Coronavirus - how is it/has it affected you?

As a 68 year old I am a little concerned that the over 60 and 65 year olds seem not to be mentioned in the daily briefings for the roll out of the vaccine, everything seems to stop at 70 when age is the driving factor

I think he just doesn't want to be too specific about dates so far ahead.
If supplies of vaccine don't stall, I think the news each day will get better.
Whatever folks think about politicians abilities, I'm made optimistic by the Army's involvement. As the brigadier said, difficult logistics is their specialty.?
Once the ball gets rolling , going from one group to the next could well be seamless

I do agree but my golfing partners are doctors and they are telling me how the vaccine is NOT available and the even 80 year olds haven't had a sniff of a vaccination yet

Hope so as well, France in April with our normal round at Ashford on the way.

Must admit though, if I was only allowed to choose between the jab and an angioplasty you can have my jab.

Dont worry, if I'm behind you in the queue you might feel a sharp object wacking you on the head from behind ??

Tony Blair said at the beginning of the week that when he was PM, despite thinking he was the most powerful person in the UK, if he asked for something to be done it frequently wasn't. If he asked the military to do it it was done the next day. He was keen on involving the military as much as possible for their organisational skills.

Just on the local news, people have been refusing the Pfizer vaccine as they want "an English vaccine" instead.

Honestly, what is up with some people?

If that is true they shouldn't get any vaccine or medical treatment from the NHS ever again.

I'd prefer the Oxford vaccine for a few reasons none are fact it's English

Cost £3 each not £10 or £20
Easy to store
Results for 1 dose without the second more documented

I won't turn down any, jab it in

But I'd prefer Oxford

So we are initiating the next trust wide escalation. Around 250 covid patients and nearly 90 ventilated with 26 in ICU. Forecast is for the peak to hit in another 3-4 weeks so the worse is yet to come. Not sure how some of the nursing and medical staff will cope.

Thoughts are with you over the next couple of months Homer. Easy for me to say but pace yourself. You are still in a very long marathon. I mentioned a month ago I saw next door neighbour who is an ICU nurse who has had Covid. She looked knackered Bless her and the rest.
