Re: Covid restrictions - are you adhering or not?
Confirmed today that I’ll be getting my vaccine in the two week period from next Monday.
No idea which vaccine yet (don’t care) but whichever it is, I’ll get the corresponding follow-up.

If they tested her soon after the vaccination, that could well make her test positive. Hopefully she will be ok.Gedge wrote: ↑Tue Jan 12, 2021 6:45 amOur test results are back and both negative which is a relief ..We will still have to isolate because of the contact but at least for now we can feel a bit relieved ..Gedge wrote: ↑Mon Jan 11, 2021 11:44 am My MiL ( 92) has been shielded / isolated since before March lockdown ..just before Xmas she fell and broke her arm and was hospitalised for 10 days .. despite repeated requests they refused to vaccinate her eventhough out patient so over 70 were.. while in a ward the patient next door tested positive but MiL wasn’t tested until just before she was moved to a care home.. A week in she has to go to fracture clinic but NHS refuse to transport as does the care home, so wife and I have to collect her and wife waits with her to be seen by a consultant that didn’t even bother with a mask .... we take her back to care home where she is vaccinated and tested ..this morning test results are back and she is positive ..so now we have to isolate and have both been and had walk in tests ...great start to the year ..

Re: Covid restrictions - are you adhering or not?
Following on from my earlier post.....
Granny (Trish) is doing OK.
Her son, tested negative.
My mate (her grandson that she raised) and his client (the guy he looks after) both tested negative.
Mates wife, who probably had more contact with granny than anyone else has also tested negative, twice.
I've sent my test off this morning. I feel fine and am very confident that it will be negative.
I'll be following the NHS track and trace guidelines which are to self isolate until Sunday.

Re: Covid restrictions - are you adhering or not?
Yes things have certainly ramped up.
Till Dec the only people I knew (or even knew about) who had it were my neighbours about 5 doors down.
Now
My workmate has it as has his wife/daughter - seems to be recovering fine
Another workmate in another team - as above
Another workmates sister and family - the sister is very ill
My mate has about 2 dozen contacts who have or had it including sons MIL who is in hospital
My Mums old school friend died of it Xmas day
My Mrs mate's husband had it
So all anecdotal but from pretty much nothing to feeling much closer to home. Feels like we are in a much worse place than last March

Re: Covid restrictions - are you adhering or not?
I'd agree with that. As well as two close friends who were hospitalised, I know a whole family (and I do mean the whole, extended family as they all decided that 'stay at home' meant 'stay at home but feel free to visit other family members'), work colleagues (one who, despite displaying symptoms decided he preferred working in the office so came in anyway) and friends of my daughter who, being teenagers, are immortal.
On the plus side, I hear Brian Blessed has had the vaccine!

Re: Covid restrictions - are you adhering or not?
Brother reported as "stable" in hospital, which I assume means no better and no worse. Sister in law tested positive and is currently feeling shit.Cousin Jack wrote: ↑Mon Jan 11, 2021 3:09 pm Just learned that my brother was carted off to hospital by ambulance last night with Covid. Currently stable, no other information.
Has been ill for 9 days, GP told him to go to bed it was 'just a virus'. He was twice refused a Covid test because he didn't have the classic cough and altered smell/taste symptoms.
What he did have was aches and pain, particularly in his back, a temperature and bouts of feeling cold and shivering/feeling hot and sweating. Just like flu.

Re: Covid restrictions - are you adhering or not?
Best wishes, CJ.
My latest test: had last night at 6pm, results back 9am today: negative.
I’m now doing two 12 hour shifts next week to help vaccinate our lot- not injecting, but helping with the paperwork. All helps.

It's not all doom and gloom, the death to infections ratio is significantly lower than it was during the first wave. To put that into perspective, at current levels if the ratio were the same then the UK would be seeing roughly 10x the number of daily deaths compared to the first wave.

I don't know what the problem is, the rules are crystal clear. The Home Secretary says so:

To paraphrase your post: look on the bright side, it's not nearly as shit as it might have been.

Re: Covid restrictions - are you adhering or not?
Reading about all this 'volunteer army' being assembled to help out with the vaccinations. Is this just the usual 'It was The Sun wot won it?' bollocks is or there a practical role for gormless fuckwits like me to play in vaccination resistance movement?
I'd stick my hand up for it if I thought it would actually be something I could make a contribution to.
