My left arm has just started hurting again in the jab point like 10 weeks after it happened lol. I know the feeling because my arm was stinging for a good 3/4 weeks afterwards. Anyone know why this would happen? So odd. I feel fine broadly speaking though. Just a pretty sore stinging pain in one spot.

It's your spider senses tingling. Must mean Grealish has signed

I am pretty sure they can yes. I got an email from AZ about 2-3 weeks ago inviting me to go on a trial for an AZ booster but it wasn't a 3rd jab of their existing vaccine but a vaccine targeted at the Delta variant. It was ver subscribed. There's also a Covbooster trial being run by Uni of Southampton. Plus Glaxo and Valneva are in Phase 3 trials.

I wanted one of them to produce a variant vaccine because I thought that the existing vaccines would have a limited shelf-life but apparently Pfizer are claiming that a 3rd booster produces huge increases in antibodies.

Here is a pdf of their results presentations. You have to scroll through to get to the interesting bits about Covid drugs.

Pfizer Q2 earnings conference

Starts on slide 25 of 39!

Of course they would claim that the boosters work better, Pfizer are making £20 per shot from this pandemic, it's literally a license to print money potentially forever.

Let's wait for the evidence on this stuff because first and foremost we need the evidence that boosters will even be required because right now it isn't there.

I get my second jab on Sunday but the area where i got the first jab is still hot , that area always feels hotter than the rest of me eight weeks later . I guess i had a good dose of depleted uranium the first time !

I see Fabian Delph is the latest idiot to say let your body to the job instead of getting the vaccine.

Ironic considering he's probably had more modern medicine than anyone in the premier League!

Just stick to the behsics.

Mine has felt like that since by first jab in February. Randomly currently not feeling it, probably as I'm covered in super itchy insect bites.

GM Weekly Pop Data after yesterday:~

Borough / Pop Today / 7 days ago / up or down wk to wk/ Testing is % of local population who have tested positive for Covid over past year.

As ever with Pop going up is bad, going down good - the higher the number the better or worse depending on direction moving. The Pop is total cases in past week versus 100,000 POPulation to even out the comparison versus size and expected cases based on numbers living there.



Salford 448 / 725 / DOWN 277 Testing positive 12.8%

Oldham 427 / 776 / DOWN 349 Testing positive 13.4%

Rochdale 396 / 681 / DOWN 285 Testing positive 13.1 %

Tameside 386 / 697 / DOWN 309 Testing positive 11.2%

Wigan 383 / 806 / DOWN 422 Testing positive 12.6 %

Manchester 369 / 561 / DOWN 192 Testing positive 13.4%

Stockport 360 / 590 / DOWN 230 Testing positive 10.0 %

Trafford 344 / 542 / DOWN 198 Testing positive 10.1%

Bury 327 / 601 / DOWN 274 Testing positive 12.3%

Bolton 290 / 518 / DOWN 228 Testing positive 13.1%


MORE GIGANTIC FALLS IN WEEKLY POP - EVERYONE DOWN BY THREE FIGURES IN THE WEEK AND ALL BAR TWO BY OVER 200 (AND THOSE 2 IN THE 190s AND TWO IN THE 300s AND WIGAN OVER 400 POP SCORE POINTS IN A WEEK. THIS IS AMAZING AND UNPRECEDENTED DURING THE PANDEMIC.

HIGHEST FALLS EVER ACROSS THE BOARD
.
Everyone now under 500 yesterday today only two not under 400.

Bolton back under 300.



Stockport up by 37 - on 10, 080 - and Trafford up by 38 to 10, 187

So Stockport's lead up 1 to 107 over a vastly improved Trafford. As Stockport is doing far better now too as the Pop Scores show above.

Bolton again was the lowest Pop Score in GM today - just 31 - to 13, 177.

Bury up 36 to 12, 360. Same as Stockport despite Bury on just 68 cases and Stockport on 106. The Pop Score is the same as Bury because Bury is a smaller borough than Stockport so should get fewer cases as per its POPulation. Hence the name POP score


Manchester up 47 to 13, 425

Oldham up 48 to 13, 427 - and takes over as the highest Pop Score in GM today for real not fractions.

Rochdale up 42 to 13, 189.

Salford up 70 - highest today - to 12, 962 and will be the next into the 13K club tomorrow probably.


Tameside up 49 to 11, 253

And Wigan up 43 to 12, 676.

The CDC have said within the last 24hrs that data now shows a vaccinated person with 2 jabs has the same viral load as an unvaccinated person, both will spread the virus but the vaccinated will have better protection from severe symptoms. Vaccination should always be the choice of the individual never forced or coerced, but advised with the use of education and data.

The CDC from what I have read have said that if you get a rare breakthrough infection with the delta variant you are able to spread the virus , which with previous variants was unlikely.
But you are far less likely to actually get the infection if you are vaccinated.
IE The vaccinated person is far less likely to catch and spread the virus than the unvaccinated.

Rochdale up 0.7 - most today.

Wigan the least on 0.1


Numbers seem to be slowing right down



TO COMPARE WITH ALL OF UK:-


UK Vaccination numbers today

Percentage of adult UK population as eligible

88.3% have had first doses - 35, 446 given Tuesday (England 88.2%, N Ireland 82.6%, Scotland 90.2% (Wales 90.2%)

71.1% have had second doses - 151, 851 Tuesday (England 70.7%, N Ireland 70.3%, Scotland 70.4%, Wales 79.7%)

Northern Ireland is struggling with cases and hospital data and care home rises the most and as you see is under vaccinating versus the rest.

Wales is ahead of the rest on both - well ahead on both doses.

Though Scotland matched Wales on first doses today.
