Glad you are getting a booster Toff, afterwards you and @maccavennie should compete as to who has the higher antibody numbers
Just to keep you up to date but all rumor atm (24 hours PCR test pre flight, a 7 day quarantine and a PCR test ~ 4 days post flight, unclear who applies to) and nothing confirmed, sorry!
U.S. May Tighten Travel Rules to Fight Omicron, CDC Head Says
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is considering tightened travel recommendations and rules as health officials try to slow the Covid-19 omicron variant’s entry to the U.S.
www.bloomberg.com
The agency is looking measures such as narrowing the testing window for travelers into the country and adding quarantine requirements in certain cases, CDC Director Rochelle Walensky said Tuesday on a call with reporters. It’s also expanding surveillance programs at four major airports to test for Covid from specific international arrivals.
Edit looks like there is a briefing tomorrow scheduled

They are the next level for sure but it's a role that does take it out of you. It's purely a heuristic rather than anything data-driven, but when the wife was working in ICU I recall her saying that few of the nurses on the ward were very old and few had worked there for long periods (10 years, say), simply because it is so draining physically and mentally.

Was down the pub last night and a group of 7-8 police officers came in and checked everyone’s vaccination certificates against IDs. Pretty surreal. Shiz getting real here lol
Well this is definitely a good thing and not terrifying at all.

Here is another perspective of looking at it.
The 90 year old has a much shorter life span than the 27 year old. So by prioritising the 90 year old, you essentially kill 2 people at once rather than save at least one.
When old age is literally a reason put on a death certificate, medically you wouldn't save someone that old as a priority knowing there is potentially 101 different things they could die from within a short space of time , including simply from being old.
Not to mention in that scenario , which one of the two are more likelely to have a full recovery?
It's simply put, choosing the young person saves a life, choosing the 90 year old potentially kills both.
I get what you are saying but maybe the example should never have been a 27 year old Vs a 90 year old! If it was similarly aged then your point would have been a little stronger

When this happens here is when I stop going out and doing anything.
There aren't enough police to deal with real crime so hopefully that factors into the decision making.

I really didn’t know what to make of it. I did feel reassured afterwards though knowing no one in there had faked their vaccination. But yes it was very surreal.
All those people could still have had covid.

You shouldn't have felt reassured...

Yes but would’ve been much less likely to spread it. Rapid tests also deliver lots of false negatives

I did manage to carry on drinking afterwards tbh lol
Yep, they do.
I have a nasty little bug at the minute. Took a rapid, and it has come back positive. So been for a proper test. At this time of year, you have a chance of picking up other coranavirus infections, and produce antibody's for those. Therefore possibly triggering a false positive.
