As slow as the roll out here is, what I do find encouraging is how quickly the second jabs are being administered.I finally got my first jab date yesterday for this coming Tuesday, got the second date and time for three weeks later.Ironically, there’s a number of friends back in the U.K. who were telling me recently how they’d had their first jabs some time ago and singing the praises of the U.K. roll out whilst telling me I should have stayed there, who will still be waiting for their second once I’m completed.Let’s hope that the extended gap between U.K. jabs doesn’t prove to be a mistake in weakening its effectiveness.But it’s interesting to read that there are already a number of hospitalisations in the U.K. amongst those who’ve only had one jab and have contracted the Indian variant.

Average death rate last 7 days Spain 107 UK 10. When you consider the population of the UK is almost 50% larger than Spain what you have suggested re mistake is rubbish. 7X107 = 749 x150% = 1123 compares with 7 X 10 = 70. Therefore the UK stupid policy has saved only 1053 lives in one week shame on them!New cases in Spain daily average last 7 days was 7,380 and UK 2,252. Anyone else think the UK has got it wrong. Adjust Spain's for the smaller population and they have 391% more new cases than the UK.Derek
What’s really hacking me off is that within the UK there has been from day one an element of society for many different reasons that have done their level best to undermine every positive step forward. I saw that clown Burnham on the news demanding more money more vaccines, more resources, bleating that there should be no more lockdowns in the north west. What he won’t answer is why after being in a nearly constant restricted lockdown for best part of a year its still a shambles, what is the issue with these people just why can’t they do what’s needed for the good of the country. Gumidge at the big house needs to get tough with these areas otherwise we’re going to be on this carousel for years.
"So I would have to say whether by great judgement or incredible luck the UK has got it right and the numbers coming out daily certainly support that"I think that the UK Government were chancers and with a down to earth (feet on the ground) style they played their cards and they won. I fully expect when the review of how they handled the pandemic it will reveal that they acted well throughout with the balancing act of saving lives one on side to the cost on the other.I would have thought the vast majority like the current style as is reflected in the ballot box.On a personal note having had the two vaccinations I am under medical investigation for a blood clot which they tell me has nothing to do with the vaccination. A real worry having endured two hospital visits the first did not show the source of the clot and I am now waiting nervously for results of further investigation by the way of a scan. I actually feel 100% and the only initial effects were feeling cold and a little tried after the first jab. Derek
