Coronavirus - how is it/has it affected you?

Partner and I had the AZ not any reactions at all.

We also got AZ'd no real side effects noted for myself...
But, herself had a reaction requiring a conversation with our GP...
He offered a couple of suggestions as to why and asked to be kept informed of any further/worsening of symptoms...
After a further 48hrs the 'reaction' had dissipated...
 
Hearing and seeing a lot of folks organising a load of stuff on the back of 29tth March, 12th April, 17th May and 21st June dates. I hope all understand that the dates are very provisional and conditional, and that if one moves then those following have to move the same amount to maintain the 5 weeks separation that much has been made of.

And I hope that those who would have to move the dates have the cojones to do so in the face of what would inevitably be huge resistance from within and without.

Meanwhile I become aware that behaviours of some groups and individuals in the context of the brilliant vax role out are starting to push and overstep the boundaries. And as is being reported from some parts of the country infection rates can rise from their current reducing levels. Concerns...

My only added is the 29th isn't conditional

8th march is stage 1 as is 29th march

That's going ahead

With 5 weeks between stages

If anything happens on 8th it will be 12th April pushed back not 29th as that's stage 1b

It was regarding teachers and why they didn’t get the jab if they prioritised education etc etc. Van-Tam had his numbers lined up comparing death rates with cab drivers, hospitality staff etc etc so by the end of it, how I interpreted it anyway, it was in no way unclear that he was sick and tired of the question as the goal was to save lifes.

My reading of VT is that he will happily take any and every opportunity to hammer home the message...and all of the messages can bear regular repeating.

Ok - ty for the clarification as I hadn’t fully grasped that. But when I hear of sold out Reading and Leeds festivals and matches at Wembley never mind all the appointments and holidays being booked. It’s going to be tough moving the dates. Praying that it doesn’t come to that...it’s up to each and every one of us to know we are doing the right thing and to know when what we plan to do is not. And change our plan.

Fully agree with the other points , but I think the festival's are gambling like airlines etc to keep themsleves in buisness

Sell tickets now and have to offer refund down line if cancelled

Get some cash flow

Agreed. But tbh my lad looks somewhat pessimistically at summer prospects thinks autumn better bet - of course he’d love them to go ahead as its his sector and he did a late night DJ session at Leeds 2yrs ago. And there will be very many businesses local to Leeds and Reading and UK-wide setting their plans and cash flow forecasts on the assumption that they will go ahead with the tens of thousands of folk that will be attending them. Would be quite a blow if they were cancelled and had to be moved. Here’s hoping though.

Lockdown boredom sufficiently serious now for me to have spent the morning cleaning my wife's car:eek:

Ditto, its so bad that I just cleaned my own car. Had it 3.5 years and its the first time I've done it.(And possibly only the second time I've done any car in the past 10 years). At least I can be fairly sure that lockdown will have ended before I do it again.
