The General Covid19 Thread

Jules72

zackster this article says 4 out of 13 but I think that may have grown to 20 (I was told 20 today)…. in fairness the affected four only had mild symptoms (according to the article)… anyway, the Seychelles and Maldives stories are potentially more troublesome

Jules72 If my Maldives trip goes up the spout because of your meddling, Jules, I’ll be FEWMIN

Jules, you’ve forgotten one thing.

We’re all jabbed up with THE GREAT BRITISH VACCINE.

Jules72

Smallman1 err Ed old chap, point here is that the great British vaccine doesn’t seem to be very effective against variants

zackster

Joe needs to allow the ModeRNA to be manufactured everywhere asap. And Bill Gates needs to be hung by his fucking entrails

Jules72 Jules, you seem to have forgotten one thing.

Ed is dosed up with BROCCOLI, BANTS and is ready to kitchen sink the fuck out of it.

The COVID can come calling for him, but like his doorbell that’s wired into his neighbour’s house, uh-oh NOBODY’S HOME!

zackster

Jules72 I have to suppress the urge to remind him of this on a daily basis.

All I’m seeing here is Ed with hair? No?

Jules72

Along_the_Wire problem is you’re talking about the booster being available 6-9 months after discovery of the variant (the p-1 was known in January I think)… so basically you want to keep the nasty foreign variants out in the meantime….that means shutting the border… ooops… the only way to be safer than sorry is doing that imo

Jules72

Along_the_Wire put them into lockdown now and your holiday will happen 🤓

zackster

Thrilled I got the ModeRNA. Can’t wait to re up this fall.

jonattonyeah

We’re having issues with people not coming back for their second Moderna or Pfizer ’cause they got the idea in their head, thanks to J&J, that only one shot is needed. These people definitely need another shot, but of the bullet variety.

LT42

jonattonyeah I posted a link the other night that research shows you only need 1 shot if you’ve already had Covid. Have you heard anything about this?

jonattonyeah

LT42

Yes, that’s the theory - that one’s bout with Covid serves as the first shot. We’ve been telling people…if you had a bad reaction to the first shot, you likely had Covid previously even if you didn’t know it (I had a bad reaction which backs that idea up). We’re still telling everyone to get their second shot anyway.

Mad_Cyril

jonattonyeah We’re still telling everyone to get their second shot anyway.

Think this is the most important bit.

Can remember a lot of folks claiming they had it dec 19 / jan 20 in UK after a bad bout of flu.

Despite no positive test for antibodies.

Best to stick with known knowns.

zackster

This is the real tragedy out of all of this. Fuck you Joe!
