    DOOM: ministrone was right!

    “ Thousands of hospital staff will join the drive to vaccinate all adults in England against coronavirus and will be deployed at mass vaccination centres to give the jab to up to 5,000 people a day, NHS officials involved in the plans said.

    The NHS intends to use football stadiums, town halls and conference centres in England to inoculate at least 2,000 people each day

    The new facilities will be additional to the 1,560 community-based vaccination centres run by GPs, which will dispense 200 to 500 jabs a day. All the venues will do temperature checks on people before entry allowing space for social distancing and a 15-minute recovery time.

    ...

    Although reports have said the rollout will begin on 1 December, Whitehall and NHS sources said that that was premature and it was “very unlikely” that supplies of the Pfizer vaccine, or the one being developed by Oxford University and Astra Zeneca, would be available until early 2021.“

    If ministrone was right about that, could he be right about some other stuff he said???

              The new facilities will be additional to the 1,560 community-based vaccination centres run by GPs, which will each dispense 200 to 500 jabs a day. Other forms of vaccination are also planned, including mobile vans and visits to homes and prisons. All the venues will do temperature checks on people before entry allowing space for social distancing and a 15-minute recovery time.

                So, let's do a bit of basic maths on it: 1,560 surgeries doing 200-500 per day and we have 20,000,000 to give out. That would work out at about 50 days worth.
                That's before we go to 50,000 seater stadia. If the government wants to do that, we would run out of vials in a day or two.

                  Where is it mentioned that 50,000 people per day would be inoculated per stadium?
