Re: Rugby NAMA thread Revisited Rugby
The auld ones in our office (60+) here have just popped out to get their first jab of the vaccine. I'm eligible in about a month, I believe, but won't be getting it as I am an anti-vaxxer

It would be better to partner with a local GP to have people even on an unofficial waiting list, bring them up to the nursing home at the end of the day and go from there.

I mean, they are, but you won't see that information in public in a million years.
Re: Rugby NAMA thread Revisited Rugby
56k doeses administered up to last Sunday. They were aiming for 35k, weren't they?
Good stuff, if accurate.
Edit, more detail.
77k up to yesterday. 69k healthcare workers, 8k care home residents.
Obviously it's easier to organise to get the HCWs done, hence the skewed numbers. Be nice to see the nursing home numbers getting up a bit more.

Re: Rugby NAMA thread Revisited Rugby
I've definitely seen those views on here over the last few months, stats is quite levelheaded comparatively. I don't think my views are purest, but what's best for society and the economy isn't the current mess and the west largely f**ked up their responsesEverReady wrote: ↑Thu Jan 14, 2021 12:59 pmActually what you have done is quite Trumpist. You have completely misrepresented the disparate views of people who are dubious of the Government repsonse. You have virtually nobody on this thread expressing the views you have said. Most views have had sound evidence behind them. Many have been turned out to be true. Some posters are one end of the spectrum like me who believes it's massive overkill and others like Stats vacillate. I wouldn't say the other end of the spectrum is weak but you know that's for you to decide. Then obviously outside of the normal people you have Botha and your crew on the opposite side scrapping it out to see who can be purestID2 wrote: ↑Thu Jan 14, 2021 8:45 amThere'd be plenty of Donald supporters on here if this was America going by all the conspiracies posted on this thread, probably larping around the Capitol, cammy in full airforce regalia. "it's just a flu" "it doesn't kill people" "the new strain is just a conspiracy by Boris Johnson" "opening pubs and restaurants doesn't contribute to spreading it" "nphet is making a power grab to take over the country" "here's a great article...dailymail.co.uk"Leinsterman wrote: ↑Wed Jan 13, 2021 7:57 pm I really don't see what the huge issue is. Do you want them to say 3 died today, 4 died yesterday, 5 on Monday etc?
Does it make them more dead?
There could be the fact that the deaths are only officially getting reported to NPHET at this stage.

The shit show in New York would tend to indicate this was the correct approach tbf. NY had a very strict list with fines if people not on the list got the vaccine which in turn has lead to dosess being binned. Mad shit all together.EverReady wrote: ↑Wed Jan 13, 2021 7:19 pm BB in the hospital with one vial the randomness of the vaccine distribution was extraordinary when you consider the amount of time they had. They got a delivery on day X and if you were there you might have gotten the vaccine. Made no difference what grade, whether you worked part-time, what risk you might have regarding age. They just doled it out and the lads came in the next day and went ehhh WTF when is the next delivery.

It'll be a doddle to get the nursing/care home residents done. Sure it's not as if they're going anywhere. Just blitz the place in an hour or two and you're done.

3854 positive swabs, 13.68% positivity on 28,178 swabs.
- Thursday, January 14th 2021
Good news on the positivity rate. That is some going on the number of tests preformed and analysed.

I find that keeping a straight line until the last moment to force both sides to acknowledge the other and move a bit for each other works best especially if done in an extra friendly manner. It goes against my devastating side stepping abilities but sometimes you have to to beat the rush defence.

Re: Rugby NAMA thread Revisited Rugby
Path etiquette is clearly dictated by how fantastic you reckon the arse is going to be. If it looks like it could be magnificent you have to start the oul pocket search 'the ohh shit did I loss my wallet'. The closer you get you get more frantic, a little grimace is good though keep it manly as in 'lost my wallet, maybe stolen, but so what there are foreign babies dying out there man'. Then when very near pause, one last pat of the pockets and just as they pass turn. Make sure to keep patting as they will glance and be looking for the tell tale perve so you need to be looking at the pocket area or phone as if you might ring the wallet police to report a theft. They will be satisfied that you are basically investigating a crime and you can walk after them with comfort

If they keep their word on the latest target of vaccines, I'm felling a bit better about the progress.
I'm just waiting though for more supply blame and IT issues to be an excuse, the latter that's surely in reserve.

Gav and Can they are genuinely laughing at us in the meetings beforehand. The news almost verbatim went like this:
Catriona: George how is it there
George: Critical and very serious and we are unsure of what the future holds though it is critical
Catriona: Thanks George. We now have Paul Reid.
Paul: Catriona I would first like to thank the Champions in the health service risking it all for us and to say we only have 30 ICU beds left.
Catriona: They are champions and Paul that is serious. What are you going to do when we have no ICU beds left!
Paul: We will use the other ICU beds. What we now call surge ICU beds for impact.
Catriona: Phewww and when they run out..These extra...
Paul: surge Catriona
Catriona:....surge beds
Paul: Well we go to the other *cough private ICU beds.
Catriona: Are these surge beds?
Paul: No. They are extra.
Catriona: When are we running out of beds Paul?
Paul: Which ones?
