Also I feel bad that some countries have no vaccines and we are celebrating 15m this and that. I’m pleased but also feel a little guilty
I'll feel more comfortable when they do - it'll show we aren't rushing things.
That'll be confirmed when the rest of the world agrees with us.from what I've read there have been no short cuts taken.
have they threatened to cut off supply? That's not how it was being reported earlier before I left for work and it's not how Zahawi seemed to interpret events either.
As for them not giving the Oxford vaccine the green light that's there issue, more for us in the mean time hopefully.
Unfortunately it looks like it comes down to who you believe again, but below is about the most impartial I can find (Not the BBC, Guardian, Daily Mail, or Express)
Will the EU's threat to limit Covid vaccine exports impact the UK's supply? | ITV News
The EU has threatened to limit its exports of vaccines produced within their borders after AstraZeneca said it would be unable to meet its promised delivery. | ITV National Newswww.itv.com
They haven't even approved it yet, and the UK had an agreement in place three months before they did. Considering how we have handled the virus being a complete shambles, it is impressive that we have done this and I think there is a little bit of bitterness from the EU. That last bit is my personal opinion of course, but the EU certainly don't come out of this looking good, and people that try to defend them are losing credibility at this point.
tbh, if ever there were something fo[r the world to collaborate with, rather than bid against each other, it was this.
The mutations show until the whole world is vaccinated, there's still a threat.

TrueYou shouldn't. Over 1,000 deaths a day, top death toll in Europe, we aren't at the front of the queue without some moral justification
They put the orders and approval in later. It would be the same story if they had put in 100 million orders of the AZ vaccine months before we did.
in every article I've read there is this quote:
" “In the future, all companies producing vaccines against Covid-19 in the EU will have to provide early notification whenever they want to export vaccines to third countries,” she said. "
That doesn't explicitly say they would stop supply and Nadhim Zahawi didn't think so either though I appreciate it wouldn't be wise of him not to ramp up the rhetoric.
They paid up front we fucking didn't so sorry that doesn't wash

It still does mean an awful lot of people who will of had the jab will still die until the top-up of the second vaccination.
Maths checks out above 47.5% efficacy at one dose though:
100 ppl one dose: 47.5 infections prevented
50 ppl two doses: 47.5 infections prevented
only real question is can we get supply of the second dose on time (whatever that time may be)
If the EU murdered your family you would still have your cock out wanking for them.
I suppose fair play to them for being careful, you're not gonna lose out on pay because of it are you? Cos that would be shit.I failed 3 temperature tests at work this morning and need to get a test before I can return which is fine... However I don't think il be having my heating on full blast on route to work again... Because I took my temperature at home and it was 35.9 twice
I am... Sadly.I suppose fair play to them for being careful, you're not gonna lose out on pay because of it are you? Cos that would be shit.
I've seen that quote many times too, but it is clear to me what it means. The EU are putting in new rules to tighten the export of vaccines to countries not in it, aka The UK.
It is a deliberate attempt to jump in front and it is fuelled by a vindictive streak, absolutely no question. If it was the other way round you would have a lot of people who voted remain screaming about it. I think this will harm the block going forwards.
Fair play for doing the right thing, not that you have much choice. Not right that people are losing out on money because of a potentially dodgy temp reading though.I am... Sadly.
But I agree in principle thy have done the correct thing.. It is Coventry Council so you'd expect it.
I felt hot when I got out the car, heating was on full whack didn't think but these forehead readers are just taking skin temp and it's clear to me the heating has knackered me up

Boris Johnson says government did everything it could to limit Covid deaths
PM says it is ‘hard to compute the sorrow’ after number of deaths passes 100,000www.google.co.uk
glad Boris takes full responsibility but as for keeping a straight face when he says the government did everything they could to minimise loss of life I say yeah right
I wonder what taking full responsibility means? I also wonder if tragedy had touched any of the cabinet their response would have been different
If an interviewee gave the answer I’d have done nothing differently they rarely get the job but that’s what we’re to believe in this. Nothing could have been done differently, we've just been unlucky in the UK. Just insane utter denial and I’m really very angry about it this morning. In fact I’m so pissed offI remember when politicians would resign because they'd had an affair. Now they can get away with the deaths of 100k people. Even in his apology he told a lie, he can't help himself.

Don't they have a policy that if you're isolating it doesn't count as sick, and you get paid anyway?It is Coventry Council so you'd expect it.
I'm not on a contract yetDon't they have a policy that if you're isolating it doesn't count as sick, and you get paid anyway?
Ah. That just formalities, or type of role? If the former, politely tell them about their policies, as it's not fair if you miss out because they're taking their time!I'm not on a contract yet
