COVID Thread

I feel your pain dude. Same shit here every few weeks. And somehow we've been stuck at like 55% fully vaxxed for several months now.

We're STILL stuck at 52% fully vaccinated. I could hunt it down but I'm pretty sure we were 50% fully vaccinated back in August. They pulled all the restrictions after that first wave and everybody assumed it was over. Now they're not bothering anymore because they can't be bothered to get vaccinated.

Bunch of blithering idiots.

Going for my booster tomorrow morning.

Scientists have said a new Covid variant that carries an “extremely high number” of mutations may drive further waves of disease by evading the body’s defences.

Only 10 cases in three countries have been confirmed by genomic sequencing, but the variant has sparked serious concern among some researchers because a number of the mutations may help the virus evade immunity.

The B.1.1.529 variant has 32 mutations in the spike protein, the part of the virus that most vaccines use to prime the immune system against Covid. Mutations in the spike protein can affect the virus’s ability to infect cells and spread, but also make it harder for immune cells to attack the pathogen.
