Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

Local primary school here has had to close again already due to covid outbreaks.... in my opinion it’s still too soon to be opening places up

It makes me think of the detail of the deals and rights agreed between nations and big pharma. The EU deal has negotiated accountability & legal recourse with the pharmaceuticals in the event of any adverse effects of the vaccines.

So hopefully this nurses family and others effected will in some way be able get justice etc if its found that an error has been made - if that is their wish.

...the Banana Republic on the other hand....

I'll take thre AZ jab if its there when I attend. But unquestionably this has been the vaccine with the most problematic roll out so far.

The lad who got his at Anfield said it was sound. Pretty sure @peteblue had his at a local sports hall. It really makes no difference, clinically, where they jab you, as long as you SD and mask up.

As for your 30 minute from in to out, I could imagine at the mass venues there being longer queues, obvs if you think about it, cos folk might arrive earlier than they need due to not being used to the place/parking, that sort of thing.

Mass veniues as I understand it are efficient and observig all protocols.

As said, my question surrounds smaller civic centres.

Me and the wife went to Broadgreen hospital last week, in and out took well over and hour, SD none existent not great.

My sister went there last week and pretty much had that experience you describe.

No way. here we go again

No way. here we go again

Only been open a week.... I get that people are tired/bored/Fed up and many are losing livelihoods and jobs and I do feel for them... but I feel we would just be making a massive mistake opening everything up again before we have a sustained period of low numbers of infection and higher numbers of vaccination, we’re just going to end up in a perpetual circle of lockdowns for the foreseeable future which in the long term would surely have a more detrimental affect on us all.

Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital rather than Broadgreen Hospital ?, that’s where I went and I was surprised it was so busy. I kept my distance as best I could. It got me done a couple of weeks earlier than waiting for a letter.

You got your jab at the pit!!!!!!!

TURNCOAT!!!!!!

Gold standard according to Dave

Agree fully mate. Schools all going back en masse is ridiculous

Pfizer are about to announce 94 percent reduction in transmission after two doses.

AZ similar hopefully next month.

 

[peteblue]

Those mega sites WILL be efficient.

It's the smaller non-NHS venues Ilm concerned with. I get the impression from the related experience of others that its nowhere near what it ought to be.

Where were these places ?....

 

[COYBL25]

You haven't even been to have one. How can you possibly make this assumption? It is a mammoth task yes but it has been done so well. This government are a shambles and have handled things so poorly but the vaccine roll out has been very impressive (thanks to the NHS).

For what it is worth I went to St Helens ground and was thoroughly impressed. Well spaced out, masks mandatory and each station cordoned off. I was in and out in 15 minutes and had received my next appointment by email before I had even left the building.

Exact same experience here for me at Saints rugby ground too mate.

Massive car park, stewards everywhere, directing people to the right places, everything spread out safely and got my next appt by email even before I`d even got back to the car.

In and out - 10 mins.

 

[peteblue]

Feedback Ilm getting on the AZ jab: average 30 minute process, in and out.

Maybe they're lying?

Who actually cares for its 5 minutes or 30 minutes having waited a year for the jab to arrive......

 

[roydo]

Where were these places ?....

We have 3 sites in town. 2 GP surgeries, and the Folk Hall. They seem to work just fine.

 

[peteblue]

AZ is the issue.

Astra Zeneca is not an issue, nor is the Oxford vaccine......
