Oldies been isolating so maybe less likely to have already had covid?

They're also more likely to have had the flu vaccine and that seems to have been 'priming' the immune system according to this ...

Flu vaccine may lower risk for severe COVID-19, study suggests - UPI.com

People who received the flu vaccine in the year before testing positive for COVID-19 are nearly 2 1/2 times less likely to be hospitalized with a severe form of the disease than unvaccinated adults.

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.

Would have thought they’d be loads after the rags result in midweek:)

That is good news. And given my post right above it means that maybe I did not forget all of the science courses I took at uni many moons ago!

Appears to depend a lot on luck and location. More than a few already have.

And if priorities change with slower delivery of vaccines as seems imminent as some are lobbying to do once they get to all those 70 and over.

As I understand it if you have underlying issues you are in the next group immediately after the 65 to 70s. If not then the one after that.

I am in 65 to 70 and not expecting a call until around mid February. But you just never know given the reports. And, of course, if in the North West that may be altered because one third of our supply is being diverted down south from Monday.
