A reminder that after getting the vaccine, people should still socially distance, wear a mask etc, as it won't prevent you from catching the virus and potentially passing it on. The Gov should really be hammering this point home to people.


At Biden's inauguration last week, noticed quite a few people were 'double masking'...


Useful article by @j_g_allen on importance of face masks:

Homemade masks are 50% efficient

Blue surgical mask 60-80% efficient

For maximal protection use cloth mask over surgical mask 90% efficient

To be fair, it is unknown whether it will stop you passing it on or just reduce the severity of any illness should you catch the virus. I agree, though, that anyone who has had it ought not to abandon the regulations.

On first read I thought this was a clever joke playing on Boris's name and the govt lengthening of the timing between doses....then I confirmed elsewhere that its a real story, which is exactly as it reads:)


im still sure there's a good joke in there somewhere!

Another issue is whether the existing vaccines will protect against all the new mutations, and in the case of some of the mutations, it seems - at the moment - probably not.

    • Hello.   Thanks Nigel and Hparker 😀   I've got new slots available for new students looking for a piano teacher or guitar teacher.   You could start in the new term beginning September, or I'm also available adhoc-styles through the summer holidays at times.   I teach all ages, in most styles, in lots of different ways according to how you learn/like to learn.   Give me a call or text on 07730 402336.   I have connections to lots of performance opportunities/networks too.   I run regular events /student concerts, and play in bands/perform.   Natalie. 
    • So do I, but I think they are in trouble as well.  Anyway, that space wouldn't be big enough.
    • I'm not talking about Starmer. I was responding to a post which  said that  Corbyn was unelectable. How people voted in the "more hotly contested election" is irrelevant. Corbyn wasn't leading the Labour Party then. Starmer was. And the turnout for Labour reflects that. 
    • Reeves says she's in charge and no no's Rayners plan, what happens now?
