trekka Posted October 18, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted October 18, 2021 Hmmm, nearly 50,000 cases reported today. Not good for a Monday and I dread to think what the numbers will be like towards the end of the week . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted October 18, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted October 18, 2021 My wife's cousin has it bad. She's double jabbed and texted she's so so glad she is as she's never felt so ill in her life and just keeps thinking how bad she would have been without the jabs. Her young daughter has it too and she's been fairly ill too, but nothing like her mother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCU Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Had a little bit of blocked nose last night, nothing too concerning. Woke up feeling fine then as the morning went on my throat felt a bit sore, again nothing enough to worry me. Was due to go away for a few nights down to London from tonight (had it booked and been looking forward to it for ages) and thought I'd do a lateral just for peace of mind. Of course it's came back positive. Talk about timing. I'm **** gutted. I've literally been nowhere these past few days apart from Villa 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted October 19, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted October 19, 2021 Restrictions coming back? Surely not?! ... I mean who could have predicted with a highly contagious disease with no silver bullet vaccine and waining efficacy in the vaccinated population that we'd have to start looking at restricting things when you try to pretend everything's fine and the usual winter bugs join the party as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't Neil Ferguson the one who is always coming out with pessimistic worse case comments? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingram85 Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 I’ve been due my booster for nearly 3 weeks and a few of my colleagues at work who had the second jab a few days after me have had both the notification and the booster before me. Confused. They really aren’t rolling out the booster fast enough. A shame to see after all the effort that went into the vaccine rollout plus they aren’t doing a lot of vaccines at the moment day to day so you’d think the booster would be flat out. Worrying the closer to winter we get plus whatever the effects of the vaccine wearing off after time are as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely shocked how out of control it was. Now we record half of that despite having 1/5 of their population. I know of a lot of children who have had it over the last few weeks. Half term is coming at a good time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get this for NHS Vaccine logic. My missus is currently working with a school immunisation team. A lot of them aren't due a booster yet, which is fair enough but they can't have their flu jab until they get their Covid Booster, becaue their trust delivers them at the same time for no other reason than to boost their own imms numbers, no logic in it at all. So the people going into the schools can't have a flu jab because they'll magically avoid the flu until their booster jab is due 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
