Covid - news and views

The Lady is an expert Doc so I reckon it is what she says. The tiredness will be an issue for sure long covid & then some. I like the name-omicron it suggests small👍🏻

When you see the antics of the two who left quarantine to board a plane to Spain whilst positive, there is no way the variant will not spread.

There must be a rush for boosters, I checked for our daughter, the on line queue to book was over 1000 and the nearest venues were 30-50 miles away. Local places didn't have boosters available.

I see the boss of Moderna has cast doubt on the efficacy of vaccines on the Omicron variant. He should know or at least know someone who does.Let's hope that the range of vaccines still provide an effective barrier to serious illness et.

News conference at 1600hrs today. It looks like we will be told not to socialise over Christmas with those we do not particularly need to?

Only X millions to do before the end of January.  Just been offered shifts starting in a couple of weeks. 12 hrs on, 12 hrs off, 12 hrs on, X hrs off, 6 hrs on, and repeat.  What fun .

You can do it, LLM, we have every faith in you and the other volunteers. 👍

Isn't it strange the high number of under 40's (approximately) that are apparently exempt from wearing face masks in shopping centres as seen yesterday. I would have expected it to be some of the older generation who may be exempt.

Indeed. The 'best' was seeing a bloke with his yellow sunflower lanyard round his neck and fag in hand .... 🤐 But most of the masks I saw yesterday were worn around chins or just over the mouth .... as much as I'd prefer not to wear a mask, I do try to play by the rules for the hour it takes to go round the supermarket.
