I’d be pitching her a tent in the garden
I jet wash her on the doorstep (not a euphemism).

Thats what I was saying when they canceled my old mans second injection and gave it to somebody else they would count it as 2 vaccinations when it is in fact zero vaccinations completed.

To be fair I do think they say so many people have been vaccinated and so many vaccinations have been given…
This from the NHS
Overall Vaccination Activity
• In the week ending the 10th January an additional 1,212,716 people received an NHS
vaccination for COVID-19 in England. This took the total number of people vaccinated
since vaccinations began on 8th of December to 1,997,304 and the total vaccinations
given to 2,371,407.
So from that I would say 374,103 people have had 2 doses…
She’s not really keeping up with the current literature
I would say that 2 people have some degree of immunity which is going have a bigger impact on hospital admissions and death rates
As a massive pessimist I am just not hopeful for my 2nd dose before the 12 weeks are up as it was pfizer and seems to be some issues with that.
There seems to be a global delay as Pfizer are doing something to the production line to ramp up output - a lot of EU countries have got the arse because the limited supplies they are getting are being constricted further. We are in better shape because we have the AZ vaccine
Some areas have hit 90% of the over 80’s and it looks like the over 70’s will start next week
Not as big as you think. Admissions are unlikely to be impacted that heavily by vaccinations until we start vaccinating the middle aged. They are making up the bulk of admissions at the moment.
Also pressure on ICU is coming from the middle aged. If you are over 80 and end up in ICU you probably won’t be taking up bed space for long.

Granted the death rate will probably be reduced by vaccinations as it is the over 70’s that are likely to die from covid though I would keep an eye on numbers of deaths in care homes as I’m not convinced this issue has been put to bed yet.
We got Mum into West Cliff Hall care home in Hythe just before Xmas. Very very very Covid aware and it seems they have only had 1x case and that wasn’t a bad one. Fingers crossed

The care home is a hard one - the one that the Ayatollah’s 97 yr old grandad is in had a couple of staff members go down with it
Cue a couple of weeks of shitting it
Short of forcing the staff to stay at the home and zero external contact, I’m not sure they will ever be safe
And once it gets in there…
Looks like Spain have lost control of it again
I have a friend who works in a local care home, he says they’ve had to up their procedures a lot, clothes are kept and washed at the care home, they come in and change straight away.
The provider he works for has 20 homes and he says they’ve had 1 or 2 cases amongst the staff and none with the residents!!
Someone else I know works at another local home and one of the residents got infected in hospital and sent back to the care home, it ran rife through the home after that…

This could just as easily go on the Brexit thread, but it’s an interesting read and to get an outsider’s view of “Plague Island”
