Seems like Zackster should be more worried about his case of TuBERKulosis than COVID.

Jules72

London hospitalisations are topping….superb news 👍

Jules72 Are ICU beds filling up though?

Jules72

Funky occupancy of icu beds has hardly moved

@Funky showing up at his local

zackster The fucked up thing is I had my 2nd dose in June, yet I was able to get a vaccine passport that makes sense.

Along_the_Wire

Funky only a thicket wouldn’t get a booster. Do you want the government to give you a cuddle carry to the vaccination centre?

I think common sense should prevail in situations like this.

There is some new mutation in France now????

vinnyt77

zackster Yup, looks like it. Sounds too early to know anything about transmissability / severity though. Local health services in Marseille haven’t been screening positive tests for the variant so far. They’ve found a very small number of cases in ICUs that appear to be this new variant.

Have to hope it’s a similar story to Omicron in terms of impact.

A truly awful country.

Lozza G aside that is.

Jules72

vinnyt77 personally would ignore - if it outcompetes Onicron it will almost certainly be v mild

Along_the_Wire COVID is basically just THE SNIFFLES

Jules72

Along_the_Wire I have my booster next week but had covid 5 weeks ago.. and tbh, given how quickly antibodies (vs omicron) fade post current vaccines, I really wonder whether it’s worth my while… given how ineffective current vaccines are, if you have had covid without any issues, I’d question the whole idea of boosters..

Governments need to force pharmas to modify their vaccines, because you can’t be boosting every 3-6 months

Funky

Along_the_Wire Grant what is the point, the booster will only last 10-12 weeks and delta is pretty much dead now. Omicron is sniffles and the booster does very little against it anyway, better of taking vitamin c & d plus zinc to fight omicron than taking the booster esp if your under 40.
