These people aren't due a Covid Booster, the trust won't give them their flu jabs until they are due their covid booster. They have obviously made other arrangements with chemists and stuff and stuck two fingers up at the trust and gone in work time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Last time I was on Asda they were doing Flu jabs for £8. If I wanted one i’d just pay it and get it done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheAuthority Posted October 19, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted October 19, 2021 Basically back to normal for the majority (or so it seems) over here in Denver. I wear my mask everywhere in public though in spite of the fact that you don't have to if you're double vaxxed (honor system.) 9,300 tests done on campus at the Uni in the last 7 days and 14 positive tests which is pretty good. https://www.du.edu/coronavirus/dashboard Although Denver in general is rising which is worrying.

Still ~1500/day. Same here in Michigan, mandatory masking indoors on campus' though and this is pretty universal, at least down south. Masking is in general of the recommended variety in most places though. The high school etc. system is a mess, with various schools here and there going their own way and thumbing their nose at masking etc. Our daycare is currently closed for week #2, as many of the vacc'd staff have come down with it, sigh! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on who's being tested and is the testing method consistent overtime. Where I live, I suspect if someone has a cold and it is serious enough to be tested then that is not a bad metric. In my rural landscape we were low whilst the large cities were not faring well. Now we are high and it is showing up in our ICUs being full. Ultimately, it boils down to: are unvaccinated people displacing vaccinated people in our hospitals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it the testing of children? I know at lot have been missing from school and my lads 2 football teams after testing positive for covid. Are other countries picking these up like we are? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
