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.

    • Also, just to add, the threat to kill someone's dog and try to kick it, is an additional extremely unpleasant layer. I have noticed a lot of the burst water balloons lying around in the park too- that is not great for the environment either.
    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him 
    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
