I've read in Germany it isnt' just vaccine hesitancy/sceptism, but more that they've been fucking up the vaccine offers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xxialac Posted February 26, 2021 Report Share Posted February 26, 2021 First the vaccine development has gone as well as could possibly have been hoped for. And now the vaccine effectiveness is as good as could possibly have been hoped for. Our prospects would be dramatically bleaker without all the good vaccine-related news. I hope the scientists behind the vaccines never have to buy a drink again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviewevie Posted February 26, 2021 Report Share Posted February 26, 2021 My kid's high school is staggering when year groups return simply because they've got to give them all a lateral test. They're also having to wear masks all day. Fascist bastards (says my kid). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But am now wondering if you hear anything if you get rejected or is it only if you get accepted? One of the shifts I volunteered for is no longer showing up on the app and I haven't had it confirmed, so does that mean I didn't get it? Also how long did it take for you to get them confirmed? Applied for four on Wednesday and three still show up as the green "Volunteered" label but no confirmation. I wouldn't mind but I've been offered paid work I could take on those days but would rather volunteer if they want me. Just wondering how long to wait! Also does it matter that I'm registered in West London but applied for shifts in the East London region? They're actually about as close to me as the West London locations, transport wise, but none of those have shifts coming up. Hey, Yeah for my area in GM they seem to be going month by month, just had my April shifts accepted and that was about 2 days after I applied. Not heard anything for May yet. I think it's a manual process and they've said in GM that they're going through and making sure shifts are evenly split amongst all volunteers. We've been offered shifts in Blackburn and Cheshire so I think you can go out of area. The app is a bit tricky to see the confirmed shifts though. You have to click the purple box to see "my duties" then search your dates. The confirmed shifts are the ones with a time next to them, all the others are just place holders for each day.

hodgey123 Posted February 26, 2021 Report Share Posted February 26, 2021 May be a slightly dumb question but given we had all of the talk of supply constraints this week and to expect lower numbers, why have the past 2 days been c. 500k doses as I thought supply was going to be limited until into March?

Barring the most obvious causes, I think any attempt to try to analyse the numbers of specific days is going to be doomed to failure as there's so many reasons why it could fluctuate in an unpredictable way.. Better to compare 7 day averages as they should be a bit more representative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
