@catogrande Nobody in the world does a queue like the poms.

@catogrande said in Coronavirus - UK:
@scribe I went to a hub too and I was really impressed with how it was being managed. The flow of people allowed in was strictly controlled but they were still getting the numbers through. When I got through the registration process ( couple of minutes at most) and got in to the main hall, there was a queue of around 30 people waiting to go into 8 vax stations. Five minutes of queuing and I was done. All the time I was there the queue remained about the same number, emphasising the control factor.
All round very impressive.
I know 1-2 people involved in setting up the operation - operational process specialists or geeks I worked with a few years back.
From what I've heard the end-end process, from vaccines being ready to distribute to people leaving the car park, was developed and tested in Q2/Q3 last year before people were trained on the process.
I'd imagine it's managed tightly with MI being analysed daily on things like thruput, no-shows, queueing time to receive the jab, etc and that's being fed back to tweak and improve efficiency.

Read a piece at weekend that success of rollout was critically related to the access which was available to a very decent database. PPE not so much.
-
@pakman I think the success of the rollout can actually be given to Boris.
Because I think in around May/June last year he called a senior meeting and said "Well, we've royally fucked up everything to do with this pandemic, and we must turn it around. Throw everything we've got, literally everything, at the vaccination program"

Nearly 874,000 COVID-19 vaccinations registered in the UK yesterday. An incredible effort.
And I was one of them. It certainly is a well oiled machine. I was onsite no more than 3 min at my local vaccination hub.
So how far down this fucking table do we need to go?

The real answer in terms of UK domestically IS Easter.
But Boris pandering to SAGE so May 17 will hold.Overseas travel depends muchly on how Europeans and others get their **** together.

So to put it another way, do you think that when a critical number of people have been vaccinated we can just go about our lives domestically?

In my mind once the over 50s are done, domestic restrictions ought to be minimal.

Yep that's my thought process too, especially when you see the numbers in that table.
Unfortunately the rumblings are that we're going to return to the previous lockdown cycles throughout the coming year

God I hope not. I do not see that as a feasible option. Not enough buy in from the populace. Including me.

Boris clearly changing to a be pessimistic strategy to manage expectations.
A year of positivity hasn't worked out for him.
This things going nowhere and we must live with it. Eradication is not possible.

Impossible if you don't close borders.
Death needs to be accepted and life lived.

I don't read it that way.
I think BJ is going for [extra long] lockdown in time saves nine.
So I do expect masks on public transport to stay with us. And potentially some social distancing/table service restrictions if there's a blip.
Key metric is hospital ICUs.
But with over 50s and vulnerable (fat) vaccinated, that metric ought to stay low.
AND NO MORE LOCKDOWNS.

Oh yes.

@pakman The key has always been the hospital admissions and ICU in particular. I actually think that it was realised fairly early on that the disease could be contained rather than eradicated and had to be managed until a containment programme was with us.
