true_rover Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 I have a friend who is an ICU lead, her update yesterday was that things are not great. They don’t expect the peak icu admissions to be for another couple weeks as it lags behind peak admissions which is predicted be end this week.It possibly varies by hospital but we look comfortably past the peak of hospital admissions, if not those in if they are staying longer. High 120s looks to be the average over the last few reported days compared to nearly 200 a couple of weeks previously. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Jean King Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Offered not administered?That's offered in the context explained ie 90% accepted so a 10% refusal rate. Offered according to Boris means have been sent a letter inviting them to make a vaccination appointment AND then including those in the daily figure and that is blatant misinformation. The SG made it crystal clear today as shite as their figure was it was needles in arms and always has been. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimately daily totals are not important if they make the UK wide agreed target. IDGAF about the targets really. My assertion is that they can go faster and the lack of motivation to do so should be the scandal of our times 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superbigal Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Did I just hear Hancock day 40% of 70 to 80s vaccinated ?Think we are below 10% 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 The business lobby fightback seems to have started today. O'Leary holding a press conference this morning confirming summer holidays in Europe and the UK are fully "expected" for the summer, Easyjet sending out lots of marketing on their "Summer flight sale" and my E-Mail inbox so far today has received the "melia summer sale", Pestana "summer sale" H10 "summer sale", Wizz "spring and summer flight sale" and best hotels "summer sale". Different music to last weeks doom and gloom, that's for sure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My use of "not accepting" was meant to cover that, as opposed to those just refusing for no apparent reason. NS did in fact cover these very eventualities in an answer to a journalists (using the term loosely) question this morning. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madwullie Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 (edited) So we're now shifting from "won't make their targets" to "the targets were too low in the first place" so basically anything is a failure? All this despite the fact we've jagged -lwhat, ~10% of the population, including all the most vulnerable care home residents, presumably in the top 10 (5?) or so nations on the planet. This tracking the precise number of jags per day is utterly pointless. Almost wish they'd just release weekly figures but that'd no doubt not be good enough either. As long as the UK as a whole is hitting their targets then this is an argument about not very much Edited February 1, 2021 by madwullie 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My assertion is that they can go faster and the lack of motivation to do so should be the scandal of our times What makes you think this ? The UKG set the target of groups 1-4 by 15 Feb for all 4 nations and are distributing vaccine on that basis. What proof do you have to back up your "assertion" that for some absurd reason the SG are sitting on a stash of vaccines and what would their reason be for doing this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elixir Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Quote Hancock adds that the UK's flu vaccination programme is upgraded every year to make sure it is as effective as possible against new variants. He says he hopes the government will be able to get the coronavirus jab to the same place and it will become "something people have as standard". Can practically taste Sridhar's tears. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been reading those sort of claims for several weeks already as well. The reality here is that a large section of posters on this thread are only interested in kicking the can down the road long enough until the SG eventually gets its act together and they can sweep all prior piss-poor performance under the carpet.
