Is a booster every six months a big deal on an individual level? It's an expense the government and the NHS don't need. But it's not that big a deal is it, maybe 2 hours out of your day in a year?

[Commie Bobbie]

So do we think that they're going to go for some form of breaker say the middle of next week, or will they just think - they've got through Christmas, they'll just push through and deal with whatever happens?

I would put money on a 2 week breaker from the 27th because he hasn't got the nads to go any earlier, he's not following the science anymore, he's doing what's best for himself the fat greasy bumbling wankstain.

Israel's committee of experts voted tonight to recommend a FOURTH dose of Pfizer's vaccine to over-60s, immunocompromised people and healthcare workers, from 4 months after the third dose.
Arieh Kolver - Twitter.

Meh. I really hope this isn't the future. (I got my booster on the weekend)

UK already offers a 4th dose (booster) to one of those groups, the clinically extremely vulnerable  - whose primary vaccine course was 3 doses.

How long is it taking to get PCR results back these days?

[JerseyKloppite]

Hasn’t been funny for a long time and needs to be binned off. A few decent posts/posters with genuine questions look like mentalists because of the mods’ cracking sense of humour. No one’s talking about whatever the fuck that film(?) is, and I only know it exists because of this shite

Won't somebody please stop the mods? Their sense of humour is ruining this site.

Appears a postcode lottery. Know people waiting three days, know people waiting 20 hours

Last one we had was a couple of weeks ago and it was 24 hours, think the aim is still 24-48 though you wouldn't be surprised to see some longer waits this week.

we did a drive through a week ago and it took just over 24hrs.

Depends on hospitalisations I guess, as well as other aspects.

I had to wait about three days.

These things put the club in a difficult position.

It would if they were employed by the club, but they no longer are so I don't really see any issues affecting Liverpool if some one-season striker very few will remember is talking shite on Instagram.

It's just something no former employer can have any control over.

If the science says the vulnerable are safer going that way then its a no brainer.
 You were correct taking the booster, but I doubt those of us in good health will need a shot any more than once a year at most.

[Bincey]

Yeh, the mobile sites are the quickest usually, then local/regional sites. Obviously home testing takes the longest.

All I remember about Lambert was he had an unblemished penalty record until he missed the first one he took for us.

Always felt bad for him, him coming to us could have been a lovely story. In the end any time I see a picture of him it just reminds me of one of the lowest times of being a Liverpool fan in my life. Those kits bring back horrible memories. Mad how quick we went from Suarez and Sturridge to Lambert, Balotelli and Benteke and then, thank god, to Jurgen.

Why haven't you had your covid jab?

you forget, our Swedish friend has a tip top immune system that most professional athletes aspire to have so he doesn't need to be vaccinated!

He also lives in the middle of nowhere, and goes to the shops late at night when there is nobody else around

[Snail]

I had to wait about three days.

Was that a drive-through / walk in or home test? Went Wavertree this morning for a test and my employer's pressuring me to let them know the result so I can come back in the office, for two and a half days, on public transport.

[darragh85]

which booster vaccine is the best to get?

That was a home test, my friend then posted it for me in one of the selected post boxes. That was probably why it took me longer to get the result.

[Red Beret]

Caught glimpses of the headlines on the right wing rags today in the newsagent. Fuck me, they have a thing against scientists, don't they?  Lauding the government for not cancelling Christmas.

Who will they blame when the system is at breaking point in January? Immigrants, or Corbyn?

Best outcome from all perspectives - the politician died "free", the healthcare system has one more bed available, the society has one less person who can transmit the disease, the freedom versus restrictions debate has one more solid argument... I can't think of a single wrong aspect...

[King_doggerel]

looks like i have contracted this bloody virus, PCR test result due tomorrow. It's hit me like a freight train, i'm just so tired!

i suspect i caught it on the flight home. fortunately i booked a self quarantine apartment initially for a few days but it looks like i will spend Christmas here.

It's very unfortunate as I am double jabbed since September.

How can I ride this through?

Don't let your mood down before you get the PCR results back. There is a strong cold that may have hit you, not Covid (re: Hendo). Take vitamins and zinc, if you have access to that.

And if it happens that it is Covid, your double-jab will go a long way to prevent you from going to a hospital and getting more severe symptoms (or worse). Then it would be the time to think what would have been had you not had the double-jab. Stay strong. The timing is unfortunate, but it's under no one's control. Try to make the best of it - raise virtual toasts with family and friends, talk to them, share stories... It's an experience that you will be telling about the next generations. Chin up, mate! Merry Christmas (it comes everywhere)!

Apparently the 28th is the earliest it can realistically be done due to timings around recalling Parliament.

[PaulF]

You think he would bother with little things like getting parliament to agree?

