - doesn’t leave much room for first ones for new people 

[jannybruck]

There's now a general politics thread to discuss who's a shy Tory, who is rubbish, what nonsense polls are out today, what Corbyn has for breakfast etc etc. Let's try and keep this one as Covid-specific as possible now because I know a lot of people rely on this for information and news.

That’s it yeah. That was from a while  back now and Pfizer have also had issues now.

[fraybentos1]

What I don’t get is that I read in the i paper that they expect all 100 mil AZ doses to be delivered in the first half of the year. That would have to mean an absolute shit load coming in from March for the 4 months after that

yeah, thanks.

So low deliveries this week - although there's probably supply from recent weeks also kicking about to smooth it a bit.

Also, they've got to be daily deliveries for that week, surely? Otherwise we couldn't have vaccinated the numbers we we've done.

The managing director of Aurora Hotels today said staff would be introducing several new touches to make the long stay more bearable. "We've got some high street branded shampoos, conditioners and body washes so it's a bit more homely".

I wasn't looking forward to spending 11 days locked in a small room by a motorway and during Winter...

But, wait, what's this - shampoo bottles from Superdrug, the clouds have lifted! 

 

I may be a bit cynical, but I see this as the hotels seeing an opportunity to save some money. Have the same guests in a room for 10 days allows them to provide large packages instead of the one portion packages they use when a room is typically occupied for 1 or 2 nights.

I expected to see vaccine numbers in the days after they hit the target they chose for themselves slow slightly.

That’s Scotland only so times by 12 or so and get U.K. numbers
