I'm curious as to how a tank would evolve. Would it climb out of the primordial ooze wiggling it's track-nubs, feeding on smaller jeeps before crawling onto the shore having evolved proper treds?

Our hospital workers are being vaccinated now (those that works with corona patients).  Next up are the healthcare workers who work with vulnerable elderly, psychiatric patients and mentally challenged, as well as their patients. The plan is to start with those in a week or two.. But.. That's not going to go as planned. While the idea of vaccinating demented, psychiatric patients and mentally disabled is a good plan, because it is impossible to make those people follow social disctancing rules, and impossible to make them wear a facemask, our government forgot one thing..  Most people in these groups are mentally incompetent, so in order to get them vaccinated, official permission is required from their legal guardians (most of the time, family members).  So instead of starting with the vaccinations in about two weeks, our already exhausted and understaffed healthcare workers are now going to hav to make a planning to first have official meetings with all the legal guardians. That could take months.

I think our government needs to re-shuffle the order in which people get vaccinated, or valuable time will be wasted.

Boris Johnson has announced Britain will reenter lockdown, as cases of the new variant of the virus rise.

My boss told me I had to go back to work because everyone was going back to work. I am at work and they are not; they used their much greater annual leave to stay at home because they said it wasn't safe to travel.

Meanwhile, prisoners from a prison in Heerhugowaard have reported their warden to the police for forbidding them to wear facemasks.
They want him to be charged with attempted murder.

According to the prison regime, prisoner's faces have to be visible at all times so the staff can assess their facial expressions.
This means the prisoners are forced to not wear facemasks, while also not being able to keep social distance.

I don't know how much epidemiological work has been put into establishing an optimal proportion of vaccine not to be reserved for the vulnerable (the oldest and otherwise illest, who would have greater risk if they contract it) nor the support workers (those who would probably not be as ill if they got it, but it would take them out of vital Key Worker status at a time of increased demand) but the kind of person who is neither but is likely to be a super-catcher/spreader.

It's an amorphously described group, I know, and probably dominated by the intrinsically irresponsible, but at some level 'wasting' vaccinations on this group buys time for the others.

(Not that I'm in any of the aforementioned groups. Still not expecting being offered the jag in the immediate future.)
