She wants the Oxford one. When asked why she replied, "because it's English". *-) It is cheaper and easier to administer. Err.......the vaccine costs the patient nothing, except time, but I don't think cost was her concern. :-| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulletguy Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 colin - 2021-01-01 3:36 PM Bulletguy - 2021-01-01 2:42 PM Listening to an elderly lady speaking on the radio earlier about the vaccine. She wants the Oxford one. When asked why she replied, "because it's English". *-) She was talking about how they where restricted due to CV-19 and staying inside etc. then went on to say they would be going to nephews for lunch and seeing the kids, I hope they are in the same support bubble. But it strikes me some people are worried about catching CV-19 off strangers whilst out and about, but seem to consider family as safe, our nabour gets regular visits from her daughters and sons family's, considering the local schools where rife with it before Christmas that's a hell of a risk. I don't quite follow this 'bubble' business at all and not altogether sure about it. It just seems another way of excusing socialising. One woman I did feel a great deal of sympathy for was a lady who wanted to spend Christmas with her sister but she was in the 'wrong' tier. The lady was terminally ill and doesn't expect to see next Christmas. :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Daughter and front line Staff, plus the older Nurses working in general healthcare have all had the first vaccination. Stuart ... dry air from central heating can cause many allergies and minor problems. A good 2 hour walk in fresh air works for us every morning. Plus, we have bowls of water down for the dogs, these help to stop the air drying out too much. If you are suffering from minor nasal congestion or 'stuffiness' then use one of the many treatments available. Mental attitude (being generally cheerful) helps too. I just think of bulletguy and joke52, which makes me realise how lucky I am not to be like them and it cheers me up immensely. :D Luckily i’ve had the anti-Gospel virus jab. However that does’nt mean the story is not true. Your daughter may know a couple of people who have had the CV vaccination ,but then not all have had it yet. I am talking about a lot of Staff at a major regional Hospital, my Daughter being one of them. It is increasingly necessary to do this. My Daughter normally works in the Operating Theatre but has also worked many shifts on the Covid Wards in the first bad outbreak. This time around there is better organisation and it is just normally her days off that she works 12 or 13 hour shifts on the one Covid Ward running at the moment. Just lately they have had 30 and 40 year old Covid patients who were not expected to survive, that is why there has been a big push to vaccinate as many as possible because the goalposts have changed recently. NHS staff should absolutely be first but there is much in the system to improve.

It just seems another way of excusing socialising. One woman I did feel a great deal of sympathy for was a lady who wanted to spend Christmas with her sister but she was in the 'wrong' tier. The lady was terminally ill and doesn't expect to see next Christmas. :-( AFAIK the whole idea is, if you have a household with one responsible adult, be that a single household, single parent, or an adult having to look after another full time, then they can have some outside contact with another adult. I can see the logic behind it, but you bet any money you want some will be taking the pee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does’nt really matter who is blaming who the facts still remain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
