Well, hopefully covid is aware of the plan and sticks with it...
It doesn't have to be aware to be fair .. the jabs should stop people getting seriously ill
We are stopping it's evil scheme!

I very much doubt they will bring release date forward. They've said many times that they need to check the data between the two dates and then if all is well a release will happen.

Very slightly, and still well below 1 in just about every area of the uk which means it is still dying out, just a little bit slower. Don't believe the shock headlinesR number rising from what I've just seen

My wife (NHS) has had 2 Pfizer, nada.
There is a trial ongoing of Sputnik and AZ mixed. The basic idea is the same with both, but AZ uses the same adenovirus for both shots. This carries a hypothetical risk that you could point an immune response to the adenovirus for the second shot. Sputnik uses two different adenoviruses to get around this. There is probably little difference in reality, but mixing the two should not be a problem.
Likewise Pfizer and Moderna are basically similar tech in slightly different vehicles. I had Pfizer first and would happily take Moderna for my second.

It's important to note it's not dying out. It's just spreading slower.

I heard that yesterday and was very relieved indeed. I admit to thinking "you can bugger off if you think I'm having more of this" when I was feeling very poorly the other night. Still way better than getting Covid (although actually not in my case!) and will be a bit more prepared should I react on 2nd June.

I had the astra zeneca jab on Wednesday , very efficient service , but boy did i feel rough Thursday . My legs felt like i had climbed a mountain , severe lethargy and muscle aches , yet my head felt floaty , dreamy . Could of fell asleep standing up . Feel fine today though . I have been told that strong reaction is an indicator of a good immune system , dont know how true that is though ?

Work are brilliant
364 days post lockdown we are having screens installed between the desks lol
Lucky we thought ahead and asked for them on wheels so we can put away and then winter get them back for flu season
We also getting a rapid 30 min test centre in the plant room.. not much use now but guess it's worth it lol imagine come in be tested positive and off we go home
Cutting edge ofc. Quick action

3rd wave in Europe. Whats our best guess of it happening here? Have we jabbed enough to get ahead of it?

One of the main reasons I believe the 3rd wave is happening is due to the lack of people receiving the vaccine

I think we should now be enforcing a complete ban on incomming passengers into the UK, or if that's too much for some to stomach an enforced and marshalled 2 week quarantine period at their expense for every traveller into the UK. thats plane, ship or train.
Is Europe hoping their third wave will enter here so they can continue their arguements against the AZ vacine that they say isn't good yet argue we arent giving them enough of?

I'm in France, and here they believe that best results come from an eight week gap between AZ shots.
I'll trust my doctor.
