Re: Coronavirus update

Pretty quiet in cardiff city centre today am.....quite shocked to see but well pleased.

Think many have done their shopping earlier than usual this year or done it all online. Have a friend who works in Asda and he was saying the last week has been unusually quiet for early December.

The city centre seemed reasonably quiet towards the end of last week, but Asda in Leckwith was the busiest I’ve ever seen it yesterday mid-morning. That said, I doubt many people there were Christmas shopping as it’s not that big a store, so I suppose it was just one of those things.

I think a lot of people got the bulk of their Christmas shopping done the week after the firebreak lockdown ended. I guess many feared further restrictions, so took the opportunity then. The city centre was certainly busy that week.

Re: Coronavirus update

When a Government leader has to stand up and say something is not out of control it's usually a fair sign that something is out of control.

It reminds me of 1979 when Jim Callaghan had to fly back from an overseas function in a hurry and when he got off the plane he said "Crisis? What crisis?"

Re: Coronavirus update

Anyone know anyone who has had a letter about a vaccination date?

My better half has had an email from the health board asking for her details. Hasn't had a vaccine appointment yet.

Think they plan to roll it out to GP surgery’s over the next few weeks. My mothers not heard anything yet and she’s 87.

I read about people working on this, ie the way it combats a virus, for the last 10 years, almost like they’ve been waiting for such an event. One of the reasons we have the vaccines so quickly along with funding being no issue.

Given there is only 800000 vaccines in the UK - sufficient for 400000 people - I'm not surprised.

Wasn’t there supposed to be a few more million by the end of December? Wales got 40,000 of that 800,000 I heard. I wonder how many over 85’s there are in Wales?

Remind me again, when is that new covid facility at the Heath going to be up and running with 400 extra beds? It's the 1st December isn't it? you know, the one to replace the one in the Stadium.

Except it's not is it? I think 140 are available and the rest will be ready just when they're not needed. You cannot beat preparation and planning.
