O/T. The Government's handling of Covid

[Ram59]

Only 1.3million Britons have been vaccinated in the first month of the critical programme, as the sluggish roll out fails to gather steam. It has been plagued by supply and staffing shortages, logistical problems and bureaucratic barriers that have strangled the scale-up.

Now who would have expected that?

Come on Swale, you write this, on a day when the media is full of the facts that over 2.6 million jabs (2.3 million people) have been issued up until today, a fraction over a month.

When you spout things like this, how can we be expected to believe 'facts', which you claim to be an expert in?

Question: which is greater A or B ?

A, 27 x 2
B, 1 x 4

The answer is B, of course.




The little old UK has given out more vaccines in 4 weeks than the 27 EU countries have in 2 weeks.

My lot started less than a week ago and we've done 35K so far................ slow but sure. They had planned to do more but we keep getting given less doses than we ordered and were originally yold we'd be getting.......

....which extrapolates to a mere 49 years to complete the whole population. For Gods sake I hope there isn't a Schwaledale on social media in your area

The Israelis seem to be showing the way with what looks like ‘drive thru’ facilities. They’ve done 20% already in three weeks.

As ever...brilliant logistics but dubious morality in relation to the Palestinians, although that might be an oversimplification.

Sluggish -says who, where’s your benchmark?

Failing to gather steam - says who, And just to correct you (again), logically if it was 1.3 million on jan 6 and the same source has stated 2.3 million by yesterday, by deduction that’s gathering steam

‘Plagued’ - says who apart from a sensationalising media and folk who suck it up

You are actually part of the problem Swale, and I don’t just mean Covid. Now who would have expected that?

Edit I’ve just seen you taking the **** out of the elderly now, jeez how low will you stoop? Tell you what, there’s a young lad with a stutter on tv, do you want a link?

[AdiSalisbury]

I'm pissing myself at this - some over 80 year olds are turning down the Pfizer vaccine saying they would rather wait for the "British one", they will **** themselves when they find out the Oxford one isn't "British". OMG the mentality of these ****s!

They're over 80, cut them some slack. You're a thick **** at your age.

[Geoff Parkstone]

They probably won't vaccinate the Palestinians, could solve a lot of problems in their view. A sort of final solution, ironically.

Are there really 44.5 million people in Holland?

35000*52*49 = 89 million jabs, 2 jabs each = 44. 5 million people.

But there are only 17m people in Holland

Fake news 😉

Either that or a lot of refugees that can't get in here any more elect to go to the 2nd best English speaking country in Europe (geographically, that us)
