vaccines for younger people WHEN

it's crazy to see basically noone I know my age (~20) have it besides key workers here yet all my American mates have had 2. Admittedly that's cause the US hoarded a lot but still idk if I'll be safe by the end of the year.
Wanted to head to the states around this time next year too but I feel there's no chance if my mum hasn't even had her 2nd and she's nearly 60.

We've vaccinated the same percentage of people roughly, the only difference is that the US hasnt prioritised the high risk groups to the same extent. In theory our route should lead to less deaths



goddamnedtwisto posted:

No, it's because most US states basically declared a free for all once vulnerable populations were done and your mates either got lucky or spent hours hunting down available slots. We've chosen a slightly slower opening up but are still on schedule to have offered everyone in the country a first dose by July.

ah sound, definetly going faster than a lot of places but how's the 2nd doses going? I know my mum still has only had her 1st despite being a keyworker.

The US is giving out 2nd shots according to the vaccination instructions - 2-4 weeks after the first jab depending on manufacturer. The UK has decided to do 12 weeks between jabs which is why the US will have a lot more 2nd jabs done before us.

yeah that's one of the things kinda worrying me lol will that effect the effectiveness. Hopefully the first one should be sound like I think after a full year of social isolation might be starting to take a toll on my mental health lol.

I've only had my first (61, Wales) in a mass-vaccination centre. My second is due early June I think. - Astra Zeneca
My sister (<60, Wales) had her first at a GP and was given a date for her second immediately (late May I think) - she has health issues. - Astra Zeneca
My niece (29, Wales) has had two now I think (she has lots of health issues). - Pfizer I think
Mum (83, England) has now had both. Pfizer

drat hope ur 2nd one goes well. I know one or 2 ppl in their early 30s/late 20s with both but they all work for the NHS or have severe health issues. And one of my mates who works at Specsavers got hers both done privately by the company.

The idea everyone in the city is a metropolitan elite when a poo poo ton of the richest people literally live in the middle of loving nowhere is insane.
As someone who's only ever lived in an urban area of a city the countryside has always seemed like where all the rich people live whereas normal people live in the city.
Hell the most rich person in my family legit lives in a village of 500 people and has significantly more money than any of us in the city lol.

My experience of the countryside is that there's rich people and poor people living there, it just isn't a poo poo hole like cities mostly are, and if it is you just move over a bit and you're in somewhere nice whereas in a city if you move over a bit you're just still in the city.

ofc there's no homogenous class between rural and urban areas, just I've only ever really been exposed to posh ppl in rural areas. Still would deffo rather live in a shithole in the city than the nicest rural area personally considering the fact most of my social life would vanish lol.

They lost under corbyn because of a combination of sabotage by the labour right at every turn, a universally hostile press, and in 2019 especially, because it turns out "traditonal labour voters" care more about brexit than they do anything else. They are losing under keir because he's a massive loving moron who has done absolutely nothing except vote for lovely legislation, alienate labour's left destroying their funding and campaigning base, and taken lots of pictures of himself drinking with flags in the background, and it turns out that the "traditional labour voters" he so desperately wants to chase are actually entirely politically aligned with the tories.


OwlFancier posted:

There just isn't a future chasing the horrible old gits who make up the majority of voters in the horrible shithole towns up here. They're never going to vote for anything good because they don't want good things to happen, they are tories at heart and it's just taken them a while to realise.

Starmer's also a boring oval office and most of the ppl they're chasing will genuinely probably be dead within 8 years by the looks of it whereas Corbyn had the support of young voters. Genuinely trying to get young ppl engaged seems a better strategy to me but I'm also just some muppet on the internet.

yeah Steven Yip seems quite popular here, Joanne Anderson seems alright too tbf altho having almost the exact same name as Chippy Tits couldn't have helped. Liverpool is obviously pro labour but I'd say moreso to the left of Labour. Corbyn was loving huge here no ones arsed about Starmer or actively dislike him.
