I have read about several people who have been infected with at least two strains at the same time. I imagine it has happened quite a lot but has not been identified.

A bit more info on Covid cases here, it looks like case rates are falling but its a confusing picture being presented due to some of the data being up to two weeks behind what is happening now. Hunt for certainty over Covid cases continues - BBC News

I think this may well account for a drop in numbers. My wife told me yesterday that a nursing home not too far from where we live have had 4 members of staff and 3 patients all tested positive for Covid this week. All staff and patients had been double jabbed, none of them had any symptoms at...

Yes this is good news, does anyone know why this is happening? With the ending more or less of restrictions in England one would expect rates to have increased I wonder why they have not. Could it be that with so many people vaccinated, so many people having caught the virus and also that a...

Went into a Tescos near me this morning, lots of empty shelves worse I have seen it for over a year. Many fresh items out of stock. On a positive note I think we have had 3 or 4 days in a row with declining infection rates and I think its about 7 days since we have had the highest number...

Unfortunately this man died last night he was 54 years old, and I am not aware of any previous underlying health conditions. Although he was over weight he was not what one would describe as obese, he had done manual type work all his life and had that sort of natural fitness that manual...

Yes this is my understanding of how we now do these types of trials.

Although I have not checked the stats myself I have heard several reports that the infection rate in Scotland which was at one time some of the highest in Europe has leveled off and is now starting to come down. If this is the case then does that hold out some hope that the rest of the UK will...

Sorry to hear this John, I too hope you don't end up with long covid. I can't remember where I saw it but I think there is some evidence to show that if you have been double vaccinated but then you go on to get the virus you are less likely to end up with long covid. I suspect over the next...

Watching BJs press conference today I found the following stats given by PV and CW a little surprising. They said after two doses of the vaccine you had 50% protection from catching the virus. This was a lower figure than what I have seen in the past I am sure I had seen you had 70% protection...

Did you post this a week or so too early? ;)

I watched Zahawi on the Marr prog this morning, there was a definite difference in tone from him than what we saw the other day from Jenrik when he said he couldn't wait to get rid of his mask. Zahawi said mask wearing in busy public places would be expected. More details here. Nadhim Zahawi...

I have several family members that work in the NHS, and virtually everyday they are telling me about people catching Covid who have already had both jabs. I am not talking about huge numbers just ones and twos I suspect people that were vaccinated last December or January are going to need a...

Although there are exceptions, I would say the remainer type people I know think its too soon to lift all restrictions but the Brexitier type are all for it. That seems to be the case with people in the public eye, the ones who can't wait to throw away their masks eg. Robert Jenrik, Andrew...

flecc, someone on the link below bought a Nissan Leaf and has done some costings when compared against a Ford Focus take a look and let me know what you think. Monevator - Make more money, invest profitably, retire early

Yes from what I understand, vaccinated people can still catch it and pass it on, and yes you can still become seriously ill with Covid even if you have had both vaccines. The figures I have seen mentioned a few times are as follows. If you have had two doses of the AZ vaccine then you have a...

In a recent Covid briefing Mark Drakeford was asked what will happen to restrictions next month and he said they were likely to move from compulsory to advisory, and that he could see many people likely to carry on wearing masks and social distancing for some time to come. In my area all the...

Government trying to come up with plans to avoid gaps on Supermarket shelves due to Brexit. They are desperate to try and hide the mess that Brexit undoubtedly is. Panic buying leading to food shortages would not be a good look for Boris at the moment. Even a few Brexitiers are starting to...

BJ now trying to claim credit for sacking Hancock, see below. The sad fact is his supporters just like Trump supporters will probably agree with anything he says. Boris Johnson tries to claim credit for Matt Hancock departure | Boris Johnson | The Guardian

Nick Carter is in his early 60s so I assume will have had both jabs, I wonder how long ago he had those injections? If some time ago, is he an example of the immunity wearing off after a few months? It might be just coincidence but over the last couple of weeks there seems to be several people...
