She's a lot better now, thanks, though still has a persistent cough!
Are you a frontline worker too ?
Yeah which I am happy about, I have kept working throughout the pandemic it's good to keep busy.
I have done as much over time as I can over the past year just to keep a good routine going, on leave at the moment which I was dreading though managed to find some things that needed doing to occupy my time, been training and walking every day. I have my own Gym room its been a blessing with regards to maintaining good mental and physical health and a positive attitude.
Have you had your first dose or I am guessing it will be very soon?
Havent had it yet. We've been told soon!
We reopened Day Services on a much smaller scale back in September. So far we have not had any cases!
Thank you, guys!
hear hear!
Just had my first dose it was quite a surreal experience, thankfully there were a few people I know having a jab at the same time.
I'd be very happy to join you, but at the rate things are going over here I might not get mine before my pensioning age.
How long did they say the vaccine will last for ?
Did they give you any other info about it ?
That does not sound good, where in the world are you if I you don't mind me asking.
I did my own research prior to the jab, and got most of the same info on the day. At this point the first jab just offers extra protection though I can still get Covid to a lesser degree the second jab which is a booster will give me a very high percentage of immunity. Its unclear if the jab will have to be taken again a year down the line at this point. I will still be tested weekly for the foreseeable future, after the second dose that would probably change I would think.
Isreal are slightly ahead in there vaccine program, I have been keeping a close eye on data coming from them...

In that story it says: Teenagers aged 16-18 are now being given the first dose of the vaccine, starting on Saturday ...
You would think people with health problems would get it next instead of them ?

I had a bit of pain on shoulder which has pretty much gone after 24 hours, I did feel a bit drowsy yesterday though did not get much sleep the night before the first jab so it was probably down to that. I had the Pfizer Vaccine.

"The risks versus the benefits of the vaccination need to be considered,"
Norway reported some deaths among very old recipients of the vaccine last week.
The vaccine was designed to reduce the negative health impacts of COVID-19, but Dr Murphy warned that it was not clear yet whether the vaccine would reduce transmission rates.
"We don't yet know how effective they are at preventing the transmission of the virus," he said, though noted it "stands to reason" that vaccines will also reduce the spread.
30 or 4o people died. The health authorities said it was as expected, since they were old and frail. Yet you don t hear them use that argument in relation to the virus.
yes, really. They didn't even bother to ask or come up with a backup plan.
That does sound very unprepared by your government, I am conscious of much wider implications of not taking the vaccine potentially in the future. Travel being one of the things that could have restriction if not vaccinated ( this has been discussed often in our media), it must be very frustrating for you and family.

In a similar vein, early in the pandemic a family playing catch at a park in this area of the country was harassed by a cop for not social distancing. The father was arrested after he protested they were a family that lived together.

The FDA will meet Feb. 26 to discuss what Johnson & Johnson says is a 66% effective, single-dose vaccine for preventing COVID-19.

Everyone just needs to hang tight for a few more months (it's winter, folks!), and think about how the summer can be better with people and activities outside, etc. IF everyone takes precautions now.
It feels very much like the comment one of my collegue-consultants once made. We were at a company training day and he said to me: 'It's odd, really. Our profession seems to be mostly just using common sense'
And after a pause:
"It's amazing that common sense is actually not that common".
I fully agree, @echo. We'll have a vaccine in our system faster than ever before in the history of mankind. We're not asked for another 5 years--rather, we're asked for another 5 months or so. If we can't even achieve that, for the sake of public health, wow, then we really are at our most barbaric ever.
