The Covid thread

[BBROWN1664]

Went for the jab this morning (astrazenica) and while checking in they made my 2nd appointment for 11 weeks time.

[darrsi]

Had my Pfizer jab on 11th Feb by text from the docs, but no hint of the next one yet.
I'm quite happy to have the first one to be fair. I never liked people getting close to me anyway so it's all worked out rather well.  :lol

A fantastic achievement isn't it .

Yep a fantastic achievement. Thanks to:
The scientists
AstraZeneca for producing it at an affordable cost
The NHS
The thousands of unpaid volunteers

Indeed. And our former partners, who have spent some time convincing their citizens that the AZ vaccine was unsafe, now appear to want to stop exporting it to anyone else. Queen Ursula is not shaping up as a Leader of Nations particularly well

Both Merkin and Macaroon seem to of have been doing all they can to discredit the Ox Az. First Merkin said she wouldn't even have it, but just announced that she would. Macaroon said it didn't work for over 65s but now are saying to ONLY give it to over 55s. The EU were moaning that we were not exporting any of the vaccine -- THAT THEY DIDN'T WANT  :rolleyes .  Hungary have said they are frustrated with the slow roll out and have brought into Russian Spudnik and the China  Sinopharm vax.
I heard one EU commentator partly blaming eastern EU countries for the slow procurement because the did not want to buy so much of the more expensive vaccines.
Its like a covid hokey cokey. So glad we are out of all of that crap now. Where have all the Germany finger pointers gone who were spouting "look how good they are handling covid"

I see our Covid Deaths were around 17 today... Good job we are all still in hiding then ? I know this lockdown was done for the right reasons and we have to maintain course blah blah blah blah
But seriously how much longer are they going to kid themselves that we are in an actual lockdown ?
I think we are very much at the point where we are ready to just get on with it and see what happens. As a nation we are fed up ?

Yep, about the same amount of effort as wasting £37 billion on Test and Trace.....

Here we are  Germany still has a far lower death rate than UK. Johnson is now predicting a third wave will arrive here. It ain't over yet. We've got nothing to boast about.

You mean this --Prime Minister Boris Johnson has warned that the third wave of Covid from European countries will “wash up on our shores”.
So our 3rd wave is going to come from Germany.
How could we have a 3rd wave when everyone / most adults have been vaccinated. Could we of been mislead about the vax all along. We keep being told - the quicker we all get the vax the quicker we can return to normal.  We need to keep a tight lid on incoming and outgoing flights and ports. Trump was 100% right when he banned flights.

Let us know how you get on with side effects.
Have we seen Borris since Friday when he had his Jab

Only fair, we gave them the second 'Kent' wave


It seems that the virus naturally mutates, wherever it is. The vaccine(s) will be playing catchup for some time.

Yes, he's just been on the BBC News.

Sounds like he got away without any symptoms.

Apart from the bruise on the arm where the needle went in, I am currently symptom free still since the jab on Saturday morning. A friend who got theirs Saturday afternoon was suffering yesterday afternoon.
Based on the people I know who have had the vaccine (mostly the AZ one) Seems to be 50/50 if you have any symptoms and then 25% of those that do get symptoms get the "feeling really crap" ones.

Yes, from people I know it's about 50/50, and any symptoms turn up within 24-48 hours.
One friend of mine had a severe allergic reaction and had to be pumped full of antihistamine for 24 hours. He's fully recovered now though.
