Looks like the GP network are struggling to shift their vaccine supply, over 45s can book through them... https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/covi...showground-tickets-147085218849?aff=ebdssbeac

Eventbrite is a rather informal way to go about it... huh
A definition of “underlying health condition” would be helpful though, that’s not the same as being in Group 6

Strangely, the carer has received a text today from a company called 'Event Bright' asking him to book his covid jab at County showground, this is strange as...
1) hes only 45,
2) he has no health issues,
3) all appointments show as sold out/fully booked & the site seems run by an events management company.
It's also trying to get him to link to a thing called GP First.
Anyone know anything about this?

Ooops I should have read that first!
The only problem is, it says all appointments are sold out & it won't let him book a time slot for ANY day! Crazy.

Probably worth checking throughout the day to see if anything changes

I've noticed an increase in references to a potential third wave here in the news, these last few days. Feels like we're being prepared for it.

I've told him to, he wants it before he goes back to work, & hopefully it looks like he will get it earlier than thought now, fingers crossed.
I think it’s more likely they’re preparing everyone for an overseas travel ban. I wish they’d just get on & do it.

Playing devils advocate here but surely the best way, or at least another way to kickstart the economy is to get people back into their offices and stop working from home.
Now I can totally understand why people love working from home and I can understand it from a company perspective: saving money on office space, heating, lighting etc.
But looking at it from the point of view of “kickstarting the economy” then it makes sense.
While people are working from home they aren’t using public transport or putting petrol in the car. They aren’t buying sandwiches or coffee or nipping to the shops in their lunch hour or on their way home. It all adds up to a huge amount but I can’t imagine those who have got used to being at home having much enthusiasm for it.

To be honest I feel like I've been in a state of perpetual reflection on the past 12 months since about... well, 12 months ago. I'm reading a book called "A Nurse's Story" about the initial outbreak which is the fourth book on this/pandemics in particular I've read in that time. I think that's just how my anxiety works, I need to feed it information, hence why I was glued to news radio all day when it was first happening.
I totally get the way you feel, though. I've seen it in others plenty.

I think forcing us back into the office would be a huge backward step. Finally we can have a work life balance. Some people will want to go back in and that's fine. All I'm saving is the fuel as I always took my own food. So I'm actually saving the environment too. Oh, and my time.
