Every day the vaccine rolls out

[GUNBOAT]

That is defo true, heard it a few times today saying they will get vaccinated "no questions asked" Realistically, there is no point in all of us getting the vaccine and abiding by the rules if others are just going about their business as per and mingle.
The Chicken Factory issue wasn't helped seemingly by certain folk feeling under the weather but still going to their work because they couldn't afford to take time off.

I'm sure in America a few years back they had some sort of sting operation going on where they sent out flyers etc to illegals and on the run folk , saying they had won some competition and if they turned up at a certain store they would receive their prizes.

And believe it or not.... hundreds did, only to be lifted on the spot.

Now.... I'm not suggesting we should ............... (och yi get the picture )

I watched something on the telly that you are describing mate but it was people with warrants out for their arrest that were snared.

Yeah, that sounds about right.
I'm sure they wouldn't do that with the vaccine...(would they) 😁

I really didnt think numbers in the previous cohorts would keep creeping up, but i am being proved wrong. Just over 133k to the million and that could be broken Wednesday all going well.

99.6% (99.5) of older adults care home residents, 90% staff.
93% of all adults care home residents, 78% (77) staff.
95% (94) of over 80s in the community.
67% (64) of 75-79s in the community.
29% (24) of 70-74s in the community.

With normal Flu vaccination uptake around 75%, as long as the weather has been kind enough, i think we will see past that in the 75-79s, and 70-74s is over a third of the way there. I also noted that younger people in the shielding category are being vaccinated just now as well.

I expect from next week, the pace for first doses will slow down as second dose vaccinations are to ramp up from next week.

Saw in the Courier that despite the weather, people were still making the effort to get to The Caird Hall for their jabs, which caused a problem with the late ones clashing with the early ones. Credit to the vaccinators as more were called in and i hope everyone got sorted out!

We have to be realistic with this and expect a few bumps in the road, but the light is shining bright just now!

March is too early for me as with just under 3 weeks to then, we are still just below a 7 day average of 900 infections a day, although that is 200 down from the previous weekend. I would actually hope, for purely selfish reasons, that Nic calms her desire to get kids back to school early by a couple of weeks because of the prevalence of the virus.

I do believe that the JCVI are looking at how to vaccinate the majority of us once everyone over 50 is dealt with, and they look to be considering Teaching staff, Emergency Services, shop workers and other essential workers all dealt with first, and while i think they should be sorted out sooner, i still think that is acceptable.

watch the oil and gas 'essential' workers get pumped up the pecking order, costing us 800k a month on testing just now which is absolutely incredible

No chance OA regretfully and even if it is the back for then, then it will be Tier 3 or even the normal ‘non enhanced’ Tier 4 as opposed to the super Tier 4 we’re in currently. There’s a Scottish Election in May. There is absolutely no danger they will risk further COVID waves politically before then by lifting restrictions too soon.
