    You will still have some protection from your jabs. Also, some people just don't catch it. It's basically the same as when one of you has a cold. The other person doesn't always catch it.

    I had the butcher again the other day having his little rant (he forgot that he had already told me all this) that the vaccines were only a cod because if they worked nobody would have caught it. He's friendly enough with the wifes family so I just agreed with him and waited for my steak.

    There's an alarming number of people I've found that believe that's exactly what they're supposed to do.

    Yeah you're probably right on the vax as normally I'd catch a cold if someone sneezed a mile away.

    Either that or I've already had it without knowing that I've had it.

    Australia waiving in Djokovic under some sort of medical exemption from having been vaccinated is pretty lol even by their standards. I know a few full to the eyeballs with vaccine people who were denied travel when the borders were supposed to have opened [to visit family not seen for years] due to their incompetent visa admin system. I know they have form for it with famous people, but it's a total outrage.

    Also, obligatory lol at some 'Europeans'.

    Family friend Pierre-Jean Chalençon said they had left it too late to seek hospital treatment, deciding it was similar to flu. "People have said they were anti-vaxxers but they absolutely weren't," he told BFMTV. "Several friends told them to get themselves vaccinated but they felt because of their lifestyle and their [lack of] comorbidity, they weren't at risk of Covid."

    The local BBC news has been on for fifteen minutes, and every second of it has been calling for new restrictions, asking a doctor why he thinks the Prime Minister wants to 'gamble' with not doing so, moaning teachers... I'm sure the first BBC question when Johnson was on earlier was along the same lines. Imagine if this sort of shit was your only news content. No wonder people are mental.

    The ship has long since sailed even if you thought restrictions were a good idea, so at this point it's literally just wanting to interfere with people's lives for the sake of it, which, in fairness, since you-know-who has been sold as the main purpose of government.

    Foe summed it up well on the previous page when he said that government interference should have stopped when the vaccine was deployed (and enough people had had it) - that it's still intervening and a significant proportion of people want even more interference is a complete joke.

    As for the BBC, they've been a disgrace for well over a year on this.

    There's definitely a different feel from reading this message board and the other one I frequent to what it's like when you're in school.

    It's kind of understandable, as when you're stuck inside a small classroom with 30+ kids and a few adults for 30 hours a week (not to mention 200+ assemblies and mixing with the rest of the staff in the staff room who have been with their own classes all day) it does put a slightly different perspective on it, even though I am in the 'let's just crack on with things' camp.

    I'd say at the moment the feeling is more along the lines of an inevitable outbreak, but we'll see.

    Isn't that what a school is like every winter? A cold-ridden plague pit. It's just that this time the cold in question has the PM behind his lectern because pre-vaccinations it was a more dangerous disease for many.

    It's also fair to say that a common cold would not put this many people in hospital.

    However, the death rates seem down. Shall be interesting to see if that continues.

    It would be interesting to see the child hospitalisation rates pre and post Covid. I can't imagine there's much in it.

    Sounds like testing (no need for PCR after positive LFT for asymptomatic) and restrictions (testing for international travellers) are about to be eased. Allahukbar, we almost there, baby.

    With shit like this:

    Dr Mike Tildesley, from the University of Warwick and a member of the Scientific Pandemic Influenza Modelling group (Spi-M), told BBC Breakfast the next few days were key - although there was some cause for optimism.

    "It does look like we may be in a situation where - we're getting cases very, very high - but there's early evidence that things might be turning around in London," he said.

    "The problem, of course, is that if you're thinking about introducing controls, once you're beyond the peak of the infection, then that has much less effect."

    Had some quality heads-have-gone discourse with the bloke sitting next to me earlier. He's in a right tizzy about testing requirements for travellers being dropped. 'They could bring anything here!'

    Imagine if these people talked about immigrants in this way.

    She said: "Why would I not give protection to the most precious thing in the world to me, my daughter, rather than run the risk of her turning round to me in five, 10, 15 years' time, saying 'Mum, I've got heart problems, I've got brain problems, I've got lung problems, why didn't you do all you could at the time to protect me'?"

    Wait till she hears about the vaxxine side effects...

    I want to know what sort of VENTILATION people who are going mental think ought to be installed in schools. Short of massively intrusive industrial units, which might make teaching difficult, what would actually be better than opening windows? Are people just obsessing over it because it sounds like a clever technological solution?

    They're obsessing over it because it's their only way in to bleating about schools (and the OUR CHILDREN emotive hook and consequent RTs/likes it provides) without demanding they be closed.

    People like Deepti, 'Dr Zoe Hyde' etc have a market that needs content churned out.

    Yeah, but has anybody asked them what sort of systems they want in place? I don't have all these people on my Twitter feed. I only see them through people lolling at them, so I never follow the actual arguments.

    The Lateral Flow Tests are a steaming pile of wank. My wife took a test 7 days ago because she was going to visit an elderly relative and tested positive. On day 6, she tested negative. It's now day 7 and she has tested positive again. WTF?

    Bloke in my team had exactly the same thing, yet we've seen a resurgence lately in claims over their accuracy.
