The only difference is she had a booster 3 months ago where as I had mine last week. the swabbing method is always going to be inconsistent - a darker line simply means that you got more viral material out your nose and onto the swab than your missus - doesn't mean that one of you is more or less infected than the other Gritstone Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was worried when I saw people linking feint lines to booster jabs! (Assuming that boosters a not linked to protein spikes, whatever they are!) ?

Why would you tell the AA you have Covid? If they're changing your tyre you're out in the open air - just keep a little distance from them. But I'm glad Derby will have cheered you up!

therealhantsram Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 On 12/12/2021 at 08:46, therealhantsram said: What this and @GboroRam stats mean that it's impossible to extrapolate from the South Africa experience to predict what will happen here. There are too many variables. S.A has a young population, low vaccination rates and high levels of infection from Delta. U.K. has old population, high vaccination rates and low levels of infection from Delta. All we can do is watch and wait. There seems to be an emerging picture that suggests something the UK and South Africa have in common may be resulting in lower death rates in both countries.... the use of Astra Zeneca as the main vaccine first-time around. Other countries that didn't use AZ are seeing much higher death rates from Omicron. Some researchers suggesting that the way the body reacts to AZ means the immunity sticks around for much longer. ariotofmyown and RoyMac5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxjam Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 A number of MPs are all spouting virtually the same incorrect narrative - Jamie Jenkins has highlighted many on his twitter account over the past few weeks. Given they have been fact checked numerous times now and the correct data is easily accessible to all on the offficial Govt website I can only conclude that they are all either extremely incompetent or they are hoping the lie becomes so overwhelming that enough people believe it, justifying further restrictions.

I don't even get the argument. In a normal winter, when the NHS tell us they are overhelmed, what number of people in hospital with flu are not vaccinated against it? I do not remember this figure being pushed by the media ever. The NHS is there to look after sick people, and the reasons behind their sickness should be irrelevant.

alexxxxx Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 To be fair, as a proportion the vaccinated are being admitted at higher rates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
