NHS woes

[Mottie]

I had my fifth covid jab on Monday (along with the flu jab) based on the other four covid jabs keeping me alive and out of hospital. Keep 'em coming, I say.

My C&F are scheduled for the Saturday 30th, at the GP's. Was that one combined jab, or two?

Because they are easily treatable, not easily spread unless sexual contact takes place and generally they don’t kill thousands of innocent people so not worth spending money on developing vaccines for them.

But why have they never come up with a vaccine for Syphilis

Science Falls Behind as Syphilis Stages Another Comeback

Syphilis is among the oldest known sexually-transmitted infections. Scientists still struggle to detect and treat it.

Two. One in each arm. Could’ve had them both in the same arm if I wanted though.

Does any one even test for covid anymore ? All seems to be forgotten about .....

Yes if you're old or otherwise vulnerable, worth keeping test kits especially as the more virulent strain recently caused concern.

Yes. No point spreading it unnecessarily.

Wife got hers in the same arm the other day.

What does one do if old / vulnerable and tested positive? Apart from 'staying home'

 

[Stadan20]

Yes. No point spreading it unnecessarily.

Do we not have to pay for the privilege of testing nowadays ?

Free from where I work. That might not be the same for everyone.

I got one kit, then a second one, when the pharmacists were keen to give them out. I used the first one or two, just working out how to use them, them. I finally got a positive a few month back, testing while feeling a bit 'off colour', cleared with negative from the same pack later. The second kit, is tucked away somewhere.

do you religiously test ? I remember jobs being cancelled left right and center due to customers having covid , walking into houses seeing test kits, hearing poeple moan about 'catching 'it . All seems a thing of the past to me . Can't remember the last time some one mentioned they had covid , or even seeing a test kit lying around , makes me wonder how they still get all of the data

do you religiously test ?

Just like before, it isn't very often at all. Maybe twice this year.
