Coronavirus: Please use this thread for all COVID19 talk!

Might be a bit longer now, EU playing silly buggers saying they will block jab exports to the uk......obviously will impact our rollout

 

They won’t, it’s just hollow posturing. The only impact to the rollout here will be fluctuations in the pace of manufacture.

The EU’s institutions are often remarkably good at making themselves look bad, however. Maybe we’re better off out of it after all. Shall we ask Greece?

 

Wrong thread.

 

Papers are reporting that because of this delivery issue is that it will delay the under 50s by 4 weeks.
And Matt Hancock swerved the question of this issue of when asked and when would the under 50s would start.
No answer, just said all adults by the end of July.

 

Seems nothing to do with the EU messing about - it is the supplies from India.

 

Yeah, don’t think the EU have done anything to cause the current delays, apart from issuing threats.

It was reported weeks ago that production rates would fluctuate due to the nature of the product

 

I`m in the Novavax trial programme - it continues now with a `crossover` arrangement, so if I got the vaccine back in October, then I`ll get a placebo on 31st March and 20 April, or vice versa if I was given the placebo originally. Efficacy seems very good so far, so another step in the right direction!

 

I've had a bit of good news this morning. It's just over three weeks since I had a AZ vaccine and my doctor said it might help with the long Covid symptoms, but not to expect any drastic improvement. She said I might see a slight up turn in things in 3 weeks and a very slow but steady improvement over a period of a few months. She said there have been quite a few cases where the vaccine has lessened the effects of long Covid but they don't know if it is temporary or a permanent improvement.

Anyway, I got called in to the surgery to do a series of peak flow meter tests this morning and my lung capacity has improved by about 8%, which is quite significant. I have been feeling a bit brighter over the last few days and noticed that I had a bit more energy when I did some weeding at my allotment these past few days. Hopefully things will continue to improve and they discover some form of reliable treatment for long Covid. I really do take my hat off to my doctor, and all the medics, because she is working flat out with the vaccine programme and still finds time to call me in to monitor my health. Not to deal with an urgent issue, just on-going care. These really are truly wonderful people.

 

That’s great to hear mate, so glad you’re on the mend at last.

 

That's good Kaits I'm sure your positive attitude helps your recvery.

 

My advice is, keep going to that allotment if you can mate, even if you don’t feel like doing much when you get there

I’m counting on mine to keep me young; having an allotment won’t stop me turning 60 in May, but it might stop me feeling 80. Seems to be working so far, I feel about 70 this morning

 

Getting my jab tomorrow - I am 50
Just a little concerned that the admin is a bit doubled up - got an invite from GP then a couple of days later got a text from the NHS, just ignored the NHS one has by then I had already made my appointment.

 

Thanks Archers. I love it at the allotment and have been able to get there during the various lockdowns. It's just great to have something to do and people to chat to. They are a good bunch at our site. I think it has a very beneficial effect on my physical and mental balance and I wouldn't be without it. There's also a really good fish n chip shop just down the road and a fish n chip lunch at the allotment takes some beating.

 

Good news Kaito.

 

Same thing happy to me mate, I got a txt from a UCH clinic, then the next day one from my GP’s surgery. Just booked the first one, all went smoothly.

 

Same happened to me.

I'm going in 10 mins....

Probably be on the internet all night buying Microsoft products....

 

So been jabbed and currently sitting outside for 5 mins to check I don’t have a reaction before I walk the 10 mins home.

The biggest irony though is when this all began there were those that said it was due to 5G. Well for the first time ever I get a 5G signal ...at the doctors surgery

 

Great news, Kaito.

Just been jabbed myself.

 

So it is true after all.

 

Yep get the jab and my phone has perfect 5G signal
