Re: Coronavirus update

I reckon May before pubs are open to just serve alchohol. The ridiculous substantial meal bollox a bit before.

Re: Coronavirus update

I think they should be open for over 70s and velnerable people by mid February.
Off to the pub.

My kids have had about 6 weeks of substantial schooling since March. The effects are catastrophic. My one son is extremely gifted and is getting increasingly frustrated, bored and worse disillusioned. My one daughter is badly missing contact with her friends. Opening pubs before schools would be the death knell of any Government. They had already done that in the summer, the result a few teachers at our school were laid low having picked up the virus in a pub get together. The next result, whole classes getting isolated because of contact with another teacher who had picked up the virus in a pub.

I, for one, am excited for the inevitable stand off between vaccinated over 70s and the young unvaccinated bar staff

I think schools will open, too much damage being done as stated by many others.

Re: Coronavirus update

1,610 deaths today in the Uk - the highest yet and yet there were only eight reported in Wales.

Be interesting to know the average age of all these deaths? Pretty sure it’s not 83 like the first wave....probably more like 60, which adds more weight to the argument that this age group, who are out working etc....are currently the most vulnerable

Strange that it should come to light now to divert attention from Drakeford's stupid comments.

I reckon Alun Davies took one for his party.

I didn't realise you were such a cynic!

A couple of concerning stories out there regarding vaccines. One sees UK figures dropping on each of the last three days and the other concerns the decision to stretch the gap between the two jabs to twelve weeks - Israel, who raced ahead of everyone else in dispensing vaccines have had a spike in cases amid comments that the vaccine was proving "less effective than we thought".

Pfizer always said that the success rate in trials on one dose was 52%. The 'experts' extrapolated data from the trial work and concluded that it was 90% effective. The BMA in Wales maintains that there is some evidence in Pfizer's trial data to say it is effective for 6 weeks maximum at first dose and they have been in the press recently asking that front line HC workers receive their second dose by then.

The vaccinations slowing may be something to do with England moving vaccine to the 'slower' parts of the country. Wales just needs to get a move on.

I looked at the Cardiff and Vale data and their report on 18 January states that 24,692 have had jabs of which 2,,749 have been in non priority patients, 18,582 in Health care, social care and care home workers. When it comes to patients only 3351 over 80s have been vaccinated. Wales stats data shows 11,000 over 85 in Cardiff and Vale, plus 25,000 75-84

Vaughan Gething says he hopes that 70% of 80 + and care home residents will be vaccinated by Friday. Some hope.
