Got minor surgery on Tuesday, for long standing re-occurring Trigger Finger problem. Monday was booked at Donington for first trackday of the year, so when the surgery letter dropped into the letter box, I thought the planets were aligning nicely. Trackday then surgery. But no. Turns out ive to have a Covid swab on Saturday, then self isolate until Tuesdau morning. Ive cancelled the trackday and will re-book later once healed. Annoying thing is, I suspect some would have just ignored the isolation period and gone ahead with the trackday, but I'm doing it by the book

And I had to shower in a special shower gel that kills MRSA also during the pre assessment I had to provide a swab of my perinanal area - I had to focing ask . All for checking for mrsa. It seems now they do not care about mrsa.

It seems now they do not care about mrsa.And so it begins. Turned up for the swab test this morning, turns out that the surgery now looks like being cancelled because the second Covid vac is due on the 1st May, so not seven days between the two, as stipulated and required by the Health Authority. So, trackday cancelled, surgery likely to be cancelled and back on the waiting list, no doubt to be re-scheduled when I'm going on holiday or to clash with the other trackdays booked this summer. Only chance to smooth this out is if I can get the 2nd Covid jab put back a couple of days on Monday morning
50 million UK Covid injections milestone due to be hit today.Amazing achievement .

We were told get the vaccine to get life back to normal, we have kept our side of the deal and don't see much change yet. Summers coming people will be outside more, by the time things get relaxed we will be in another winter lockdoown.I do think that we should keep the borders closed and seems stupid to think about allowing foreign holidays.
A contributor to one of the news programmes the other day was saying how when deciding whether to lock/unlock and the pace of doing so, the government should take into account all those who for whatever reason haven't taken up the offer of a vaccination.I've got every sympathy and understanding with those that are unable to have it for a genuine medical reason, but are they seriously suggesting that the normal majority accept locking down with all the subsequent disruption to their lives to protect a minority bunch of idiots who believe in bonkers conspiracy theorys??. Unbelievable
They won't speed up loosening restrictions ahead of the published road map because of the amount of stick they got for the timing of the last lock/unlock.
Slowly, slowly. Follow the science
On the subject of the conspiracy theorists who believe it's all a hoax and refuse the vaccine, I assume they will also reject a hospital bed if they fall seriously ill with all the symptoms?.

Germany, France and Italy for example. And look at the awful state India is in now.They must have all got something wrong as well?.

Quote Haven't loads of countries had a second wave that's been worse than the first?. Germany, France and Italy for example. And look at the awful state India is in now.They must have all got something wrong as well?.Most of Europe's second wave has been attributed to the what is being referred to as the 'Kent variant'. But yes they also opened up at the wrong time. India hardly lockdown at all. Modi encouraged crowds, and like Trump, dismissed the virus as a 'little flu'
Trump actually said. "It's a little like a regular flu that we have flu shots for. And we'll essentially have a flu shot for this in a fairly quick manner."And that was way back in March and he was proved essentially correct.
Explain how they have more cases of the Kent variant than we do.

That's why the USA has had around *ten times* as many Covid deaths as flu deaths...
