Coronavirus in the UK - news, lockdown and discussion

Got booster booked for the 22nd. Just seen on FB that the same venue is doing walk ins. At the moment just for people vacced prior to July 1st. May try on Friday though.(My second was Jul 19th.) Would obviously like to get it done ASAP.

I am trying to get my head around the idea of giving everyone a booster jab by the end of the year.

I know the figures have been drifting upwards, averaging just over 400k jabs a day in the last 7-days. I am also aware they have been recruiting for 10,000 more paid positions, plus volunteers, since two weeks ago, with more sites & slots becoming available from today, but I assumed all this was to reach the target of over 500k a day.

The new target means they will need to average around a million per day, from now until 31st Dec., I can't see how they are likely to achieve anywhere near that figure this week, then there's the problem of Christmas getting in the way. :hmm:

And probably just a few people self isolating...

Thanks. Yeah just checked. has a doctorate in nursing. And TBF he on his channel blurb, now I've looked more closely doesn't claim to be a medical doctor and says stuff like this.

And went fully down the Invermectin rabbit hole - which is clearly profitable - he's got 1.8 MILLION subs ...

I continue to like Victor Racaniello and TWIV - with only 103 K - though a lot of it is aimed at scientists ...

"the average YouTuber with 100k subscribers can make $12,000 or more per sponsored video."

real, real money in a youtube grift these days
 
I feel his credentials are good. No matter. If you listen to what he is saying, make your own mind up. He suggests we are all going to get it again.

The problem no matter the severity is the sheer number of people that are getting sick unless we lock down again, which Austria has shown is very effective.

I now know more people with Covid-19 than at any time since the beginning.
 
I did a PCR test at a site yesterday. Not heard back yesterday which is fine, but hopefully tomorrow. I didn't write my name etc on the bag but hopefully it's all been done he took my dob etc. Do you get confirmation texts that the samples been received? Or is it just waiting for the result? Last time I got a text about 20 minutes later, but think they were doing it all on the site then.

highly unlikely with any sort of regularity
sponsored video also means someone would want to specifically target your channel and audience, which is also unlikely for nutjobs

Just one text with the result - sometimes same day, sometimes next morning, sometimes the day after that.
 
reputable companies with that sort of money to spend on one video, probably wouldn't.
anyway, they won't be selling sponsored videos they just get money from the automatic google ads youtube serves. nowhere near as lucrative but you're obviously doing ok if you're getting 100k+ views.

In very recent experience, of a few different people and both walk-in and home tests, they're taking longer atm.
