I noticed that your local 'Dutch cigarette' shop should still be open - back in the day it would have been a dream haha.
I noticed that your local 'Dutch cigarette' shop should still be open - back in the day it would have been a dream haha.Full lockdown just announced here, from 5am tomorrow. All shops and hospitality to close and my match has been cancelled tomorrow afternoon too. Think it could be a rough few weeks coming up.
Wish me luck lads.
Fucks sake. Putting to one side Wwhether or not it's the right thing to do it a really difficult thing to go through, especially having been through a couple already.
All you can do is tough it out. Good luck.
Bollocks to this anyway, having some time off this place.
The football threads will be quieter than my sex life for the next few weeks when games are inevitably cancelled and this thread is no good for mental health, constant fucking doom and gloom.
Peace
As a total diversion, enjoy watching this completely anonymous stranger wearing a chess suit take on one of the best players of all time in the Spain's Got Talent final. If that doesn't get you hard nothing will.
Not sure if posted already but this came out of Imperial yesterday.
Omicron largely evades immunity from past infection or two vaccine doses | Imperial News | Imperial College London
COVID-19 OMICRON - The Omicron variant largely evades immunity from past infection or two vaccine doses according to the latest Imperial modelling.www.imperial.ac.uk
During the briefing, figures revealed the LAS Trust has 353 staff off due to Covid – a rise from the 214 not working because of the virus last week. Overall there are 832 staff off sick, out of its total workforce of 10,951.
Once again you're either being ridiculously obtuse or just ignorant.For the London NHS / Ambulances
Thats a massive amount if they are all triple jabbed surely?
The researchers found a significantly increased risk of developing a symptomatic Omicron case compared to Delta for those who were two or more weeks past their second vaccine dose, and two or more weeks past their booster dose (for AstraZeneca and Pfizer vaccines
So if I get boosted my vaccine effectiveness against omicron increases from 0-20% up to somewhere between 55-80%.....but drops away again within a fortnight?
Is that right? And if it is, surely its time to head back to the lab to tweak the vaccines so they actually work for omicron....
No, it's just poorly worded. Of course it's worth getting your booster as two doses are not very effective against it.So if I get boosted my vaccine effectiveness against omicron increases from 0-20% up to somewhere between 55-80%.....but drops away again within a fortnight?
Is that right? And if it is, surely its time to head back to the lab to tweak the vaccines so they actually work for omicron....
....and still makes me question whether it's worth me having an mrna booster vaccine for the sake of 2 weeks enhanced protection....
They’re not now saying it. They’ve always said it about any vaccine ever in the entire history of vaccines.So people are now saying a booster doesn't make a difference with catching or spreading. Only to minimize their personal symptoms.
Isn't there a period after that you should ignore a positive test? Ie jabbed one day and test positive the next.
I don’t think it says that. Read it again:So if I get boosted my vaccine effectiveness against omicron increases from 0-20% up to somewhere between 55-80%.....but drops away again within a fortnight?

Exactly, this should be headline news to promote the booster jabA line from Sajid Javid from the sky news app I’ve just seen:
“Around 9 out of 10 people who require the most hospital care were unvaccinated”
Even taking that comment with a pinch of salt and say it was slightly exaggerated, surely the proof there is if you get the vaccine , your less likely to end up in hospital , the nhs will then be less over whelmed , then less restriction would need to be put in place? Really is a difficult concept to understand isn’t it?????
Plants?Literally has to stay at home for a few weeks with his pants round his ankles.
Just had Pfizer part 3 #loyal

And vaccination reduces transmission too. Always has, always will. If you reduce infection, you reduce transmission.
However the booster is obviously far more important for Omicron, hence the push on it.
There's no need to look for excuses to avoid vaccination and boosters. The best chance of avoiding more lockdowns is a high proportion of vaccinated and boosted people in the general population.
How much less likely are you to spread covid-19 if you're vaccinated?
Vaccination still greatly reduces the risk of infecting others despite the arrival of the delta variant, recent studies showwww.newscientist.com
Which prompts the question of why they recently quashed the Scottish one recently.So if I get boosted my vaccine effectiveness against omicron increases from 0-20% up to somewhere between 55-80%.....but drops away again within a fortnight?

Vaccine passports are a complete waste of time.
Was at a late night drinking establishment last night where one was required, and the Old Bill turned up there checking in with the bouncers whilst we were there, but the vast majority didn’t have the app so everyone just either googled a random QR code or one person WhatsApp’d everyone else a copy of theirs and got in.
Pointless.
Said last night il stay off this thread but had a change of heart.
Il just post the good news, then fuckoff again until the next good news article
So heres today's
Rising Omicron cases not being matched by hospitalisations
Brackley had experienced one of the highest Omicron case rates in the country, but admissions at Northampton Hospital (pictured) have not matched the surge.www.dailymail.co.uk
