I am 57 and have antibodies, even so when I get offered it I will definitely take it, from everything we know it’s the only way to get the thing under control.

Mandatory vaccines to travel -

I won’t be queuing up first to get one. What’s the view with others?
I still fail to understand how those vaccinated are at risk from those who choose not to be.
Yeadon states half or almost all, (not really being very specific there is he) tests for Covid are false positives ! That statement in its self really makes me wonder where he is coming from, doesn’t know if it’s half or almost all, so he is saying almost all Positive tests are possibly false, I don’t think so. Talking sh1te.

Vaccines aren't 100% effective. Those that haven't taken the vaccine but become infected with COVID can still infect those who have been vaccinated, albeit with a probable reduced chance of infection and/or serious illness. As the vaccine will be initially targeted at those who are at high risk, anti-vaxxers could still expose the most vulnerable to a higher risk than they would otherwise have if the vaccine had 100% uptake.

Well its gonna be interesting to see how those classed as old, high risk and vulnerable deal with the side affects. They don’t sound pleasant.


I find it interesting that there are no claims for how long the various vaccines last or whether they only deal with a particular mutation. Does 1 fit all?

I think the British Traditional Pub is finished. Pubs were for me traditionally the place to sit and talk and drink in a place that wasn't a shiiithole - most peoples homes then being a bit like that 60/70/80's even 90's.

Now most people have cool cribs, wine, whiskey and beer is cheap in ASDA, we've all got massive tellies, Sky, football etc nullify the pub convo, easier to stay at home.

Wales may say something different. We are still doing around 65% of our 2019 volume into Welsh pubs which is odd as we expected under 50%. We will and have lost pubs already. But as one more comes out of lockdown it seems that people are still getting out and into them. Although a lot less than before lockdown. Most are trying to weather the storm as when this is over they know there will be one **** of a party for months and months........We are already thinking about the amount of colleagues we will need to employee to serve the Trade next summer as we think it will go crazy. Really hope that the pubs weather the storm until then but will be tough.

Test results arrived at 6.00 this AM, unfortunately they are positive, so fingers crossed it doesn't get too bad.

The only advice I can give, is if you suffer from Asthma, make sure you have a plentiful supply of inhalers.
And keep a bottle of water handy for the razorblade throat.

When was the last time you thought a chesty cough was a good thing?

Early on in the pandemic there was some data suggesting that smokers did better than non smokers when infected. The notion was that they were better at coughing. I have no idea if the data still shows this, or what the current reasoning is.
