    If it is anything like Flu though the potential for variants is infinite, so what then?

    Leave the Virologists and Vaccine Developers to it and take a booster each Autumn. Job done.

    But is that a case of 'here it is if you want it, it's up to you' or 'here it is and we required X percentage of people to take it otherwise we'll bring in restrictions on freedoms'?

    Hopefully the former, but who knows? I saw the below earlier. We really should just be letting the AntiVaxx mongs die now.

    The jammy bastard appears to have swerved it, despite his leg looking terrible still they intially told him to just come back twice a week for review and told him last night just to come in for dressing changes. Tattoo probably wrecked, and not sure the 'I'm doing what I want' approach to medical problems will see him right later in life but he's won this round.

    Finally got involved in the covid action this week. My son got it off a kid at the childminder's last week. He had a headache on Saturday and then a temperature on Sunday and tested positive on Monday morning. My wife just tested positive this morning. Alpha male that I am, I remain negative.

    Doing a test (LFT) on a 4 year old is brutal. I was surprised I got enough 'content' for a test but the positive line came up immediately so he must have been fully loaded with it at the time.

    A negative lateral flow still qualifies you for a covid pass right? Unless you know you're covid positive (in which case you're obviously pond life if you're trying to get a pass to go spread it around), why would anyone pay £100 for a pass when you can just do a test for free?

    That sort of wibble would appear to confirm previous suspicions about why proper border controls haven't ever been considered.

    That basically the sort of people making these decisions - scientists, civil servants, politicians - would sooner do literally everything else than shut the borders, because 1) it's just not something they could ever contemplate; and 2) if they managed to do it then people might expect them to keep some of the infrastructure/restrictions in place in the longer term.

    There’s some right bullshitters around. Pretty much everyone most have broken at least one rule more than once. Even if it was just going for exercise more than once a day.

    I do remember early in the pandemic Tronald suggesting closing the border to China and people moaning about how racist and xenophobic that was.

    I tested positive today. Which, assuming it is correct, means I have caught it twice in the space of six weeks.

    So fuck knows what is going on there. I might have to join Magic and Taz on Team Bovid.

    Again though that’s the misconception that so many have, that vaccines or being a positive case have any bearing on you catching it. Completely false (someone please tell my butcher). It hugely reduces the chances of being seriously ill, not reduces the chance of testing positive.

    I don't doubt that. Obviously I'm aware you can be fully vaccinated and still catch it. That is exactly what happened to me at the beginning of December. To catch the same illness twice in the space of six weeks is a bit of a piss take though. Different variants, maybe?

    I trying to think of a time in my life where I have ever, for example, caught two colds in such close proximity. I can't think of any. But then you don't mentally keep track of these things do you. It's undoubtedly possible I assume.

    Fair point actually. My Mum is a nursery teacher and seems to have spent about two thirds of the last twenty years or so with a cold of some description.

    Yeah my missus has been full time primary teacher since September and I was expecting colds every month. Was going fine until December hit and I think she’s had a cold of some sort ever since.

    It probably doesn’t help that the bastard schools make you keep the windows open all year round. All the kids studying in their jackets with scarfs on

    I've mostly done ok to be fair. We had a brutal cold back in November, and another one hot on its tail, but fine ever since. There's a good few of the mums at the schoolgates that do seem to have been ill for months now though.
