Aubrey Maturin Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Coming soon an app that notes how many alcoholic drinks you have had per day and limits what you can buy. Must have been agony for the wee free last night watching those scenes of jubilation and partying. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnash Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 6 minutes ago, Todd_is_God said: Not really. Once they level off the next move is down. That's not spin. We should not accept any measures introduced to bring cases down when they are about to do so anyway. The fact that large sections of the public would wave them through, almost with glee because, unlike Boris NS is doing something, is absolutely bizarre to me. It's got hee-haw to do with England. In the graph you posted, on 3 previous occasions, the dotted line leveled off and then started going down, only for it to start going up again within a few days in every case. So the current leveling off in the last few days doesn't at all mean that the next medium term trend will be downwards. Maybe that will happen. Maybe the line will briefly go down before going back up again after a few days like on the other occasions. Maybe it won't even start going down before resuming the upward trend. I don't know, neither do you. None of this says that an extension of vaccine passports is the right thing to do, but you can't possibly know at this point that cases are about to start coming down in any meaningful trend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTee Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Not sure if this is relevant or even interesting . Just noticed it somewhere else. If it happens, I suppose restaurants etc which are busy regardless, will maybe check vaccine status when making a booking. Local pubs, which are struggling as it is. Just can't see it. Not sure about gyms, cinemas, bowling alleys? etc. Just doesn't feel right. When would it be lifted? When does your double vaccination status lapse? - Won't be in place a single day longer than is needed, but with nothing to to say what needs to be met for this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Its not hard to see where this is going. I've been saying all year that Vaccine Passports and mandates are not about public health. I'm glad other people are starting to realise it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for that tweet, I think it is awful that parliamentarians are banned from voting based on vaccine status. It is the absolute worst thing I have seen yet. What next? Membership of a particular party needed to vote? The right religion? And here comes Eric with a hashtag like that - what a walloper. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suspect Device Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Just got my letter about my flu vaccine and it said that if I'm eligible I will get the covid booster at the same time. I thought they were not giving them both at the same time because it led to worse side effects??? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they were not giving them both at the same time because it led to worse side effects???Nope that’s not the case. All the recommendations I’ve seen suggest it’s safe to have both together. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distant Doonhamer Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Looking for a specific bit of vaccine advice. Family friend who is due Covid booster and flu jab but tested positive for Covid at the weekend. Covid booster will thus be delayed by 4 weeks but they are wondering if they can still get flu jab without delaying that too (obviously would wait until self isolation period complete). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted November 16, 2021 Author Share Posted November 16, 2021 I got my booster and flu jab together and they asked me if I'd tested positive in the previous four weeks. Might be worth delaying the flu jab or at least asking for advice from pharmacy etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s seeking advice but I wondered if anyone on here might have already asked that specific question and thus have some info.Thanks for the reply. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard Graft Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Just had the booster jag this morning at the old F&DRI. Fair queue but it kept on moving and in and out in about 30 minutes. Looks like a well oiled operation they have running. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MP_MFC Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 BBC news there seeming to suggest no extension to vaccine passports incoming but a, sigh, routemap of what will trigger any changes in future. Belief is that businesses are dead set against any extension of the programme and the belief that cases are high but not about to massively increase and no sign of any post cop problems either. We shall see soon I guess. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
