Next door neighbours are booked in for the middle of the week. Dad had his before Christmas but no news on my mum yet.
Let's pause with the negativity and celebrate a success.
My mum has had her first vaccination last Thursday and goes back a week Thursday for her second. It's the Pfizer one.
Now, let's look at the numbers to date.
How many people have been infected over the last year with Covid19?
3,357,361 till today.
How many have been vaccinated since it started?
3,559,179 up to and including 15 January.
The last 7 days saw 339,956 positive tests. We're vaccinating a similar number every day and this number will rise as teething problems are ironed out and the more mobile groups being jabbed. My neighbour Audrey is 90 and its been a faff getting her to the vaccination centre, when it comes to me, I can get myself there.
I think that those involved deserve a pat on the back. We'll have this beat soon.

Let’s be honest, we have only seen falls due to the lockdown, and more people being “forced” Into to be sensible. If you stopped the lockdown tomorrow there will be idiots back out on the streets. We have to get it into our heads that reducing unnecessary contact is the main way forward, for the time being. And if we do not have the common sense to realize that ourselves, then that’s why we have to be placed in a lock down situation. One thing that does annoy me is why a large family thinks it’s necessary for them All to go shopping to the supermarket, treating it like a family outing ! That needs to be changed.View attachment 80578
Admissions appear to have peaked in the south. From what I recall there’s roughly a 1 week lag between the peak of admissions and a peak of deaths. Means the next couple of weeks will probably the most brutal in the south after which we should start to see the situation improving. Not sure how the midlands and the north will progress.
Yes, there was as I started one the other week. However it didn't really get very popular and wasn't well used though.Didn't we have a 'Good News' thread somewhere. Rather says a lot about human nature....

people seem to like bad news more than good.
Sad state of affairs it's true.
It's a survival thing. But only up to a point. After that it's just miserable.This is what I meant about human nature....
