Covid - news and views

"People are entitled to believe what they want but what they are not free to do is to impose those beliefs on others. There was some evidence that right wing agitators had infiltrated the group."
yes, and the High Priest of all this unrest is the very intelligent Piers Corbyn, who in my opinion is trying his best to get arrested so that he can become something of a martyr like figure, and i suspect the authorities realise this, and that is why he still has his freedom.
So the authorities are between a rock and a hard place, let him roam free and try to keep his destructive actions to a minimum, or lock him up and have an uprising of his followers, either way he wins.
Cant believe his followers are so stupid, not long ago he was exposed as happy to accept 10K if he did not attack the AstraZeneca vaccine, having been duped by pranksters.
Makes my blood boil when i see these people, especially as one of ours spent 24 hrs over the New year sticking needles into peoples arms.

"where are these morons getting their info and why do they believe it, it is beyond me."
do a search on Google for Piers Corbyn, his moniker is all over this
"Piers Corbyn Denies the Coronavirus Pandemic & Says It's a 'Psychological Operation"

Just in case anyone is interested (and you're probably not) had a few phones calls this morning regarding supply work. One local school needs 10 supply staff for this week.

Robust action. Like what, hung drawn and quartered?

If I read the reports correctly M Macron's statement/sound bite (which, judging by the reactions in the French parliament have little chance of being put into effect) were aimed against all those unvaccinated.
So it's maybe worth pointing out again that not everyone which is unvaccinated (many for reasons I can't being to understand) should be considered an "anti vaxxer". It's worth saving one's wrath for that latter group.

or robust action if you’re a tennis player with lots of powerful sponsors and friends?

Excellent! Well done the Aussies, they’ve taken the pandemic seriously from the outset and continue to do so.

According to face ache........hung drawn and quartered is inciting violence and murder and "my friends" post was removed and despite my objection has never been re instated.It seems that the whole world,not just anti vaxers has become a very different place.

And good on the Aussies - hope the decision is upheld by the courts on Monday.
It's a perfect example of an individual having the right to decline the vaccine (and as I've said repeatedly it's beyond me why anyone able to receive it should turn it down) but having to accept the consequences of that decision. 👍

JVB - it defeats me why you continue this nonsensical finger pointing.
Any new variant is grim news but M Macron has no more need to "talk his way" out of it than Boris had to for the delta variant and I don't remember you gleefully jumping on that news at the time.
Let's just face the fact that it's bad news all round.

My OH has just received her 4th Covid jab.I await mine-both of us having underlying health conditions.She has had them all now-2 Astra Zeneca,one Pfizer and ,to top them off,a Moderna.
No ill effects from any of them for her other than slight headache,such as the flu jab gives you.
She is much more relaxed about going out and about now-albeit always with a mask on.
Despite 3 Pfizer jabs and" precautions" I caught a stinking cold over Christmas .It was not Covid ,as I was tested and tested again -at the OH's insistence.
So,Life goes on and you can still catch an ordinary cold -just like I do most Christmas times!

I don’t see anything wrong with stopping an influx of visitors from heavily infected areas-its common sense. The Countries that don’t adopt those protective options are the ones to worry about. I’ve never been a xenophobe, I am European but welcome all nationalities who won’t import diseases or Coronavirus to the UK👍🏻

Absolutely agree - what Boris and Macron (and others of course) have done is to (in their judgement) protect their citizens as far as is possible. And it's often quoted that the first job of government is to do exactly that.
We can, and have done, argue about the effectiveness of measures taken by different governments, but that's a separate issue.
Finger pointing at individuals and particular nations achieves absolutely nothing.

Had a phone call yesterday to say I was eligible for a fourth jab . I agreed and the nurse was at the front door within an hour and the job was done. I didn't ask what Vaccine it was and neither did I have an additional card to say what it was. All alright as far as I am concerned ,however my Son is very anxious over the lack of information I am without.

We have both had two really bad colds, very unusual for us, and like you we tested each time. We are in similar situation K, OH still needs to be very careful, particularly as he will be having more surgery later this year. But we are getting on with things our own way, do what we consider best for us, and those close to us. Most (but not all😡) family and friends we can trust to understand why we are being so cautious.
Al the best, hope the cold keeps away👍

If it’s anything like the three jabs we’ve had, they showed up immediately on our GP record. If you have online access you should find the information there. If you don’t currently have access you can request it, or at least get them to check up on what you were given.
