It’s not me looking for something to feel hard done by despite things going well.Stevo_666 said:

Maybe if I'd said it was a big pay rise and bonus I could understand that, as good fortune and success is usually frowned on in here. But I didn't. Might have been a fiver for all you know, so don't get all Cake Stop resentful on me for no good reasonrjsterry said:

I was just pointing RJS's slightly sniffy attitude. Bit like yours really...

Don’t cry too much that people didn’t censored in the way you wanted them to. Life can be disappointing when your career is going well and people aren’t openly resenting you for it in the way you want them to. You’ll just have to settle for the straw men.1 -
No worries. I think it was FA who reacted to your post; I was reacting to him. I'd be in the wrong industry if I begrudged people getting bonuses. A good bonus season is good for business.Stevo_666 said:

Donating on that WHO site is very quick. You don’t have to remember to donate - you just donate if you can afford to. I don’t even get bonuses!
Would be quicker if they’d integrated ApplePay properly to capture some details before trying to take payment - well, it didn’t work for me via that method anyway.
Most sites like UNICEF, etc it’s donate > email + one other bit of info > double-tap > FaceID > done. About 10s max.
Not quite sure what they’ve done wrong on GoGiveOne, but they need to correct it.0 -
Just had my first AZ vaccine. It feels good to be up to speed with all the old farts on here now:)0

Yes it was me. I wasn't sniffy about the rise and the bonus, only the crass delivery.rjsterry said:

AZ #2 for me on Tuesday.0 -
I had my second AZ on Saturday evening felt pretty crap yesterday. Ok today l had no side effects at all from the first one.0

Varies a lot. Had my second Pfizer jab on Friday last week and had no noticeable side effects (first time was just mild side effects). Anyhow, sorted now until the Autumn booster shots.webboo said:I had my second AZ on Saturday evening felt pretty censored yesterday. Ok today l had no side effects at all from the first one.

Hug but be cautious, England told today that it will be told next week.
I guess the affect of this kind of advanced messaging is built in now - a bit like how lots of people go ~10mph over the limit. Still seems silly though.- Genesis Croix de Fer

Or alternatively get a lateral flow test delivered to the house for free and give it a go before licking people.1

I'm taking one this evening as am headed into the office tomorrow. Already had 2 jabs but only takes a few minutes.john80 said:Or alternatively get a lateral flow test delivered to the house for free and give it a go before licking people.

Guardian is reporting 4, up 3 from last week. And on the same page they are reporting zero.rick_chasey said:No corona deaths in the UK today
Either way what we are largely seeing are deaths of those remaining in hospital from earlier in the year, rather than new hospitalisations from new cases.
What we should start to see next are new cases rising, but not many new hospitalisations and not many deaths out of those not many hospitalisations. That's that acid test.0 -

It's still a stunning gap between the UK and most other places, and not shrinking very much.

At 0.14 per million per day covid deaths, that's now approx twice the daily death rate from road accidents (2020) stats. How much lower required before it becomes just another norm?0

Well past that stage, I would put that number at about 200 a day or 10% of annual deathsorraloon said:At 0.14 per million per day covid deaths, that's now approx twice the daily death rate from road accidents (2020) stats. How much lower required before it becomes just another norm?

The interesting thing on that graph is the USA as they are on a par with us for jabs and have no lockdown.briantrumpet said:rick_chasey said:No corona deaths in the UK today

They are still behind on total number of people with at least one jab (and were well behind for quite some time), and are starting to reach vaccine-resistant parts of the population, I gather. The blinder that the UK played was getting first jabs out as quickly as possible to as many people as possible: I suspect the figures now are the result of that, to a large degree.

I just read something about the prevalence and spread of new variants, basically saying we should have actually closed our borders. Hopefully it won't pan out too badly. As has been mentioned, we will have to have top up jabs to combat new variants, hopefully the vaccination program can stay ahead of the curve.0 -

What weight would you give to their vaccines being more effective and the greater number of fully dosed people?
To me it is a warning to the open up brigade and time to have a discussion about the acceptable level of deaths0 -
If you're fully vaccinated (3 weeks after second dose), theres no evidence of any reason you shouldn’t just get on with life as normal. No variant so far beats the vaccine.
If you aren't, even if it's not going to kill you, I'd still advise being relatively careful to not catch it. It's still a cunt.1 -
I don't think you can look at the current ~7% in isolation, it's the long period of being 10-15% ahead that adds up in terms of effect.surrey_commuter said:briantrumpet said:surrey_commuter said:
