Covid Problems

[barry1010]

I have just had a very upset elderly relative on the phone wanting to know why I haven't invited her for her regular Sunday lunch now we have all had the second Covid jab. She informs me she is back to her old routine visiting friends and getting out and about - and why not as she is now immune?

She does not believe me when I tell her that she can still catch Covid. Even if she shows no symptoms she can still pass it on. As I have very vulnerable people in my home I cannot allow visitors yet although I'm happy to meet up with her in her garden if she keeps her distance.
She feels insulted. I feel very worried that there are a lot of older people like her who believe they can back to the way things were before Covid, forget about masks and social distancing.

I'm going to have to send her flowers and a card.

Apparently the reduction in infection numbers has nothing to do with the vaccination programme but is instead due to a successful lockdown:

PM did indeed say that

and as ever the data out there will confirm or deny

we have had three down strokes of the waves.
and vacc was introduced in Jan 21 - so uf there is a kink down ( cliff or edge ) in that then vacc is responsible and you can tell from the down stroke gradient what its contribution was

this wave - the down stroke is at a different angle ( more steep) and the degree of that compared - to previous down strokes will again quantify the effect of vacca

it is not rocket science as einstein once said
