sidcow Posted January 20, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted January 20, 2021 (edited) Oh man. Another record of 1,820 dead today. Grim, New infections still below 40,000 though albeit up from the last couple of days. However 343,163 vaccinated. If they can keep that up all week days I make that 5 x 343,163 = 1,715,815. They seemed to have done about 220,000 each weekend day so 440,000. I make that 2,155,815 in a week. And they have still not opened up all centers yet. Anyway it's clear that subject to supply they are going to be going way more than 2m a week. I reckon they are aiming for minimum 2.5m a week in reality. For those saying the figures don't add up, they have only said they are vaccinating adults over 18 so that's 53m to do. If they continue at 2.2m per week that's 24 weeks or 6 months taking us to end of June. Obviously they need to start doing the second shots so they will have to slow down the new ones entering the system. It seems feasible though, I still think they will be aiming to do 2.5m-3m per week when in full swing. Edited January 20, 2021 by sidcow 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 So is that 3,430 dead in the UK in the last 2 days. Absolutely unbelievable. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 It was only 9 months ago, that 600 deaths a day in Italy was being reported like a disaster movie. 1800 dead and its nothing. Absolutely mad. Imagine if those 5 days of Christmas had gone ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also wonder how many were added when they forced schools to stay open before Christmas holidays and made kids go in for that one day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great point, our school sent out a thing saying they’d had no school closures due to Covid from September to Christmas. Then in that 1 day I am aware of 2 positive cases in my daughters class alone. The politicians should be charged with something forcing the schools open on that day, and now we also have the data for all the cases amongst teachers across the country. Hundreds of deaths (at least) down to them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post trekka Posted January 20, 2021 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted January 20, 2021 My folks took a phone call from the local GP surgery today. They asked for my old man to get him in for the jab (in his 70s, has COPD). He said "what about my wife?" (also in her 70s but wasn't then on the initial call-out list). Both are now in tomorrow for the first dose. A relief I must say. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted January 20, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted January 20, 2021 Just been on Facebook, and there are still, still, plenty of morons on there saying it's all a myth, and no different from normal winter flu. I despair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a postive post on Facebook yesterday about how many people vaccinated and the comments genuinely made me angry. So, so many idiots spouting their uneducated moronic comments. There’s so many people sharing the view that it’s a scam, the vaccine is dangerous and they are the master race who can see through the lies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mom is 66 and has diabetes, so hopefully both get done soon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 An interesting angle I saw yesterday was that coronavirus was a plan by the elite to eradicate cash and make all payments electronic - and it has to be stopped. He’s a tradesman. I’m sure there’s no connection. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His profits are probably down by whatever the tax rate is I've only used cash once since the summer and that was when a mobile auto electrician came out and fixed my car. I even paid a mobile tyre fitter by card. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Electronic payments mean they will struggle to record a big enough loss on the books. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not the benefit of hindsight, there was widespread opposition, and they dug their heels in and did it anyway. The government have blood on their hands because they were too cowardly to give bad news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She infected multiple patients, four members of staff (one went on a ventilator and came off) and infected her own family. What the hell is wrong with some people. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