--edit-- although. To be fair. If the science says we should do it. I don't see that a press conference changing the rules would really be an issue.  Might piss off a lot of his mps though.

That really sucks.

Wait on the result of the PCR obviously, lots of other viral infections that can give you fatigue. Have you got any other symptoms?

In the meantime order yourself a delivery of paracetamol, ibuprofen and multivitamins, or get someone to drop them round. None of them are cures but the first two can help with symptoms and the vitamins can help get your body back on track a little quicker. Don’t take more than recommended though obviously. Staying hydrated is big one, drink plenty of water.

You’ll be fine, but don’t hesitate to contact 111 if your symptoms get worse (if in UK) - they’ll have some good advice for you. Call them now if you think you should and ask for their opinion. Call them again if you have any doubts later on or are feeling worse, that’s what they are there for.

Hopefully you’ve got some wifi there so you could do some video contact if it does come back positive?

Oh, and order delivery of a box of lateral flow tests - guidance will likely change so that isolation can be 7 days rather than 10, if you are symptom free and have a negative lateral flow test on day 7 (not confirmed yet though).

[filopastry]

Johnson isn't going to pull the trigger on any further restrictions unless he has to, he knows its political suicide for him to do it given the current number of extremists on this issue in the Tory party, I would imagine clinging on to his job is a much higher priority than anything else to a sociopath like Johnson.

He might even luck his way out of it, cases seems to have levelled out, looking at cases by sample date there may even be some signs of declines although that would depend on reporting lags to some degree, the data on hospitalisations and ICU occupancy doesn't look too awful so far.

There remains a hell of a lot of uncertainty, but I think there is at least a possible path out of this with no further restrictions without completely overwhelming the NHS.

[lamad]

Also one less right wing political agitator, so yeah, a win-win. I am usually not one for wishing bad things, least of all death, even on shitty people. But in this case he fell victim to nature, so fair play to the virus. It would be to all our advantage if the little fucker acted selective like that more often.

Edit: According to the article the AfD said that he "without a doubt knew about the risk. But he decided against the vaccination because freedom was more important to him". I posted recently about this throwing around of this misinterpreted - veering to just plain wrong - 'freedom' argument, as it is being discussed here by some. Especially the AfD talking about freedom is taking the absolute cake though: They'd be the first who would curtail all kinds of (real) freedoms if it was in their power. Everytime I hear one of them utter "freedom!!" on tv I could puke. Jeez I fucking despise this party. Sorry for sounding aggressive, I know Christmas is supposed to be all lovey dovey and forgiving, but that right wing shit drives me up the wall.

[filopastry]

How long is it taking to get PCR results back these days?

I just did one at a walk on Monday, took about 30 hours, unfortunately the result just said it couldn't be read so needs to be performed again so maybe not that useful! Not implying massive lags in the system though (at least for in-person testing)

[LFC when it suits]

Spot on.

I think those advocating Anti-vax thinking and especially those who are actively taking direct action to such as filling spaces to get jabbed only to not do are no better than ISIS.

Both dangers to society.

Are you taking the piss with the ISIS comparison?

I asked the question a few days ago, but seemed to have slipped into the maelstrom of the recent situation regarding this new variant. It's this that is my chief concern, and was wondering if anyone with a bit of insight on here can inform me where I stand regarding the booster. This thing is spreading rapidly, and I'm roughly just two weeks out from being viable for the three month period since my second jab, which I received on the 2nd of October. It feels like being caught between a rock and a hard place given that it takes two weeks for the vaccine to do its thing. My mother has also yet to receive her booster, and it appears she's come down with what she described to me as a cold and I've been in very close contact with her. Yes, test and all that will the obvious response, but will it matter if I'm just two weeks out from being eligible, or could I still receive it regardless? If not, will my two shots of Moderna at least have some kind of efficacy, given the second dose was just in October, should I come down with this c*nt?

Morning mate... assuming that you are in England (rules differ slightly for the rest of the UK). You can receive your booster only from 3 months after the 2nd dose, but you can make a booking now as you are more than 2 months since having your 2nd jab. For more details, see the following link.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-55045639

As far as efficacy against Omicron goes, all reports that I've seen indicate that being double jabbed may not impact much on becoming infected but will definitely help reduce your chances of illness/symptoms, etc if you do catch it.

Not sure whether you can get the booster a few weeks earlier have you tried Googling the question? Sometimes you can get an answer that way. What I will say is just keep testing, as it doesn’t always show up immediately. It didn’t with me, it took three days of doing a lateral before it showed positive. Just know if you do get Covid you have to wait 28 days before getting a booster. As you have had two vaccines you should be fine, I was due to go for my booster two days after my PCR result came back positive. I’m getting the booster tonight.
