@Regulator, have you got an oximeter? You should get one, I think, as it's hit your chest pretty hard

Re: Covid-19 Pandemic Thread

I’m feeling fairly rotten this morning, having kept myself awake most of the night coughing (you’d think I was back on 40 fags a day) and I’ve got a constant headache (despite regular paracetamol) – and tinnitus which keeps coming and going.

Re: Covid-19 Pandemic Thread

I've been invited to get my booster shot! Thanks for volunteering for the study, @Regulator. Have you found out what you got? I'm waiting for confirmation from the study. They're in the process of writing to us. If we're called for a shot we've been asked to decline it but take any 'flu shot offere...

Re: Covid-19 Pandemic Thread

I believe with some of the coronavirus vaccine tests, the placebo was a meningitis vaccine. Will be interesting to know what you got, and what the results are. The placebo in these test is the meningitis vaccine as well. If the government decide to roll out booster jabs in the autumn, which looks l...

Re: Covid-19 Pandemic Thread

Any updates? I had the jab last Thursday. Overall, the registration process took about two hours, with extensive health questionnaires and a long video taking you through the process. I'll either have got a placebo or one of six Covid vaccines (as they make sure the booster is different from the va...

Re: Meanwhile...

A Tory Party canvasser just called at the door. I think he might be regretting that decision, as I made my views bluntly clear.

He patted me on the head and said to my parents "He is very brown isn't he?"* * For context I'm not black but tan very easi...

Re: Covid-19 Pandemic Thread

I had my second jab of AZ yesterday and I woke up this morning with a slightly achey arm, which I’m hoping is a sign that an immune response is being invoked.

Re: Covid-19 Pandemic Thread

For those of you with travel booked, may I ask, is your criterion "as long as the government rules allow it, we're going", or are you going to be applying an extra criterion of your own assessment of risk? Would there be circumstances where the government allowed it but you still decided not to go?...

Haven't made plans. Australia is sadly far out of reach, and probably will remain so for a long time.

Meanwhile, I am imagining a shepherd's hut just north of Richmond, Surrey 🤔
