Afternoon LL, and a Happy New Year to you.
Well I put off watching any news until very early this morning, after an eight day break, and TBH I am staggered to hear about the vaccine shortage (no wonder Biontech fell by 25.67%, the other day). Sanity was partially restored by an interview with a lady GP and writer for the BMJ who was explaining they had a delivery of 1200 shots which because of temperature controls had to be used to treat 900 odd elderly and most vulnerable patients in one day!! After the injections each patient was given a 2nd appointment for the 2nd dose some weeks later, which now need cancelling, and we are dealing here with the over 80s who tend not to have phones to read mobile messages to cancel their appointments, so a new delivery is coming this week, new patients, and hundreds of the original patients will turn up also expecting their 2nd jabs only to be told they are cancelled etc, etc.........................Chaos!!!
In the meantime all GPs are desperate for a new vaccine which can be stored in fridges and not limited to 3 day use. I am not by any means happy with GP practices these days, but what they are asked to be doing is nigh on impossible, and dependant on supply I just cannot see who would choose to restock the Pfizer vaccine, the logistics are insane.
I received a message from my GP only yesterday to tell me I am in Group 4, they are currently doing 1 and 2.
So can anyone explain given the situation with first generation vaccines, how much they are relying on 2nd generation vaccines and the potential to cure many diseases, why we should lose 20% of our M/Cap in 3 days?? The Biontech fall I understand.
That is why as I said before I don"t believe this has anything to do with charts, the charts were the same last week when we rose 50%!!! I really do believe that on Monday we will see a big bounce here as news is digested, and the sad part to me is after watching the news what real hopes do we have of clearing this virus in 2021???
Sorry to be downbeat, but I will certaimly be giving the news (another) wide berth, for the foreseeable future, and I still fail to understand why the abuse to Boris Johnson continues at pace, has nobody told them this is a global situation!!!
