I'm not even sure how we get notified...I would love to get vaccinated but so far only crickets. Non of my clients have heard anything either.

That new variant is very contagious. It is about to upload its fury in this country.....From lowest in Europe a month ago to now having the highest incidence in THE WORLD.![]()
It wasn’t the new variant. It was our government deciding to open up everything in early December for Christmas so retail and restaurants could make a quick buck when case numbers weren’t low enough. And allowing home visits at the same time.That new variant is very contagious. It is about to upload its fury in this country.....

The government here did this against the advice of its expert committee and now the government here is trying to gaslight us that it was all down to the new variant.Oddly now in Germany media and politicians are all panicky about the new mutation, because of what happened in GB and Ireland without anyone EVER mentioning that there were massive lifting of restrictions in both countries in December to go along with it
Even though I have to say if it keeps us from having bad ideas about reopening things in February, that may very well be a good thing.
I wish some of the leaders in this country would buy a clue what is happening in the UK and make wise decisions..Oddly now in Germany media and politicians are all panicky about the new mutation, because of what happened in GB and Ireland without anyone EVER mentioning that there were massive lifting of restrictions in both countries in December to go along with it

How are things looking for kids now in the UK? If I remember correctly, there was an early concern that children could catch & spread this variant more easily than the previous one? Are more children sick? Are schools closed there right now or open? I'm assuming that if more kids were getting serious symptoms or hospitalized that we would have heard because it would be really bad news, but I realized that I haven't heard anything in the press here about the new variant being a more serious problem with youth.I wish some of the leaders in this country would buy a clue what is happening in the UK and make wise decisions..
I believe schools in the UK are closed.Are schools closed there right now or open?
I was thinking of carrying a spray bottle around and spraying people without masks who got too close to me. But I was planning just to put water into it. That's because I didn't want to get arrested for hurting someone (or to hurt them for that matter) by spraying something they were allergic to.
That's been my attitude. If it this is what it takes to get people to take this ***** seriously, I'll go with it.Even though I have to say if it keeps us from having bad ideas about reopening things in February, that may very well be a good thing.

Covid: When will schools reopen?
Schools are currently closed across the UK to most pupils.www.bbc.com
The only exceptions will be the children of critical workers and those deemed vulnerable, who will be able to physically go to school each day. The government has clarified this can include children without access to a laptop at home or a quiet place to study.
I called my local clinic today. The secretary had me call the local health department. The lady at the health department said they expect to start the next phase in a couple days. She put me on the list & is calling me back.I'm not even sure how we get notified...
This is actually incorrect. The NSW strategy is suppression and the low numbers show that NSW has successfully suppressed a second wave for a second time.New South Wales has escaped a full-blown second wave and the Northern Beaches are now out of lockdown but the state is, as usual, chugging along with a low level of community transmission cases (five today) that could blow up into a high level at any point, but refusing to entertain the idea of suppression, unlike all the other states and territories. Thanks, Gladys.
No, I said suppression because I meant suppression. No state in Australia can aim for elimination because we all consistently have new cases coming in from returning travellers, but we can aim for suppression of community transmission as a baseline and work back towards that as fast as possible any time the ***** escapes from containment. NSW, in contrast to every other state and territory, has demonstrated over and over that while it may talk about suppression, in practice it considers that while no community transmission would be lovely, it's unrealistic, and that a few cases a day - with occasional clusters breaking out and taking quite a while to tail off as a result of those cases being present - is a tenable situation. That is not suppression; it's toleration and attempted management of low-level spread.This is actually incorrect. The NSW strategy is suppression and the low numbers show that NSW has successfully suppressed a second wave for a second time.
All the other states are going for elimination - did you mean to say elimination rather than suppression? I also wish NSW would go for elimination!
Meanwhile we have started testing air crew on arrival (local and foreign). How have we only just started this?! Apparently airlines have been threatening not to fly into Australia because when their staff test positive, they have to be quarantined and the remainder of the crew as “close contacts” aren’t allowed to fly passengers home. A higher percentage of air crew have been testing positive than passengers...and until recently they were relied on to self isolateThis is why the northern beaches residents all staunchly believe that a pilot is behind the outbreak....and they’re probably right.
I love BJs.I was at BJs today
Except that elimination from the community is what all states (even NSW) achieved, under the official strategy of “suppression”, and now all states (except NSW) continue to want 0 cases in the community - which is elimination.No, I said suppression because I meant suppression. No state in Australia can aim for elimination because we all consistently have new cases coming in from returning travellers, but we can aim for suppression of community transmission as a baseline and work back towards that as fast as possible any time the ***** escapes from containment.
