Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

You shouldn't even be having the vaccine if you might have such a reaction was my understanding, with this information ascertained during the booking process.

Yeah I said that earlier and he's 26 and otherwise very healthy, so he will be very far down the list anyway.
By the time he gets it, hopefully they will have found a way round that and it will be safer for all concerned.
But he and I want him to have the jab in future for his own safety and ability then to get out in the world, when we get back into more normality.

They're ok for your 80 year old granny to get her vaccine in though.

 

[mahermi1]

Why would you go to a pharmacy and not your doctor for that? Surely you know if you’re allergic to something in a flu-like jab?

That is basically what I've been saying.

My mum got a letter telling her she’ll be getting the vaccine in February.

I’ll make sure she takes her bag for life.

Isn't it just the Pfizer vaccine that's had this reaction in a few more people than we should expect, none of whom have been seriously affected or died?

Can anyone explain to me how as Oxford Zenica are only able to supply 2 million vaccines a week until the middle of February how do the government intend to meet its target of 15 million by the 15th of February?

 

[davek]

It’s a place, not the only place. It would be to help distribute the vaccine roll outs faster as larger Asda stores have in house Pharmacies. Boots will be another retailer that will be a vaccine hub

If it's for younger groups then yes, I can see the logic.

Anyone vulnerable or elderly, no.

The other side of the story is that there's meant to be evidence that they were potentially part of an organised group looking to cause a reaction.

Small groups of two interacting with a larger network of people who were there that day, doesn't comes across as people going for a 'walk'.

Thought it was very heavy handed myself.

Carting off a middle aged woman in handcuffs wasn't the best way to promote a message. That could very easily have been my mum who likes to walk along her local promenade and grab a coffee. Didn't we fight a couple of World Wars to stop this kind of thing.

Anyone vulnerable or elderly, no.

That would be more likely, allowing doctors and hospitals to distribute to the elderly and reduce waiting times

The deaths are grim, but cases are falling re infections.

Not in Liverpool they’re not. On the rise

Yeah, saw a post the other day. There will always be regional differences I guess.

It deffo seems to be leveling out down south. That's were this new phase of the virus took off first - it then spread to the north. Figures in Liverpool/Sefton area make for grim reading.

Thanks Mr Rotheram. Thanks for successfully petitioning the murderers to put and keep the region in Tier 2.

Still, all the traffic in from surrounding areas must have boosted the revenues of businesses.

Steve Rotheram: once MP for Liverpool FC now the Mayor for the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce.

It will start to drop here in the next week though. It takes a while for the lockdowns to have an impact.
