Did anybody of you guys have Covid?

I don’t know how this will work as it kind of takes away people’s rights . Those that for whatever reason have chosen not to have the vaccine will be discriminated against . It’s a tough one .

That being said there have been mandatory vaccines required to visit certain overseas countries so perhaps this would be no different. If you haven’t had it there is no guarantee of safety so venues / countries should be within their rights to protect themselves.

Another thing is a lot of people don’t have mobile devices . There was an old man on the news in the week who couldn’t get a pint at his local because he didn’t have a smart phone and so they said they couldn’t take his order .

If we do have vaccine passports I hope it’s carefully thought out and not rushed .

I had the Oxford vaccine Thursday and felt so rough afterwards . Not looking forward to my second dose

I hope so as the effects from the first were terrible .

Strange how it affects people so differently as my hubby was fine

I haven't had Covid, but a few of my siblings, their families and in-laws have. None were hospitalised, and they seem to have recovered fully. Also, none were vaccinated and it ripped through them like a tornado . I just had my second messenger RNA shot, nothing unusual to report so far. One of my wife's work colleagues is feeling awful after his first, and he's considerably more athletic than me - not sure how that works.

My landlord's husband died from it. The man was in his 60s...healthy and going strong in life. It was all very sudden. Only in the hospital for a couple of months.

Even having had both vaccines, this still worries me as it seems quite a lottery as to whether you still get really sick, or have minor symptoms.

Exactly my thoughts. It seems strange that a lot of schools in the USA are going back to "normal" with cases rising and Covid now being more dangerous for children. I think it's only a matter of time before schools shut down again...in fact, several to my knowledge have. 

As you mentioned, it's not so much the children themselves, but the families they bring the virus home to that is perhaps more of a concern, particularly as many kids may be asymptomatic and may unknowingly pass Covid onto grandparents.

I don't have any kids at school, but I'm in my late 50s, fat, mildly asthmatic, and a carer for another vulnerable individual, so I really don't want to put the vaccines to the test if I can avoid it.  I'm currently weighing up the potential risks of a couple of concerts I have booked for October, which were postponed from last year.  At the moment, I feel reluctant to attend, as if I did go, I don't think I would feel comfortable being amongst crowds of other people.

In the US, the choice to "not believe in" the COVID vaccine really is "can of worms". The vaccine denyers won't take medicine unless it "comes from the horse's mouth".

but in fairness, they should be completely worm-free. should save a few carpets/rugs from the proverbial Arse-scooting.

Yes I most definitely agree with that as they are asymptomatic carries.

All we can do is hope the vaccine helps

I imagine he likely feels like he has the flu or a very bad cold . Fingers crossed he will get better quickly .

Yeah fancy a few days off work cheers for the pic Bri 

He has made a good point . Maybe they only contact those with the omicron variant meaning he may have Delta. My daughter tested positive the end of November and was never told what variant she had .
