Guest makapaka Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Usual rubbish in the papers The government's website was telling people to "come back tomorrow" when they tried to order kits. But the Department of Health and Social Care has now confirmed there was a temporary blip on the website and everything should be back to normal now.

Now I don't know if it's lack of vaccines, lack of the right type of vaccines or lack of uptake from young people but this might help focus a few minds.

In other news, the percentage of people going into hospital with covid who have both jabs is 60%. That question was asked by David from Wiltshire rather than the press corps.

Got a sensible answer too. The % would be 100 if everybody had both jabs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best thing to do is just stop asking questions. there are no answers it’s just made up on the spot. “We’re going to re-open nightclubs!” “really will people need a pass or a jab what with all the rising cases and that?” “No!” “Ok…..” ”actually you need 2 jabs” ”but you just said we didn’t?” ”not now - whilst there’s rising cases - you’ll need them in September” ”why September” “Hands face space” ”what?” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thirsty Relic Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 From late September proof of 2 jabs needed to get into nightclubs. That's the date where all over 18's would have had the opportunity to have both jabs. So, its mandatory for youths to have both jabs - initially for access to nightclubs, then.....
