Vaccines are the way out of this and we're fucking it up. It makes me so angry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However once that is the case, we need to be, without delay! im happy to accept less than full normality until basically the end of july at the latest. After that it would simply be complete overkill. Yeah think this is probably how a lot of people feel. I want ‘this shit to end’ as much as anybody, but it doesn’t really make much sense to fully open up before offering every adult a vaccine first - even if the younger ones are likely to be largely unaffected by it. Still convinced the government were aiming for all adults to be offered a jab by June 1st .. add 3 weeks for it to start working .. and there was the 21st June date was drawn up. Either supply, logistics issues or higher than anticipated demand has scuppered those plans by a month or so I’d say. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think gigs and clubs can wait to end of August maybe...most gigs won't be going ahead till autumn anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might make sense if we didn't keep hearing about how these cases are in fact translating into hospitalisations, primarily in the groups who haven't yet had chance to be jabbed. We're so close, seems like another own goal not to hold out just a little longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's the case as well and it sounds like a fair(ish) way of doing things as the government support is still there. I'm thinking a delay of a few weeks so we can properly finish this off is better than coming out of lockdown fully on 21st June and potentially having issues down the line.

No date at all. I am only 24 so I’m way off even being asked to book yet. Feel like I’m part of a pilot scheme as when I rung up to book my second jab I had to explain to them how on earth I got my first one. They weren’t aware of the twickenham situation. They said that I have to wait until my age group becomes eligible to book my second. She said mark up 12 weeks in your calendar and when you get close to it ring up and book.

Ryan1984 Posted May 31, 2021 Report Share Posted May 31, 2021 47 minutes ago, st dan said: The mistake was always providing dates for the stages of the roadmap, despite barking on about it being about ‘data not dates’. If June 21st wasn’t given in the first place, I think we’d all be relatively happy waiting until all adults to have their first vaccine before fully unlocking, which would probably be around mid July. Aye, surely they could/should have used the catch-all ‘early summer’ deadline? They’re speaking to journalists about tomorrow’s front pages on the news now and they seem fully behind pushing the date back a little bit.

Its the sensible / considered view at this time i think. It really wont be too much longer after the 21st june that we can say we have offered a vaccine to everyone over 18. That should be a time to reflect on what an amazing feat it is and be able to, in good conscience, declare everything open Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zahidf Posted May 31, 2021 Report Share Posted May 31, 2021 Nah I think we stick with 21 June. The dates were already way too pessimistic and all over 50s and vulnerable people will be double jabbed by June 21st. We have to ge rid of the safety blanket of restrictions and crack on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

balthazarstarbuck Posted May 31, 2021 Report Share Posted May 31, 2021 Don’t think the decision can be made either way for 21 June yet. Just keep jabbing arms ASAFP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also because the data is delayed so we don't know the impacts of step 3 yet and won't for another couple of weeks. That has ultimately been why they have had the 5 week gap in between the steps which combined with the rising prevalence of the virus (for me at least) shows that the cautious approach has been the right one.

I think she's given you some duff advice there. Once the first dose is registered, and the booking system has updated to pick that up, then you should be able to book a second dose. Give it a short while - probably tomorrow, or if not then Wednesday and you should be able to do it via the web site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine its more of a northern thing where cases are high ? how many weeks school have peoples kids missed since returning after last lockdown ? My eldests (6-year-old) Primary School has 40+ cases and a lot more off self isolating. My lad went in on Friday and there was 11 in his class, and he’s now been T&T’ed and is off this week. Negative PCR Test yesterday. There’s a couple of schools in Renfrewshire with outbreaks which is going a long way to accounting for the big rise here.
