God I hate her so much. Really want someone to tell her to shut the fuck up. Cow. 

When you’re resorting to calling some random scientist on Twitter mean names then you have to consider you’re the one with a problem. 

Seriously, it’s unpleasant and unnecessary. If she annoys you so much JUST IGNORE HER FFS.

Thank you! I was horrific after the first dose in all honesty, different symptoms every hour pretty much 😂 but anecdotally people who had it badly on their first don't on their second so I'll hope not 🙂

I had the same bad feeling sick from first and second jabs. Sorry to spoil your hopes.

I'll be mass socialising from 14th July when I finally get my freedom back after five months in hospital.41 days to go!

yeah, it's kind of weirdly personal....and whiffs of misogyny a bit.

I had AZ and the first dose was pretty horrible. As a result I was not feeling great about having the second dose. The medic who gave me my second jab asked me about my experience of the first and said the second was normally much better. 
 

He was right. Absolutely nothing of any note. I took paracetamol before the second jab and for the remainder of the day. It was, thankfully, a walk in the park and I hope it is for you too.

50% of UK adults have now had their 2nd dose!

Vaccination update:

Do you still have the old data? I'm wondering what percentage the first doses were up to on the 21st of March when second doses kicked in. We'll be in a position to ramp up the first doses at that point should we wish.

 

Edit: meaning when second doses reach that point.

We’d have to be in a really dire position to close restaurants and pubs again. I can’t imagine a situation where that happens - I think the govt would dig their heels in and the public would probably agree

From what I've heard, unless it all goes absolutely tits up and out of control nationally, it'll be dealt with on a local basis. Not the old Tier system but local Health Authorities will be making the decisions, with surge testing and vaccination continuing to be the norm with support, practical and financial, from central government where needed. So any closing of pubs/restaurants etc is going to be down to local directors of Public Health and local authorities working with regional Contain teams. 

The impact of decisions like that might be diluted as only impacting certain parts of the country.

Central govt will retain ownership of national restrictions (more specifically in relation to this forum) mass gatherings etc.

That is, however, unless we really lose grip on the spread and a central decision is to impose national measures and we won't be in a good place if that happens.

Yeah I do, I've included the few days after to give a broader picture.

Cheers - so it looks like we'll catch up in a couple of weeks. Be interesting to see what they decide to do. We may not see a difference, since they've been bringing some of the second doses forward.

But we could see a surge in first doses to get all the young adults over the line.

no, the answer is when your government makes you believe that all is back to (the new) normal (even if the pandemic is still going on).

If we don't pretty much close the borders, make people quarantine with no exceptions, it'll be years. We can open up 21st June but will have to roll back whatever is relaxed within a month because we've found a new strain that "might" get past the vaccine. 

The more I think about it, this talk of "opening" is temporary whatever date we choose - what we got mid May is about as far as we'll get in 2021 at the very least, perhaps even longer

Yep unfortunately I do … just hope vaccine production and distribution can get to a stage that we can mass jab countries just like that … mission impossible maybe

Speaking to the Financial Times, Innova CEO Dan Elliott revealed that he expects demand for lateral flow tests in general to be high for the next three to four years; one of the main contributors to that will be emerging variants. 25/5/21

This thread is a mutation/variant of the original 'Coronavirus :should we be worried?' and 'Will Coronavirus cause the cancellation of Glastonbury?' threads.

This thread is the Gamma variant.
