When will this shit end?

[fred quimby]

Out on a walk the other day with the dog and meet 2 people from the village.

 

One said they would not take the vaccine as "It's the authorities that want us to have it and why should I as I don't trust them" Didn't believe in masks either

The other person we had a long chat about different things and she came up with lots of stuff that took me aback.

She knows someone in a hospital that has told her it is all blown out of proportion and it is not as bad as the MSM say 

 she would not take the vaccine as she feels that if you look after yourself you should be fine and not get the virus. Then she came out with - you do not know what is in it, I have searched everywhere and you can never see what it is made up of..  So I did a quick google search and there were the ingredients, so not sure where she was looking or if I got the gist of what she was saying perhaps, as she keep on about embryos being in them (Cells are used to develop Vaccines I have seen since)

 

Always good to hear others points of view I guess

Figures for today:

[balti-pie]

i had my Pfizer first dose yesterday (i work for the NHS, in psychiatry) and it was quick, easy, and smooth as you like. We even got biscuits afterwards! got a text confirming my second dose appointment as i was in the recovery zone bit afterwards, which was beautifully organised. Arm is a bit sore today, but otherwise no problems at all: 9/10 would recommend!

Worrying that the cases are not dropping fast enough. I am not sure what the right answer is in terms of harsher restrictions, but something needs to happen before we start next week. 
 

Positive news on the vaccine rollout.

My mum has just told me the supermarket down the road are selling Oxford/AZ vaccines for £2 each, or 3 for a Pfizer

“The clown” doesn’t really help identify who is leading it! Could be any one of this government

They’ll soon return to type with vaccines being allocated to those with the money and right social background first.

So more than one idiot in your village then. Do they do it as a job share or something?

8% positivity, we’d like to see that drop but it’s not as scary as a few weeks back.

 

Feels like things are improving.

Vaccination update:

Am I being too pedantic to suggest that the most important figure here is the second dose? For instance, we could have given 20m people their first jab but until the second one is administered, the risks are still reasonably high, right?

I don’t think that’s too pedantic but I think the first is more important as it gives more people some level of protection against the virus.

Positivity looks to have turned a corner.....at least for England.

Ok but from a "let's get things moving towards normality" perspective, it's dose two that's the kicker?

It's all positive news though, I'm just trying not to get too carried away at this stage.

Yeah that's about it- I think the idea of normality is something we all need to put on the backburner for a bit, it's purely about saving lives for now
