Re: The Covid19 thread
This is a worry, people in Brazil who recovered from covid infection last year got infected again by a new variant... Thanks China, for giving us a novel virus from you lab that just keeps mutating...

Re: The Covid19 thread
I suppose the bigger question is not about the mutations, but the effectiveness/deadliness of the Virus and the symptoms that go with it

Re: The Covid19 thread
Most people I have spoken to who had AZ have had few side effects,, the ones who had Pfizer however - terrible. I have read that second dose of Pfizer can have side effects worse than the first shot - not much to look forward to.

Re: The Covid19 thread
According to the Covid presentation I saw on Thursday (run by the org doing the research into side effects); both vaccines report side effects in the same range as placebos.
AZ one was higher on first dose and early indications are Pfizer one is worse on the second. Sent from an S20 using Tapatalk with that kin cr4p blocked

Re: The Covid19 thread
My wife had a couple of days of illness with the first dose (AZ) but had been told that side-effects are worse if you've already had Covid (which she did over Christmas). I guess that could explain why the second dose is worse.

Re: The Covid19 thread
Maybe we were lucky in southeast Spain during the previous waves - guess we were when I think of how bad it was in Madrid a year ago. This current wave, finally dropping away, has seen a number of friends and neighbours catch it, several of which have died. Yes, the majority of our friends are of pensionable age, and in the more vulnerable bracket but flippin 'eck this last month has been bloody scary.
As for the jab; Andalucia have said if you're not registered on the Spanish Health System you have to go to your home country for the jab. As under 65's we don't qualify for the Health System, and pay for private health insurance. If we were on the System they're just doing the 80 to 84 age bracket.
