He was quite clear that he meant this Easter, in 4 months time. Personally, I'm feeling increasingly like 2021 will just be a repeat of 2020.

Paid Members Your Fight Site Posted January 7, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted January 7, 2021 There’s no way things are going to be back to “normal” by Easter. The UK has something like 65 million residents, and there’s no way each and every one is going to have had their two jabs by April. Even if they had, COVID isn’t going to disappear because people have had a couple of jabs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if they had, COVID isn’t going to disappear because people have had a couple of jabs. It’s not about making it disappear, it’s about making those who are vulnerable to it no longer being vulnerable to it. It isn’t fatal or damaging to the overwhelming population so they won’t need a vaccine. If by chance in the future  they are one of the tiny amount who get seriously ill, there’ll be a vaccine they can have.  But then we still don’t have anything in place at airports and the tories will fuck it up. The issue isn’t the quantity of vaccines available, it’s the materials needed to administer them, such as vials. On the subject of vials, I think it was the landlord of Hancock’s local WhatsApp’d him asking for a contract and got a multi million pound one to supply the vials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if they can vaccinate the vast majority of people who are likely to end up in hospital by then and are confident that the NHS can handle the remaining number of people estimated to end up in hospital then it'll be considered a massive success and things will probably and rightly open back up pretty sharpish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vamp Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Stopping the deaths would obviously be a wonderful achievement but that still leaves the impact of long Covid. We still don't really have any accurate numbers about how many people have it, how its impacting their lives, what percentage of people have it aren't in the "clinically vulnerable category" etc. Plus Hancock has said that the vaccine might need to be administered every six months. Its one thing to believe that this country can get its act together once and vaccine millions of people and quite another to assume that we can keep it up, or that the government won't get bored and pull funding for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However the priority is to vaccinate as many people as needed to get to a point where the NHS can cope long term with it. Once they get to that point they can comfortably drop restrictions so that a) the entire economy doesn't collapse and b) everyone doesn't lose their fucking minds from not being able to do anything, go anywhere or see anyone. This is the priority. Long COVID and everything else is completely secondary as it should be. As for whether vaccines need be re-administered or whatever there is no data around any of this either good or bad because both the diseases and the vaccines are new so no one knows how it'll go or can predict it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much. Essentially anyone without underlying conditions. The virus will pass through them without harm but, as I say, if they do get seriously ill, there will be a vaccine waiting for them. It’s why the have different levels of priority for who gets the vaccine first. Young healthy people are not on the priority list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And NHS resources won’t be as stretched as they are now because there will be a drop in cases requiring hospitalisation so survival chances are greatly improved.  Of course, this is theoretical and it’s the tories running the show, so it can still be fucked up massively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
