Speeding up the vaccine distribution is now crucial

All the warning sgns are looking very bad. Even as the coronavirus vaccine injections are being carried out, the pandemic is getting worse by the way. In the UK more than 130,000 injections were done in the first week which sounds excellent. But it has created an incredible sense of complacency. All the golden rules about keeping safe with social distancing and masks have been cast aside. The virus cases are rising, hospital Covid patient numbers are shooting up, deaths are increasing. And it's going to get even worse over Christmas and through to January 1. The answer, apart from locking everyone up in their homes, is to launch the fastest vaccination programme ever. A tally of 130,000 a week is just not going to get the job done quickly enough. The longer this pandemic goes on the more frightening it's going to become, and the more rebellious the unvaccinated people - not just the younger generation - will be. If it wasn't for the wretched Brexit trade negotiations, Boris and his government could spend more time getting the policy right and saving tens of thousands of businesses from going into liquidation.
