Clears in three days 

[Colin Bishop]

Mrs B and I had hardly any effect at all, just a slight tenderness for a day or so.  I believe it can depend on where the needle goes in, especially if it hits a nerve or blood vessel.

Still you might consider yourself lucky - this morning I had my 16th injection for an eye problem. The needle goes directly into the eyeball....

...you could blame it on co-vid and say no accounting for taste these days!

Is there a Lamb-a-da variant?

They are working on a Lambda version which sensors detect anti-vaxxers

Plan B from Monday   

BBC:  https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/59575030


 Summary

    Boris Johnson has announced tougher Covid-19 measures in England to control the spread of the Omicron variant

    Guidance to work from home will return on Monday and face masks will also have to be worn in more public venues

    Covid passes proving vaccination or a negative test will be required at nightclubs and venues with large crowds

    The Plan B restrictions are "proportionate and responsible", the PM says

    Health Secretary Sajid Javid meanwhile tells the Commons that Omicron is much more transmissible than the Delta variant

When it comes down to it you can only catch it from somebody else. so stay away from somebody else!

Last Tuesday week, recieved my 3rd [Pfizer] 3ml booster without issue , [the Doctor suggested I would be back in 12 months for the annual Covid booster]

However in this mornings news, it is reported that Israel is proposing a 4th booster ASAP for all   

Unfortunately it appears that our Australian Politicians now are more qualified [to make health recommendations], than the Federal and State Medical professionals

[NSW had 3057 new cases on Monday, then another 3763 new cases on Tuesday]

Derek, politicians know better than almost anyone, on any subject, it’s part of their training. They learn about everything at the same time they learn to speak for 30 minutes without actually saying anything.


Regarding vaccinations, I believe it will now be a regular occurrence for us to have booster shots at appropriate intervals, just like we do for the flu. However frequently it’s recommended for us to have a booster, I’ll be there, sleeve rolled up and ready to go. We’ve had our 3rd shot too, on Thursday last week, without any ill effects, with the case numbers rising it makes me feel a little safer, but I still wear a mask when shopping, and hand sterilise constantly.

Peter....we have a family friend [of my youngest daughter] now living in London with her young family......I shudder to read the stats for UK


Makes our NSW 3057 new reported Covid cases on Monday they 20th look like a near non event


Speaking of our Federal Government........they have again [today] just ruled on matters , that our Health Professionals advised against


I do hope some of the population remembers this when in Election mode in 2022

just heard of a friend whose sister was in hospital with a potentially fatal illness, sister has now also caught covid and the family have been called in, so this will probably go on the figures as a death due to covid whereas it was a death where covid was present, still it probably doesnt matter to politicians who hold business meetings while supping wine in their back gardens.

Please suggest that to the Beeb! (Other forms of media are available )

I had my booster on Saturday morning at a walk in centre thinking that I’d be waiting for an hour but was number 20 in the queue and was out within 10minutes! Even sorted out my Covid passport which wasn’t showing the second dose. Well chuffed.
