What the f**k are the EU playing at here? Is this just to cover up the fact that there vaccination roll out has been an utter disaster?

Does anyone know why the EU thought it would be a good idea for them to run the roll out? They have no experience of procurement like this it seems very strange they didn't offer logistical support and leave it at that.

Daily Cases Update:   So here we go the final daily update before the precise details about what qualifies you for Levels 0-4 are announced tomorrow. 

Scotgov can have a field day with the figures as we are the only nation with continuous rises particularly in areas already at the top end of the charts.  The "big 4" health boards all now stand apart from the rest of the country.  Glasgow is on the march along with Ayrshire & Renfrewshire.  These rises are not being reflected on the other side of the country so it cannot simply be Schools. 

Scotland peaked at 301.9 for figures 29th Dec to 4th Jan, (UK was 642.1)    Cases that day were 16,496 and test rate was 11.9%  

Total Cases 7 days from 6th March to 12th March were 3,872 to 3,988 up 3.00% . Positivity was  3.3% and still 3.3%.   Cases per 100k were 70.9 now 73.0

Home Nations Daily update:  UK Average 59.2 to 58.7 down 0.84%, England 59.3 to 58.7 down 1.01% .  Wales 42.8 to 40.5 down 5.37%  , Northern Ireland  67.3 to 66.1 down 1.78%   

NHS Progress  Forth Valley 115.1 to 109.9 ,Greater Glasgow  101.7 to 107.5 , Lanarkshire   99.3 to 101.1 ,  North Ayrshire & Arran 84.2 to 93.1,  the rest all under Scottish average.

European (Above 2 Million Population) Shockers: Czech 761, Hungary 440, Serbia 409, Slovakia 264, Sweden 262, Poland 257, Italy 249, France 231 showing how much worse it is in Europe.  The UK only has below it Portugal (Who were top recently !!!) and Russia.   This does seem to support the patterns where new variants hit earlier than in other places.

Council progress in last 72 Hours as follows.

If these countries don't want them, they should send them here. We'll happily take more AZ vaccine. 

37 people have suffered blood clots following the jab - that's not to say that the jab caused the clots. 37 people out of 17 million vaccines so far doesn't make a pattern of anything. As per earlier posts, X does not always lead to Y.

I don't know much about vaccine rollouts etc, but if people within a trial developed clots, however many, then would they not stop the trial until they rule out any link?

There likely isn't one, but are they not required to investigate?

I didn’t mean to trigger a pedantic argument about extent to which they had been open!

Some may be surprised how busy some schools have been.

Think towards the end there were 20/25 in the 4-7 hub. It was a godsend to me and I sent chocolate (individually wrapped) to the staff last week.

Within the trial period, yes, They would pause and investigate. During the trial these clots were not an issue - and they're still not an issue. It's entirely probable that these people developed clots independent of the vaccine.

The EU are making a rip roaring c**t of this.

Hard to believe they're not making a big song and dance about it simply because they know they've fucked it with their roll out and their state sponsored scepticism of it.

As much as we might not like how the UK or ScotGov have handled things overall, they are light years ahead of the continent.

On the point of getting vaccine letters when you’re not expecting them...one of my pals, 24, no underlying health conditions got one because he was obese about 6 years ago, guys built like the side of a fiver now, used to be very heavy though and they obviously haven’t updated their records 😂.

One of my mates got vaccinated a few months back, because his GP practice listed his height as 58cm instead of 5’8”. His BMI was recorded at around 250 or something ridiculous

There will be a lot of smug, Brexit voting gammons saying "told you so".

Worryingly, I'd have to agree with them. The EU aren't painting themselves in a good light at the moment.

Correct by way of total fortune.

Covid strategy factored not a jot into Brexit so there's nothing there that they 'told us so' about.

Though the overall handling by the EU of the vaccine rollout and their behaviour throughout the process has been completely shambolic.

Weird way to go about things really when they are already so far behind. As someone has said hopefully AZ can then just send the unwanted vaccines for use here until the EU back peddle again in a few weeks. 

Did anyone else hear on the lunchtime briefing the BBC guy from Ireland saying that AZ had missed a huge amount of the delivery dates promised? Certainly had the sounds of trying to hold AZ partially responsible for the slow roll out.

Would be nice to see a good few weeks around the 400k mark to try and get the numbers way up.
