Covid - news and views

Adding another four weeks will not affect me in any way, but I do realise that it was necessary and prudent and good for people who have not been vaccination yet and of course those coming up to their second dose. 

They had enough notice of the G7.,it did not just happen overnight

Actually, they were given no notice of arrangements, naturally.

However, that is OT.

JV, do you have any concept of how on a knife edge the Cornish economy is in a normal year, let alone during a pandemic, with service and hospitality provision way down? A huge percentage of the working population down there exist on either a six month year, or have at least two, sometimes three or four different jobs they juggle merely to exist? 

I am still at a loss as to what the whole G7 circus achieved to be honest, beyond a huge income boost to a tiny select number, and a vast amount of inconvenience to many more.🤷‍♀️ PM had a nice swim, Americans might just be a bit more aware of that strange boot shaped bit of land on toe end of England, but to be honest Aidan Turner and Eleanor Tomlinson probably achieved more in way of publicity. I would hazard a guess St Ives was chosen because it’s relatively easy to stick behind a huge fence, and Boris didn’t dare tackle Sturgeon about using anywhere they usually go in Scotland, like Gleneagles.🤷‍♀️

The vaccine roll out over the extended 4 weeks will I am sure be mainly dictated by supplies.

More resources could be thrown at it if there were the people to around to staff it.  From those that manage the car parking and queues to the clinicians supervising the vaccinations there just are not enough.     

Supplies are fine, it's the lack of staffing at every level that is the problem.
