Engineering is on the right lines I think. I heard two elderly people behind me the other day in the queue in the supermarket (still no sign of people thinking they should come in singly so we were all out in the rain waiting to go in!) saying that could meet up with friends once they have both had the jabs and wasnt it a shame that they had to wait for the 2nd one!
These are the sorts of people we need to get through to. Still think short sharp ads splashed over the news would help. Some people just need it spelt out to them. Not fancy slides with tiny graphs that just confuse people.
Of course there are the people who just carry on doing their own thing without a thought for anyone else who are really too dense to recognise that its probably going to be THEM that will end up being affected.
Shockingly I also believe that the reason vaccine delivery isnt being reported is because the site then becomes a terrorist target. How awful is that!
Anyway, Oxford is only 25 miles away from me. We are very very proud of you.
I have volunteered to be a steward but have taken to actually writing to the head of my large surgery as I havent heard anything back.
That is for another thread. Red Tape in the NHS....
Hoping that my Mum nearly 90 will get an invite for her one soon. She is London and can get to the surgery under her own steam. I dont want to call the surgery and clog up the phones but it has been awfully quiet.
Honestly having worked with government for many many years - the first few weeks will be quiet. They are not used to working so quickly but they SHOULD become quicker as they see more and more of their colleagues giving out the vaccine. They never want to be first.
I am also thinking - who would we have wanted to run this project in industry? Andy Street? Someone used to the commercial world and used to working fast.
