My imaginations not that good!About as likely as Scotland winning the cup. But imagine if it happened.
Thanks you too. She is and we are hopeful that a “bubble border” will open up ......although there was 1 case in NZ last week and the media was suggesting it would be shut!!All the best to you Wattie. I'm lead to believe your missus is a Kiwi. I think the border is opening soon. Hopefully she will be able to see her family next month. Think about us poor expats stuck in Blighty
Really? Hope it's OK over there.My imaginations not that good!
Terrible innit.Really? Hope it's OK over there.
I was hoping to see my Kiwi family in 2020 as well as going on the **** with the SM crowd. Doesn't look like either is gong to happen any time soon. I don't expect to get back to NZ before I pop my clogs now.
That only makes sense if you take the view that the whole population needs to be vaccinated to achieve herd immunity and thereby prevent excess deaths from a virus with a 99.7% survival rate.
I agree (and mentioned previously) that vaccines have been effective and should be taken up by those in vulnerable age groups and/or who have underlying health issues. But the rest of us should be left to acquire naturally immunity as the virus becomes endemic. Basically, once those that are at risk are protected, let the rest of us get on with our lives and make our own choices, as we do in other areas of health, wellbeing and social interaction. Sweden is a good example of this approach.
I assume you would support flu vaccines for all too based on your point of view ? Vaccinating everyone for everything regardless, on an annual basis with top up jabs in between ? Those top up jabs by the way already having been excused the rigour of a testing regime.
According to latest media reports, the UK should achieve herd immunity next week in any case. So we should be in good shape if the vaccines are as effective as they are reported to be, and we shouldn’t see any 3rd wave in terms of excess deaths.
As an aside, it interests me greatly that there has been so little coverage throughout the pandemic about how we can all protect ourselves in other ways, through diet, exercise, supplements, etc. Basically, optimising our own highly effective immune systems. If the Government approach was really all about saving lives, surely there should be a more holistic approach to public health.
I understand the sentiment and that may be true for some but until I see hard meaningful and large amounts of data to prove this is the case it is merely an opinion of some potentially based on small amounts of sample data.From what I’ve read it’s generally felt that vaccines give a stronger immunity than the natural one your body produces.
Yes got a text with a link. It took me to the gp practice that I was assigned to to book.Did you book online Gaz?
