Pandemic personal consequences

Did a quick lateral flow in my lunch break. Proper PLC tomorrow pre flight. A load of other people here are going to go on the co-vid wagon (Turkish public bus - 30C, windows locked shut and about 60% unmasked) to go to a pub this afternoon. Can't understand that at all...I just want to get on my flight. Persuaded them to take a taxi rather than the covid mobile.

They seem to have got their act more together regarding vaccine administration. I can't get another, a super booster. I may write a letter to that nice Mr Putin asking for some Sputnik.

Some of the deeper immune responses are thought to be enhanced by leaving a longer gap between some doses. It is true that the stuff that is much easier to measure, such as antibodies in the blood, do start to drop after a few months, so there is a balancing act to be struck between these two different things. I know you didnt originally start down your path of getting more doses than you were supposed to deliberately, but its not something I would encourage you to deliberately persist with.
 
So done 2 lateral flow tests in the last 2 days both negative , got a pcr test sent through this.morning , did it but both.my nearest post offices are closed and the priority post boxes don't pick up until Monday, it's fucking ridiculous

Yeah, I had to turn mine around in 10 minutes, only to get to the Priority Postbox and find it said collections were at 11. But I went into the post office, and they said he was running late with the collections, so I might be lucky. You can call 119, and they can in some cases arrange a courier collection.

There are criteria which apply - "you can't get to a priority postbox without using public transport", for example. Might be worth searching to see where your nearest Sunday collection PP is, first, so you can get your story straight.

Something wrong there, priority post boxes are collected 7-days a week, they are only missing out on Xmas day.
 
I may just post it at my nearest box and we shall see , although still a bit rough I'm feeling much better than the last few days

got a phone call from NHS 119 the bloke picking up my test kit tomorrow is off with corona poor sod. They've gone with an earlier delivery which actually suits because I want to be out in the garden tomorrow with the reasonable weather.
 
Off for my test at the hospital this afternoon. Shame I have to share a taxi with a complete twonk who usually has his mask on his chin. He also spent the entire evening last night in the pub. I can only assume he's already had covid, as can't understand why you'd do that the night before a covid test that you need for travel. If the test is positive, it's not just that we can't get on the flight, we have to quarantine here, alone, in the middle of nowhere, where it's -10C, there's one English channel on TV, the internet is shit, there is no Christmas, and most of the staff are rude and maskless.

I've been managing to avoid him so far. Can't wait for the taxi ride with the window wide open (I'll get moaned at for that too...)
