Colour me shocked Why don't we send the booster jags round the world and end this pandemic rather than turning it into a profit making excerise for the pharmaceuticals 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where I am, we are pretty much depending on donated vaccines. Nobody on the ground knows where they come from, the politicians rarely if ever acknowledge where they came from or thank the donors in any was as this would underling how poor a job they were doing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you get the majority of your AZ vaccine from Thailand, not donated I must add, just manufactured here. I can't find the figures, of who gets what of the 10 million doses per month. You're not doing great there with only 23% fully vaccinated. We managed to get to 40% today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Jean King Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Off to Sunderland for a family doo this weekend. Got tickets for Sunderland v Charlton on Saturday and have the app up and running just in case. Got Belfast next weekend so will 100% need it there, this might be a good trial.Hopefully I don't return from England like another poster did in such a blind rage that I feel compelled to post that I want the NHS immediately privatised !!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gav-ffc Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Having had to use my passport on Tuesday afternoon during a visit to Celtic park I got my app ready on route and opened up the second dose QR code expecting them to scan it, got near the gates and the wife just took a quick look at the home page of the app and no other questions asked. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eindhovendee Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 I've been double vaccinated as has the missus, we've both tested positive last week and had this confirmed by the NHS PCR tests that were sent out. If we'd had to go somewhere and show a passport in the day leading up to the test when we'd have likely already caught it I don't see how it would have made a difference. We would have been let in anyway. It's fucking grim by the way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You 100% will not need the app for the stadium of light or anywhere in the North East of England. You will hear the odd announcement about wearing masks and distancing in shops but no one bothers. I went to the Sunderland v Newcastle under 23s game there on Monday night. Neither team would sell me a ticket as it was category A game but a steward spotted me asking anyone if they had spares 3 minutes before kick off and said "are you a season ticket holder? to which i said no and he said "yes you are" and let me in for free. I was based in Newcastle and it felt odd checking into the room with no mask and the same going out and about but apart from seeing people getting off buses, masks are non existent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todd_is_God Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Whilst I get Deepti Gurdasani's point RE: multi-layered approaches, it is still perfectly valid to question which layers actually work, and which layers are ineffective. If experts wish to argue that masks are an effective layer, then (quite drastic) anomalies like Scotland & Wales require much deeper analysis and explanation than "they work, right." If it is the case that masks only make a real difference if they are a "high grade" (whatever that means), and anything else is largely pointless then, if we are to continue to insist on mask wearing, we should ban the use of cheap fabric masks etc immediately. I've not heard a single person (including Clownshoes or NS) advise against cheap pishy masks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The scientific equivalent of shagging a bird at your gran's bit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
