A neighbour of ours passed away with COVID this week, we had known her for many years, she was in her early 70’s..very sad.

I spoke to guy I work with earlier today, he’s been off work for the best part of 3 weeks after catching Covid, he said it’s the illest he’s ever been. He took some precautions, but didn’t do the masks etc when he should have and he was very ill. No underlying health conditions and is very fit. I have another 2 mates who’ve said exactly the same thing, it’s strange because I know others who had very mild symptoms. Stay safe and take precautions.

Just to reiterate that the new variants are about twice as infective (from real data not models) and that there appears to be a slight reduction in protection from previous exposure. Too few vaccinated to know if there is less protection, but initial studies suggest there is some reduction (though the vaccines should still work). ONS suggests 12% of people have antibodies now, this is well below the 60-70% needed for herd immunity, and well below even the number for a partial effect.

Take care, keep clean and wear a bloody mask. If you are offered the vaccine for god's sake have it.

At least people have shut up about Sweden. The second wave is a bigger problem in Africa this time. Heard from a colleague in Malawi that they are at breaking point, whereas had only a few cases back in March-June.
