Too Much Water Jan 2021 3:21pm, 21 Jan 2021 7,977 posts	Quote Pin Too Much Water If deploying the vaccinein this way reduces throughflow into hospitals, there are a) fewer people who need ventilators / ICU beds and b) fewer decisions as to which people get the ventilators and which people just die.

larkim Jan 2021 3:57pm, 21 Jan 2021 13,304 posts	Quote Pin larkim I wonder if they've been hesitant about popularising the "vaccinate - isolate" message for fear that people wouldn't come forward as willingly if they thought their daily lives wouldn't be changing post-vaccination. I saw one bloke in a vaccine centre on TV last night exemplifying that - something along the lines of "I've hardly left the house since March last year, but I've come out for this because it means I'll be able to get out to the shops more".

Heard last night my cousin in law’s sister died from it she can only be early-mid 60’s So that is 2 people I know of who’ve died this time as well as 2 others from the disaster that was wave 1 where they sent covid+ patients to care homes
