I have just checked the three vaccine booster sites on my GP email and there are no appointments available. The booster program does appear to be falling short, I am struggling to get mine. |
Had two messages, one from local surgery and one from NHS. The NHS Covid booster website I was referred to had dozens of alternatives choose Colchester as could get it done next day. There was even one listed that appeared to be a private address on Sheldrake Drive. |  |

If you have 100 apples and open them all up to find 10 are bad, and someone else has 100 apples and only opens up 10 of them to find 5 are bad, who has the most bad apples (answer:you) and who has the highest rate of bad apples (answer:them) ?
We're getting painted as the highest covid rate in Europe if not the world, whereas the graph below shows the reality

I think the trend line of UK cases is the more important point here; that's bad however you would like to paint it. |  |

Had my booster Sunday afternoon at Colchester stadium and was surprised by the age of people bring vaccinated. Majority seemed to be in the 20-40 age group and many were there for first jab.
While the government still hold back from making mask wearing mandatory it is clear that it is everyone’s best interest to wear them. Question for those who will be the North Stand concourse Saturday. Will you wear a mask or are you afraid what your mates will say if you do. It is worth remembering if things get a lot worse, because people don’t wear masks, that the likely outcome is games behind closed doors again. |
Good question. I've dodged covid twice in the last month - once when half the North stand got infected and after meeting a friend last weekend - and surprised to do so both times but test results have all been negative.
I'm not sure if I'm going Saturday yet but, if I do, I will wear a mask most of the time. Certainly I've slipped a little in when I've worn one but still consistently in shops and on public transport.
The train to Cambridge, from Kings Cross, on Saturday was actually remarkable for the high percentage of people wearing masks. Unusual now. | |

All measurements are trending in the wrong direction at the moment yes, i wouldn't dispute that.
I'm still yet to hear why we still have lower case numbers than the last week of wearing masks in the middle of summer though. [Post edited 20 Oct 2021 18:08]

that's only part of it, it's good we test more, but we need to act on it, or it's worthless.
our hospitalisations and deaths are higher as well, showing that we aren't doing well here | |

I don't understand how anyone could claim ignorance after 20 months.

Indeed. You can also guarantee that there will be practically no one wearing a mask on the concourses at Portman Rd on Saturday, despite it being part of the entrance rules. It is really beginning to feel awkward being one of so few to still wear one. | | | |

A better measure is surely hospitalisations and deaths. Because i, for one, have it and am not on the stats... | | | |

Why give these pillocks the publicity they desire? I don't see people sharing flat earthers latest attempts to convince us the earth is flat.
They love the publicity and "authenticity" a discussion around their nonsense, feeds their need to feel important.
I'd simply just ignore the bell ends rather than let it worry you.
(Not a dig btw - is very tempting to highlight how stupid they are but I really think they are best left off a thread discussing appropriate responses to the ongoing pandemic) |
I’m not sure a handful of Town fans discussing it on here equals giving them publicity. And, I actually disagree with you; these morons should be named and shamed. And, preferably, hounded in the same way they harrass normal decent people. |  |

Very true, at half time at Cambridge in the mens toilets it was packed, predictably, but I was the only one wearing a mask, it felt awkward. |  | | |

Think we'd pretty much done the vast majority by then, but could be a factor. It was weird though, it dropped off a cliff from up to 60k a day to 25k a day shortly after restrictions were lifted. Vaccination effects are only very gradual. | |

Granted TWTD is unlikely to make much difference.
But if they seek publicity and seek fame, how is "naming and shaming" them going to be helpful? Would think there would be nothing they'd love more than getting their pic in the papers or on social media tbh.
Best ignored imho. And harassing them would absolutely play into their hands, enabling them to play the victim and argue people are trying to shut them up... |  |

The circumstances are different between now and the end of summer, there are more vaccinated people now including older children and there are more children off school now than there were at that time. Those two things alone cut down a significant vector of transmission.
Cases are higher now than on the 19th July (and trending upwards) although they were higher the few days before that, hospitalisations are up (and trending upwards) and deaths are running at ~250% the figure at that time. I'm not sure it's particularly relevant to cite that milestone date unless it's to propagate a narrative of some description.
To be honest, I'm not actually sure what point you are trying to make. It looks like muddying the waters with regards to the effectiveness of mask wearing but I am sure that can't be the case. Perhaps you would like to make your point in a clearer way so that I understand?

Absolutely. The Russians are getting 1000 deaths a day and their cases numbers are supposedly below ours. | |

Again we have to say to you - because the Russian vaccination rates are not great:

What an irresponsible attitude. You have a duty to report the result of a positive Covid test. | |

As I just mentioned in the other thread, they erected a noose outside Parliament today.

No, i wasn't puzzled as to why Russia had higher deaths, I was continuing my point about how irrelevant case numbers were. | |

The Russian vaccine is also less than reliable. | | | |

So so weird how people still think the chief solution to allnthis is “lock everything down” rather than pay people properly to stay home when they’re sick. |  |
