The COVID-19 Blues

That makes more sense, I was starting to worry about you.

Personally think taking a 4th vaccine, one that wasn’t designed for this variant and displays very low effectiveness, is overkill…. especially if you’ve had covid already. If they update the vaccines for the current strains (or even for the original Omicron strain), Ill take them more seriously.

Jules72 it is time to get Funky!

Jules72 from what I am seeing the current Pfizer and ModeRNA vaxxes are effective and they think spikes in younger people is due to a lack of boosters

I’m lost with the vaccines and variants now I’m feeling kind of cocky (had covid early april)

However in Cyprus out of the blue, fucking loads of people are suddenly getting it the 2nd or 3rd time. Some of them had a reasonably easy ride / bad cold effect last time and this time have been floored. Fully vax’d.

What’s the craic with the best vaccine for what variant now?

Hursty

NasserAlazzawi is it true Cyprus have brought back masks indoors for public venues?

I’m not sure what’s worse, Jonatton’s bar or Covid updates?

Jules72

Smallman1 yeah… we should ban covid threads

alistair

Dan

benson

Old-Dutch where you gonna be?

I love Mallorca. Helps to have a lovely little place I am always welcome in a lovely part of the island. Port d’Andratx. Stunning place

NOt sure if its just me but the amount of people that ive met that either have gone/are going to Majorca this year is staggering. I know it’s always been fairly popular but above any other year, it has to be one of the leading holiday destinations.

Along_the_Wire

seanc80 I only go for cycling and well outside school holidays, so it’s actually all quite chilled, but fuck me, you see the sheer number of baggage reclaim belts (it’s like the pod farms from The Matrix) and you can only imagine how horrific it would be in school holidays. The cycling is fantastic everywhere there.

I was watching that Manchester airport fly on the wall doco thingy a bit back and they said on that Majorca was the number one destination for missing luggage 😂

jonattonyeah Around here it’s a logistical issue. In the prior two whatever years there was an entire Covid infrastructure in place with many of us 100% FTE on that. I’m now 100% back on HIV along with most others who returned to their normal jobs. We were hoping for insurance/medical homes to take over the lead for vaccines and boosters as we, as the public department, help those with no safety net. But we seem to have some bottlenecks. The other problem is that the model used for disaster service work is taken from FEMA which is more of a military approach in the event of an earthquake or hurricane. It was never intended to be something that lasted as long as this has. Square peg, round hole. Wish I had better answers but I’m not sure what the plan is.

Yo, Jonattan, what’s it like to be challenging Hugo for the most boring poster award these days?

bosstrabs

I don’t think I’ve bothered fully reading a Jonattan post since his last Essential Mixes Ranked one.

Paragraphs of tedium.
