Coronavirus - Part Two.

Scientists are mystified, and wary, as Africa avoids COVID-19 disaster - Los Angeles Times (latimes.com)

Changing the subject away from conspiracy theories for a minute....

 

I found a strange thing with my covid passport (for want of a better term)  the other day.  It said "No Covid records found" where previously it has shown both of my vaccines.

It took some digging on the Internet to find out why as it's not massively publicised. Once you get a positive PCR test, like I did last Thursday, apparently it "revokes" the passport for 14 days after the test. It doesn't tell you it's doing that though, it just says no records found.

 

The only way I found out was through a story about someone due to fly 11 days after a positive test, was ok to do so through the isolation rules but couldn't due to the revocation lasting 14 days.

So, if you are due to fly out in that 10-14 day windows after a PCR test, remember to print off your vaccine passport before submitting the test as a paper copy is valid for 30 days.

This finding tallies with recent results from the US from the first trail groups.

That’s good news for Africa.

Long may it remain the case.

It's ok we are used to alternative facts in here.

 

Israel being in Africa would hardly make some folk blink

My neighbour is in his middle fifties and has had two jabs of the Coronavirus vaccine. Does he have to wait 6 months since his last jab before he can have the booster. ? Does he have to wait for a letter from his GP or the NHS giving him a phone number to ring or an online number ? Any advice would be helpful.

He has to wait 6 months before he can receive the booster jab.  He can book a booster jab before the 6 months have ended.  The easiest way to book an appointment is online. You can do this on his behalf if you know his date of birth and postcode.

Thank you, that is very helpful.

There is very little negative vaccine news compared with the very encouraging results achieved in the last year.

Another question for you.

With the great benefit of hindsight Over the last couple of years,what would your preference have been.

I can only assume that it would have been 100% let it rip.That is total reliance on herd immunity in the fullness of time.

Correct me if I’m wrong.

Sweden had pretty much the right idea, protect the vulnerable and rely on herd immunity to do the rest, our natural immunity is better than the vaccine will ever be.

Look how easy it would be to be controlled once this is fully in place.

Tell him if he's in reasonable health with no pre-existing conditions he doesn't really need it.

I think that they ,like us will rely on both.

After a slowish start they are over the 70% mark now.

A  death rate per head of population over 3 times that of Scandanavian neighbours would tend to indicate a failure as far as that policy  goes.

Jens Spahn, German Health Secretary, yesterday:

 

“By winter’s end, everyone will be vaccinated, recovered or dead”

 

Un-Germanly undiplomatic, in its brutal frankness. But clearly necessary to get the message through.
 

It is high time indeed, that people in charge everywhere stopped skirting around the issues and dropped the kid gloves.

Funnily enough Germany has been one of the main anti covid protestor places all through the pandemic, so no surprise that vaccinations are low and cases are rising
