Re: Coronavirus
Does the booster actually stop infection? I know more people with Covid now than at any time since start of Pandemic, and they have all had booster

Me. I had mine scheduled for last Friday before I caught the rona at the Crawley game.
Got to wait 4 weeks now, so will try and get it at the end of Jan.

Re: Coronavirus
Wonder if the mass booster campaign might save Boris despite everything given how effective it's been. Like the initial vaccination program gave him a boost (pun intended)

Re: Coronavirus
Along with him saying he could have reimposed restrictions at/around Christmas time but didn't and that was great leadership because they weren't necessary.Currywurst and Chips wrote: ↑Wed Dec 22, 2021 5:04 pm Wonder if the mass booster campaign might save Boris despite everything given how effective it's been.

Re: Coronavirus
That all depends on if hospitalizations and deaths rise. If they shoot up then he is in the ××××

Instead of acting on the result of the problem , as we always do , we should be sharpening our efforts along with WHO to attack the cause. We should be insisting on countries achieving 80% vaccination and placing restrictions on those that don’t. Until this happens , we may be dealing with variants for years and others may be more destructive than this one.

Anyone know where I can track Omicron numbers?

Currywurst. You continue with your childish digs without bringing any evidence to the table that I was wrong. Death rates have not risen. Come back again if they do.

With the delta variant, vaccine
effectiveness against infection has been estimated at around 65% with Vaxzevria(AZ) and 80% with Comirnaty (Pfizer)

Re: Coronavirus
Genuine question that I’m confused about. We are being told to get a booster (I.e. third shot) to boost immunity but other countries like Israel and potentially Germany are saying the same thing about immunity but that you will need a 4th shot. Is it just a timing thing I.e. people in those countries got their 3rd shot long enough ago that immunity might have worn off? A clash in the science?

Re: Coronavirus
I think Israel were one of the first countries to vaccinate, dont know which vaccine they're using.

I’m just watching the news about the new covid restrictions. I was wondering if whether we can still go to the home games against Newport and Bristol Rovers .?

Re: Coronavirus
Listening to the radio last week a Doctor from South Africa said it seems a very mild form of the illness. I can’t help thinking the government is panicking needlessly

We’re finished then. Covid is here for life and will always mutate. We can now look forward to a 4th , 5th , 6th jab etc, and lockdowns forever.Prestige Worldwide wrote: ↑Wed Dec 22, 2021 10:59 pmWhy be cautious?

We should base our policies on the word of one doctor instead of being cautious and waiting for data?

No , not just one doctor, she is one of many . Data is also implying that it’s a mild illness .Prestige Worldwide wrote: ↑Wed Dec 22, 2021 11:55 pm We should base our policies on the word of one doctor instead of being cautious and waiting for data?
