Looks like the EU is set to “bury” it’s incompetence over disribution of the vaccines.(no pun intended).
The big story, over the next week or two, is whether the vaccines will go to those who place a timely order, or should they go to the Country of the developer.
Good or bad position for the developers to be in?
Will our timely orders be put in jeapordy?
Hopefully the EU Countries might now realise that they could have placed the orders, in good time, had they got an efficient system in place to so do.
It bodes not so well for all the rest of the world!
“Me First” will come home to bite us all?
:shock:
Australia has a contract with Pfizer for 10 million doses, The vaccine was approved by the TGA a few days ago. It will be interesting to see what we get.
Our PM, Scotty from Marketing, originally said the roll out would occur in mid March, then for some reason, about Christmas time, he brought that forward to mid February. Now the government has said that due to production delays it might be delayed to late February.
The original a TGA approval was for people over 16 but there are queries whether this vaccine is suitable for pregnant women and/or nursing mothers.
The government also has a contract for the AstraZenica vaccine but that has yet to be approved by the TGA. Supply of that will not be a problem because it will be made in Australia at the Commonwealth Serum Laboratories.
As of today there are no active community cases in Australia but that can change in an instant. NSW has had no new cases for 5 days.
As a side note:
The NZ PM, the lovely Jacinda Ardern, is a bit cross with Australia because it suspended the NZ quarantine free flights to Australia for 72 hours after they had a case of the South African Strain in their community.
Covid is an ongoing saga that keeps on giving.
So tragic.
BTW I was wrong in my last post NSW has not had a case of Covid for 9 days not 5 as I stated but, as I said, that can change in an instant. Testing rates are right down and Covid fragments are still being detected in sewage in the Liverpool area.

I know the deaths do sound a lot, and the families have my greatest sympathy, but let’s not forget that these figures quoted cover almost two winters now…Just saying.
You may have two winters a year in the UK but for most of the rest of the world Covid has been around for 12 months almost exactly… Just saying
WHO declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern on 30 January 2020, and a pandemic on 11 March 2020
Here’s a news report 31 January 2020 reporting two cases in the UK
Does that ring a bell?
The UK is my major concern Bruce, the reasons why other countries have had more or less deaths and/or infections that the UK could be due to a completely different set of circumstances.
I agree Foxy and there is a chance that 25% of them would have died with flu over that time.
It is sad that so many lives have been lost, but the UK is a
relatively small country and probably over populated in some areas.
I would also say that too many people think “I won’t catch it” so don’t stick to the safety rules. Nothing makes me more cross than the idiots who decide to go out partying the day before lock down restrictions! Why don’t they understand that all getting together probably means that more will catch it?
You’re right there Twink, every winter, unfortunately, our local hospital is packed to the rafters with elderly people suffering from the effects of flu, and most of them don’t make it. I don’t suppose it matters to them what the official cause of death is, the end result is the same.
And packing 68 million people into the UK is not helping matters either, and as the population continues to expand, viruses and human to human contact diseases are only going to get worse. Weekly Vaccinations are going to be a way of life to stay alive. If they aren’t already according to some people.
After 10 days of no cases the NSW Premier has eased Covid restrictions for the greater Sydney region, from 12.01am on January 29 it will be possible to:
Have up to 30 people, including children, gather in a household
Have up to 50 people gather outdoors together
Have up to 300 people attend weddings and funerals as long as they comply with the four-square-metre rule
There will be no caps on the number of people allowed in hospitality venues and places of worship, as long as people abide by the four-square-metre rule.
Masks will also become “recommended” in retail businesses like supermarkets and shopping centres, but will remain mandatory for:
People on public transport
Hospitality workers
People in places of worship
People in gaming rooms
People in beauty salonsSo? That doesn’t change the fact that Covid has not yet been present in the UK for 12 months nor does the UK have two winters a year.
You get the drift Bruce…
No I don’t. You just make these “facts” up.
