The Slim Reaper 11-02-2021 03:54 PM

I had testers turn up at my door earlier, gave me a testing kit and said they'd pick it up after an hour (which they did), but it was all just a bit Gestapowy. They were on about the trying to get a handle the new variant, but I had no idea they were just rocking up at doors these days.

I'm not a conspiracy theorist so was happy to do the test, but even I was a bit weirded out by it.

Sooooo .. slight tangent .. but you know all the thousands of people getting vaccinated daily ... presumably many must be already infected and are asymptotic ??

How does that effect them ??

Good , bad or indifferent ??

It would boost their antibodies that is the answer Van Tam gave when asked if people needed to be vaccinated if they already had covid and recovered

the idea is that they try and test everyone in an area to see if there are any asymptomatic cases found that may have gone under the radar and be making the infection rate worse. But yes, someone randomly appearing at the door to take a sample is invading privacy a tad

24.8% of adults have had first dose

Would his answer cover the asymptotic ones who have it though .. not the ones who’d had it and recovered ??

Wouldnt it do the same thing? Encourage more antibodies :shrug:


IS IT SAFE TO VACCINATE (GIVE A SHOT TO) PEOPLE WHO ARE ASYMPTOMATIC CARRIERS?


There is no reason to think the vaccine (shot) would not work or would have negative effects if given to someone who has the virus but no symptoms. If symptoms develop a few days after the shot, they may be from the infection. The same thing happens every year with the flu.

Government are doing fantastic, the U.K. has a world leading government in terms of their vaccine rollout. Other countries are following suit with the 12 week idea funnily enough (whilst everyone here was criticising at first..) Boris is now showing he is a leader not a follower and other governments are following suit now. Some mistakes may have been made early on but as far as 2021 goes they’re doing incredible

Sky News Press Review just revealed that there are ‘currently’ 4,000 different Covid19 variants across the world !!!

Wales will hit the target today

Cherie 12-02-2021 08:26 AM

fair dues nobody expected the target to be anywhere near when they announced it I think

Nicky91 12-02-2021 08:38 AM

the specific group who will get AZ in Netherlands are age group of 60-64

and also people with down syndrome, and obese/overweight people

Ammi 12-02-2021 09:46 AM

...this is why it all gets so confusing as well because the U.K. government were being praised and ‘vindicated’ by The WHO only a few days ago...

The year is 2038. The Slim clones are nearing adulthood... their indoctrination to the cause, implanted during their long gestation, is strong. Soon it will be time for us to open the vats and unleash them on the world. Soon... soon.

I was just thinking how it's a bit strange for someone turning up at your door asking to stick something up your nose (if that's how they do it?).
