Coronavirus Discussion So.... The Coronavirus / COVID-19

basically, everything has been shoved back a bit by 4 weeks so they can concentrate on the 2nd dose but then (effectively) in May we will get the 5m we were due from India in April
Moderna to deliver first UK COVID-19 vaccines in April, schedules on track
Moderna to deliver first UK COVID-19 vaccines in April, schedules on track
Moderna expects to deliver its first COVID-19 vaccines to Britain in April and is on track to meet its supply obligations, a spokesman for the company said after ministers warned the vaccine rollout would be slower than hoped.

if these are coming in April they are going to HAVE to go into new arms for the under 50s as you can't mix and match vaccines
Health Secretary Matt Hancock has announced there are two reasons for the delays to the UK's vaccine supply.
Some 1.7 million doses have been delayed because the batch needs to be retested to ensure its stability.
And, as we alluded to earlier, there is also a delay in the supply of doses from the Serum Institute of India - the world's largest vaccine manufacturer.
He told the Commons: "In April, supply is tighter than this month and we have a huge number of second doses to deliver. During April, around 12 million people, including many colleagues in this House, will receive their second dose.
"These second doses cannot be delayed as they have to be delivered within 12 weeks of the first dose.
"In the last week, we've had a batch of 1.7 million doses delayed because of the need to retest its stability.
"Events like this are to be expected in a manufacturing endeavour of this complexity and this shows the rigour of our safety checks."

The move to hybrid working after the pandemic is growing.
The Nationwide building society has indicated that it does not intend to force people to return to the office if they have been successfully able to work from home during the pandemic.
Oil giant BP has told office-based staff they can spend two days a week working from home after lockdown restrictions ease.
And banks HSBC and Lloyds are among many other companies looking into split working arrangements.
Earlier this month the boss of IWG, which provides office space across the world, told the BBC he expected hybrid working "to become the norm" for many companies.
Mark Dixon said: "It works for companies, because it's a lot cheaper. It's also much, much better for the environment."
I honestly think the city Center is just going to look so different post pandemic!
City centres continually evolve though. As a child I remember Liverpool City centre being mainly large department stores - M and S, Lewis's, Debenhams, Woolworths, George Henry Lees, T J Hughes, Blacklers and their amazing Christmas grotto, Owen Owen, Hendersons, C and A, Littlewoods, and I am sure there were more.
Now we still have M and S and T J Hughes open , and Debenhams and John Lewis opened in Liverpool 1. There are a lot of smaller shops and it is possible that will change again over the next few years.
Local shopping areas are the same. Our main road used to have a butcher, fish monger, bakers, small general store, chemist, chandlers, 2 fruit and veg places, wallpaper shop, small clothes shop and others I have forgotten. Most went when Sainsburys opened.

People want different things. I loved some of the department stores but younger ones don't want to walk through about 6 departments to get what they want. Individual shoe shops or casual wear shops are preferred. Young Mr Grace may not like it - not referring to you Homie
- but a lot of them have had their day.actually i agree, at least a number of their physical stores
Retailers like John Lewis who go for 'no expense spared' type outlets building these amazing shops that are now empty as sin are going to be the ones who struggle as their rents must be HUGE
