Coronavirus.

I was due to have my booster last Friday , but then caught covid instead. Should I still get my vaccine after I’m better ? Or is it kind of pointless at this point ? Surely I will have the antibodies from actual covid 🤔
Colleagues that have had covid have, still had vaccines, afterward, although months later than other people...

My last vaccine was back in May. It think that may be why covid got me so hard compared to the more recently vaccinated in my household

Get that booster as soon as you are able! Son caught covid for the 2nd time at christmas ,so any antibodies remaining from the first time a year earlier didn't prevent it.
First time was last november (2020) before the vaccines started. He's had 2 Pfizers (2nd one in August) , and was due to get his booster the other week , the same day as the PCR results came back positive!

He must have had the Kent variant the first time around, but wasn't told which one he had this time. (Track & trace rang when he was in the shower and left a message that they would ring back later but didn't. So he doesn't know if they were ringing to say which variant, after contact details, or just checking if he was in ...)


Interestingly , me and hubby were in close contact with him over the 5 days and kept testing negative daily, before , during and after his stay with us. I reckon our boosters must have worked their magic either keeping our levels so low the lat flow tests didn't pick it up, or warded it off completely.

How do we think BoJo will fare in the current round of party-gate? Will he continue to shrug off all of the outrage until he is eventually outed at the next election or is there actually a block in this game of Jenga that will cause the tower to collapse?

Maybe it's just luck, eldest child & his gf both had covid before any vaccinations. Both had to wait months for them after recovering. (both are in late 20's, & were super fit before covid, doing 10k runs/rides daily, but are still struggling with health / breathing a year on).

Middle sons gf (both mid 20's, they live together) caught covid last summer despite having 2 vaccines as she's a teacher... Middle son had only 1 vaccine but did not catch it at all, even after isolating with her.

Myself & 'the carer' both work in high volume retail... I though we would be most at risk, but... ..... Touch wood neither of us have had covid, neither has our high school youngest child, despite everyone around us catching it (she also has, a part time job in retail) ..... And despite me being treated, after my hospital spell, as if I had had covid... Never proved, but treatment has worked well for me.


It really just seems to be the luck of the draw. All you can do us to do your best for yourself & your family.

Does it really matter?

The next one will be just as bad and the one after that and the one after that...

Have you ever had a conversation before, Theresa Green?! That's not how they work, you can't just shout "WTF nobody cares" in their face! XD

I prefer to flip that to literally anyone else in any party. Hell, even the DUP couldn't do much worse, and some sweetcorn in a recent poo had a more coherent covid policy.
Woah, that's well over the top.

Anything, I mean ANYTHING, is better than the DUP.

And anyway, who is to say the other parties can't do better? They've not had a chance for over 10 years. The tories do nothing for people like us*.

*Casting aspersions that none of us are Eton educated.
I voted LD in the 2019 GE because I didn't think either Boris or Corbyn were fit for office. I didn't vote for anybody in the local elections last year because non of the candidates were of any worth whatsoever. First time since becoming eligible that I haven't voted.

There is a possibility I might vote Labour at the next GE. But Starmer's going to have to at least have to announce some policies first.

Frankly though, I don't hold out any hope that he'll be any better. Tony Blair light, more like and it didn't take long at all before I realised that voting for him was also a big mistake.

I honestly think the UK is finished and my best hope is to get the hell out of it as soon as reasonably possibly.

Anyway, onto less miserable chat. Let's talk about COVID...
