To offer context to Italy's vaccine stock when blocking the shipment to Australia last week, on 'we need it more' grounds aiui, it had the largest supply of Ox-AZ doses in the EU: more than 1.5M (and loads of Pfizer and Moderna as well).
[Source: European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control]
But by 5 Mar Italy had used just 322,801 of its Ox-AZ doses (~21%).
Germany had used about a tird of its Ox-AZ supply (1.4M) and France a quarter of its 1.1M.

a Teacher that teaches students in grades Kindergarten thru 12. where 12 indicates senior year of high school. the last grade before college/university. Wifey works K-4, so she's part of that group of teachers. I guess they are being prioritized before college level teachers/professors

Good morning,
There is article here https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-56312817 - NHS pay-rise demo organiser fined £10,000 in Manchester
How would be people here react to an immediate NHS strike, especially if it included stopping giving new vaccine doses?
I am generally quite right wing and have always been troubled by the amount of power the Government took over covid and the lack of kickback by both politicians and the general population.
Now the right to protest over working condition has hit the covid restrictions.
It is certainly possible that everyone will ignore this as an isolated incident, or the union movement might see this as an existential question and feel they have to start organising mass rallies.
I appreciate that the police appear to have had no other options open to them, but that doesn't resolve the issue on a larger scale.
Bye
Ian

Did I not read that employment-related protests were one of the few exemptions for public gatherings? Or maybe that's a USA thing ...

Political demos are exempt. I understand you have to inform the police you are intending to meet etc. The police have broken up other demos and meetings, whilst letting others continue. Hopefully this fine will be rescinded.

That exemption was removed, I think in the November lockdown. I had attended political demonstrations in defence of a local cycleway during Lockdown 1.
An exception for Picketing was added on Boxing Day. A further exception for two-person outdoor (or common hallways in things like blocks of flats) meetings for political campaigning was added to the law today, which looks badly phrased and allows non-candidate campaigners seeking to influence the elections to go door-to-door too.

I would be disappointed and I would blame the government's deliberate pay insult for it.

Because using your groups in brackets, a 55 year old would fall into 2 groups
Yeah I messed up on the numbers. But you get the idea. It was originally 50+, 55+, 60+ etc. Now an arbitrary 56+

It's a Government ploy, they've worked out there's loads of 55 year olds waiting to take their pension so hope to kill em off!
