you make a good point about the plague,but there was an unexpected consequence from it and that was that it effectivly ended the subjugation of the population by those who had money and power. Namely the Long lived Feudal / serf system.

Of course, in those days they didn't understand the principle of serf isolation...

My wife was talking to a neighbour last night whose daughter is a nurse at our local hospital. She said that they are at full stretch dealing with Covid cases who in most cases, surprise, surprise, haven't been vaccinated.

This is when hospitals should be tackling the backlog of operations etc. that have built up. Selfish is the one word that I can post followed by others that I can't.

My grandaughter tells me that a post spreading on a social networks recommends there is no need to have the jab until you have become infected, when having the jab will give you an instant cure.
No need for science or facts.

Had the same thing a while back, cough lasted for weeks - not Covid though as I've had it before. It's quite common at the moment apparently.

Window cleaner was round earlier this week, he thought he might consider getting the jab sometime next year... We had a painter/plasterer in to do some work a few months back and his attitude was much the same. He said he didn't follow the news anyway.

Had my booster yesterday

Tug Fanatic · « **Reply #635 on:** November 30, 2021, 09:22:44 am »

The next few weeks should be "interesting"

A few weeks I came up to my 6 months for a booster and went online. There were no appointments available within 50 miles in less than 3 weeks. I went to a walk in clinic and waited in line for a couple of hours.

Since then we have a new panic situation and they have suddenly opened up booster jabs to millions more people. I wouldn't like to be trying to book a jab at the moment and I suspect that the "walk in" queues will be awful.

How reassuring that having opened the flood gates I see in one of this mornings papers that they are hoping the volunteers will return. Does this really mean that they have opened the flood gates without putting the necessary structure in place first?

Lets hope that the current vaccines are effective.

My grandaughter is a volunteer and they just get a phone call or text with options on venues.

I got a text from the nhs alerting me to the fact that the local clinic was taking walk ins, walked in, waited behind 1 person at the door and straight through, 20 minutes later i walked out, i had missed the clinic set up by my GP, as they gave less than 24 hours notice and I was 200 miles away from home with no hope of getting back in time.

The couple of hours that I spent at the "walk in" centre was interesting.

I joined a queue which didn't appear very long and after 15 minutes or so I got to the front and was told where to go. This turned out to be a seating area where people were being called in a very well organised way. That took another 20 minutes or so. When called out of there I found that I had joined another queue! This one took around 20 minutes and got me to the escalator. Guess what - at the top there was a sign in desk. Having signed in I (yes you guessed it) joined a queue waiting to be allocated a seat in a seating area from which I was called to be vaccinated.

To be fair to the volunteers it was very well organised but truly unbelievable in its complexity.

It's quite interesting to note the numbers at any point in the system. I had an appointment today but I'd forgotten the time so I went onto 119 at about 9pm last night to check. I accidentally punched the wrong button and I was 539th in the queue with a projected waiting time of up to 5 minutes for a new test. I then punched the right button, i.e. the one to amend/check an appointment and this put me at number 231 in the queue. This put me through in under 2 minutes. In other words, the system was processing more than 13,000 per hour from a single, local call centre. It's almost certain to be 24hr operation so 300,000 plus per day. Seems OK to me

Just thinking another 2 weeks and it'll be over a year since my first jab how time flies

12 months this week since I was in intensive care with it, how time flies....

Strange, is it not, that the WHO settled on Omicron for this variant when, from what little I remember of Common Entrance Greek 65 years ago, the next letter in the sequence is Xi.
Omicron, incidentally, is pronounced oh-my-cron.

Not Oh-MAC=RON then?

maybe they they didn't want to upset President Xi

kinmel · « **Reply #647 on:** December 02, 2021, 09:30:18 pm »

They deliberately left out "Nu" to avoid confusion with "new" since there are regular new variants and as you say no-one wants to upset President Xi
