Coronavirus - how is it/has it affected you?

My missus works for Pfizer and they're quite miffed that the plan is to extend the Times between doses as they have no data to support that ?

There is no data to support it, but I think it will be just fine. Pfizer was never ever going to say anything else other than their data only supported the dosing schedule used in the clinical trials.

However, that 3 week interval was chosen based on earlier assumptions about the need for a booster to increase a modest initial response but those assumptions have been comfortably exceeded. If you get infected in the wild, you don't get a booster 3 weeks later but you develop an immune response for at least some months. In the AZ approval, the MHRA noted that there is some evidence to suggest that a longer interval provided better immunity, and after a couple of weeks the process that is taking place is the same regardless of the type of vaccine, so it seems reasonable to assume at least that there is no harm to an extended interval.

The other thing is that we are not vaccinating for individual benefit, we are vaccinating for population benefit, and giving more people vaccines maximises the population benefit. I don't agree with the Govt on much, but I agree with this.

Purely out of interest (I'm nothing to do with the grammar police), how do you decide when to use "ave" and when to use "have"?

aches on joints for no reason. High light of me day, Doing the fire.
Re City, Ave lost all interest in Football. Going to games and having VAR just killed the enjoyment. Re yesterday’s game, On any other day I would of been screaming at the box when 3-0. I just could not be bothered. I would sooner have an Eccles cake. Well if I could taste it. Flippin eck, Ave not even looked at holidays yet. This is odd times we live in.

Then the estate agent isn't following the guidelines. My parents are moving from where they live (around an hour away) to a bungalow just around the corner from me. While we were still in Tier 3 I had to go and check some things out in the property that they are buying as it was easier than them driving down and back. I had to arrange a time that would allow at least half an hour after the previous owner's son had left the property to allow all doors and windows to be left open and for them to wipe down everything. I then had to visit wearing a mask and gloves, with the obvious distancing from the estate agent while in the bungalow. The rules are pretty stringent for estate agents so it seems that your local one isn't sticking to them.

ave no idea. Joking aside. Nottinghamshire is an odd place for language. When we moved here in 1970 I was 7. Dozens of pit villages had a massive influx of miners from Derbyshire, geordies, Mackems, scousers, York’s, Scots, welsh, Kent, lancs, Cumbria. Not forgetting large communities of Polish from the Second World War ( bloody good workers). You needed an interpreter when playing. The language was a strange combination of me duck, och aye the noo, haway man, thees thaas and thous. Then there was the queens English from Kent.
back then the only thing posh about a boy from Rochdale was using an indoor toilet . Happy days me man.

Supermarket staff are at more risk than Teachers.

I love people that put this rubbish up, still it's not like there isn't a form book though.

My wife is a teacher in Year 2, she has 30 pupils she spends all day with, no PPE allowed, they pick their noses, lick stuff, kiss each other and spontaneously do all sorts of weird ***, all without masks of any sort. These same pupils parents put plenty of pictures on facebook showing them all ignoring the rules. This new variant is shown to be more virulent apparently via kids. Now in a supermarket you hardly spend any time with anyone, queues at tills are minimal and 99% have masks on, if there was an issue with Supermarkets spreading it it really would have yet the rise once schools came back has been massive.

Add to this my son is in year 6 at another school and his bubble is with 60 kids and they do the same stuff and he comes home to mix with the wife and I, the amount of washing, cleaning and anti bac that goes on is immense, add in my wife is high risk due to Cavities in her lungs due to pneumonia and she is still going to work. Her school shut twice due to Covid and my son's had multiple cases, we keep our fingers crossed but you never know.

You need to go sit in the corner facing the wall wearing your hat...it's pointed and doesn't say Witch on it.

When I moved out of Croydon to Kent and met MrsD she often used the words "mutton eye" which I finally realised was country bumpkin for "mustn't I" hardly the Queens English ??
