Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

Might get a lot of abuse for this and I'm fully vaxed but anyone regret getting it?

No. Why would I regret it.

Was little peeved at getting it recently despite having 3 shots up to my October 2021, although having choice to be resting in garden is not entirely bad on reflection. So my Covid timing was good.

Nope, not at all.

Yep, was the same when we arrived, but changes from today.

I was in Cyprus last month for the NI game (what a dreadful nil nil it was btw), and it was exactly the same for me. There's were no issues at all until we tried to get on a bus and the driver made us get masks before we could get on.

Personally, don't understand the point of any restrictions at this point. It's never going to go away and there will never be no risk. We all have to make our own decisions.

Taking any restrictions aside, it’s a nightmare, staff here are c20% down on people in work. It makes management of the day to day stuff impossible.

Dunno how ill the staff are, but ill enough not to be in work. Get the feeling it’ll be another year or two before this type of industry gets back to anywhere near normal. Really sad. Staff were saying they were back at 95% of their usual business, after basically 2 years of zero. This could jeopardise it all again.

I don't think I can take another winter with masks and all

I've had a constant pain in my shoulder for the last year since the second jab. Doctor thinks it hit a nerve. Last few weeks it's been pins and needles and numbness. In my arm and hand... Great!

You should honestly be able to sue for this. Grim stuff.

That sucks but in fairness that sounds like a badly administered jab as opposed to an issue with the vaccine

Oh yeah of course. Still annoying as hell!!

Wonder how many others there are? Guess that's always a risk when you have to train up loads of new people to do something usually done by someone it's second nature to - they've always got their first few to do...

I can imagine. Hope it gets better soon!

Tested positive today . We're having a surge of cases in New Zealand, winter and all that. First day of symptoms on Tuesday night really hit me like a truck, am slowly feeling better though.

Get well soon mate.

I felt like absolutely ? for about 36-48 hours after my last one (#4) - way worse than any of the previous. Injection site arm killing me, severe fatigue, aches, headache. Utter ?

No regrets whatsoever and will get the one CDC will be recommending this fall.
If I feel that bad from the vaccine, I figure an actual infection would not go well for me so I will continue to get recommended vaccines.

It can happen even with the best trained, most experienced immunizer.

Get well soon mate.

Thanks mate. Am certainly on the improve.

Defo, the signal is nowhere near as good as I was told it would be

The effects of inflation in consumer food prices stemming from the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and the measures put in place to contain it, are clear and significant. Global consumer food prices were higher by the end of 2020 than they were during any month in the previous six years. This translated directly into an increased average cost of a healthy diet in 2020 for all regions and almost all subregions in the world.

The affordability of a healthy diet measures the average cost of the diet relative to income; therefore, changes over time can be the result of changes in the cost of the diet, people’s income, or both. In 2020, the measures put in place to contain COVID-19 sent the world and most countries into economic recession, with per capita incomes contracting in more countries than at any time in the recent past.
