@R1spam the pandemic has messed everyone up.. people are finding their feet now. Everyones acting like a bit of an **s hole. Get out and let off some steam.
Someone in the office tested positive for covid-19 the other day. Luckily no else has yet and I will keep testing over the next few days just to be on the safe side.

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
Booked to have my booster (3rd shot in UK) on Monday. I seem to have a decent immune system and rarely pick up colds but the scaremongering reports in the media about this new variant have led me to think its for the best.
I got my booster at a walk in place today. Got moderna this time but I had Pfizer for my first two jabs.
I was a bit apprehensive about getting a different jab because Pfizer seemed to do the job and I didn't too many side effects (droopy face aside) but the lady said Moderna offered better protection. Then I also thought I might eventually end up like this guy so I just went with Moderna
@ralphdibny@Voltan Got mine booked for Thursday. I've heard mixed things about getting a different vaccine for the booster, but trying not to listen to stuff too much, and just go with the flow.

@Voltan@JohnnyShoulder yeah I heard that too back when they were first testing it. I also try not to read too much into the hearsay. Even official guidance seems to change frequently. I just follow whatever I was doing before but a bit more lax now that I've had 2 (and actually now 3) jabs.
I've stopped wiping down all my shopping when I get it indoors now at least 😅
@ralphdibny It was never medically or scientifically proven about the whole surfaces thing and covid. I just cleanse my hands after putting my shopping away, which makes more sense.

@JohnnyShoulder I got a different vaccine for my booster on Saturday morning (it was Pfizer and my two jabs were Astra) and the doctor said that was the "optimum combination" for fighting Covid.
Although I suppose he would say that, he's not going to go "okay so this is the least effective combo against the Covid, so good luck mate"
@Gremio108 Yeah it would be a worry if they said "Well good luck out there with that combination!"
It reminds me, whenever I see the signs telling people not to abuse the staff at the vaccine centres, I'm always flabbergasted the lows humanity will go to. Who in their right mind starts abusing staff (some of them volunteers) just trying to help people? I just don't get it.
