Coronavirus

[Jenson]

Just taken a test at the Uni as part of the Liverpool trial. Meant to be one the new lateral flow tests so I'll see how long it takes for the result to come back.

BBC saying we hope to have 10m doses this side of Christmas.

 

A quick Google of the age of our population tells me that would be close to doing everybody over 65.

 

A further 1.6m work for the NHS.

 

Apparently 2m are classed as extremely vulnerable to the virus, I'd assume a large % of that would be in the >65 population.

 

Issue is you need an initial injection and then a secondary 3 weeks later. Also, the vaccine needs to be kept at -80d.

 

I wonder how long it'd take to roll out that first 10m to people?

If it's being organised by the Govt I'd say it's something that will be finished well before the next Prime Minister has completed his second term.

She's great. Saw her last week but obviously wont now for another month. Face-timed them on Saturday and she was awake but just started kicking off when our kid had the phone in her face. They've made the mistake of letting her sleep in the bed with them, she goes ape-shit when they put her in her cot now. Silly bastards. 

That's never a good idea.

Glad she's doing well.

Only 69 cases in the whole of North Wales yesterday. We're immune if we can just keep the tourists out!

I'm sure there was some type of leak to the mail last week that said front line workers and over 85s are in the 1st line and they hope to do them before Xmas.

Was it uncomfortable/painful? I'm probably getting one later in the week and just wanted a heads up on whether I need to be a wimp or not.

I had a test yesterday using a swab, so assuming it was a PCR test, it took just under 24 hours to come back. I know a couple of people who went on the 1st day and got their results in an hour.

Bascombe Tweeted earlier he got his results in 45 mins.

My missus' surgery does 232 on a Saturday for flu... the issue is that's all done on overtime. It's the number of people jabbing and administrating the jabbing where you'd be short.

We've wasted so much money of substandard PPE & a shite track and trace system, I'm sure we'll find the budget for  this.

This bloke seems to think the vaccine hierarchy will be:

Trump gone and a Covid vaccine in the same weekend, Carlsberg don't do rebalancings of the universe...

Less than half an hour. Negative. Fuck you Coronavirus!

It's not painful, the swab itself is quite thin. Going up the nose was ok for me, gagged a bit when I was swabbing the back of my throat. All in all though, nothing to it.

It's more the manpower than the budget.

Fucking youngster, when I was a lad it was all about the meningococcal.

Strange there's no mention of any front line workers except care homes. Personally I'd be all in on us vaccinating people in contact with lots of people, NHS, teachers, shop workers, police, hospitality etc. I'd put that before anyone under 65. 

[Spy Bee]

They should prioritise people with low levels of vitamin C, D and zinc.

[Bjornebye]

They should prioritise the cunts who don't wear a mask or don't socially instance. Just do a twitter poll and arrest then for vaccinate all the stupid thick fuckers then as I said previously, kill them, set fire to them... Allsopp etc etc
