  1. No mate I'm H, But I really don't want to state who I am, I don't have an agenda of shit stirring, I just felt sorry for the newbie who was posting, we have met by the way..and I thought we got on ok . I was a bit shocked by Roosters vitriol, as he has never met me. I would just like to add that I haven't been given a fair crack as admin has locked me out without even making contact or warning me, for just trying to help someone !!! Not really a fair way of dealing with it , I'm now waiting for the abuse as I can see I'm not welcome here,
    By the way I found an alternative route in..and I'm a tech numpty but I expect that will now be closed as well, so like i said previously, If I don't reply it's because I've been locked out again, stay well H.

    Why didn’t you use the “I’ve forgotten my password” option as you said the reason you didn’t use your existing account was that you had forgotten your password.

    Anyway..............
    Back to the topic of the thread. I got my first AZ jab this morning. The process was well organized and I’m now halfway to freedom. Hopefully
    No issues so far but this could come in the next day or so.
    Second jab is 24th June

    The wife and I took the 2 shot Moderna version pretty early on. We sat here in isolation for over a year until It was available. Our area was pretty bad. We lost some people we had known for a long time. Now that the vaccnation rate has gone.UP, the infection rate has dropped dramatically. I did not really want to get a vaccination. But this was one of those calculated risk situations. I wish so much of the population would have acted responsible and this would not have been so bad. ...J.D.

    Well I gladly took my first AZ jab the other day, if it means we can get back some sort of normality, bring it on! And I'm getting 5g now :p

    Good video on the current situation in India and what might have lead up to it, its far from over.

    If you have some spare change there is a link in the video where you can donate if you feel like it.

    Funny isn't it that Boris is getting slated by a lot of people for the actions taken here, as though the he made the decisions alone without advice or consensus.
    All the restrictions were put in place to stop the NHS being overwhelmed, especially after some of the scenes shown of Italian hospitals, it seems to have worked.
    The horrendous scenes in India show what happens when it doesn't.
    I wonder if people will realise what might have happened here, given our population density, if restrictions had not been applied properly.
    We all know how high the numbers have been across the old mill towns where some of the restrictions have been ignored - I live in an area with the unwanted distinction of having the highest infection rate in England right now.
    The vaccinations are knocking down the severity of cases.
    Take one when you can.

    A lot of times its country specific too as we do have different cultures, different upbringing and some trust the government more than others.
    There isn't a "one solution fits all".

    I think a lot is down to education too, now I live in a very wealthy country (and are very glad I do when looking the the video I posted) but we struggle with anti vaxxers, big gaps in income and disbeliefs in expert advice (thanks google for making everyone experts).

    Also, people and their urge for having to follow traditions....
    Wasn't aware of the Kumbh Mela crazyness in India, but they are not unique in wanting to stick to traditions, why do people have to stick to traditions if it means putting others at risk.

    First Pfizer jab yesterday. Next one first days of July.
    Slight immediate arm pain, but could ride 20 km on the bike just after. No side effects so far.
    I'm just disappointed by the 5G, I wished get a brain integrated sat nav. Not working.

    Give it a few weeks @Hubaxe, they might not have enabled the nanobots in the vaccine yet. When they do you will notice cuz you can feel a tingling sensation when you stream 4K videos.

    Had jab No2 this morning (AstraZeneca). After getting home was quite dizzy for a while but that’s gone now.
    The reception lady told me that our vaccination passport app will go live July 1st. For us in the EU it looks like travel and holidays will be possible to most places (providing both jabs have been done or you’ve had a negative test result) and I’m already planning a trip to Germany later next month.

    Yes, Angela's pushing for a uniform approach in the EU, not sure if she'll get her way.
    Also seen an amusing conspiracy theory that Boris wants us all to stay in the UK to spend our holiday money here to assist the economy. Living in Cornwall I'm hoping not, last summer was murder and this year will be even worse I think.
    Best stay away anyway, after a year of very low infection rates here it has now spiked to above UK average. Could be the G7 effect (another conspiracy?) but more likely combined with recent May Bank influx IMO.

    Well, in my first post on this subject, many of you disagreed with my view on vaccinating throughout the world. Politician's also thought we should look after ourselves first. Now we are in a merry-go-round of continuous mutations because of that decision. Short-sighted or what? They have the letters muddled up. Rather than Omicron it should be called Moronic.

    An interesting point of view.

    Pretty much every politician globally puts their electorate first.

    That’s their job, to represent their citizens best interests.

    If that can be done in a way that’s mutually beneficial to a global community then that’s a major bonus.

    I see no harm in accurately reporting vaccination figures. If those are better than those of procrastinating politicians from other countries then so be it.

    It's a fine idea to vaccinate the world but in practice it's not going to happen for lot's of reasons. For example, how do you go out into thousands of square miles of African Bush and vaccinate people you can't find or communicate with ? There are many other reasons but I'm not going to write a book about it.
