You struggle all day long on a 10 hour shift trying to graft wearing a mask because the rules say you have to in a warehouse and then you sit at home watching thousands getting pissed up, dancing and hugging each other at the darts with not a mask in sight and you think what the actual fuck?

I was unaware these were happening either but there are things about it on line.

You are supposed to be eligible for a fourth after 91 days from your third and can book one online after 61.

I am 96 days on Monday and not been contacted.

I had no idea these were being done so may call my GP tomorrow.

to give some context , I got my text from Christie’s so it may be more to do with my health than generally being offered now.

in any event as I had Covid in December I think I have to wait a period (12 weeks?) before getting it.

Think it’s 4 weeks after having covid? Anyway, on your original point, I don’t think I’ll be rushing in for a 4th jab. I’ve had 3 jabs and covid twice so think I’ll hang fire for now and wait to see what changes over the next few months.

I have an appointment with the consultant in a few weeks so will discuss directly with him. I would have hoped 3 jabs and Covid December I would be full of antibodies, but will follow the advice

In New York City Sewage, a Mysterious Coronavirus Signal (Published 2022)

For the past year, scientists have been looking for the source of strange coronavirus sequences that have appeared in the city’s wastewater.

Interesting Covid variant found in New York sewer water that has never been detected in humans.

One of the Omicron origin theories is that it was Covid that jumped to mice, mutated for many months in mice then jumped back to humans. This backs that Theory up a bit in my view. Its looking like Covid in New York has jumped to an animal species ( Rat, Cat, Dog etc ) and is mutating from there and getting into the sewer water.

Authorities are trying to work out where exactly this mutation comes from.

Interesting fact, if you took away the deaths of infants, life expectancy in Victorian times was pretty much the same as it is today. All to do with eating fresh, non processed foods by all accounts.

So all of the advances in medicine over the last 200 years have been a pointless exercise and we should have just left it at eating decent food and good sanitation? Could have saved a fortune by not bothering with the NHS. Sorry, but I'm not sure I agree with that.

28 days post covid before you can get jabbed. That’s 28 days after a positive test. NB corrected thanks to @Gaylord du Bois

I didn't realise there were rules about wearing masks in warehouses? Well not currently anyhow. Unless it's a Scotland thing, or something your own employer has put in place? Nobody on our shop floor has ever been asked to wear a mask. If they want to, that's entirely their own decision but we don't have any rules at work saying it's mandatory.

Quite right. Interestingly the USA say you can have one as soon as you’re able to leave isolation, following an infection. I do think the mixed messages do hinder the vaccine programme and do give the anti-vac community plenty of ammunition.

Does the CFR coming down strengthen the anitivax argument OR prove that the vaccinations work?
Click to expand...

CFR down is consistent with vaccines working.

CFR also depends strongly on testing rates and treatments improving, and for covid in particular is so strongly agree dependent it's only really meaningful if quoted per age group, otherwise the current age profile of infections is what drives it.

If anyone is claiming that changes in CFR are showing vaccines are ineffective, they're wrong.

I didn't actually say or even imply that. I was just stating a fact that I heard in a book I recently read and thought it was quite interesting. Especially when people say that everyone died at 35 in the 19th century, as it isn't actually true.

I do think if everyone ate healthy and looked after themselves better then the NHS wouldn't be in it's current state though. If you look at things like heart disease in the early 1900's, it was incredibly low compared to now and the main changes since then were processed food and mass increase in smoking.
