Mrs Moon is part of the trial for the new vaccine, hopefully she's had it rather than the plasebo.... zero side effects to the injection although obviously she had an events chance of having salt & water.

I was listening to the Novavax CEO on the radio last night and he gave the improession that participants would be notified if they got the vaccine or the placebo when the trails are unblinded

The trial wasn't due to finish yet...at least not on her plan, they were going to Q2/Q3.

She was told at the start if offered another vaccine they'd tell her if she'd had the vaccine or not and would advise at that stage about the other vaccines and if both were feasible/would not be compatible.

One thing I’ve definitely noticed is a reduced number of ambulances whizzing past my house over the last week. Was usually maybe 3/4 per day whereas now it’s probably 1.

Me too and I’m close to NMGH... however I’m also close to Blackley cemetery and I’m seeing a couple of Hearst’s a day going in there.

well, she didn't say fuck all did she? she said the UK vaccine programme should be accelerated but that no-one is safe until all are vaccinated, due to possible mutations etc. That was agreed by some others present.

you're claiming that she's scared of cancel culture (and you're ironically shouting her down even though she did give an asnwer), she didnt say fuck all did she?

All right calm down

Thats what I was told. IF Im offered a vaccine Im to ring and ask to be unblinded. Otherwise it was around September time the mass unblinding was due to take place. But maybe things have moved on.

EMA issued a press release this morning about the Pfizer vaccine’s continued efficacy. Its effects continue to be monitored and reported in all targeted age groups. Pure coincidence ahead of the anticipated AZ announcement...

The government could easily stop this by stating a maximum number of people that can go into offices that are deemed non essential. On our business park, some of the offices are full with the car parks overflowing. I’m not sure why some of those can’t work from home but it seems some employers are completely bending the wishy washy rules.

HSE Didnt make it past the front desk at our place. No wonder businesses are doing what they want not whats right.

I'm a bit pissed off as I saw the advert and booked myself in first then as my wife is in the risk group she went for it too.

My initial visit was arranged for first thing but the instructions they gave me were shit, after a 2 hour round trip drive in the dark, heavy traffic and pouring rain I couldn't gain entry and all the phones were just ringing when I was trying to figure out where to park so I oborted, left a message and set off home, 5 mins before I got back they rang, we had words but they did invite me back if I turned round there and then but I declined. If I'd have thought on I'd have rebooked myself for the following week to go with my wife however, I threw my toys out of my pram.

I've just been on Google maps to check if that's real or not (it is). I don't know if I should laugh or not.

I was at Altrincham crematorium on Wednesday for the funeral of a neighbour and it was like a conveyor belt. I was there about an hour, maybe slightly longer and there was three at least in that time. As one lot of mourners was leaving the exit the next hearse was coming around the corner to the entrance.

they certainly were at the begining and i would assume they are to date although covid may be exempt from new policy's and holday insurance

Thanks for the reply

The wife and I had the AZ vaccine yesterday afternoon at the Etihad. Both feel awful today, woke up with aching bones and zero energy. My parents also had the jab yesterday and are totally fine today!

The set up at the tennis centre is fantastic!

I’m going today with the wife. Do you park up and go in or is it drive through like the Hyde Leisure Centre one?

Park up next to the testing centre, main car park. We were told to stay in our car until ten minutes before our appointment. So just walk over, as I said it’s a great set-up.

Lancashire as a whole seems to be flying along, with a suggestion that all 50+ would be done by early March; obviously that may change.
I've finally heard that my parents (80 and 76) have both been done on 8/1 and 21/1 - they just didn't tell me!

 

[gazinho]

Possibly off topic this but Mrs Gaz has had to self isolate for 10 days (ending tonight) due to her phone being within 2 metres of our covid positive next door neighbours overnight (through the wall were not that close to them) anyway I digress, her work have said she needs to return a negative test result in order to go back in on Monday

1) can they do this?
2) can I take her in the car to a drive in test centre?

It’s not all been plain sailing. My daughter, 18, signed up but explained she had no car. They said no probs, we are desperate for young people, get a cab there and back. I was there the week before for my appointment and double checked this information. So she has now done 3 visits via taxi, £90 out of pocket and hasn’t been paid. They keep asking her to send more information. She lives at home, so she’s not going to starve, but £90 for some people is a lot of money to stand. I’m there next week and will be having strong words!!

It does seem that the oldies are brushing it off. My parents in their 80s were fine. NHS family members who’ve had it, in their 50s, are rough.

Yep - heard a few of these reports & maybe ties in with my doc mentioning why it covid hit me hard even though I’m a pretty fit guy.
Not read anything detailed abut it however so could be purely anecdotal, case by case/other variables.
