Coronavirus - how is it/has it affected you?

bobmac said:
I've just watched the BBC national/regional news from 6-7pm waiting for something on the vaccine rollout.
Nothing, not even a mention.
I know these days that good news isn't news but surely an update on a worldwide pandemic cure could have got a mention.
Or did I miss something?

I don’t know what news you were expecting to see ? They are currently administering the vaccines to the high risk group - do they need to say that everyday ?

Covid-19 vaccinations in the local area being cancelled and no replacement date given!

Now rumours starting to emerge that vaccinations are being rerouted south.

Really hope the rumours are incorrect and we get the real reason from the Government asap.

Maybe news on an increase on vaccination centres being set up.
Maybe news on celebrities/film stars etc getting vaccinated live on tv to increase confdence in the vaccine
Maybe news on the new vaccines that are in final testing
Maybe news on the rollout delays
etc

Should live in the NE Bob, our headline was an update. No mention why some vaccinations cancelled, just a report the local MP has written to the Health Secretary asking for answers.

As it’s a local issue for that area then it will be broadcast in that area

Any other info then just look at websites

Once the vaccine was in circulation and starting to be administered it’s not going to in the national news everyday unless something dramatic happens

Germany seems have been hit hard by the second wave. Over 800 daily deaths. I wonder if it's because they did so well during the first wave that they still have a lot of vulnerable people alive who are now succumbing. Or whether it's an attitude thing with people thinking that it wasn't too bad during the first wave and they've become too relaxed about the rules. Or something else entirely.

I'd guess in part the first point.
I think Poland may be similar, perhaps Ukraine to some degree also.

Anyone else tried the covid vaccine prediction website?
I'll be getting mine some time in June by the looks of it :oops:

I was about to type a comment about the penalty of being younger when I decided to go on that site myself. I'm in category 9 and I'm still showing as June ?.

They need to speed up their jabbing, I was banking on end of March.

I assume that when/if the Oxford vaccine gets approved those waiting times will be cut pretty dramatically.

The Oxford one seems to be taking a bit of time to get approval.

We have got a web site set up for volunteers for different rolls if we ever see it. I appear to have been put in the Obersturmbannführer for traffic and patient marshalling.

Might as well just cancel the news then and we can all get our information off the internet because as we all know, everything on the internet is true and fact checked.
 
Had to take a vehicle to Tilbury Docks yesterday, on the train to my next job I was sitting in a fairly empty carriage in a 4 bay.
Bloke comes and sits directly opposite me, no mask, wearing an exempt badge. Literally 4 feet away

I said to him, I can see you’re exempt from wearing a mask, and that’s fine, but shouldn’t you be keeping further away from other people?

He looked blankly and shrugged his shoulders, so I moved 20 feet up the carriage to an empty 4 bay.

Eeejit

I can accept exemptions in a limited number of cases, but this sort of behaviour infuriates me because a mask isn’t worn for his safety, it’s worn for yours.

I’d have been absolutely incandescent.
