I've been going into the office these last couple of weeks because with the school holidays I needed some peace and quiet to do my boarding. But so far the tubes have been relatively quiet and I have an entire office floor to myself. From September we're going to be working 2 days in, and 3 days from home.
As you have been vaccinated, then presumably you will have antibodies, meaning you are protected.

Does anyone know if being exposed to Covid without actually catching it boosts the immune system? Does it make a difference if one has been fully vaccinated, as I have?
Whilst I am not aware of having caught it, I cannot believe that I haven't been exposed to it-does that mean my immune system and vaccination are working as they should ?
I've wondered the same actually. In the past when working in the office and getting the train/tube I'd seem to come down with a cold/cough etc seemingly really easily so I'm a bit surprised that I've not had at least a moderate form of Covid despite all the steps I've taken to try to avoid it.Harlow wrote: ↑Thu Aug 19, 2021 11:36 am Question, and apologies if it has been asked/answered before.

We are lead to believe that our immunity wanes, for example look at flu-we are being told that flu will be worse this year because we weren't exposed to it last winter-so will being regularly exposed to Covid help maintain our immunity?ComeOnYouOs wrote: ↑Thu Aug 19, 2021 11:50 amAs you have been vaccinated, then presumably you will have antibodies, meaning you are protected.

Will be interested to see. The thing with football crowds is the away fans. Literally thousands of people every weekend travelling up and down the country, potentially spreading covid.Smendrick Feaselberg wrote: ↑Tue Aug 24, 2021 4:15 pm Cornwall tourists urged to stay away as cases rise : https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cornwall-58318695
If you can get a surge like that there from tourism it makes you wonder what the return of football crowds is going to do nationwide.

Tuffers-below is a bit from the Telegraph last February-I have seen nothing to contradict this (but I am not a scientist) but I have seen comments suggesting that scientists have struggled to identify which flu vaccines needed to be produced for this winter.tuffers#1 wrote: ↑Tue Aug 24, 2021 4:24 pmIm sure thats not what was said about flu .Harlow wrote: ↑Thu Aug 19, 2021 12:16 pmWe are lead to believe that our immunity wanes, for example look at flu-we are being told that flu will be worse this year because we weren't exposed to it last winter-so will being regularly exposed to Covid help maintain our immunity?ComeOnYouOs wrote: ↑Thu Aug 19, 2021 11:50 am

They said add Flu to the Covid virus & Hospitals may
Experience difficulty coping as the numbers of people with both could be in a life threatening situation .
Only with both or covid
Not realistically with flu .
Yes , thats a flu epidemic which is unlikely to kill in massiveHarlow wrote: ↑Tue Aug 24, 2021 5:02 pmTuffers-below is a bit from the Telegraph last February-I have seen nothing to contradict this (but I am not a scientist) but I have seen comments suggesting that scientists have struggled to identify which flu vaccines needed to be produced for this winter.
However there were suggestions last year that catching flu could help protect against Covid-that was pre vaccination
" I would guess that we are likely to get a more severe epidemic in the coming winter - assuming restrictions are fully lifted by then,” said Prof John Edmunds, of the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine and a member of the government’s Sage committee of scientific advisors.
“We have effectively missed out on flu this winter, so the levels of immunity are less than would be typical. In fact, it is not impossible that we will have an out-of-season epidemic perhaps in the autumn, rather than winter,” he told the Telegraph"
Cos last week I think the daily totals were a lot lower.
The numbers are correct, though somewhat skewed by the Bank Holiday last Monday when I guess the people who process the tests were on holiday and therefore not processing tests.Smendrick Feaselberg wrote: ↑Fri Sep 03, 2021 6:06 pmCos last week I think the daily totals were a lot lower.
Apart from New Cases, Critical bed numbers have also been rising steadily for a while now. Sure they are lower than peak numbers but it shows a declining situation which needs to be reversed or we could be facing a new crisis where lockdown will return.faldO wrote: ↑Fri Sep 03, 2021 7:26 pmThe numbers are correct, though somewhat skewed by the Bank Holiday last Monday when I guess the people who process the tests were on holiday and therefore not processing tests.Smendrick Feaselberg wrote: ↑Fri Sep 03, 2021 6:06 pmCos last week I think the daily totals were a lot lower.
If Bank Holiday Monday (~26k) had showed as many positive test cases as today's (~42k) it would have shown about a 7% increase this week over last instead of the reported 0.4%.
No justification for further another lockdown whilst hospitalisations and deaths remain low compared to how they were previously. The number of daily cases is largely irrelevant except when the BBC and others find another way to alarm people - most recently by picking a period when cases were very low (last August) and saying how much worse things are now than they were a year ago.
