    It will speed up significantly once the doses don't need to be individually prescribed and one of the vaccines with easier storage conditions is approved.

    I flew in the day before the UK got locked out of Europe. Not having to go to work next year is going to be sweet.

    Popped into the supermarket on lunch and my word was it heaving. Secured some milk and dashed.

    It seems a bit mad that bureaucratic form-filling rules are proving any sort of impediment to vaccine distribution (or if not actually impeding it, making it exponentially more expensive).

    I see the EU have just approved the Pfizer one. Nice one lads, finger on the pulse and all.

    Prescriptions are a pretty big deal from a legal perspective so I can understand why they are needed until a PGD is sorted.

    I don't understand the logistics behind a PGD but I agree you would've thought they had enough time to sort one whilst the vaccines were in development. Maybe they can't be done until after approval or something, I don't know.

    As RL said, it will speed up significantly. The major hamstring right now is that Pfizer are trying to scale up production rapidly while more and more countries approve it. When Oxford and Moderna get approved we’ll be smashing through the immunisation programme. Wouldn’t be surprised to see the vast majority of the country vaccinated by Easter.

    I hope you're right, but there is close to 70 million people in the UK. That seems an awful lot to get through by Easter. Even if you do discount the kids, etc.

    If they persevere with their plan to get all the pharmacies doing them and the supply chain can keep up, then we could rattle along pretty quickly.

    This stopping of exports/imports at the French crossing really is bollocks. They're acting as if the new strain on appeared over the weekend. It's already in your country fellas.

    Almost as if France is using it as a demonstration of things to come during these Brexit talks.

    As to the first bit, without having any knowledge of the field, wouldn't that be more to do with them being for illegal high drugs than for any vaccine relevant concern?

    And yeah, you would have thought that if you can get regulatory approval on the fly whilst developing the thing you could also do the legal admin, but maybe not. Knowing lawyers, probably not.

    It is a lot, but we're going to be pumping resources into this. They'll be drafting doctors, GPs, nurses, med students, pharmacists etc to immunise. Even if we can't get everyone done by then, we can probably cover all old people and co-morbidities. Maybe finish up with young and healthy people by summer at the latest. I'm confident.

    It's a big downward curve as well right? Loads more ancient fuckers about so by working oldest -> youngest you smash through the risk curve quite quickly

    It's a new vaccine, but the majority of risk groups are the same people we give the flu jab every year. We really should be getting this done double quick.

    Once all the pensioners and write-offs are done (which is what a third of the country at most?) you could lift most restrictions.

    Surely at that point we can lift all restrictions. Its not going to be killing any once they're all vaccinated.

    In terms of risk, I think this is right. Once we get the vulnerable out the way we hopefully will massively cut hospital admissions and deaths. Then when we immunise the left over population we can see case numbers come down. That’s my guess anyway.

    I'm not so sure on that front. It will be better, but Long Covid is still fucking over a lot of young people and they won't want a load of 20-30 somethings with 60 year old hearts and lungs.

    2 good pieces of info from BBC News@10:

    - a prison guard meeting inmates for just 1 minute managed to infect them so even short time exposure isn't safe (previous info talked of 15 minute exposure as being some arbitrary guideline).

    - a diner in a South Korean restaurant managed to infect two fellow diners who were sitting 4m and 6m away due to air circulation vaused by A/C. If this is the end of A/C, COVID continues to give us wins upon wins

    I thought the prison guard was infected by one of the prisoners, but that whole segment was more confusing than a government approved tier system.

    Yeah I thought that might have been the case, I was only half-watching but I then thought it would have made more sense if the guard had infected multiple inmates rather than simply ome guard being infected. The lesson here is, don't try and assume this shit

    The government's previous forecasts haven't been so hot, so I'd take that with a rather large pinch of salt.

    700,000 a week would be 3 million a month, i.e. 1 in 22 people to get it just in that month. That sounds like a lot to me.

    We’re shutting up hotels and restaurants from Christmas Eve again, inter county travel ban from Stephen’s Day, and the UK travel ban into New Years.
