Most of the.staff were wearing masks. I’m sure half term has a lot to do with why it was so full, but it wasn’t packed with kids.

I’m all for people wearing masks if it reassures them , but why do people continue to wear the leopard print ones , they are absolutely useless 😂

I've booked a Booster Shot (Pfizer) for Tomorrow.
Anyone had their third shot and how were the side effects?
My first one was fine, the second though knocked me for 6 for 24hrs.

Had my 3rd jab last Thursday. No side effects other than my arm was more sore than after the previous 2 AZ jabs. Its worn off now.

Nothing more than a bit of arm ache.

Johnson copping a fair bit of flak about him being pictured at the COP 26 summit sat maskless next to ninety five year old Sir David Attenborough
https://news.sky.com/story/cop26-bor...rough-12458494
What struck me though was the line, which I’ve heard from Tory MPs as well about them not wearing a mask when they’re with someone they know. Unless the general public are being kept in the dark for some reason about official figures which back up what they say, I would have thought that it’s likely that a majority of those who have had Covid caught it from someone they knew.

Poor old Boris always in the firing line. The Sky news item has three photos...One with Boris without whilst Sir David has one on, second both without, and then one with Boris wearing one and Sir David not. He can't win!!
Another thread on CCMB warns us not to be complacent, and whilst I see a lot of people without masks, too many for comfort, I see others pull a well worn disposable mask out of pocket or bag to put on before entering a shop. Such masks are intended for single use and certainly should be safely disposed of at the end of each day. They are unlikely to offer any benefit if used repeatedly.

My message was about the claims that you’re somehow less likely to catch Covid from someone you know and was not meant to be party political except that it does seem to be a more prevalent view on one side of the political divide than the other.

He’s the Prime Minister and as such should always be in the firing line. It goes with the territory, if he doesn’t like the heat he should get out of the kitchen.

The science indicates that if you are within a metre of someone with covid for more than 10 minutes then the risk of catching increases significantly. The chances are that such close and prolonged contact will be with someone you know.
Re: Coronavirus update - ALERT LEVEL ZERO
What’s the main age range of people dying at the moment? Is it France where they are telling the old and vulnerable/retired etc to self isolate? Maybe we should do that here until they all get a booster?

This shows the latest figures for infection, hospitalisation and death - up to about 10 days ago - and includes a detailed age profile.
About 50 UK deaths in a week in the 25-55 age groups. Over 900 UK deaths in a week in the age groups from 55 and up.

Does it say if they’ve had a vaccine or not? A few weeks ago it was 75% who hadn’t ending up in hospital or dying, I wonder if that’s still the case….
Re: Coronavirus update - ALERT LEVEL ZERO

Frontline NHS staff in some Welsh hospitals were not regularly tested for Covid-19 until near the end of the second wave, BBC research has found.

For some reason those figures aren't readily published, which is strange when you consider what an incentive it would be for those who haven't had the vaccine. I quote the Govt :
The age adjusted risk of death involving COVID-19 was 32 times greater in unvaccinated compared with fully vaccinated people (between 2 January and 24 September 2021)
Re: Coronavirus update - ALERT LEVEL ZERO
Austrians are days away from a first lockdown for anyone not fully vaccinated,
Chancellor Alexander Schallenberg said a national lockdown for the unvaccinated was "probably inevitable".
Two-thirds of people should not suffer because others were hesitant, he said.

I wonder how they would police that? Keeping them indoors is going to be difficult is it not? Maybe it would be simpler just to deny them healthcare via the nhs (if we did it here) if they contract it, most clearly think they are safe from getting it and surely they don’t want to be a burden on our beleaguered nhs?
