I hate roads, I hate maps, I hate cohorts, I hate variants, I feel like “variants” is the new naughty step.

“If you’re bold and you step out of line, you get no treats and we’ll find a new variant“

jesus life is exhausting, it must be nearly Christmas by now.

The fact that we are on thread #86 is blowing my tiny little mind

Weekly Covid deaths in England and Wales fall for third week in a row

Britain's daily coronavirus cases and deaths have fallen once again today, with another 6,391 infections and 343 fatalities added to the official tally.

Whilst it's great to read the death rate might be below average by Easter, the amount of deaths we've had in the past 12 months will have played a part in that.

Graphs show EU will take 6 months to jab 30% of adults while UK will do 96%

THE European Union’s vaccine fiasco is laid bare in alarming graphs that show it will take another six months to jab just 30 per cent of the adult population. At the same time, the UK will ha…

Europe is in a total mess. People are going to feel iffy going on holiday there even if they have been jabbed.

Same with Canada... general population not expected to be fully vaccinated until 2022.

World Rugby are wanting to postpone this year's World Cup in New Zealand until next year because of Covid uncertainty.

You know when you comment on the conspiracy threads and then you think why did I even bother

I had some nutter telling me nhs have never worn surgical masks for long periods of time before covid

I was a bloody scrub nurse for 8 years

Tell them to walk into an ortho theatre doing a hip pre-Covid and see if they get out without being squealed at

The thing is with a CT it doesn’t matter if they’re confronted with professionals in the field they’re babbling nonsense about. That confirmation bias will kick in every single time.

 

[bare123]

What I don’t understand about variants, e.g Brazilian one is that they are saying the vaccines might not work against them, it doesn’t make sense to me because in Brazil they are being vaccinated, the most used one being the Astra-Zeneca so how can it not work against it here?

My brother had covid just after christmas. (Extremely mild symptoms, but got tested as he had worked with someone who tested positive)
He a signed up to donate his blood plasma a few weeks ago and was sent a kit in the post to make sure he had enough anti-bodies.
Got the result back today....his blood contained no anti-bodies

I had a colleague who ended up in iccu with covid and her antibody test came back negative too

It can happen with mild cases of a virus. I have a friend who has had chicken pox twice, both times very mild but isn't immune.

I've been vaccinated against hepB but am still non immune.

Hmmm, I never said that though did I? I hope you read patients notes better than you do posts.

Conspiracy Theories #7

Where did I say we don't follow ANY guidelines? Our children are not in any bubble, you will be surprised how many people think the same as us, they just don't shout it from the rooftop because they get shut down by the more vocal minority Isn't wearing a mask a guideline ? you said you...
