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

Many messages from NHS 🏴 staff following @fmwales on @BBCRadio4 — “There’s no science or reason behind this. It’s a particular threat to frontline staff waiting for 2nd dose of Pfizer. We are being forced to work in an exceedingly high risk environment. I’m f***ing livid.” pic.twitter.com/I7YrHPYo3y

Wales' health minister has insisted there is an "increasing urgency and an increasing pace of delivery" of vaccinations in the country.
Drakeford's comments from yesterday have been "clarified" - still baffled as to what he meant.
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.
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.
About 14,000 cases today to be added to this story featuring yesterday's figures, so Wales has dropped further behind its target.

Vaughan Gething said in his TV update yesterday that 70% of over 80's would be vaccinated by the weekend. He better get a move on
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.
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.
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.

I had to turn the tele off, otherwise I would have kicked the F ucker in. The lying toad.
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.
Well my 88 year old mother is still waiting in Birchgrove, she can see the surgery from her flat window too.....
People re soon going to lose complete faith in anything he says if they keep lying about whose been vaccinated
Over 20,000 vaccinations in Wales again, new cases up above a thousand again though and 27 deaths;-

We had to contact the Thornhill surgery to get our 94 year old neighbour an appointment.
They were oblivious of her being a patient.
28000 vaccines yesterday, 23k day before. Certainly ramping up to meet promises, despite doubters on here.
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.
