About standing still, one of the first rules of employment, "NEVER STAND STILL", there's always a brush to use.
PS:------ yes stand still, if you're on the pointy end of a knife throwing act :hehe:

Yeah, always "appear" to be doing something?

Wales' health minister has insisted there is an "increasing urgency and an increasing pace of delivery" of vaccinations in the country.

Not sure it's the NHS that are the source of concern about letting people down, more the politicians.

I think its something like rushing it out will lead to more of the vaccines being wasted or something
Both the UK and Welsh governments urgently need better PR people, the communication throughout has been abysmal.
Re: How Many Vaccines In Wales Today ?
There has evidently been a policy u-turn since Drakeford’s car crash interview. Welsh Ministers have been falling over themselves to try to convince the people of Wales they understand time is of the essence and that vaccines belong in the arms of high risk individuals and not left lying on a shelf so vaccinators have got something to do in a couple of weeks time.
But who was advising Drakeford when he came up with such a crackpot policy? Where were Public Health Wales, NHS Wales and the Chief Medical Officer? Baffling and deeply concerning.

A one dimension attitude to a lot of things pre or post Covid , very little challenge comes his way which is unhealthy.
Bit of a potted history

Just under a quarter of over 80s in Wales have been given their first dose of coronavirus vaccine, according to figures from Public Health Wales.
Re: How Many Vaccines In Wales Today ?
About 14,000 cases today to be added to this story featuring yesterday's figures, so Wales has dropped further behind its target.

Drakeford's idea that he didn't want vaccinators being idle coming home to roost eh! Wales will surely slip further behind the other nations and he will be found out.

For sure...and we've done hardly any 2nd jabs, much less than any of the other home nations.
Re: How Many Vaccines In Wales Today ?
Yay, my mum (85 in a few weeks time) got hers yesterday. This is West Wales. Does smack of some ad hoc planning as people were being 'phoned in the morning to come by the surgery in the afternoon.

Is that because of the adhoc delivery of the vaccines to GP practices?
Yesterday my own gp said they had received another 100 vaccines and will be contacting patients accordingly. I think now that all GPs are now vaccinating which will help speed up the process (as long as they receive the vaccines in a timely fashion)

The health minister has been accused of "misleading" people after claiming the majority of over 80s had been vaccinated against Covid-19.
Re: How Many Vaccines In Wales Today ?
I wish they'd give a daily figure for vaccinations rather than a running total, but I think it may be 22,000 today which would be a step in the right direction. Unfortunately, deaths are still high with sixty seven, but, for the first time in a while, the new cases figure is below a thousand and, the Gwent valleys apart, all of the south Wales regions are down below a hundred.

Re: How Many Vaccines In Wales Today ?
I don't think that the rate of vaccination is the same for all areas.
I'm 74 and live in the Bridgend area. I have no underlying health conditions and I'm having my jab on Wednesday of next week.
The only reason I can think that I've been contacted is that I spent a few days in Hospital early in the year for a fairly minor problem.

We had to contact the Thornhill surgery to get our 94 year old neighbour an appointment.
They were oblivious of her being a patient.

Cases up a bit on yesterday, but overall still coming down, so fingers crossed. Death rate is still too high. I speculate that much of that is due to the levels of poverty and deprivation in the valleys.
