Don't tier the pants out of it.

@WaxOnFeckOff I’d go anytime, anywhere, and take people anytime. This needs 24/7 effort in my opinion.

Martini

It needs to be done though. We are effectively imprisoned and vaccination is the big bunch of keys slipped through the bars.

Martini sounds good. It may be a little late though.

@icanboogieboogiewoogie you’re probably too young! The slogan was anytime, any place, anywhere 😊

@Cismyfatarse happily have a marine biologist give me a vaccine it's pretty tricky injecting fish! (also as a marine biologist in a past roles!)

I think I would happily go for a vaccination at 2am at least it would be quiet and quick!

What's the logic for people suggesting 24hrs?

What's the limiting factors in working 12hrs.
Space, plenty of empty places, sports, school, village, church halls?
Brewdog have offered up their pubs complete with fridges. Hotels have big dance halls also with plenty fridges.

Staff, you'd need double the staff to work 24hrs? So same number of staff double the venues.

Oh I like what little sleep I get and don't like driving at night very much nowadays. Not that I am top priority but I really couldn't imagine me trying to drag my 80 year old mother (when she was alive) out the house after 6pm when she'd be in her jammies and ready for bed. Especially if it was miles and miles away.

6/7 in the morning until 10 at night would seem about right. 2 shifts of 7 or 7.5 hours each, bit of a crossover and some set up before and tidy up after.

The link that LizzieMacQueen posted upthread for the survey is the right one. Cheers Lizzie.

Waxon exactly i can see a logic in doing 8.30am-8.30pm anything much beyond that will have people sleeping in forgetting about it. Moaning because they need to drag kids out after bedtime etc.

I don’t really get any sleep so it would be fine. It’s a national emergency

Not my lack of sleep. The need to vaccinate

WouldbeGood I still don't see why you'd do 24hrs.
That involves doubling the injectors. Why not double the venues too and keep them as daytime?

@WouldBeGood

Not my lack of sleep. The need to vaccinate

My lack of sleep is often a national emergency!

DH now has toothache after his dental treatment and will probably keep me awake even more. I know that sounds very unsympathetic but I get murderous during the night when he is snoring like a drain. I've been kind and taken him warm milk and brufen and paracetamol. Now I just have to stay up until I think he's asleep and creep to bed.

@WaxOnFeckOff no need to explain mine had toothache recently 😃

Double everything! Just free us! I’ve had enough

Not managed to read everything but could we not inject ourselves like women do after c - sections. Maybe that's crazy. I just need this to be over now.

@WouldBeGood

Double everything! Just free us! I’ve had enough

I did what I said I wouldn't and got involved in a coronavirus thread about whether an 81 year old with both doses of vaccine should be "allowed" to go to the supermarket. It was fairly amicable in the end ;)

Surprising the amount of people that think they've stayed in to help save the elderly so how very dare they go about their business now and they should stay in until the younger folk are allowed to do stuff instead of coming out and inflicting their potentially germy selves in our spaces... so don't hold your breath...

I've had two sections and don't remember being let loose with a needle, what do folks get to inject nowadays? I have to say I wouldn't have a problem with it either.

Kurt- I didn't know ladies have to do injections after c-section. But it adds to my argument that we don't need 100s of nurses to do them. We just need 100s people who have spent a morning practising on a lorry load of tomatoes. Hand a handful who can deal with any unexpected reactions.

Plenty people do injections cancer, fertility, diabetes, c-section. There must be loads of others.

Day 2 and I’m already feeling like the worst mother ever and everything has gone to pot, poor wee DS (10) has got himself all stressed out, his teacher is posting work twice a day on seesaw and was asking them to log in via Teams which DS has missed both times, he’s managed to do some of the work but has gotten a bit mixed up says he’s stressed out.

Forgot to add DH is at home but working full time and I’m in school working full time. I sat for an hour with him tonight, I think I’m going to sit with him every night now. DD1 is doing Highers and stressed her teachers won’t give her the grades she would have got (happened last year she was downgraded), she has anxiety and gets super worried. DD2 well had a huge fight with her tonight she’s doing N5s, she’s very clever but very lazy, she’s coasted through school so far did very little and always got As, not subjects like chemistry have gotten hard in that she has to work, she’s complaining the teacher has put on irrelevant work not enough time to complete (I think it’s because she actually has to make an effort), I think not being at school and the lack of accountability will not be good for her at all and I’m so worried about her. And then there’s DD3 S1 she just gets on with it. So the four of them in the house all logging on with DH on zoom calls about 6 hours a day.

Me feeling like shit for not being at home helping them when I’m teaching other children.

Don’t say that, @WaxOnFeckOff! I’ve obedient but will run amok soon.

DP injects himself with meds every week, so it can be done, but I think they need professionals there in case of reactions.

@sweetkitty don’t be hard on yourself. To be honest, I’d be glad to be out at work rather than hanging about at home, annoying DS as he’s getting on with stuff.

I agree they need professionals in each venue incase of reaction but the vast majority don't need to be qualified nurses.

10 days worth of blood thinners. It's a modified needle so it's a plunger you just push in to your thigh. Not sure though if vaccines need to go into a muscle?
