Had my second Pfizer jab yesterday and so far so good on side effects except for one - can’t stay awake! Fallen asleep at my desk multiple times already this morning lol hopefully that’s all I get.

Was much, much quieter in the vaccine centre this time round. Only me and one other. Said they have lots of batches they’re worried won’t get used.
Welcome to the Bluetooth Special Interest Group.
 
Just waiting for my second dose now. I had to push it back due to having covid in late July. God, I’m the oldest person in here (getting the vaccine) lol

it’s good to see, but loads of kids who are clearly college age. Person in front of me in the queue was 17 - clearly they’re getting through this age group as quick as poss

Ha yes. Vaccinate me up so that I can start mixing bodily fluids as quickly and as safely as possible during freshers week.
 
Hearing of quite a few people recently who seem to test negative on lateral flow multiple times but then test positive on PCR. I wonder whether its down to them previously being infected and not realising or whether delta is less likely to appear on a lateral flow.

Apparently PCRs can be positive 3 months after infection.
 
I was messing around with a similar equation earlier today that I saw in the Washington Post article and built a little plot of Re (effective reproductive number--a measure of how many people an individual could infect when the population has some immunity built in) against % population vaccinated and vaccine effectiveness. The best way to lower Re is to get everyone vaccinated. Increasing vaccine effectiveness (such as via a booster shot) won't help as much to lower Re as just making sure everyone is vaccinated (which was the point of the WaPo article).

I have a lot of friends that work in pharmacies getting these kinds of phone calls. Folks wont' say what medicine - just want them to help figuring the dose.
If you don’t have the mental capacity to even do that grade school arithmetic, perhaps you aren’t actually smarter than every doctor and scientist like you’ve been claiming for a year and half.
