I believe they're taking their horses there and then they're going to ride till they can't no more.

Half expected "jail without passing go"

Tesco have offered help.

We have huge car parks.
Trained Pharmacists who do jabs already.
Massive freezers and fridge rooms available for storage.
Dealing with queues of people for months, and are already up with speed to cleaning etc.

Amazed, or rather shouldn’t be anymore, that we haven’t been doing jabs for days already..

Well isn't it actually having the vaccines that's the issue too?.

I know yesterday they were only just starting to send the Oxford vaccine to GP surgeries?

Obviously needs to hurry up

No idea.

I’m ex forces btw, and the fact we are relying on the Army for logistics right now is a bit odd. They are very good no doubt, but the private sector is far better equipped.. in my own opinion obviously.
Can’t recall seeing many referigirated Army lorries recently.

I heard Johnson was inspired by the Icelandic Army. He saw some trucks zipping about.

The military docs are boss, don’t get me wrong, but this is just different gravy.

(I still have a decent scar from an ‘incident’ in Djibouti with the French Foreign Legion that they sorted for me..)

New vague government guidance - act like you have the virus - stay at home ??
I take they meant just when your not at work though.

I have an elderly relative in their 90s with extreme health conditions - nothing.

I'm not surprised though; she lives in the north.

all 3 of my Grand parents have had both jabs now. We are in the north

Seems very little prep was done

If the army are involved, they'll balls it up.

Maybe they should have thought about that over ther last few months when they were telling everyone to get out when the infection rates started to show an unmistakable massive second wave coming.

They've murdered tens of thousands. And they and their families will be getting the very best chance to survive this virus when the people they have placed in harms way wont.

Who can forget the eat out to spread it about policy half billion £s spavved on hospitality sector which is employs many young people who happen to be asymptomatic, bat poop crazy...

Boris Johnson admits 'Eat Out to Help Out' could have helped spread Covid

He also defended the scheme, saying it protected jobs in hospitality.

My mother in law is an ex-NHS nurse (retired) and has offered her services to administer the vaccines. She did this 4 weeks ago and only this week did someone get in touch about enrolling her. She said the bureaucracy and red tape involved means she probably won’t get started till end of Jan at the earliest.

I really can’t understand why this prep work wasn’t done months ago, we knew the vaccine was coming
