Most of my friends have either had or been offered 1, we are in our mid-40s.

The missus was actually offered 1 last week, she is in her mid-30s, her text said she had an underlying condition, what it is she isn't sure, it was a total mystery.

My daughter is in her mid 30’s, she had one about 2 weeks ago.....

He`s only warming up mate, he hasn`t even started on the topic of neo liberal scum yet.

He's more negative than an electron in the Large Halon Collider at CERN.

I never really had an urge to sit in a park pre covid if I am honest. But that said, even though our lives here wont really be changed come what may, restrictions wise, it was nice to see a few more folk doing just that when I drove past it earlier today.

Will be nice to some kids playing footie at the weekend as well.

Oh yeah I'm not meaning to condemn them for it as such - it's to be expected. It was absolutely heaving down there today, like as busy as I've ever seen it when I drove past on my way home from work, but it's outside, plenty of space etc

Covid: 'Madness' as hundreds descend on Nottingham park

Footage on social media shows people brawling at Nottingham Arboretum after restrictions were eased.

Shameful, but sadly not surprising.

Suppression through track and trace, social distancing and masks, and treatment of the virus through therepeutics are the armoury that we need to be leading with until we have a world where the vast majority have had vaccine pumped into it.

Track & trace may work in the developed countries ( if only that was right ) with all the advancement and technology they possess , but that will never work in the some of tight knit communities in the sub continent , many parts of Africa and South America.
Best of luck with masks & social distancing too.
Global vaccination is the ONLY thing to stop this horid virus.

Q: Are we really at risk of a third wave, given how many people have been vaccinated? Whitty says there is a wall of protection that will get stronger with second doses. “But it is not a complete wall, it is a leaky wall.” If there is a small surge, people will get severe disease and die. If...

...but, until that point, we require upping the game massively on the suppression of the virus.

This is not advising people to not be vaccinated, but some haematologists have noticed a possible drop in your platelets (that help your blood clot) that they hypothesis that this may be related to covid vaccination.
So whilst still getting vaccinated, if you notice, suddenly bruising easy, bleeding easy- it might be worth the GP doing a simple blood test, and there should be no long term concerns.
There's been no call to stop the vaccination programme, and the consultant disclosing this never said which type of vaccine.

Syphilis is easily treated with penicillin btw. Chlamydia is also easy to treat, gonorrhoea is the resistant one.

I'm glad you agree on the vital importance of the vaccine's mate
