Went out for me tea earlier and oh lord how I have missed the sight of scantily clad women in their short dresses and heels.

There is literally nothing better in life than sitting back with a ice cold bevvy and admiring the local talent - if it was an olympic sport you would all be sat in the company of a gold medalist.

Yeah no problems. Just sitting in pub in Chepstow now enjoying a pint of Estrella.

Nice part of the world. I used to work in Newport 50 years ago and lived at the top of the eastern valley, Chepstow was the posh place to visit.....

A slight increase in hospital admissions noted as well sadly.

That‘s a key indicator, hopefully the admissions will reduce again....

They stopped it as an Olympic sport after we added the Benny Hill music in 1948.

Time and cost?

Someone said that to me the other week and I was surprised. I genuinely didn't think there were people who believed it cost them something financially. Is it cost if they get sick etc...

Even the time part. Unless they have an adverse reaction there's really no need to take any time off.

Heck schedule it on a Friday afternoon and by Monday they should be ok. That's what I did. There are plenty of appointments out there that take 20 mins or less.

Speaking of which. I actually had something that resembled the flu after the first shot. It didn't stop me doing anything just felt awful.

I am fit and healthy but I guess my immune system didn't like it. My second shot is next week so it should be interesting haha!

No 10 ‘tried to block’ data on spread of new Covid variant in English schools

Scientists, unions and teachers concerned after data cut from Public Health England report ahead of shift on face masks

www.theguardian.com

Downing Street leaned on Public Health England not to publish crucial data on the spread of the new Covid variant in schools, documents seen by the Observer have suggested. Scientists, union officials and teachers said that the lack of transparency was “deeply worrying”.

The focus of their anger concerns the pre-print of a PHE report that included a page of data on the spread of the India Covid-19 variant in schools. But when the report was published on Thursday 13 May, the page had been removed. It was the only one that had been removed from the pre-print. Days later, the government went ahead with its decision to remove the mandate on face coverings in English schools.

As I understand it yes, some people think that they will be charged for the vaccine especially as it is not unusual in the sign uo process to be asked for your insurance details. The US medical system hasn’t got a great history with avoiding surprise medical bills, indeed some people have received them and it will be a pain to reverse the charges

You got billed for your free COVID vaccine. Here's how to get paid back

The COVID-19 vaccine is free, but some people are still getting charged. Here's why.

Now the vaccines are widely available at drug stores for walk in appointments that should hopefully ease some of the time concern issues

Hope you have better luck with your 2nd dose!
