More normal life in the UK, or being able to go on holiday?
Discussion
Firstly, apologies for starting a new thread that is CV focused. Please close or merge with another if this topic is covered elsewhere.
Just to point out, I am English, so this post has a focus on England because that's where I live.
Regarding vaccines & sharing with other countries, it seems to me that we've got two options:
1. Focus on vaccinating the target population (i.e. all adults) in England. Lock the borders down even tighter than they are and return to normal living in England ASAP.
2. Get the over 60s done (or wherever the vulnerable cut-off is) and then switch to magnanimous mode and help out the rest of the world (starting with Scotland, Wales and NI) to get their vulnerable populations vaccinated.
Looking at the age demographics of Covid deaths, logic would dictate that option 2 is the best.
Instinctively I want option 1. However, I think that option 2, whilst having a slower start on the return to normality, will be better in both the medium and long term.

king Christ - this was an attempt to start a discussion on the approach to vaccination and all it takes is 2 replies before some fkwit starts banging on about either scotland or wales and how important they are.It's not really relevant to this thread - include them if you like, ignore them if it's easier.

kwit who posted about vaccinating england before the rest of the uk, i think the scots might have a word or two about sending vaccines produced in scotland to accomplish that.citizensm1th said:

But it's not just about having the vaccines is it?kwit who posted about vaccinating england before the rest of the uk, i think the scots might have a word or two about sending vaccines produced in scotland to accomplish that.England is already ahead of the game - are you suggesting that the Scots are going to restrict supplies until they've caught up?
