What’s going on in France?

[Mottie]

They are going into lockdown just as we are coming out of ours? Why? Is it because they were slow on the vaccine uptake? Will the rest of Europe, including us, follow?

 

[Dangee]

They played political games over the vaccine & lost. Badly.

Apparently it’s our fault. They placed an order for a power vaccine and a less powerful variant and someone in the Amazon depot got it the wrong way around.

Do you believe that "speaking badly" of our Astra Zeneca vaccine and the threats of stopping export are political chicanery and lies in order to try look as though the slow progress is somehow due to Astra Zeneca and the UK

I get the impression that politicians are trying to "deceptively" blame us and Astra Zeneca for their slow vaccination roll out compared to ours

 

[Dangee]

Obviously.......

The AZ vaccine isn’t the only vaccine..
The issues in France have been caused by France & the EU.
We placed orders 1st, we made better contracts, we started the roll out before them, we have not spread nasty accusations.
We are not to blame for the basket case that is France.

They did a second lockdown over Christmas but let Children attend school, which meant the case numbers didn't drop. With the British variant establishing itself that isn't enough to keep things under control.

Even with around half the UK with Covid-19 antibodies we're almost flat for cases with the current controls in place.

I see Notches posts have been removed again. He seems incapable of having a normal conversation lately

As well as any vaccine issues, France did not do lockdown right. In many places.

Like the UK, you mean?

 

[Dangee]

Not looking at this John. You can see our lockdowns. France hasn’t dropped off anywhere.

 

[teaboyjim]

It shows a big difference in February and I'm wondering if it's even a bigger difference in March as the French graph doesn't show March results

 

[EFLImpudence]

It does show March - just not stated. Is that a phone graphic rather than PC?
