Another interesting location locally is McClarens Head Office. They have been vaccinating for a couple of weeks already. Apparently they are very speedy 😂

😅 too late to help their own poor Lando though - hope he gets well soon.

Inastatus · 07/01/2021 10:30

Obviously laughing at the countesses comment not the fact that Lando has Covid!!

@sashagabadon wow that’s impressive!

J&J vaccine will be a real boost to getting more vaccinated. DH knows the clinical lead on this one, and they are very pleased with the results.

Thanks Woolly  this is promising

cathyandclare · 07/01/2021 12:08

Great inside news Woolly on J and J, halving the work and 30 million ordered.

Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen pharmaceuticals unit will supply an initial 30 million doses on a not-for-profit basis for emergency use in the pandemic, with an option for an additional 22 million doses

The MHRA have said they are upping staffing so they can get batches of OxAZ approved much more quickly - in 5 days rather than 20.

(Sorry, I read it in the Daily Fail. Sorry sorry sorry. Also an interesting article there by a German journalist saying how much the UK is doing than the EU. Sorry.)

That's great news. I was reading that the J&J vaccine could be particularly important for developing countries. The logistics of giving two doses to people could be tricky, so the J&J one being a single dose is a huge advantage.

Growth on Zoe looks to be slowing - only 69 more new cases today than yesterday, according to Twitter.

We all have the odd glimpse at the Daily Fail @FuzzyPuffling, don’t feel too bad. Though I tend to just peep through my fingers at it these days.

During the last lockdown my husband used to wind me up by screenshotting and sending me the most Daily Mail headlines he could find. Our particular favourite was ‘lockdown dentist told me to fill my sons tooth with babybel cheese wax’

Growth on Zoe looks to be slowing - only 69 more new cases today than yesterday, according to Twitter.

Zoe seems to always be ahead of the curve when it comes to trends which is good news. It’s also shown a consistent drop in London cases for four consecutive days now.

Inastatus · 07/01/2021 14:42

@FourTeaFallOut - brilliant headline!

Sebw · 07/01/2021 14:46

Just out of interest, has anyone heard what the uptake of the vaccine is. So how many are having it vs refusing. Fingers crossed most are having it.

TheChineseChicken · 07/01/2021 14:53

Well, if the doomsayers on here are to be believed, no one wants the vaccine and we’ll never be free. No more gigs or festivals ever

FourTeaFallOut · 07/01/2021 14:59

I haven't seen any concrete figures. Last week the Guardian reported that the uptake has been high. If the Guardian couldn't find a way to engineer some doubt into the equation, I can only image it must have been very high indeed.
