Covid - news and views

Was it not Macon who was the main voice complaining that he did not want UK citizens in France when we had an outbreak,?

But then we did not have an election looming, as he has

It works both ways

Not at all worried   just as many others who have noted the actions he has taken with Covid variants from other countries ,that Macron  has taken against the citizens from  those countries particularly this one,

I understand that the French variant may be called Pi (Π) but Macron prefers Tarte 😜.

My OH has just received her 4th  Covid jab.I await  mine-both of us having underlying health conditions.She has had them all now-2 Astra Zeneca,one Pfizer and ,to top them off,a Moderna.

No ill effects from any of them for her other than slight headache,such as the flu jab gives you.

She is much more relaxed about going out and about now-albeit always with a  mask on.

Despite 3 Pfizer jabs and" precautions" I caught a stinking cold  over Christmas .It was not Covid ,as I was tested and tested again -at the OH's insistence.

So,Life goes on and you can still catch an ordinary cold -just like I do most Christmas times!

I don’t see anything wrong with stopping an influx of visitors from heavily infected areas-its common sense. The Countries that don’t adopt those protective options are the ones to worry about. I’ve never been a xenophobe, I am European but welcome all nationalities who won’t import diseases or Coronavirus to the UK👍🏻

Absolutely agree - what Boris and Macron (and others of course) have done is to (in their judgement) protect their citizens as far as is possible. And it's often quoted that the first job of government is to do exactly that.

We can, and have done, argue about the effectiveness of measures taken by different governments,  but that's a separate issue.

Finger pointing at individuals and particular nations achieves absolutely nothing.

Had a phone call yesterday to say I was eligible for a fourth jab . I agreed and the nurse was at the front door within an hour and the job was done. I didn't ask what Vaccine it was and neither did I have an additional card to say what it was. All alright as far as I am concerned ,however my Son is very anxious over the lack of information I am without.
