Don’t think the two diseases are in any way related from what I read mate. Just similar sounding names.

 

You could be right, I was at primary school at the time so it was 30+ years ago

Is it a mess?  Is it not just slow due to a range of stuff.  Conflicting priorities in the NHS, flu jabs at same time as boosters?  Staff shortages?  People not wanting to get yet another jab? Admin overheads like I saw yesterday?  I guess a lot of factors come into play.  Maybe because some politicians tried to take the credit for the initial vaccine successes that they are in the firing line now that the booster rollout is different.  I would say any Politician should take flak when due but it is hard to stick it to them in some instances. I just think, at the moment anyway I am aware this particular NHS task is difficult.

I think there is an issue of take up of the booster . Some are now so jaded and cynical about the whole palaver they feel what’s the point about taking it ? Is us really effective ? And if so does that mean they/ we need to have boosters every 6 months ? **** that . I think some people are just going to go with the double jab and their chances . Apparently the best immunity from it is natural immunity ( her covid then recover hopefully 🙏 ) . There has definitely been a balls 🏀 up of the roll out of it too in Scotland

Someone very close to me is now refusing a booster. Still wears a mask, was keen to get both original vaccines, doesn't use social media so hasn't been 'influenced'. Just has had enough. I can see where they are coming from, TBH. Not that I'm against the booster jabs, myself.

I’ll probably be dragged kicking and screaming to get it to be honest too , just like I was with the double jabs .

Yes, completely agree James. People are fed up with it all now and, crucially, in contrast to 12 months ago, no longer frightened of Covid.

We keep hearing talk of "mandated" mask wearing, as if it makes any significant difference.  I waa in Tesco yesterday and saw about 12 - 15 people not wearing masks. Usually young couples or workies.

It's only "mandated" if people enforce it. No mask , no entry.

 

Those, like the ridiculous looking opposition benches sitting like clones, all muzzled up, are the ones who want it to be mandatory.  They are also the same people who bang on about "rights", not causing "offence" , "stigmatising", "empathising". They can't have it both ways,  it's mandatory or it's not.

Not that mask wearing makes that much difference countrywide. A proper mask will protect the wearer so, therefore, those who are best placed to judge the situation are individuals,  not behavioural "scientists" whose work is based on generalisation and overgeneralisation.

👍👍👍the virtual signalling from Labour re mask wearing has been nauseating ! Almost like they are trying to score political points ! It’s back fired . Yes I think that people are just thinking that they have all played their part , lockdowns , masks , social distancing , double jabs and Are now  actually furious that there is even discussions about restrictions agains , considering probably 100 💯 of those most vulnerable are double jabbed ! 
 

In my daily walks into town I do see less mask wearing in various places . People are making their own risk assessments and not being frightened / coerced into things which may not be of any significance  help really . 
 

Off to Tynie soon . It’s going to be interesting regarding the VP issue 🤨 come on the Hearts

Great to hear. The shrill, hysterical voices amongst the scientific community need to be resisted. When I say "scientific", I am referring to the myriad behavioural scientists who dominate the airwaves. The Stephen Reicher's and Linda Bauld's of this world, are not virologists, epidemiologists nor biologists, yet they push their own agenda, and, not Bauld tbf, advocate more restrictions.

 

We are living with this virus and, havimg been in a busy Diggers pre-match today, the busiest pub I have been in since the pandemic,  it really felt liberating. A huge step back towards normality. 

 

It's reassuring to hear Sunak's comments and hopefully nails the nonsense about more restrictions,  regardless of "case" numbers.

 

Finally, just to be clear, given that only about imo 10% of fans were wearing facemasks on the concourse today, it is not mandatory in Scotland.

No update to England vaccinations by publish date

NHS England have not published updated vaccination data today, therefore it has not been possible to update vaccination figures by publish date for England. UK totals only include updates from Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.

There was a time if I was driving down to Tesco or my local shop if I had forgotten my mask, I would turn back and go and get one.. Now....I no longer care. I have been to numerous events up and down the country, indoor and outdoor, with various amounts of people, for over a year now, and never once thought “You Know i might have caught Covid there “.. I still only know of 6 people who have had it, and all got in from “Care Homes and Hospital scenarios “

Same here regarding masks . On a related matter as I’ve  Said before I was in close contact with two different people for several days and they had covid . Zero transmission to me . All very strange really .

Only thing funnier than Desperate Devi and her facemask fetish is reading the cowardly commentors underneath bashing Britain and begging for state control of their little lives. One hopes the HGV driver situation is sorted out soon as it appears the KBB will be decimating the detergent shelves as they seek to soil their slacks on a daily basis. 

I know the comments are depressing !

Yip. There was some African- based doctor on Sky the other day and when I say "shrill and hysterical", I mean a screeching, delirious rant against the, and I quote, "wicked" West for depriving her continent of vaccines that we are , supposedly,  responsible for providing  

Less of her type, please.👍

Compassionate as always, tory boy.

Yip. She must have tolerant employers at Edin Uni, given the amount of time she spends pontificating. Can we not get her productivity measured?

I think we do "compassion", here in the UK, more than any other country in the world. What do you think, leftie boy?

I’ll probably be dragged kicking and screaming to get it to be honest too , just like I was with the double jabs . 

Regardless of folks thoughts about restrictions/case numbers etc I would really plead with people to get vaccinated and boosters where appropriate. I’m 40, I’m physically fit and no underlying health conditions. Covid has floored me and at one point it got quite scary in terms of 40°c+ fever and breathing difficulty. I genuinely believe the vaccine antibodies stopped it getting worse and me ending up in hospital. I have two young children and the vaccine may well be the reason they still have a dad for all I know.

 

I’d been super cautious about catching Covid. Always wear my mask when out and about and haven’t felt comfortable enough to return to Tynie yet even though I have a ST. Haven’t been back to a pub either. Despite all that I still managed to catch it which again just underlines the importance of getting yourself vaccinated.

I see there is no sign of the portal to book your booster yet thankfully its not an urgent thing  its not as if its a matter of life or death

“ super cautious “ sounds more like paranoid . Sorry to say . You have a season ticket to an open air venue and still haven’t been ? And not been to the pub either. ( Albeit a slightly higher risk ) .  It’s about balancing risk and living . It appears your still quite anxious and ironically caught it despite being “ over cautious “ . I’m out and about living now and enjoying life . That’s what’s it’s about . I’ll assess where I need to wear a mask. I’ve had the two jabs . I’ll consider the booster . I haven’t caught it as far as I’m aware . Also been in very close contact with two different people who had it . Still fine.
