Banker Posted January 30, 2021 Author Share Posted January 30, 2021 With all the buses we have lying around this would have been a good option and cheaper than the 3 hubs were building Bus converted into mobile vaccination centre A bus has been converted into a vaccination centre on wheels in a bid to help people who are struggling to travel to appointments. Launched in Crawley, West Sussex, on Thursday, the scheme is a collaboration between the NHS, Metrobus and the Alliance for Better Care (ABC), which represents GPs. It is said to be one of the first in the UK. Handrails and seats have been taken out, making more room for medical staff and equipment as they make their rounds.

What we need here is an outbreak of very contagious common sense like the above ! Mind you by the time the bedwetters had done their health and safety and Longworth had opined on the suitability of a bus being used, the virus would be history or we would all have snuffed it ! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can certainly see hijackings and terrorist targets on the horizon with all the disputes about production and delivery schedules going on.

Be some mental anti-vaxxers that one probably. Half expecting organised crime to get involved at some point, you could imagine the Italian mafia of old boosting deliveries and vaccinating whole villages themselves in Sicily. I suppose now some Albanian gang will ransom it for bitcoin or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For starters you can't get mobility scooters on them. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were slow to progress vaccine approvals based on the same data as the UK. They could have blocked exports of the vaccine to the UK, but the EU needs the Astra Zeneca vaccine being produced in the UK. What were they going to do? Send in the EU Army? Lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is good that they backed down, but it still demonstrates an alarming willingness to throw Ireland under the bus when their interests don't align with those of Germany and France.
