Why don't we care about variants to other viruses?

Isnt it usually busier in the winter months?
Yeah it's usually busier, it's why you get major incidents, social workers scrambling to get old folks out if hospital and home with care packages etc... It's always sailing close to the wind though. It's designed to.
-
The NHS is always busy, it isn't designed to have loads of surplus capacity nor should it.

Isn’t the main issue that flu vaccines are only about 50% effective against serious illness whereas the covid vaccines are absolutely slut-shaming the virus into insignificance?
I wonder if Pfizer scientists and the like could be redeployed into finding better flu vaccines.
That's because the flu is natural... And this one was made in China..... 🤨

When I booked my wife's 2nd jab last week it wouldn't let me choose anything other than 12 weeks. Think I might give it a go
Mine was done via my GP they text me before the national stuff (and it's a 10 minute walk to the jab centre rather than a 30 minute drive to either of the nearest national ones) suspect that might change things.

40 year + is now officially 8 weeks although it's not been announced. Just 50+ my second is June 24th which is exactly 8 weeks
Last week when I had my jab (35) I was told my second jab will be in 8 to 10 weeks with the aim to be closer to 8 than 10.

There is going to be some interesting geography papers that come out about Covid - there simply has to be something that explains why some areas are harder hit than others - if you can understand it you can model it.

Observe case rates by age group. Oddly, 40-59 going up sharply - should have had 2 jabs by now? I suppose problem is that vaccines have a %age margin of efficacy, therefore even a few % can be measured in 1000's.
Vaccine doesn't stop you testing positive.

I know! haha thats why is bonkers. I think when its a larger area it tries to force you to certain centres, maybe less busy ones. I cant fathom any other reason.
I suspect the answer is NHS Digital....

Also, but your full postcode.. that helps. If I put just the first part in I get a limited selection... if you put the full post code in you get more. They also open and close vaccination centres on certain days which has an effect on slots.That's crackers. The first part of the postcode is the larger area!

Also...I'm not playing down the damage lockdown has done to kids, just saying with mine, and I expect with many others, being out of school has actually been a positive.
Undoubtedly, on the flip side it's been really good to have the boy at home, we have watched some serious tv and films in terms of amount and content!

anecdotal...but my kid who is in year 11 has done ok in lockdown, but since being back at school started to regress to bad anxiety shit again. Thankfully she has now managed to finish all her GCSE assessments, it was touch and go for a while as she was refusing to go in...but we managed to get her back into school and she finished them all in the end. This weekend, with GCSE assessment pressure gone, she has resorted to pain in the arse teenager twat behaviour.
The media coverage can't help kids who are anxious about going back to school anyway. I think lots of kids, like adults have just got used to being stuck at home.

Just out of interest how much are people currently getting hit by year groups and classes isolating ? prevalence of the virus is very low here and ive not heard about it for ages involving local schools .... I imagine its more of a northern thing where cases are high ? how many weeks school have peoples kids missed since returning after last lockdown ?
Zero closures in my lads bubble at all. But that's primary school - given we were top of the shit list for a while I'm surprised it's happened.
Thing I'm finding hardest is motivating him to get out the house evenings and weekends. He had more time using electronic devices than ever during lockdown because we were both working full time jobs at home, he was doing online learning and rightly or wrongly he spent more time on computers and things after lessons than he normally would have done. All of his mates are the same aswell it seems.

some of those things aren't current ? they have built up over the whole pandemic period ..... cant disagree some of those things are ongoing and will hopefully end soon
When you boil water in a pan it doesn't boil over straight away.
Dont forget, we're approaching exam season - which your told will make or break the rest of your life.
2 of the best years of their lives have been stolen from them. Me and my mates still talk about stupid shit that happened while we were in sixth form some youngsters have missed that whole two years of 'normal'
The easing of rules has brought home to me how much I've missed out on and I'm not going anymore. I've had my fun, imagine what it feels like if your younger.

Whereabouts do you live? Perhaps it’s because everyone has flocked to the beach etc?
Honestly Weymouth yesterday was as busy as I’ve ever seen it. It felt like any normal weekend day pre covid.
As @stuartbert two hats says though perhaps a delay from our current place in the roadmap won’t be seen with a wave of negativity? After all most of us (to the unfortunate detriment of some business sectors) can do what we want to do as things currently stand.
Of course large scale events is something which would be great to have and much needed but I can certainly see an argument whereby delaying the roadmap wouldn’t bother lots of people.
The businesses themselves will not have been as busy though as they are not allowed to be busy.

By the hospitals filling up. As you say, everything feels back to normal already, is there really a big clamour for any specific freedoms in the last stage?
It feels far from normal to me. Reduced capacity everywhere, no standing at the bar. Scanning into pubs, table service, one way systems. Smaller crowds at the football. Nobody talking about their summer holidays.
places are much quieter than a normal bank holiday.

Surprised the over 65s are in the shouldn't. TBF they are probably least likely to benefit from a full reopening but given they've all had two jabs it would seem a lot of fear still lingers.
Are masks optional in that age group now? Seems like it round here.

Milk, cookies, kiss from mum and a good night sleep for you. Don't worry mate - you will survive 😀
I prefer custard creams if you have them.

I was the same with Pfizer - no 'bad' side effects, just relentlessly tired, having really heavy sleeps, and felt a bit low. Lasted about six days overall.
Relentlessly tired is a good way of putting it - I feel like when you first get into bed on the Monday after Glastonbury!

Some of the adverse reactions to the vaccine reported would be quite comical if it wasn't such a serious subject matter. I definitely had a hangover after I was jabbed but I'm pretty sure that was to do with the 10 pints of lager rather than the vaccine.
Crying
Hangover
Pregnant women being pregnant
Having anal sex
Enlarged clitoris/scrotum
Retirement
Homosexual parent
Illiteracy
Smokers smokingThe list goes on.

I've begrudgingly had my jab now... Pfizer. For me none of the arm pain, but I've been knackered since Wednesday evening (I had it Wednesday lunch time) been sleeping between 10 and 12 hours a night and could happily sleep in the day too.
Add to that that my legs and forearms have ached since Thursday morning.
Currently watching the football and struggling to stay awake.

Is it possible the threshold for admission is lower at the moment too meaning people getting admitted are less ill and the stay is shorter.

One thing is quite clear, you don't have to be intelligent (or bright) to be a politician. There are also not many high profile and important jobs where you don't even have to be qualified!
The same goes for many walks of life. Plenty of people rise on the coat tails of others and are protected by that very same coat.
When will this shit end?
