But your bollocks were magnetic, right? (I'm curious - did they repel each other or attract? And if they repelled, could you get your pants on OK? Asking for a friend)

Not magnetic no, but thinking about it, there was a strange pulsing sensation which I realised was my bollocks communicating with me by morse code telling me to have a wank.

Had my booster this morning, it was meant to be Moderna but when I told them I had clots previously they changed it to Pfizer. Most likely because my original two jabs were Pfizer and i had no major issues with it.

They've put a big covid testing tent up on the Bill Shankly playing fields. This is far from over.

Didn't you have covid? Surprised to hear you still need a booster shot.

We know now that you can catch Covid multiple times. If you were him, surely you’d take the booster if the Covid fucked you up pretty badly first time around. 

 

Pretty sure Elite works with vulnerable people too.

I didn't know you need three shots after you've had it, I thought it was covid plus one.

I doubt there’s even a proper joined up policy. Pretty sure I qualify for the booster on two grounds but I’ve heard nothing. 
 

I don’t know Elite’s exact circumstances but I know that I’d rather take the vaccines if they were offered, than end up in a hospital bed with blood clots and pneumonia.

I was not critical of him, I didn't know you needed booster shots if you had covid and were fully vaccinated.

I know that. I didn’t mean it to sound like you were.

1207 cases per 100,000 people where I live at the moment.

I got a text from the NHS offering me the booster due to previous complications due to Covid. I work with vulnerable adults/children, so qualify through that as well.

Got my booster tomorrow. Favourite urse not working tomorrow though, shame that.

What now, gonna throw yourself down the stairs on sunday because you know she's back in monday? It's that level of dedication that pays off in the end. 3 Stacks could learn a thing or two from you.

I think it was just cocktail hour. 

[magicrat]

Had the booster Monday.  That's three Pfizers and a Seasonal Flu. I'm a fucking dartboard to these people.

Is the flu shot worth it right now? There's still indoor mask mandates where I live, which are mega effective against the flu with how it's transmitted by droplets. Doubt there will be much of it going around.

There's no mask mandates in the UK anywhere as far as I know. Some people do still wear them. I think they're requested (perhaps mandatory ) on the London underground. It doesn't seem to be on national rail or merseyrail though. And pubs, theatres etc, definitely not.

I said months ago that the vaccine would be normalization and indifference. That is pretty much where we are - the public have accepted certain death rates. Think I posted anything under 1000 a day in the US and 200 a day in the UK will gladly be accepted by the gubmints, and I think they will knowingly fudge any numbers needed to keep it in that zone.

 

People have stopped listening.

7 day average in US = 1073

7 day average in UK = 170

A bit of anti-vaxxer violence has started to appear in court. In one case a father hit his son because he was told he wouldn’t be allowed direct contact with his little grandson while there was a risk. In second case the anti-vaccine hubby showed his belief in freedom of choice by lamping his wife after he found out she’d snuck out and had her vaccine shots.

If I am not mistaken, these are about the numbers of a bad flu season. When nobody used to care too much and with limited media coverage.
