Covid restrictions - are you adhering or not?

Mrs irie has volunteered and been accepted to vaccinate gormless fuckwits like you.

By chance she was working in full PPE at a "secure*" hospital yesterday and was offered and given a jab (AZ). She had a thumping headache all night and very sore joints all over her body. But far better than getting the lurgy, of course.

* The sort of place where nasty people who can't be allowed back into the community are kept.

Mrs W got her second Pfizer jab on Sunday. Headaches and felt shitty Monday and Tuesday but felt a bit better yesterday.

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.

Interesting that that sort of place is a priority. They cant get out and mingle...

But equally you might not want them to have to be taken to a hospital open to the public.

So it’s confirmed we will be using the AZ vaccine.

Also, our pharmacists are going spare. 12k pharmacies up and down the country and they thought they were being lined up to help vaccinate. 200 so far ..so frustrating.

Bit late ah.. I thought it was mandatory to wear masks in supermarkets for ages.

I don't know what conditions folks can't wear mask. Must be a "head one".. Asthma sufferers are ok, as long as the mask ain't too air tight.

That's the bit I don't understand. As an asthmatic, I wear a mask for that very reason, as does my Step Father who has COPD. If you have a comorbidity such as these, you'd think it'd be reason to wear a mask, not used it as an excuse to avoid wearing one? Shop online if you refuse to wear one, or get someone else to shop for you.

I thought the idea of wearing a mask was to protect other people from your projected viruses rather than to protect you. I don't think a flimsey bit of cloth that doesn't even seal around your face is going to potect you from something as small as an airborne droplet full of the little buggers.

Surely a 'flimsy' bit of cloth is better than nothing - especially if everyone else is wearing the same?!

That is the keyword, "everyone". If we all wear one we are all protected, if I wear one ad you don't only you are protected.

[Wreckless Rat]

Take a mask... and spray it once from 12" away with a fine mist sprayer... you'll see it pretty much stays on the outside.

Perfect, no, but if that one droplet containing a bubble of COVID gets stopped, it could be the difference between ending up face down in ITU or not.

IMHO anyway.

I doubt they are 100 % effective, but since just about every health body worldwide is promoting them as useful, then I'll roll with it. Memes like this point to the gist of it.

It has always been a 1 or 2 metre rule because droplets drop, but there was some "expert" on tv the other day who said, think of it like cigarette or vape smoke in a room. Well that makes it quite a bit different than I'd always been led to understand.

[JamJar]

As far as I understood it Covid 19 is not airborne but rather droplet transmission which is why barriers to the droplets are advised.

I get it. Identical twins pose more of a risk to each other, right?

You've been to Tilbury?

[gremlin]

I'll see your Tilbury and raise you a Sheppy.....

I also noticed the other day when it was fecking freezing i had pulled a snood up as a face covering to go into local post office to send a parcel. When i came out i could see my warm breath coming through the snood so pretty much fucking useless as a barrier apart from conforming to the requirement to cover mouth and nose.

Wont bother using that anymore and will use proper masks but how many others are using these ineffective "facemask/coverings" with no idea how pointless they were

If you sneeze it might slow it done, but I usually pull mine down to sneeze. Don't want any mess.
