Coronavirus (Non-Politics)

[Special Blue]

Glad to hear! As soon as I have my first, I will cancel the one on the 23rd of Aug and see If I can find one closer to where I live and sooner.

That's exactly what I did! My 2nd was a different venue originally and was worried as you have to cancel before getting a new date!
I didn't need to worry as there were lots of times for whatever day and nearer to me!(same as before runnymede).

That is great, how long was the gap between your first and second? I'm 31, hoping it will be a quick 4-8 week gap!

 

[Special Blue]

My first was 7th of april so about 8 weeks!
9 tommorow.

 

[Southminster Shrimper]

Great news for you, I will of course look for earlier bookings and when Wickford have some left over at the end of the day. Not sure if anywhere else local does it.

 

[Special Blue]

I don't know how the timings in between work exactly so would check it out!
The reason I say this is because my golfing buddy who I mentioned earlier in the thread only had 4/5 weeks inbetween.
Yet I know when the vaccine first come out they were stating 20/21 days.
Someone on here will know!

Looks like vaccine passports are already starting.

BBC

Like I said, so long as they don't impact people that are exempt...

So the 2 tier system begins. Interesting.

The comments on the BBC site had me in stitches. Tis what it is, vaccs or negative test. No amount of moaning will change that.

 

[dcblue]

It doesn't surprise me about the passports but people going along with it does.

Unsurprisingly I haven't this news anywhere in the UK today. I wonder why.

Gov. Greg Abbott signs bill to punish businesses that require proof of COVID-19 vaccination

Abbott's signature means that businesses that require so-called vaccine passports can't get state contracts and could lose state licenses or operating permits.

Texas have also scrapped all restrictions and their hospitalisations and deaths have all dropped. Funny how our media never mention it isn't it.

Hopefully a vaccine won't leave you needing stitches.

Why is that? If that is what Wembley have decided, it's their shout and the majority will have no problem with it.

Why would our media need to report on Texas?

Why would our media need to report on Texas?

I more mean places that have lifted restrictions which has no effect on their data at all.

All our media have done for the past year is scaremonger and frighten people and now many, including people I know, are petrified of going back to some sort of normal.

Places like Texas have been back to Normal for months with no sign in uptick of hospitalisations or deaths. Yet there’s still the possibility we maybe delayed.

And to be honest I don’t really understand what delaying does. If the current restrictions are leading to an increase, then surely we have to go back a stage rather than delaying where we are by 2 weeks?

They will. ..

2nd vaccine done yesterday. Even less side effects than the 1st i.e. nothing other than a little tenderness round the vaccine site.

If it's the anti-vaxxers keep us from opening up on 21st June then I won't be happy.

Why do you insist on calling people who don’t wish to take this medicine ‘anti vaxxers’ They May well believe the vaccine is an excellent solution for those at risk, but feel they do not either need or want it.. be nice…..

Wonder why they needed to report on India. Probably because they could make that fit the narrative.

Can't answer that on a non politics thread.

 

[Holy Joe]

US and France also have different restrictions for people who have had vaccines versus those who haven't.

Possibly or maybe they think giving themselves another 2 weeks of data will enable them to make a better informed decision? And it should allow the over 50's to get their second jab.
