Binos Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 5 minutes ago, Jambomo said: Not really, more sensible to vaccinate those who care for them so they can remain alive and well to keep caring for them. They are also people who are at higher risk of catching it by being frontline workers. At risk individuals can do more to protect themselves (I.e remaining at home etc- which isn’t a guarantee of not catching it but lessens the risk). Reality is most of them would not die or require hospital treatment, as is well trodden fact by now I think the vaccination programme is the wrong way round 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 2 minutes ago, ICTChris said: It's clearly closer to it - you can only leave home for essential purposes etc. I'm sure though that it won't be as harsh as that. In March and April you couldn't drive somewhere to go for a walk, playgrounds were shut, you couldn't meet anyone from outside your household outside etc. Haven't heard any talk of that. There’s lots of businesses that are non-essential but that are not obliged to close this time around. Given the number of people involved that’s a huge difference IMO. Btw only one person from a household can meet with one other outside, under 12s excluded. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inanimate Carbon Rod Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 If they can get 1/5th of the population done by the end of January and continue in that regard until may then its easier to take some increased restriction, but they really need to get the finger out. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes so pretty much what the harbingers of doom were saying wouldn't happen. Again she did add the caveats around supply but that's a given for everyone. 900k vaccines by the end of January would be a brilliant result. Unless I've missed something in her statement, the projected figure of 2.5m vaccinated by the start of May though - although they've said they want to speed that up - would raise a lot of questions. Namely, why almost 1m vaccines can be delivered in little over 6 weeks at rollout but only a further 1.6m doses are currently being projected for the following 13 weeks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can’t afford for these people to be sick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess after the first 12 weeks any number of doses you have starts to be divided between first and second doses which slows up the number who can receive a first dose. Second, my guess is that planning for vaccine supply starts to get wooly after a month or two. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point... 2.5m people vaccinated does not necessarily mean 2.5m doses. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
