According to the ons data cabbies have a point about being pushed up the priority list.

"Unpaid carers have been included in group 6 now. They are recommending that you make sure your doctor knows your an unpaid carer as then you will be called for your vaccine in mid feb"
Yes you have to be registered at your doctor's surgery as a home carer.

I've been doing some reading and I think it was CarerUK that are suggesting the carer gets jabbed at the same time as the person they care for. I've already taken one and I'm taking the other one late on Thursday, I'm going to see if they've got any leftovers so I can get mine, if not, it will be the third time I will have been to the medical centre x |

"Anyone who cannot work from home is an at risk group particularly if your a manual worker.

So what about ‘managers’ who work up and down the country 16 hours a day, pulling their arse out and trying their hardest in a cutthroat industry where there is zero empathy for the situation, so that they can maintain enough revenue to keep there staff employed through the entire period. ‘Managers’ who are literally on their fucking knees with stress at the end of each week because construction is considered essential, yet is not equipped or set up to deal with the crisis, contractually or physically. My husband is one, and his firm have paid all their staff 100% throughout, despite it rinsing their life savings.
God, arbitrary statements like this piss me off  |

"I was looking at graphs for teachers, TAs & special needs teachers..all above average... using Dfe data.
I thought they said today they were low risk?"
It depends above average to whom, to people working from home maybe. |

That’s why I brought it up, the stats I was looking at said very different outcomes. |

The problem is almost every person can give a reason as to why the group they are in should be a priority.
I think at the moment a priority groups are about right because even if someone that's 50 doesn't consider themselves to be more at risk than someone who's 46 but works in a supermarket, there is a reason the government has put this priority in place. |

Just looked at figures & how they were arrived at, some extrapolation & a little
Creative accounting & assumptions made to maybe inflate the rate of infection..not a statistician so no idea how it skews the data. Anecdotally I know few teachers who haven’t had Covid. |

"So when it suits your argument the ons produce accurate statistics, when it doesn’t they use creative accounting.
You’ve got to love the fab forums."
Not what I said if you took a bit of time and saw & read my posts you would see I was discussing someone posted that infection rates were similar amongst teachers, I had earlier seen something that hugely contradicted that so I researched the source material to find out how the discrepancy arose. The teachers union took Dfe figures & extrapolated them. Personally & anecdotally I believe infection rates are higher in schools, but the way the figures have been used sort of looks like creative accounting has been used which tends to undermine the findings whatever your viewpoint. That’s what I meant. |
