Yes and we all know how you will "raise" your immunity, by spending between 50 to 100 on a booster jab each year, Mark my words it's coming,Then you've changed your argument. The risk is reduced now but only because of massive effort in vaccinating people and in quarantining people.
And you can't just forget about it because it keeps changing hence over time you will lose some immunity.
So please tell me this then, how long do we go on collecting data at what point do we tell the unfortunate ones who's lives have been compleatly ruined through covid, ie... Money mental health, that it's OK you can come out now and live normally again?.... 1 year more.. 5 more... 10... 15... Go on tell me
For the most part of that I do agree, but alcohol and smoking effect millions of lives across the world to. As I said for my ills I'm a smoker and a drinker, so I take my risks.When the data suggests the NHS and ICU units will not be overwhelmed- at the moment we’re on track but it’s still a waiting game.
In the meantime , we need as many people jabbed and hopefully more preventative measures against Covid and we can get back to norm fully. As long we can not overwhelm the NHS.
My guess at the moments is all restrictions lifted 19th July - but possibly a very mild lockdown later in the year. Pure guesswork.
do take note that it’s an actual Pandemic and millions have lost there lives to this virus. Of course, people’s mental health and livelihoods are equally as important- but it’s the mother of all balancing acts and there’s no easy fix.

Fully agree, I heard a scientist on Jeremy Vine's show say private companies could manufacture the Covid vaccine if they have the formula, it's not difficult at all. However they will want revenue out of it, hopefully this will happen and pharmacies can provide the service of vaccinating people on a chargeable basis. Last year the pneumonia jab (which I had for free at my docs) at Cohen's chemist was £30, the flu jab was £15.nothing was rushed tho, 40 odd vaccines were started, they went through all the same tests as any other, and is the most scrutinised set of vaccines in history in terms of results of those trials/tests and administering effects. only 5 or 6 vaccines came out the other end of those trials for one reason or another.
I doubt we'll hit 90%, we're at 81% single dose now. if we hit %90 thats good going.
as for winter, there's only been 1 person mention anything about a potential lockdown in winter so I wouldn't take any of that too seriously just yet.
they will probably blitz out as many flu jabs soon ( like they did last year ) as well to make sure the system isn't overloaded, well as much as we can.
Mate 52, double jabbed, caught it a couple of weeks ago, his 19 year old twin son (not jabbed) got it and ended up in hospital unable to breathe properly, thankfully both now ok. The other 19 year old twin and his wife from the same household were negative. A bit of encouragement for you, may mate had similar to you but the symptoms only lasted 2 days, hopefully you're the same.Had my first jab 2 months ago - I'm 47
Just been to Leeds to visit mates at the weekend and now just tested positive for covid
Feel like shit - hot and cold - headache - sore throat
No surprise. The same is happening here.Israel faces Covid surge as virus circulates even among vaccinated
Delta variant blamed after clusters identified around schools, with health ministry calling for inoculation of children as young as 12
The actual answer to that question is probably:So again I will ask the question at what point do we say, right Uve had your jabs that takes the risk down considerably, now its over to you to decide for yourselfs what risks to take?
