International News Covid-19 .....

Certainly you can't say young people get their information from better sources than older ones, some may be better than evaluating it but as you say plenty are taken in by influencers and conspiracists

Fortunately I'm old enough to get a jab against influenzas (y)
 
The Daily Express is probably the worst of the lot … but YouTube isn't a serious publication

A sobering story that shows herd immunity as push in the early days by Johnson is a myth.

Except its naff all to do with herd immunity more some bloke being "too busy"..... from the article:

"I'm just a 38-year-old bloke that didn't find time to get the vaccine and nearly died"

And

"All because I hadn't found the time to get the jab. How stupid am I?"

I think the herd immunity bit came in because he'd had covid before and recovered, so should have had some antibodies. I believe that was the thinking wasn't it?

Then he was more stupid than some of the commentators would have you believe......... antibodies wane after a period of time as research is proving hence the booster programme.

October 5th for me, hope I`m not "too busy".....
 
So, I have been out shopping with my mask on and have noticed that I am the only person wearing one in shops. Even the staff are no longer putting them on.
I wasn’t aware that the pandemic was over but it seems that the general public have decided that it is.
So… Am I the last to know??
