Hopefully a sign that supply issues are over with, I suspect the doses will land in England and be sent out to local authorities, while there’ll be an extra step to go to NHS Scotland/Wales/NI. England now has the highest percentage of first doses given out in the UK, but the lowest amount of second doses. Not for me to say whether it’s all a PR exercise, Jeff. Willie Rennie to be greeting in Parliament again, NAP. Apart from Wales there's not a lot of difference in the second dose %. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d put this down to one or all of three things: 1. You don’t know many people. 2. You know a lot of people who live alone. 3. Pot luck. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donathan Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 It's supposed to be a three month gap between the two doses, meaning that by rights there shouldn't be a single person with a second dose yet (as the programme launched on 8th December - less than three months ago) The only people who should have second doses now are people who got vaccinated very early on, and thus managed to fit in a second dose in December before the policy was changed, or certain healthcare workers who are offered a second dose if there is spare supply lying around. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Thoroughly looking forward to my full English and pints of Carling in Benidorm in August.

Isn't it a maximum of three months rather than a minimum gap? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a really positive drop in ICU cases. I’m actually starting to worry about these vaccines.

She lives in a small ex-council 2 bed with a pretty cramped living room and kitchen, shares a bed with my FiL etc and he had zero symptoms. They have barely left the house apart from walks/going for a shop and are in each other's company all day (apart from shit breaks I presume/hope). I suppose he could have been asymptomatic, but we did find it weird at the time. Anecdotal obv. Good that she's allright.

Well yeah, but the first dose provides the vast majority of the protection (second dose gives longevity) so every second dose that goes into an arm now is depriving someone of a far more necessary first dose. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super_carson Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Does anyone know if we can positive cases by age as a percentage of overall cases? I had a look on PHS dashboard and travelling tabby but I couldn't fine anything. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

budmiester1 Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Don’t know if I’m reading too much into this but the local football pitches have just been freshly marked out. Is it possible that the SG is quietly accelerating the ending of the lockdown or is it that the sports restrictions only may be getting lifted ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I travel the UK a lot but mainly for events like gigs or sport. Can't remember the last time I went anywhere in the UK just for the sake of going to see that place. I'm sure there are some great places in the UK I haven't seen but there are none on my list of places I want to go to. European cities is a different matter. Still plenty of them I want to get to.
