Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

[Brennan]

They aren't doing them in Covid wards or ICU!!

Just like the supermarket in question won't be administering them in the aisles.

You can't have it both ways. A fast rollout by it's nature means some additional risks. There's a chance the person vaccinating you in a hospital could give you covid. Nurses have to buy food. From supermarkets.

So are we following the guidance from a football manager now?

Takes some turns this thread.

Don't worry mate, I reckon most subconsciously say 'big time' in their head when they see Charlie...Potato

Rightly so.

There was a segment on the news this morning of one of the pharmacies that has been set up for vaccinations. Looked very professional and very safe.

If you get offered the opportunity to get the vaccine please take that opportunity. It will be administered by appropriately trained staff.

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.

If your Mum had went with an organised group to incite, she would rightfully be fined; if she'd be unwilling to provide details, the only option is to arrest.

The intelligence and evidence behind the whole saga is not of one small group idyllically walking along, but rather numerous small but organised groups in contact.

They went in groups, regularly meeting up and in patterns that regularly engaged local policing patrols. Yeah, to stop the Abwehr!

My mate in the marines has just said they’ve been asked to help out the NHS with the rollout.

Yes, and can certain people stop their constant scaremongering regarding the vaccine because of their warped agenda.

To see my mum get her letter about receiving the vaccine is a massive weight off our shoulders and she does not care where she gets it.

Just don't understand why they're using pharmacies yet when most Gp practices aren't even getting to give vaccinations yet at least they're not near me .

Local pharmacies are a huge part of the annual flu vaccination programme, so it's sensible that they're utilised in this way: trained and in the community.

I'm sure I read somewhere that it's only took this long because of the vaccines available and their storage - e.g. Oxford not requiring -70C.

We should hopefully see a real surge in numbers of being being innoculated over the next few weeks, so we can be closer to the weekly 300k number required.

Probably the safest place to get it is the local hubs loads of doctors and nurses dad goes there on Friday wife went last week she had to wait 15 minutes after injection to see if any reaction don't know how that would work in a supermarket pharmacy.

But you have to go through the supermarket doors and through that area to the pharmacy. How is that managed?

Look at the layout:





Fast roll out's cant be safe roll outs?

That's just giving a free pass to lack of a logistical plan...which arises (and we get back to my original point with this) because of devastating cuts to local health authorities, which should be robust enough to roll this out. Instead we have some supermarket chain touting for business, and getting it.

Banana Republic.

In my previous life one of my jobs was a medical rep. I used to see pharmacists all the time, private individual practices, high street chains, both in the high street and in supermarkets.

Nearly all of them have a separate room for “ medical reviews “

The purpose of this room is to administer medicine in private and to inform people how to take their medicine correctly.

This is where the vaccine will be getting administered, by someone qualified to give vaccinations, not standing in the bread isle, with your sleeve rolled up, whilst Doris from the fruit and veg section bangs a needle into your arm.

I get flu jab every year in and out in 2 minutes with this vaccine you need to wait 15 minutes in case of a reaction.
Yeah oxford vaccine seems slow at getting to surgerys once that starts getting through Gp surgerys will fly through their patients hopefully.

If people want to go the have it done at a pharmacy in a shop then so be it. Let people make their own choice. If I get offered to have it at a pharmacy in a shop before I can get it elsewhere then I will go for it. I am classed as a 'critically vulnerable person' but it's my decision so not sure why there are people (or a person) so outraged. Let people make their own decision. If people feel it isn't safe they wont go.

What about clap clinics? Surely cases of nob-rot have decreased over lockdown, could they not administer vaccinatory medificationals?
