Absolutely smashing this vaccine lark as it stands.
Is it something like 3 million a week we are giving out?

Just came across this, when I was looking for the impact on rate of first jabs that people needing second jabs would be:
That seems to suggest there's no plans to keep giving first doses to those under 50 until all those over 50/vulnerable have had both their jabs, is that right?

I'm guessing based on the Y axis they're just assuming an 80% uptake and just having this as a total for those groups as opposed the whole population.

That surely can't be right as people's second jabs would be coming due way before then?

That makes a lot of sense. Still curious what the overall curve looks like then.
When did the programme start? 12 weeks from Dec 20th is March 14th.

First jab was 8th Dec I think. The govt made the decision to extend the gap between doses to 12 weeks on 11th Jan. Assume then that everybody from 8th Dec to 10th Jan has generally had the second dose now (second dose numbers increase a little day by day which might just be appointment convenience).

Similar. Mate of 40 had his last week too.

Johnson press conference at 5. Wonder if he'll start announcing plan to ease lockdown.
I also think the plan being 'cautious but irreversible' is a ridiculous thing to say. In a situation like this the one thing it needs to be is reversible. If things start going badly again we need to change tack to allow for that.
Pandering to the nutcases again.

He knows the dumbasses in the electorate will give him a free pass on any mistakes no matter how many die or how corrupt they are. Just blame it all on teachers probably

Well, if everyone was uneducated, even more people would believe him...And but for them bloody scientists, we'd have been living like Swedes for months...so woe betide (never thought I'd type that on SBT!) anyone who's teachy and sciencey...

I actually noticed a change in tact in the ministers I saw interviewed at the weekend who weren't letting themselves get cornered into giving arbitrary dates for sectors reopening and were making it clear that when dates given could be changed depending on the data.
Along comes the blustering idiot in chief to once again make promises he may have to renege on but not before people have died because of his stupidity. Absolute wanker.

9,765 new cases. Smallest daily rise since October.
Deaths down.on last week. Vaccination program flying.
We're getting there, Let's not do anything stupid now.

Scottish government wants a combined 4 nations approach to international arrivals. Funny how they keep arguing for the union by accident
I think that ‘cautious but irreversible’ comment has been taken out of context. From what I’ve read Johnson was saying the dates to be announced next week will be the earliest for releasing certain restrictions in stages, and if there’s a spike they won’t hesitate to delay stages further.
He wants the progress out of lockdown to be cautious but irreversible ie if they’re careful they shouldn’t hopefully need to lock back down again

Your tireless defence of this government just jumped the shark!!

He's going to reopen schools and get a more infectious strain spreading around because he has no spine in resisting the calls of his moron backbenchers. If I weren't at risk of getting sacked because of it I'd refuse to go in on 8th March.

Im the first to kick Steve for slavish defence of the government but I think he’s right here.

In this most fluid of situations he should not be using the word irreversible at all.
Given the amount of u turns he's had to do you'd think he'd have more sense.
Haha, it’s not a defence Clint, I’m quoting what he was actually saying !!! It's more that people are jumping on stuff that’s being said without reading the whole quote/comment
Haha, very rarely is it ‘slavish’, I just try to point out the misunderstandings/misinfo on here Shmmeee
People want to have a go even when what the government is saying/doing is supporting their own view !!!
I was talking about the specific quote BSB which was taken out of context

Perhaps, my point is they are almost certainly going to open schools on the 8th which will likely trigger them needing to close them again in the future.

You may be right, but even so the way it's said make it seems like if he lifts restrictions in places he do everything he can to avoid putting those restrictions back in place even if cases start to rise again. If that happens he needs to be able to have the scope to reverse them. What he's done is backed himself into a corner by either breaking that 'promise' as the nutters will see it or keeping it and allowing the virus to regain momentum.
But being Johnson he'll be more than willing to u-turn depending on which is most popular. I just hope with vaccinations, hopefully warmer, sunnier weather on the way in the next few months maybe, just maybe we can stop the lockdown cycle. Fear is new variants and wet, dull spring weather will mean this won't be the last lockdown we see.

They have just downgraded it so that you won't get a jab unless you've been hospitalised with it in the past or have it severely. Missus is in the same position.

But that will be jumped on by the anti lockdowners and Johnson will have backed himself into a corner.
And as we've seen, being slow to make difficult calls costs lives. He really should be more careful.
Like I said, I watched interviews over the weekend where the media were trying to set these types of traps for idiots like Williamson and even he wasnt falling for it.
