shoulder isn’t as sore as the first time either, yet anyways...

Left or right shoulder?

Got the pfizer jab this morning (first one) in the left shoulder. Bit sore this evening.
I'm starting to wonder now if I got it in the right shoulder would it have been better.
Left shoulder being closer to your heart and it's where pain starts if a heart attack is about to occur.

I got in the left as that was the side closest to the nurse the way the chair was put beside the table.
But she did give me the preference whichever way.
But being handy I rolled up the left sleave of the t-shirt and said jab away.

Got the first jab today. Shoulder abit sore. A few belts of fatigue today but that could just be the laziness tho

Left, as I’m right handed...

Shoulder is a bit sore, but not too bad.

Am tired, but it’s hard to know if that’s standard tired or more cos I didn’t sleep well cos I couldn’t sleep on my left side cos of the shoulder or vaccine tired

I think it’s more my sleep was disturbed to be honest...

Still, happy to have both jabs got...

Seems the U.K. are going to throw caution to the wind on the 19th no matter what.
It’s an experiment on a massive scale, essentially throwing out all protections simultaneously while the delta variant is already running uncontrollably among the unvaccinated.

Was with a client yesterday, young man, maybe 52/53

Morbidity obese, copd, diabetes and problems with high blood pressure.

Hasn’t bothered with the vaccine, says he must get round to it but with silage and that hasn’t had the time.

newholland mad

Got my 2nd last week, the nurse was saying for the first jabs the no show rate is high but for the 2nd the no show rate is virtually zero, she said a lady before me drove especially from Galway to carlow from work to get it.

On one hand fair play to them for kicking on we’re all going to have to do it.cases are up but the link to high hospitalisation and deaths is broken …there doing what we should be aiming to do …live with Covid ….on other hand throwing caution to the wind no masks ,social distancing etc is madness at current time and could come back to bite them
Can see us flaffing around till September October making half arsed attempts to get back to normal then normal flu season is back and then where …
Talking to 2 people over last few days who are back after few days away both double jabbed ….both tested positive after been in close contact to confirmed case ..mild symptoms so far feel run down and sniffling and snorting

Two thoughts on “normal flu season”

Firstly as people already know it’s a different thing amd by testing they can tell if it’s what we call flu or covid

Secondly, with masks and hand hygiene we kicked the ass of “normal flu” this season gone bye amd so avoided allot of deaths, is there a learning there, are we going to go back to accepting those deaths again or maybe carry over some measures that minimise them.

By that logic the sale of alcohal and tabacoo should be immediately banned, why should we be accepting these deaths either, both kill multiples of covid and the flu combined year in year out

It might be indicative of his general attitude to his health. It doesn’t seem to be a priority for some people.

Are we surprised? With the exception of their vaccine rollout they have handled it very badly. Reluctant to shut down and determined to open up early no mater what the figures say. They have repeated that cycle a few times now and have failed to learn from it.

The fact that outside of short spell around Christmas country was practically shut down and people were mixing at very low levels was a bigger reason I think …wearing of masks etc definetly helped too

I read on TFF there was an 800% spike in cases in Cornwall after the G7 or whatever it's called. Their Govt denying it had anything to do with that event.

There's a piece allegedly by cNN doing the rounds comparing Johnson to Lord Farquhar from Shrek "Some of you may die, but it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make"

There's most likely no truth at all in that. Flu had come to be very reliant on on seasonal migration with international travel instead of relying on local diversity for new strains. It will return to previous levels either way if given time.

Hand washing, disinfecting, masks, isolating etc all helped with normal flu, but as you say, air travel ( or the lack of it) probably the biggest factor.
Dosen't the flu shot we receive here in Europe get altered every year to account for the latest variant coming out of Asia?

Lambda variant on the way now.
