Did you have the chance to ask any questions ie which vaccine was it Oxford? or something else and did you get an advice leaflet.


the reason I ask is my appointment came through and I’m nervous because of allergies to the flu vaccine but I’m risking it as covid is so devastating to people over 60

You’re given a card indicating the date, which vaccine you’ve had, in my case Phizer and also the batch number. They ask all about any allergies you may suffer from.

It's time supermarkets started doing their bit aside from adverts going on about masks and only one person shopping, but then doing bugger all to enforce any of these rules.

I went to do my weekly shop at Aldi today. Although not overly busy, I'd try to time it so it wasn't, there was still couples and whole families shopping. Kids running about grabbing stuff,none in masks, sitting on the counter at the back where you pack your shopping, it winds me up.

Food shopping is the only place I mix now. I have no choice but to go there or I'll starve and deliveries are once again booked up in advance. I understand single parents may have no option but to take their kids but the majority were full families. I feel like I'm playing bloody Russian roulette once a week.

It's a fecking disgrace. The Supermarkets clearly lied through their teeth a week and a half ago.

You're kidding me.

Despite being on an island, with a highly educated and generally compliant population, being one of the richest countries in the world, having a highly advanced life science sector and a health care system at the direct disposal of the government we have the worst death toll in the entire world*

Our pandemic response has been nothing short of a national disgrace. It's absolutely indefensible, and there should be a reckoning for the guilty.

*bar Slovenija, lest anyone wish to quibble.

We are where we are! There are always going to be those who think things could be done better. The Christmas fiasco was a mistake and probably the Eat Out to Help out scheme (must admit I enjoyed it though). We were never going to be locked down like China ... wear masks outside all the time .... we are not a compliant nation. We are an overpopulated nation, end of.

Only my opinion but I can see social distancing being in place for the rest of the year but nearly everything open by summer.

Remembering July when you could meet friends in a pub but table service and screens up etc. 6 households meeting.

Shops and offices open with social distancing.

Reckon that will be in place for a long period summer onwards but think we can all live with that.

I really hope so, this lockdown while nowhere near as tight as the first one is really bothering me now.

I feel like I have missed out on a year of seeing my Grandkids, I know that many people have had it much worse though,
 
I don’t believe a word the government says to be honest, there not going to say no the vaccine won’t work against the new variant because people will say fuck it what’s the point in having it. It is what it is unfortunately think masks social distancing and sporadic lockdowns will be here for the foreseeable future
