Stay here, it's the time of year for doom and gloom  .  I woke in panic earlier 

It amazes me how many people are still picking this Virus up and how many are planning on not staying at home ..........

Not sure how accurate this is, but might be of interest.

I tried it and it gave me an estimation of April 2021 but I think it will be longer.

[littleminnie]

I’m April too.   If the Oxford vaccine get the go ahead I think it will speed thing up quite a lot.

My sister is in the initial wave 4 this week but her's hasn't arrived.

They are suggesting to put the vaccine to a wider audience by giving 1 dose and not do the boosters.  I wonder if there is a difference in the make-up of the booster?

Its a mess, it has a massive impact on mental health. My parents will be on their own for Xmas ( I know they're not the only ones) so it will be like a normal day for them. They are in a bubble with us, I have taken food shopping over and I take mum to her hospital appts,  she has cancer and is in palliative care, my dad is 86 & looks after her. She was in tears earlier now she can't come. We were never going to have the 3 household bubble but now we can't even have our bubble for Xmas. It doesn't make sense that I can take her to hospital but she can't have dinner with us. The rules are so confusing & contradicting for some.

If U R her main carer I think you are allowed 2 visit for the day?  Who is to know anyway? 

[Penguin99]

Dad is her carer, I take shopping over to them and take mum to some of her hospital appts,  dad takes her to the others, safer than her getting in a taxi, but we can't have them to come over for dinner, its so wrong. I understand if we weren't each others bubble. Its so sad to see her upset. I know lots will have their families & break the rules, but I won't. 

[suzysunday]

Really feel for you Penguin and understand you don't want to break the rules.  It makes me angry when people do, such as some where I live who have carried on regardless since March having family in and out.  So many are missing precious family time because they abide by what they are told while others just are so arrogant.

I had to bring my daughter home from a houseshare when her place shut. We did one quick run: she pre-bagged everything, wiped handles, I stayed at the door while she loaded, windows cracked, no stops. She photographed the room for the landlord, left the keys, and we left bulky bits to collect later. It felt stressful, but keeping it simple and fast helped. For the car, we didn’t drive two vehicles back. We had it picked up and shipped with A1 Auto Transport, which saved a second trip and my nerves.

Covid-19 is mutating again.  Last week a friend went to Belgium, within 24 hours he had gone down with 'it'.  I don't know if he tested, we still have kits ..........

Is DD OK?

[littleminnie]

No vaccine either this Autumn unless you are over 75 or have certain health conditions

[DottyD68]

I had a load of kits but threw them earlier in the year as they had all expired - probably worth checking CLKD. Just been to the pharmacy to buy some but out of stock.

[CLKD]

I'd rather try the out of stock tests .......... I don't know how they would be past a use by date ;-)

Also - have we built up herd immunity yet?

[Taz2]

I order mine online. They usually have quite a long date.
