COVID Vaccine !

[mjr]

A small example: my grandmother didn't like me helping to peel potatoes because I 'took too much off'.

Her attitude was based purely on her memories of rationing when potatoes - and lots of other foods - were in short supply.

Maybe it was purely that or maybe you did indeed take too much off... I'm guessing she's not a cyclechat poster.

Few alive today will realise the lengths people went to in order to stretch their food under rationing.

I hope you kept some of the peelings as evidence for this court.

 

[Ajax Bay]

Yes. Peelings or it didn't happen.

Fundamentally different from the queue jumping by individual teachers deliberately subverting the system, that I highlighted yesterday.

Using leftover doses at the end of the day is sensible - but there should be a better protocol for allocation.

An individual deliberately inserting themselves in the queue for vaccines is morally repugnant.

I didn't think it was entirely clear from the story and the various conflicting accounts that it was using up stuff left over at the end of the day. It was quite a few people and they had all had to travel some distance for the vaccine.

Mrs Lane does tend to take quite a lot off when she peels. She helped my mum with the peeling and it was definitely not appreciated. Mind you they didn't exactly get on like a house on fire prior to that.

but is was not the case of individuals inserting themselves in the queue

Around 11 million now inc' very roughly 0.5m 2nd doses

New case numbers and occupied NHS beds also falling - the latter being approx 7000 down on peak.

Making my blood boil time: one family member (60) invited for vaccine re chronic health condition ie ahead of her age related priority ranking. Going tomorrow at 4.25pm and taking partner along in case there are any spares. Both were serial rule offenders at Xmas, both still are - and this is the person who said "***k Tier 4 (London) no one is stopping her seeing her daughters when she wants to".

No justice in the world - they ought to be at the back of the queue along with the rest of people who won't obey the rules.

Sorry re mildly ranting.

People who obey the lock-down rules are likely people who want to properly wait their turn in the vaccine queue and vice versa unfortunately. On the plus side they sound like potential super spreaders so probably good to give them the vaccine.

Ranting perfectly understandable i think spokey.
I too know of a bunch of londoners of a certain age who were popping round each others houses in groups on a merrygoround , their dodgy logic/justication being that many of them lived alone.
On a point of fact, someone who had just tagged along wouldn't be able to get a jab would they?

Seems from our local Facebook page that we are down to 65 year olds here.

I would hope not but there seems to be some issue over how left over vaccines are distributed.

I think they are being optimistic tbh but the principle is annoying - how can anyone be that selfish?

Mate of mine going next week to get his jab, early 30's but shielding due to Crohn's.

If she was that bothered, why did she peel them at all?
Just a wash would suffice.
Plenty nutrition in the skin and I've never peeled a potato in my adult life, whole spud gets eaten.
