Booster booked. Will be a day less than six months when I get it.

[Simon]

How far out is that from now Alex? You can actually make the booking after 5 months anyway, but only normally get offered dates from 6 months.

[DeskJockey]

23rd of December. The first date I could get.

[Simon]

Ah gotcha. So you could've booked now anyway.

[DeskJockey]

Yes. Changes made no real difference for me.

[DaveE]

Because I'm old now (50) I had my booster a couple of weeks ago

Got my flu jab on Saturday

I'll probably get struck by lightning now

That's ridiculous.

No way is that right.











It should be for everyone, not just the over 60's.

[Broccers]

Booster every 3 months forever wooo

Getting ridiculous

Had a heated debate on this in the pub yesterday - one old geezer reckons the unjabbed should not be allowed out

[Simon]

He's had plugs.

[Rich B]

Plugs, fillers and Botox by the looks of it!

Yeah I think he admitted on a podcast that he'd had some work done. Also has a child now too, which I'd never have guessed had he not said.

What I would like to know is are they actively looking for more scary varients, testing for them and going WOW 3 cases etc when in actual reality there is no need to be concerned at all.

Getting very tiring. The worst thing is people are buying into it and taking precautions like not going out or on holiday in case they have to stay in for 10 days just by being near someone. I don't know anyone with a NHS app on their phone, does it even work now lol

New variants, yes. There are virologists looking at viruses all the time which is how COVID19 was identified in the first place. The 'scary' part is spin put on it by the Daily Mail et al.

The DM get impressively imaginative with their naming of each new variant.

Delta: MUTANT VIRUS
Omicron: SUPER MUTANT VIRUS

You mean 99 percent of news outlets that want to sell clicks and CRISIS FEAR!!!!
