They were telling me that the two year old has had no contact with men other than her dad during the pandemic (she goes to nursery, but all the staff are women). When they had a plumber round to do some work in the house she seemed really scared of him. That said, I think kids adapt to changes - even quite traumatic ones - remarkably quickly. I hadn't even thought about that but it's basically the same for our little one. He goes to nursery where all staff are women but doesn't go to any kids clubs like he used to. Apart from seeing me (a lot more than he used to which is a plus) he hasn't really seen any other men. He's seen his grandad once every few months but not properly and then the odd tradesman in our house or when he goes to the park/supermarket etc. Doesn't seem afraid of men luckily though.

Genie Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 402k “confirmed” cases in a day in India. I wonder what the real figure is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted May 1, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted May 1, 2021 Meanwhile in the UK Statistics for positive tests, deaths, people admitted to hospital, people in hospital and people on ventilators all continue to fall week on week compared to the corresponding day the week before. We're definitely in a good place right now and I see absolutely no reason why the 17th May changes shouldn't take place. The opening of shops and outdoor pubs hasn't had an adverse result yet. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great news. I've already booked in my 2nd jab on the NHS booking website (it only needs your name, date of birth and postcode). I did it when booking my first dose.

I felt a bit sleepy earlier but nothing else. I've heard that some people feel a bit tired for a few days but I don't have a headache or anything. It might be too soon to say but so far, so good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrenm Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 I had my jab Thursday night, went out for some beers on the night and didn't sleep great (I don't get on well with alcohol but still drink it like an idiot). Woke up very achy yesterday. I didn't feel great most of yesterday but probably only about the same as I would from not enough sleep with beers the night before. Got a little tickly cough too. Had a few paracetamol during the day which got rid of the achiness. Had a good sleep last night and woke up feeling fine today just a sore left shoulder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a familiar story, seems to be how it affects most people. Not pleasant but an extremely minor inconvenience compared to actually catching the beastie.

I've woken up feeling much worse plenty of times and not thought anything of it. Makes me wonder if those days when I just don't feel great is when I've picked something up that my immune system has already got a good idea about and is just getting rid in the background.

Popular Post fightoffyour Posted May 2, 2021 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted May 2, 2021 Vaccinated. Queued for an hour and a half in the cold to get a drop-in J&J. Saves me a three hour round trip next Saturday for the same jab when I’m supposed to be hungover. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got hit with the shivers on Saturday night so had an early night. Was very achey and I felt tired yesterday but I've woke up feeling fine today . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 My parents (who live in France) had theirs the other day. They had a choice of either Pfizer or AZ. First time I’ve ever heard of someone getting a choice. They went for Pfizer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
