Coronavirus... thoughts ..

[George 1978]

George, have you so far CHOSEN not to have the jab or have you been low down on the priority list?

I haven't chosen not to, but I am in touch with my GP surgery to get information - I believe that there are people who are of higher priority than myself, but that doesn't mean to say that it isn't a priority. My lifestyle has changed so much in the past 18 months or so which means that I don't go out as often as I used to - travelling to a covid vaccine site wherever it is can be an experience. I hope that I can have it done at my GP surgery as if feels familiar to myself.

No, Coronaviruses have been around for a long time, Covid 19 is a particularly nasty strain of CV, uncommon until recently.

As early as 1980 it was mentioned in the Times archive.

Given up wearing outdoors, or was this when you went in to pay?

Your mask isn't intended to protect you from them, it's to protect others from you, although there's scant evidence they do especially if they're non medical masks.

Going inside to pay

The motorist is being hammered with fuel hikes government getting taxes back because of the virus.

The over 50s will be getting their 3rd vaccine in the autumn a phizer one

Had a call from my GP surgery yesterday - they supplied me with a link to a website that can help book appointments for the vaccine, so provided that I know where and when, I will try and book one.

Getting somewhere.

16-17 year olds will be able to have a vaccine soon

Nothing to do with fuel duty - that hasn't changed.
It's the 8-year high in oil price being passed onto the motorist

Since the restrictions have been eased there is a 50/50 split in shops half were masks half dont.I continue as I am wear a mask and keep my distance from people

i guess goverments have there reasons and health and scientific reasons.
Reasons perhaps wed not understand cause its so complicated.

how come when there were just a few cases of the bug they locked down a couple of cities but now thousands are dying every damn country is jetting their own contaminated citizens out of china ( or cruise ships ) and flying them back to their own country??

What happened to containment and confinement ffs !!


Apparently every plane / coach / hotel / hospital theyve been in contact with will be contaminated through their air conditioning units ..so it will spread like crazy ..

I'm not sure if we're in a fourth or fifth wave now. I have thought all along that vaccines should be mandatory like masks. I'm not going to hate people who think otherwise but the numbers say they are simply wrong. At some point they will be not a part of the solution but a part of the problem as they say.

I saw on U.S. news a story about a fully vaccinated mother and her 15 year old who wasn't (but was two days away from a first shot administered) when they both go covid... the mother was not severely impacted but the 15 year old was in a coma on a ventilator for eleven days, big difference.

I think there will be a surge in cases in the next few weeks as children return to schools,universities colleges etc.How long will the schools remain opening before it returns to home studies the seasons are against us again.

Got a testing kit a couple of weeks ago and and it came up negative on the lateral flow test - I have to say that it saved my birthday this year!

(It felt ticklish twisting the stick in my nostrils five or six times).
