If you're 100% immune you can still spread it via sheer contact alone.

At this very moment, no matter how well you feel, you are carrying both internally and externally, trillions upon trillions of different types of viruses - even if you're working on the International Space Station you have viruses. You are likely immune to many of them and working on proofing against the others. They're mutating at varying frequencies as they replicate so it's a constant battle on all fronts. If someone is near you then you will be inadvertently exchanging some viruses, when you eat and breathe some more are coming in, and out too. When you have a cut more come in, and some will even come out. When you vomit and defecate they come out, but some even come in. When you touch something you spread viruses and pick others up. You are literally living and breathing viruses.

As the situation is at present most will not harm you. (And that's not the virus-plan anyway - if they can use you as a host to replicate then that's good enough for them.)

If you have had a very typical virus - say that which causes chicken pox - and you know that since you were ill then perhaps shingles and cold-sores might be an unfortunate aftermath, you also know that you won't get chicken pox again. But that doesn't mean that it's fine to waltz among sufferers and then proceed to mingle with others without thinking - the others might not have had chicken pox. Your careless proximity could kill someone.

At my age I am lucky to have had Jab 1 Pfizer-Biontech and when I have had Jab 2 then I shall be pleased to tell people that I am likely low-risk to illness from Covid, from which I think I've already been ill. But unless Covid is 100% eradicated I will likely always be able to spread it, for the basics mentioned above.


There might be firm proof of a sturdy and well-established anti-body defence among some jab-dodgers but we will have to start thinking carefully about those who choose not to be vaccinated, or indeed those who simply cannot be vaccinated.

Can you post the link to the information on that drug ? Sounds an interesting development (unless of course it's trump bleach 😱)


FYI the new emoji possibly only works on the latest Apple and Android devices 😭

  • 2 weeks later...

Interesting story today about potential rules around employing vaccinated staff, the minefield of current employees and how some countries in Europe are coping with vaccine rwfusers.

Indeed, very Rem


I?m liking his current project due for Manchester DR (of which a COVID-19 denier must have walked past at least once or twice)


It is designed by the international practice Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA), founded by Rem Koolhaas and will be their first major, permanent cultural building in the UK. Ellen van Loon is the lead architect and OMA have designed a structure with uniquely flexible internal spaces, as well as the spaces outside, including two public squares by the River Irwell, intended to make The Factory a destination for people living and working in Manchester, as well as visitors to the city.


The Factory's internal spaces cover approximately 13,300 square meters, with adaptability designed to enable the commissioning of large scale and intimate work across different art forms, including dance, theatre, music, opera, visual arts, popular culture and digital work, plus major exhibitions and concerts. Work commissioned for The Factory will go on to be presented around the world, whilst Manchester International Festival will continue to take place every two years.


The Factory is anticipated to bring 1,500 full time jobs and add up to ?1.1 billion to Manchester's economy over a decade.[4] It will also offer a skills, training and engagement programme for people living across Greater Manchester.


Great project, by a Dutch Architect. I?m guessing all the English ones were busy when this gem for Manchester came up for grabs. Anyways, fu(? COVID-19.

Lol


There was a strong field of contenders to be the architect so it wasn't a case they were too busy, just didn't win the bid.

There is a denier question that I thought about this morning.


If a worker in a care home refuses to be vaccinated and subsequently gets Covid and people in their care catch it from the worker and die. Could the worker be charged with manslaughter for not taking appropriate precautions ?


It would be an interesting legal case I think

Already delayed (Covid) and over budget (quelle surprise).

Still, looking forward to seeing it when it's completed, in the meantime here's some drone footage of progress and a visual walk-through, Manchester's mice are in for a treat...

There are deniers (conspiracy theorists and such like) and vaccine refusers


Both groups are not mutually exclusive and they may well die out as time goes by.

Those who are vaccine hesitant are expected to eventually take the vaccine, so there may be a small percentage of genuine anti-vaxers left. How much influence they can exert over others is the real question. I would guess it will be less and less as the vaccine rolls out and the economy opens up again.
Not strange at all. We have been in harder lockdown since the New Year. We also have an extensive annual vaccine program against flu (which was extended this year to the over fifties) and it has not has the opportunity to spread in the usual way. It is in fact, one of the upsides of the pandemic, but can also be seen as a moot point given that it has been replaced by something far more deadly to those most impacted.

What you are saying blah blah is perfectly correct

However, it does give us an opportunity to start to fight back against flu spreading in future years.

I have a feeling that hands, face and space or similar guidance will be here for a few winters to come. If that's the case then combined with the flu vaccine we could see flu going the same way as measles

If people around the world aren't catching it on mass then it possibly won't mutate and be less virulent till it virtually dies out.


One can but hope

Lol is the lesson "hermits don't get the lurgy" ?


But again a good point, we all need better hands and face hygiene going forward into winters to additionally suppress winter illnesses

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
