Probably nothing. It says he jabbed a dart like implement into her arm. So scary though that someone could even think of such a thing

As this thread has been my go to source for all things Covid, I thought I'd post information that has raised a question.

My niece, a teacher, was ill in March and an antibody test proved she had had it.

In December she tested positive for coronavirus. Was way less ill second time around but passed it on to her boyfriend. A friend of hers has also tested positive twice.

This suggests that immunity is time limited. Does it also mean vaccinations will need to be done yearly?

Matt Hancock was saying possibly 6 monthly.

Got tested on Wednesday morning, was told to expect result in 24-48hrs, Now gone 48hrs and no result so rang the hotline and gave details, I'm in the system but was told results are now taking up to 5 days due to high demand. My wife and eldest cant work due to self isolating until result.

Dont hold me to it, but these days, it normally means you haven't got it if you don't get a result back in 48 hrs.

Burnley's Sean Dyche says footballers' vaccinations should be 'fast-tracked'

The Burnley manager, Sean Dyche, has called for fast-tracked coronavirus vaccinations in football, arguing that the money saved on testing could be diverted to the NHS

Longer version: pro footballers are amongst the least vulnerable people in the entire country, *and* have the resources to mitigate the impact on them already. The idea that they should be prioritised is morally completely indefensible.

I have no issues with Premier League footballers being guven the vaccine.
They are being told them playing is for the benefit of the country, they are being run into the ground with ridiculous schedules and they are forced to travel round not only the country, but Europe as well.

Either close football down or give them the vaccine.

Thanks, that would be nice, just need a result tho obviously. Still feel pretty crappy as well. like most we have been sticking to the rules so wont be breaking them now.

i think teachers getting it so they feel safe and can give our kids the proper face to face education they are so badly missing out on is a bit more of a priority for me.

although to be fair I am gutted when games get canned and it is one of the good days in a sea of shit when I can watch some sport.

If that's the choice, the answer is very clear.
