Few words on the longevity of antibodies; this is the study current best knowledge is based on in the UK. That those with antibodies or a previous positive PCR have much lower reinfection rate than not.

The study concludes that after 5 months of follow up on this cohort, "prior SARS-CoV-2 infection protects most individuals against reinfection for at least five months".

Further follow up will provide more data but it is extremely likely, given the prevalence of antibodies after 5 months, that they'll last longer than that. Best knowledge = min 5 months for the vast majority

Do antibody positive healthcare workers have lower SARS-CoV-2 infection rates than antibody negative healthcare workers? Large multi-centre prospective cohort study (the SIREN study), England: June to November 2020

Background There is an urgent need to better understand whether individuals who have recovered from COVID-19 are protected from future SARS-CoV-2 infection. Methods A large multi-centre prospective cohort was recruited from publicly funded hospital staff in the UK. Participants attended regular...

It’s all a bit.

A direct text from someone very much in the know on our vaccine supply vs the eu.

Just seen on Euronews...they're not happy over there.

I want it to last longer than five months , why wouldnt i ?

Preprint and not peer reviewed so care is needed

Whilst the exact length of immunity conferred by natural infection is still unknown, titres of neutralising antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 spike protein were detectable for at least five months after primary infection.30

Only pulling your leg - good quote but add at the end “and extremely likely to last longer”

about the only thing they have got right mind you

On vaccine's it's been good (so far), and they also got (and continue to get) the furlough scheme right, millions still have a job if/when normality comes back, at huge cost to the government.

They have also caused this current mess, by reacting far too late to the rapidly growing case numbers in early/mid December, the main reason that so many are currently dying.

It's very definitely at best a "mixed bag".

I’d also add according to Scottish figures so far 45% of over 80s have been done and 96% of total vaccinations so far were with the pfizer which surprised me this afternoon. Don’t know for England.
Is it possible Pfizer is being used on the older and most vulnerable first, maybe most over 70s?

I think almost the opposite - there have been stories about the AZ vaccine being rolled out to places like care homes where the logistics of the Pfizer jab make it much harder. But I've not seen any figures.

A vaccination centre opened last Monday twenty-five yards from my house. It is a seven day operation 8am-8pm. It operated last Mon, Wed and Friday and wasn't open today. I assume supply issues.
