Why All The Ruddy Fuss

[teacake44]

I'm all for making my feelings know if I think IMO that the government are messing up. But you have to give credit were credit is due. Not so much on AB but on TV/ local radio, for goodness sake stop wasting time discussing if people will go in the middle of the night for a vaccine. The government are trying to explore ALL ways of getting the vaccine out quick, if it proves that most are only turning up, up until 12/1.00am then that is still getting more people vaccinated is it not? I wish the media would stop bashing the idea, and maybe try and promote it more. Give it a ruddy rest media.

I think Boris has got his arriss into gear on this one
the pinch point is supply of vaccine which I dont think was forseen
( more likely to have been personnel and delivery)

[alavahalf]

There's only one person I would hope will give it a rest!

[Peter Pedant]

post what you like Teekers

how different, how VERY different when it was Torra TT posting four or five Brexit threads ...... oh yes
AB cdnt get enough

[teacake44]

The supply was always going to be a problem, but they are trying to get things rolling quicker when they do have it. At the end of the day if you're invited to have a late night vac, and you feel you can't do it just say no and wait, there are many further down the line will take you're place.

// there are many further down the line will take you're place. //

there most certainly are. when the vaccination program started, I was in a group that was 5th on the list. as of the start of this week, that same group is now moved down to 7th. since when, it's being suggested that further groups are to be prioritised - police, shop workers, teachers, and the homeless.

no argument with the prioritisation - but why couldn't more deserving causes have been seen at the start?

TC, I need a lie down, something not being blamed on the government? What did you have in your tea this morning?

Wondering who’s going to turn up at 3.35 am is a reasonable thing to do.

[drmorgans]

The 24-hour opening thing wasn't really aimed at us, the public, it was health staff, nurses, doctors, who work overnight, shifts etc.

[teacake44]

13.07 They have clearly cocked up, but now trying to put it right. But again the fuss about night vaccines is just looking to manufacture problems.

[TrevorThePug]

The 'current' claim about overnight vaccination uptake is really because it is the elderly and vulnerable being seen to first. I wouldn't want Doris from the village sitting outside the local town's leisure centre at 3am on a cold January night.

Once it roles down the priority tree I'm sure people will be happy to attend whenever it is offered.

[teacake44]

ich 13.10 Anyone who is able and willing, who have got the slightest amount of oil in their lamp,. you really don't have to think about it.

[Zacs-Master]

'just looking to manufacture problems.'

Mmm, who does that remind me of?

[teacake44]

ttp, When the government were thinking about this, I don't think for one second that they were thinking of old people walking the streets at 3.30 am. Its called advance thinking, for a change by the government.

[Sunk]

Do you have a link.

I have not seen or heard anyone criticising 24/7 rollout.
It is the correct thing to do, if we have enough vaccine (people and equipment) to implement it.

Boris announced a target of 13 million vaccinated in 6 weeks which was commendable. That would be just over 2 million a week. So far we are doing half that. I do hope that vaccinating through the night isn’t just a way of meeting a target that was not properly thought out in the first place.

[teacake44]

Your wasting your time again Zac.

[Zacs-Master]

So are you, but it doesn't seem to stop you.

//// how VERY different when it was Torra TT posting four or five Brexit threads ...... oh yes ///

Not to mentions another poster's relentless tirades against Muslims, over 1,000 posts. And the hordes of Corbyn/Abbott smears when they weren't even in Government. Oh yes indeed.

[Sunk]

// Its called advance thinking, for a change by the government. //

I would have been more convinced it was forward planning by the Government if they had announced it weeks ago when they revealed their 13 million target.
A cynic might think that the Government target was never possible and it was only when they realised they were heading for a huge fail, that they have decided to ramp up delivery by opening longer.

[Zacs-Master]

Canary, You've posted 60 questions which mention Brexit in either the headline or the body of the title wording.

[weecalf]

If polititicians stop lying and getting it wrong we would have to think of a new name for them .
