Do you not think that maybe he does have mental health issues (nothing to be embarrassed about by the way), and he's being incredibly brave for putting them on here? Or, do you think he's making it all up?Quote:

No need to apologise mate, it's not the first time xsnaggle has sent a thread off tangent and it won't be the last. If you want to avoid him though (although there really is no need), just stick to the football posts. He doesn't get involved in them at all.Quote:

Thanks Mr G. Well, I reckon you should develop that immune response and turn it into a vaccine because I'd definitely buy one. You'd make a fortune! :thumbup:Quote:

At what point do we pick up on the fact that when Drakeford first announced 7th of August as potential Code Zero date he hoped for 85% of adults doubled jabbed but we look a few days off that still with progress definitely slowed?
Is this why Boris Johnson has threatened vaccine passports?
Is this why we're seeing stories such as this in the press? "Hospitalised dad who turned down vaccine urges others to get jab": https://www.thenational.wales/news/1...thers-get-jab/
One jab is good (every nation but Northern Ireland progress has slowed now) but two jabs are needed for higher chance of increased and longer lasting protection.
Appreciated. Very much. :thumbup:Quote:

There's no doubt that the uptake has slowed amongst younger people. One thing I didn't realise until last month was how difficult it can be to get a jab as a student. One of my grandchildren is in Uni at Bristol and being from Wales was told he would have to go to Cwmbran Vaccination centre for the jab.Quote:

It still makes me wonder?
Two points.Quote:

My point on travelling to Brecon for meat was related to the stupid Drakeford rules about travelling no more than 5 miles from home. Frank Atherton has since said such local restrictions were not effective.
I said that whilst travelling to Brecon from Cardiff alone in a car I would not be able to catch or pass on the virus. WAG thought the risk was from people moving from area to area and spreading it on arrival so best stay local.
However I was allowed to travel from my home in North Cardiff to Cathays to shop, when at the time, Cathays had one of the highest incidence in Wales, probably related to the student population.
Made no sense then, makes no sense now, and is another example of the dictatorial attitude of our First Minister
Everytime you defend and justify the Brecon meat issue it looks worse.
I dont get how someone residing as a student in England cant get a jab in England though.
Looking at the rules in Wales for students from outside Wales if youve registered with a GP the GP will contact you for a jab. If you havent registered if you contact the Local Authority yourself if your not Welsh then a jab will be arranged.
So dont see any issues at all with arrangements for students in Wales.
If the rules in England are different and im not convinced they are I dont see how thats the Welsh Govts fault.

You can say what you like. The fact is that he was invited by the NHS to attend at Cwmbran to get a jab. He also had to go there to get his second shot.Quote:

He has nothing to do with Cwmbran. His home address is in Chepstow.Quote:

Sounds to me as though he wasnt told he had to go to Cwmbran. He was invited to go there from his GP records.Quote:

What is clear that students can get their jabs local to their uni.
For the record the university correspondence you referenced stated that jabs were available from 23 June. Bristol Uni summer term ended 21 June. If he had stayed in Bristol after that maybe he could have got one, who knows.Quote:

However, the main thing as far as Im concerned is that they have both been vaccinated.

very interesting thread on the current situation with covid in the UK
Don't understand her comments about cases decreasing in under 20s, when her chart clearly shows cases increasing in all sub-sections of under 20s.Quote:

Charts and info about cases numbers often appear to contradict each other.

More than 80 private Covid travel test providers listed on the government's website will be issued two-strike warnings over misleading prices, (England) Health Secretary Sajid Javid has announced.
A further 57 firms will be removed from the website on Monday, because they either no longer exist or do not actually provide the relevant tests.
But consumer group Which? said that it had warned the government about the problems with private travel test providers six months ago.
"It's welcome news that the government is finally taking responsibility for its list of test providers and carrying out an audit, but it's six months late," Rory Boland, travel editor at consumer association Which?, told the BBC.
Was wondering where this thread had gone? Looks like the Ozzies are in the do do, endless lockdown…..Is NZ about to join them?Quote:

people will still point at little ( or no ) deaths from covid, but the vaccine uptake is low
do they keep the borders closed forever ? ? ? ? or live with localised / national lockdowns for the next X amount of years ( while life in other countries just continues ) ? ? ?
Same travel story with more colour: https://www.independent.co.uk/travel...-b1905904.html
While Scotland and Wales insist on a specific provider, price £68, England simply provides a list of companies. The (England) health secretary, Sajid Javid, described some of them as “cowboys”. Yet here they are, including fly-by-night firms that see travel testing as a get-rich-quick scheme with government backing.
Some destinations ask for a test before travel, usually only for unvaccinated travellers, but many do not. No airline, ferry firm or international train operator will ask you for a Covid certificate unless the destination requires one.
Yet at the government’s official website you are a click away from 01 Alpha Express Testing telling you: “Looking to travel for leisure, work, or educational purposes? You will need to present a Fit To Fly Certificate upon departure from the UK.”
I have asked the firm to remove the claim before too many people assume that an official provider linked from a government site will tell the truth, and waste £85 on an unnecessary test
Earlier in the week I did the same when the Corona Test Centre asserted: “Fit To Fly Test – Required. Mandatory for most flights leaving the UK.” Travellers were invited to spend £129 for a PCR test certificate that was likely to be completely pointless....
Amazed that no-one has commented on the Channel 4 Doc "Did Covid Leak from a Lab in China?"
Hesitated to post details on here as the resident dolts will probably (and mistakenly once again) think one is endorsing a conspiracy theory.
Seems that the virus may have been found in a bat cave in 2012; the US may be indirectly involved as part of world-wide 'gain of function’ research (chilling) and that the level of safety in the Wuhan lab was BioSafety 2 - the level at which our dental surgeries operate.
I'd post more, but could you handle it?

Not going to make a jot of difference, we had friends up from Cornwall last week, they said its rammed, our fav place to eat / drink is booked till end of Oct, not even taking walk-ups, just bookings onlyQuote:

You can still get the breakdowns on the gov website. Because we have so many people vaccinated it’s mostly old/immunocompromised people who’ve been jabbed.Quote:

Winter and autumn could be a worry but I don’t think we should be rushing to bring back lots of restrictions just yet.
I think seeing the statistics everyday makes us it look terrible but we have to remember 500 people die a day of cancer.
If I’m honest I’m at the point where I’m not sure what the best thing to do is anymore as to me it isn’t obvious besides wearing masks on public transport/in shops what else we should be doing unless we are happy to have restrictions for another few years.
I think they’re victims of their own success and delta has sort of ****ed them a bit because it’s harder to stop the spread.Quote:
