For anyone interested 446 cases here today, the highest it's been by quite a bit. 2874 active cases, 23 in hospital none in intensive care. That's for the whole country. 18936 cases total since the pandemic began.
According to the Ministry 95% of 12 and older have had at least 2 jabs.
43% of 5-11 year olds have had their first jab, which has only been available for a few weeks.
There's still a steady trickle of first doses being given to adults too, perhaps a result of all the vaccine mandates and people needing a job?

What's the selling point for the children or is that more coercion? Just have to hope it works out ok for them.

My good lady has got it after our neice gave it her on Monday night. Shes fine apart from very tired!

I dreamt last night that Mr Nonsense appeared at the back door in an outfit like the Green Cross Code man wore but dressed as the Covid Cross Man, demonstrating the error of my ways.
It was very vivid!
Mind you, he'd never find his way out of Essex

Get well soon, Mrs Mackay! Himself is showing signs of concern for you

No idea, I suppose when you have so many people getting the vaccine for themselves its bound to filter down to the children. I don't think the rate will get as high as the 12+ group. It will be interesting to see how many adults get the booster now the gap has been reduced to 3 months after number 2.

Ooopppsss...................could have told them we don`t have enough staff - they still built it!

'Nightingale' Covid hub to shut without seeing a patient

How many staff is enough? For every nurse they'll probably hire 2 managers.
Its the same here, our government has had 2 years of basically zero covid to get things set up for a pandemic, now we finally have it nurses are saying we don't have enough staff.
If you bought back national service but trained everyone as a nurse instead of a solider, I think there'd still be a nursing shortage.

Niece brought it back 10 days ago, her dad (asthma, odese, heart cond) got it 3 days later.
Mother (94) got 4 days ago..
All high temp, sore throat coaching etc.
Now sister got it.
Fortunately me and other half don't live in same house (misses suffered from ME)
Paramedics that came out to mother, were extremely good and monitoring her very closely as local hospital apparently full of mainly non-vaxers. Who then ask for the vaccine on arrival.
Worrying time for a few days......

Well hopefully mother doesn't get added to the list.
I'm honestly not bothered what people do.
I had the vax, as I'm not long out of some savage chemo for leukaemia and I now suffer from fatigue.
My part time helper, tells me daily how it's all world control etc etc.
As long as I can avoid spending another 3 months in hospital and icu, I'll be happy

They should get though it Ok, as I take it they are all fully vaccinated. Then its just a matter of rest and plenty of fluids. A bit too late for the unvaccinated to be vaccinated once they have it, but the new antivirals appear to be pretty good, even if the side effects can be fairly unpleasant in some people.

I recieved an NHS letter, containing a pcr test and info about the anti-virals.
It's tempting to throw 'caution to the wind'
Got a few people I deal with, that have had it 2 or 3 times in the last 12 months and their all about buggered as far as work is concerned, which is impacting on my business.

I certainly wouldn't throw 'caution to the wind' for a while. I assume you have already been contacted for additional booster vaccines as leukaemia does tend to leave your immune system compromised as you will be well aware.

I had it last week. Tested positive Monday, negative following Sunday.

It certainly wasn't like a cold like some people describe it. Had a cold before getting it.

Think I'm getting worse again
Body aches. Feels like I've had a good beating on a night out. Exhausted. Hope it goes away soon.

Was only a week on Monday since tested positive. Hopefully this week is worst of it. Feel worse this week than when I was testing positive. Managed to work all last week. Just did office work.

Not infected anyone else. Wife and children fine.

My other half still tested positive nearly 10 days after first getting it -she said she'd rarely ever felt that tired although she managed to keep going with a cough and a runny nose .
Still only getting her energy back !!
I on the other hand never really got it I dont think ,only a day tired and slightly achey which may have been it -superspreader me ,they joked

You don't need a vaccine to breeze through this virus.
All of the numerous people I know who caught it whilst unvaccinated (either because before vaccines or chose to remain unvaccinated) has had no more than a cold.
Apart from my 80 year old aunt who has been unable to breathe properly for 20 years...she was admitted to hospital but released after a few days.

Unfortunately us mere mortals have to relay on science to keep us safe.

Eldest son had it last week , triple jabbed and fit as fuk , rough for one day otherwise sore throat and a cold

Daughter has it this week , double jabbed , poleaxed for 3 days , feeling slightly better today

FG. · Feb 23, 2022

I guess its luck of the draw, as it is with a cold/flu.
The four that caught it here 26, 58, 62 & 92 all have sore throat, temp, loss of taste and no energy, but all fine now.
Had paramedic out to mother who wasn't doing well one day.

But I've a chap who does haulage work for me, who's caught it 3 times in 12 months (un-vax) and is about done for, not driving. His sister and kids(vaxed) had it 3 times, very mild symptoms.
Builder(vaxed) who rents a building, had it twice and not seen him since Xmas.
There's loads more I know, but it seems to be about 50/50 mild/bad symptoms.
But the ones that got it bad, are still rough.
