Isn’t the plan to work down in age, and shielding people are only just before the general population?

Oh I should correct myself, shielding get it before those aged 60, they get bumped up a couple of levels.

I was expecting to wait until March or April so Jan/Feb would be great. February woul represent 14 months under house arrest for muggins so I would welcome early release.

Seems a long time ago, but did any of the 750,000 people who volunteered back in March evey get used?
Was wondering if some couldn’t be trained to give people the vaccine
Suspect not, anyway we have a wealth of medically expert Dr’s Receptionists more than capable! 
Was working out that a city the size of Plymouth (250,000) with 50 jabbers could do both shots in 50 days if each gave 100 jabs a day
I probably should be in government

Very very good question.
I got very little activity through the app and instead joined a local group who did basics like fetching groceries/ meds and befriending etc and found that to be much more flexible/ useful.
Err no thanks. I don’t have much faith in practice nurses not to prang you with a needle, let alone a bunch of inexperienced amateurs who will have no expertise when you need it most - ie when something goes wrong!

I stick needles in myself several times a day, so I’d be happy to self-administer! 
I received an email from the volunteers asking if I would like training up to stick needles in people.
Fuk dat.

Won’t be long before it arrives here, unions gutted, occupational health gutted, HSE gutted, public health gutted… Same pattern.

Here you to the top of the vaccine list though. Out of interest, what pay were they offering.

Shielding +>60
Anything that lets thigs get back to normsl is welcome.
I want live music back
I want to feel comfortable in going to gigs.
Vaccination should address both of those.
We are unlikely to have a Covid passport system, so stuff won’t open up until a while load of people are immunised. Masks might be around next winter as well…
60 years old performers and audience is about par for a lot of the gigs I go to
