Still absolutely pitiful that only 68% of PL players are double jabbed.

I think definitely from a commercial point of view it is as they are affecting a business from operating.

I can see the thinking why some may think they don’t need it as they are some of the fittest and healthiest people in the country and work in buildings that are probably the most covid secure as it can be (daily cleaning, protocols, testing etc) but hopefully this weekend will give them the kick up the arse to get it done.

I wonder what counts as a premier league player, is it the 25 man squad or is youth players included in that as well and is that the same criteria for the other leagues.

Im a numbers/stat man but I always want to know the context behind them.

That and stories like this:

Troy Deeney reveals he was on a ventilator with Covid-19

Following Project Restart last year, Deeney, 33, did not report to training with Watford for two weeks and he has now admitted it was over concerns for his safety.

No, the conundrum presented is if you want to keep old people and vulnerable people alive at all costs to everyone else, then you have to put in policies that are against people's basic human rights, and ruin the majority of people's lives to desperately keep your priority alive.

As a result, you knock a huge swathe of the population out of circulation with isolation for something the vast, vast majority sit at home maybe feeling a bit ropey but nothing more. So they're not in work in hospital treating people and thus our services are under even more pressure.

We're supposed to be learning to live with it. That unfortunately means an unpalatable truth, but it seems younger generations are to foot the bill as they're for some reason less valuable, less worthy of their freedoms and it doesn't matter if they lose jobs, commit suicide or die of other conditions, as long as certain demographics are "Protected" by hook or by crook.

One day you will be older/old. You may have developed a more mature outlook then.

could, again. Could.

Lockdown in London, because you might get stabbed.

Ban on buying bread, because you might feed the pigeons.

Bring back shielding and everyone who wouldn't need hospitalisation get on with keeping the country afloat so the vulnerable and old still have some semblance of a health service funded, or in 2 years if we're on the Pomegranate variant it'll be privatised and they'll die anyway.

Brilliant. If those are the best analogies that you can come up with then it's no wonder all the conspiracy theorists' imaginations are running riot.

A bit of common sense for 2 or 3 weeks, a month at most and we're through the worst of it.
But people can't be bothered so the government is forced to act and the whole circus rolls on again.

So I ask again - Why are the government/SAGE considering/suggesting actions that will cost them popularity and money?
 
My booster has hit me like a truck.

Started feeling a bit iffy at around 8 last night and though the night got worse.

Banging headache and chills and feeling really achy and also really dehydrated. But the worse thing is the tiredness. It's an absolute chore to to do anything, even walking to the bathroom or typing this.

Anyone had these symptoms? Going back to bed soon to see if I can get some sleep and try and get up for the match

I was a lot more fortunate. A really sore arm for 48hrs were my only symptoms. Hope you're feeling better soon

Drink loads of water. I didn’t get your symptoms but my missus did.
The only symptoms I had was an arm that felt like it had took a hiding off Mike Tyson.
 
Morning all. Quick catch up on the thread last night and I’m glad I went to bed.

Wife has her booster this afternoon thankfully, meaning we are both fully vaccinated to date and left feeling very confident that if we do catch covid, we shouldn’t get seriously Ill or be hospitalised and for that we are both thankful, even if we know there are no guarantees.

Get your vaccines, get your booster, continue to do so as there will be more to come and let’s all get on with living and our lives.

Strangely, you've pretty much described the exact symptoms I got but after the very first jab. Nothing at all for my second or booster.
Now I was quite lucky really as I had my first one done on a Friday so felt like that on the Saturday. I just had a couple of paracetamol and was able to take myself off to bed for a couple of hours in the afternoon. I actually felt much better then when I woke up.

Had mine on Wednesday and was the same.

Feel right as rain now though. It’ll pass in a day or two max.
