Coronavirus

This is all great news. Can't wait for my mum to get it.

Having this as the first post on the page takes it out of context a bit and makes Duncs seem like a bit of a cunt.

I should edit that!

Probably for the best.

Frankly I'll breathe a huge sigh of relief when she's gone.

I thought the same with this post...

@mik, how's Mrs Mik recovering?

I've just had my MMR vaccine done by the same nurse who will give my covid one next week. She said the current guidance is that they will only give one dose for the AZ vaccine but are sticking to 2 doses for the Pfizer one.

Hmmm - there's no sign of that anywhere in any news outlets. Sounds to me like the nurse is mixed up there. They are reconsidering the 12 week wait for the 2nd Pfizer jab following data coming out of Israel where they've found that the 1st offers very little immunity. The AZ jab is different though in that it confers a fairly reasonable level of protection after the first dose. There's nothing to suggest that the 2nd AZ jab won't be delivered at all though.

I'll ask the wife. She's still not had any contact about getting it. And she just found out that 2,000 key staff in the supply chain at AZ will now receive it. She's not in the supply chain, but she's getting a little frustrated that everyone around her seems to be getting it before she does! Given the free-for-all that now seems to be happening I'm surprised that AZ haven't just opened up to vaccinating all their staff themselves, in priority order at least.

I had the Pfizer and while I was having my 15 minute observation period, they aimed me at a QR code to scan in order to book my next appointment - which was minimum 11 weeks.

The Israel data is a bit hard to interpret as it's "real world" observational data rather than a carefully controlled study. A lot of the infections reported were in the two week window before the first dose takes effect. It's a worry though.

In brighter news, my 77 year old dad is getting his on Tuesday, hopefully my 73 year old mum will not be far behind!

Test results just came back, I'm negative.

That's a relief.

Yup. Unfortunately the results came back five hours too late to attend the funeral in person. Felt very weird watching a live stream of it.

How many tests have you had now?

Aw dammit. Sorry.

[DeskJockey]

How many tests have you had now?

Two since March. I rarely go anywhere these days, and my wife is tested at least weekly (and has had the vaccine). As she's always tested negative and I've not had symptoms that has been fine.

It's not just the organisers they need to go after - if the organisers aren't the school governors and head, then they also need to be going after them as well! I doubt anyone will cop for anything ultimately though

[DeskJockey]

Numpties.

[Simon]

I see on Sky News that the school didn't know it was going on, and an 'agreement with a third party that allowed events to be organised on site has been terminated'. Not that such an agreement should be used at the moment anyway? There is no such events you could do under current lockdown restrictions.

Those responsible are more than 'numpties', they're criminally evil. Statistically it's almost impossible that no-one attending that had coronavirus. And like rats they scattered when the police turned up. Everyone who attended that should hang their heads in shame. A pox on their houses.

400 if them in the same room, that seems quite likely to be on the cards for 'em.

And they fined a whole 5 of them
