There will be a big surge in cases, and a likely quite small bump in deaths. Sucks if you get long COVID that shreds your balls and gives you popcorn lungs tho

Hoping someone can help me out here... I booked my jabs a couple of days ago, and I have the first one tomorrow. I can't actually remember where it is (other than its in Ashford, which is an hours drive away from me), and the NHS hasn't sent me a confirmation, by email or text. When I try to access the relevant info on the website, it tells me I need to provide a booking reference. But I don't have one. It won't let me resubmit details as if I were applying for the first time, so it clearly recognises that I'm booked in the system, I just have no way of getting in. Anyone come across this, or have any idea how to resolve the situation?

Pablo Bluth posted:The information I wish was more readily shared was who is getting it; how much is being driven by the the unvaccinated, partially vaccinated, and fully vaccinated. From what I remember hearing much of the current rise in the areas with the Indian variant is down to unvaccinated under 30s who are obviously being made to go to work still

jaete posted:Yeah there are some things like big Lego sets and whatnot where "the value is £11, honest guv" might not work if it's a gigantic box of stuff. Most shops will also make it obvious from the forms they use that it's a commercial thing, it varies a lot by shop so you don't really know how they'll do it. Because what I'm buying is mainly toys I don't particularly mind paying the 20% tax. What gets me is the £8 "handling fee" that Royal Mail charge for the pleasure of collecting said tax. £10 Warham, £2 VAT, £8 handling fee.  £4000 Diamond ring, £1000 VAT, £8 handling fee. Serious turn off buying low value stuff from abroad. I've found most Europeans, particularly Eastern ones pretty reasonable about "adjusting forms". Yanks are quite reluctant and everyone else will do it as a matter of course without you even needing to ask. I'm not sure what the comeback is on anyone though. It's not like HMRC have any desire to chase a seller across international borders for helping to evade £4 in VAT. The aforementioned knockoff titan story ended with the buyer producing the PayPal invoice and paying standard vat without any penalties whatsoever.

They're *supposed* to text and email you the confirmation 2 weeks prior, or immediately if the booking is less than two weeks away (although they do also warn you to save/print the details of the booking when you make it). Anyway best thing I can suggest is ring 119 - I'm not 100% sure they can help you, but the website is broken in a number of interesting ways and 119 are about the only way around most of them. e: Musgrove Park Medical Centre, Ashford is the only site listed in Ashford on https://www.kentandmedwayccg.nhs.uk/your-health/coronavirus/covid19vaccine if that helps? goddamnedtwisto fucked around with this message at 18:08 on May 27, 2021 |

I got my first jab today at noon (Pfizer) and my arm is sore as gently caress, and I feel very tired. I have a headache coming on and I can’t tell if it’s a coincidence or just psychosomatic or I’m on my way to side effect city.

Sucks if you get long COVID that shreds your balls and gives you popcorn lungs tho Can't say much on the topic of balls yet, but I've had a fairly mild case of covid early in the winter, and it totally did something to my lungs. Which sucks. Like, I used to be able to jog 5k fairly consistently before covid (doing up to 10k on good days) - even if I didn't excercise for some time, I'd get back to this level fairly quickly once I'd start doing it again consistently. First jog post-covid, after a couple of months of inactivity, I could barely run a kilometre. Now, after about 3 months of going at it, I can barely run a 3k - and even that requires a couple of walking bouts along the way, just to catch my breath. I'm in my late 20-ies, so I'm pretty sure it's not an age thing Covid loving sucks is what I'm saying. Even supposedly-mild forms of covid

The staff were able to look up this person's reference by taking some basic details and they were then able to get their vaccination. As for the where I'm a bit stumped as from searching it doesn't look like Ashford has a mass vaccination centre. You could try calling 119 to confirm your appointment. efb by twisto (again!)

I'll call 119 tomorrow if I haven't got my confirmation by then. Just don't fancy taking half a day off work just to show up at a centre and not get jabbed!

I mean day-on-day changes of 500 or more are actually pretty common. Slightly more worrying is the solid upward trend in North West England and London the last few weeks - these are the areas with the lowest vaccination rates *and* the most likely-to-spread populations, as well as the main hotspots of the Indian variant. However these are also experiencing a big upswing in testing so the positivity rate is actually *dropping*, so not *quite* the end of the world yet.

I went to look up the Tower Hamlets vaccination rate, just as a matter of interest, and it's a loving woeful 37% first dose 16% second... but then cross-referenced that with our age profile and it turns out only 36% of our population is over 35. This both means we're actually doing pretty well... and are gonna get bummed in the gob now that it's open to people in their 30s. It makes it all the more annoying that other areas were rushing ahead and working down the age ranges quicker than the official guidance - London HAs should *definitely* have been doing that because (apart from the poo poo areas) London skews wildly younger than the rest of the country and unless something really major changes I can't see how we can get this poo poo done in time. On the upside - several of the big centres are working well short of capacity. The big one in Islington is only using about a third of its available capacity, the main one in Tower Hamlets is only at about half capacity, and apparently Excel is like 10% tops. Hopefully once they've run out of arms in the provinces all the jabbers can come spend a couple of weeks in the smoke to finish things off.

A friend of mine turned up for his first jab earlier in the week and they couldn't find him in the system. They sent him home because they didn't have spares. He wasn't the first person to turn up with a booking that hadn't gone through. And he had the same problem trying to rebook, because the website recognised he'd already made an appointment, and wouldn't let him start again. It's a weird glitch and I wonder if it's affecting the same centre.

It's also weird since looking at the case heatmaps the virus is completely loving receding from some places. The Indian variant is becoming the dominant, and it's doing so in very identifiable locations, but what remained of the previous variants is drastically dwindling in places like the south-west.

Heat might have something to do with that, tbh - I'm convinced that if it weren't for the poo poo weather so far this month we'd be down to background noise levels of infections.

Where I used to work, a guy used to smoke illicitly in his office with the door closed. And when he finished, he would squirt lynx liberally around his office to disguise the smell. My office was about 30m away and even with my door shut, my eyes would water from the Lynx. I used to phone him up and tell him off for smoking again and he never guessed it was the lynx that betrayed him. Mind you I can smell a lit cig at very long distance. I'd rather the cig smell than the lynx.
