The virus isn’t dangerous till Boxing Day

You’re missing the point lemongrove, Boris’ approach will be vindicated if the number of infections that translate into hospital admissions is balanced, it’s not about the infection being milder alone.

The fact that it is milder makes less hospital admissions likely.
I think the government in England is taking the right approach.

Your faith is touching. We will see what happens within a few days now.

lemongrove I agree.

I am incredibly impressed with the booster vax programme and all the hard work going into it, with vaccinators even planning to work on Christmas Day. They are fantastic.

Well now they're saying the booster only lasts 10 weeks so we may have to start another round of jabs. ? If this is true the doctor surgeries will never get back to normal practice.

Oh, good grief!
I've felt awful since I had mine, it could be something else I suppose but it is a big coincidence (-ve tests)

We really need a Vaccine Mark 2 which will protect against all the variants for a year. Until that happens we can't get back to normal. Then we can have a vaccine once a year with the 'flu jab.

Sorry to hear that Calistemon. My daughter had huge problems with her periods after her 2nd jab some months ago. She feels sure it was the jab. Nothing is perfect. She has just had her booster so just hoping the same thing doesn't happen. We all have to take the plunge and hope for the best I suppose. It's better than getting the virus which is very unpredictable as to how it affects people, and you don't want to be one of the unlucky ones.

Think we have had enough jabs for one year

Someone has brought out a vaccine that does cover all variants. Can’t remember when it’s called.
