The 'summer virus' is mysterious. The same thing happened last September. People have been on holidays but with all the measures and distancing how is it spreading?Yes, I wonder why our infection rates are so high compared to other countries in Europe despite over 80% of our population aged over 12 being vaccinated.
My own family and friends have come down with sore throats, runny noses, headaches and tiredness in recent weeks. They have all had Covid tests and none tested positive. All vaccinated.
It's like a summer flu.
Kids are back in school.The 'summer virus' is mysterious. The same thing happened last September. People have been on holidays but with all the measures and distancing how is it spreading?
I know I'm not. The risk of serious infection and death has reduced significantly and my actions have changed accordingly.I feel that I'm more careful now than I was a year ago
I think that we are the same. We still take the same precautions as we did before vaccination and will continue to do so. We will tread lightly as we go and slowly we will ease the precautions that we are taking until the daily cases drop significantly.Personally I think it's down to peoples letting their guard down now that they been vaccinated
The efficacy is around 80% so for me that means 2 out of every 10 people could be potential carriers
I feel that I'm more careful now than I was a year ago as I don't know what my personal efficacy is
Oh I get that, I just wonder about its source \ repository. Is it a new virus, or a virus being kept alive in circulation somewhere.Kids are back in school.
I've a family member working in one of the hospital labs who says there has been a large spike in viral infection, many of our extended family have gotten it and the kids are the vectors.
Just another evolution of the ever-present virus that typically hits hardest in winter after schools go back.Oh I get that, I just wonder about its source \ repository. Is it a new virus, or a virus being kept alive in circulation somewhere.
This is where I differ from you and I presume most of the people, the risk as I believe it is now at BEST 20%, so 20% of vaccinated people will get the virus, which they tell is like having the flu and 5% of those infections will likely require hospitalization and I'm not sure what the percentage of those end up in ICU and what the death rate is of those poor unfortunates.I know I'm not.

Indeed I do, and I remember the seeing some of his anti smoking ads as well. I'm remembering the one where he said something likeRemember Larry Hagman (JR Ewing in the television series Dallas).

I wish I was that confident. I still believe, rightly or wrongly, that the chances of me picking up something in a pub to be pretty high. I would still look to sit outside or visit during a quiet afternoon.I'm not hand sanitising anywhere near as much as before. Not because I don't care but because it's been shown to be pointless.
I still wear a mask all day in work but I go to pubs and restaurants and I don't worry about catching Covid at all.
I have to agree with you here, I don't sanitise at all really compare to most people I seeI'm not hand sanitising anywhere near as much as before. Not because I don't care but because it's been shown to be pointless.
sitting outside possibly sitting with unvaccinated people,I wish I was that confident. I still believe, rightly or wrongly, that the chances of me picking up something in a pub to be pretty high. I would still look to sit outside or visit during a quiet afternoon.
I set outside because the atmosphere is better but with windows open and social distancing in place I'm not concerned.I wish I was that confident.
