That makes 367m doses of the 3 vaccines vaccines on order. I wonder what will happen with the surplus?
The total figure quoted on BBC yesterday was 140 million, whoich is enough for everyone in the UK>
Maybe re vaccinate the initial ones?
Could be into 2022 for the whole population.
The BBC article quoted in the TOBW post and my earlier post states:
"In total, the UK has now ordered 367 million doses of vaccines to protect against Covid-19."
However the 367m I suppose might include orders for vaccines that have yet to be approved.

People like this should be charged with manslaughter. Why does this country produce some absolute scumbags?
No one is quite sure yet how often we'll need to be vaccinated, so having a potential supply in hand for maybe next year is a very prudent approach.
The shelf life of these vaccines is 6 months.
Yeah but thats the order though isnt it.?
Theyll have 6 months from production. So next year could be fine
But have they printed enough triplicate forms to fill in ?
Nothing to do with Covid, but I was reading today about Cornish fish for the EU being left to rot because of delays sorting the paperwork at the port. Apparently the documents have to be printed in every language used in the EU before the fish can be exported, and they have to be examined by a vet for disease etc. !!
And di you beleive that/? All those languages? Do you really think that every nation in the world that exports things to the EU completes forms in 27 languages?
I looked again and you are right. The documents have to prepared in the language of each EU country the exports travel through to reach their destination. So not quite as bad, but still cumbersome if going for instance to Italy or Greece
Utter cretins!!!!
Couldnt they have got a water cannon and used it on these pr!cks.

If the EU apply that standard to all imported goods no wonder they have found it difficult to reach trade agreements with other countries.
Lots of tests shown in the Wales stats, so 2,300 new cases doesn’t seem too bad. In fact, although I realise it’s wrong to base too much on one day, the figures would indicate that the lockdown is having an effect in South Wales, but there’s a problem in the north where, apparently, the new variant has arrived

I really hope the last paragraph of this article is right;-
https://www.theguardian.com/commenti...h-the-pandemic
Rate down slightly.
https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/h...=breaking-news
But it isthe weekend. we will probably see a rise tomorrow and/or tuesday, the same as for the last 9 months
There were a high number of tests done though, so I don't think the fact they are weekend figures comes into it that much as far as new cases are concerned.
Changing subject, I've heard talk about Vitamin D can play a part in lessening the effectiveness of Covid, looking at this, there may be something to it;-
https://www.theguardian.com/lifeands...d-combat-covid
The new daily figure shows that a total of 86,000 have been vaccinated in Wales now and it seems that the effects of locking down just before Christmas are now being seen because there is a definite downward trend in new cases in south Wales - the concern I'd say is that, apart from it looking likely that it's arrived in North Wales around the Wrexham area, is Wales still not seeing much of the new variant and, if not, how badly will it hit us (Liverpool's cases have quadrupled in a week apparently)?

Just 1,332 new cases in Wales today from a smaller than usual number of tests which may or may not indicate demand for them is dropping. Vaccinations are about 5,000 up on yesterday and there were sixteen deaths.

Its still very much here and hospitals are at their peak, but definitely slowing and on the decline in South Wales, a long way to go but reasons to be positive. In and around Christmas was chaos. From a personal point of view aunties, uncles, neighbours and a whole host of people close to home were getting it (All recovered thankfully) but now starting to hear less and less of people testing positive.
Hopefully at this rate the kids will be back in school after half term which has been mooted and then cautiously and slowly, all other sectors can start opening up through March leading up to Easter.
Still, as i say, long way to go but does seem moving in the right direction.
Sounds good
Covid: Large trial of new treatment begins in UK https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-55639096
I really don't get this testing stratergy.
In Wales over the last week the nuber of peole going to tst centres for tests had dropped off quite dramatically while you think that as there is so much of it about they should be packed, yet in England, there is a new centre just opened north of Bristol and there is a que out of there all the way down the road from 8 AM every day. There doesn't seem to be any reason for the dsifference.
That said, the wlk in centre staff in Merthyr, who were doing about 400 tests a bay were visited by the HSE last week and have been told that now they are only allowed to do 140 a day. It's madness.
I can't ait for when we can start closing some of these permanently.
