It's certainly worrying when even some NHS staff won't get jabbed and are kicking up a fuss at being told to get vaccinated.
Apparently some are refusing the vaccine on ''religious grounds''
It's certainly worrying when even some NHS staff won't get jabbed and are kicking up a fuss at being told to get vaccinated.
A family member working in the NHS reckons that 90% of those in hospital are unvaccinated. More concerningly, a number of those are refusing treatment because they don't believe Covid exists or don't trust the treatments.
But there is less chance of you passing it on than an unvaxxed person.
Counter guesswork; The urban high density cities suffered much worse with it in the first 2 waves and thus there is far higher immunity to it this time round compared to people in villages who found it far easier to stay isolated before but have not bothered as much this time round
That or its just a viral illness that comes and goes in different areas which would explain the vast difference in success between different areas/countries etc with different rules and restrictions at different times contrary to what at times would be expected
Do you appreciate that you could vax 100% of the population and it would still not stop the spread, with the current vaccine effectiveness ?
Interesting article which is reflected in recent days by some of the better respected modellers on Twitter.

Always good to have some light at the end of the tunnel.
The way the figures are reported, cases and deaths more often seem lowest on Mondays and jump back up on Tuesdays.
Some like to compare this Tuesdays with last Tuesdays and the Tuesday before and so on.
I prefer to compare Mondays figures, every cloud etc.

Not quite! There have been cases of Polio in UK but none (of the 40-ish) were deemed to be caused by UK 'wild' infections.So how is it we haven't a a single case of Polio for over 30 years?

They're everywhere, a relative warned me not to wear a mask as I could get CO2 poisoning.Wife is currently ill in hospital and was telling me today patients are having Covid tests every 3 days, which she is pleased about, but yesterday she was taken for an MRI and an X-Ray by 2 different porters, one of the porters was telling her how he thinks the Covid jab doesn’t work as he knows a nurse who’s had all 3 jabs and is now seriously ill with Covid!!
Frightened the life out of her, she told the nurse looking after her when she got back and the nurse is dealing with it.
Gobsmacked that he would be saying such things while working in a hospital.
My understanding was that polio was worse after basic Hygiene improved.Basic public health measures as faeco-oral main route of transmission.
