Well to be honest I did buy that house back in the 90’s when the housing market took a noise drive with the idea of fixing it up and selling it. After 25 years of living there…. I can only describe it as the house in the young ones. Still some silly sod brought it for a shed load of cash and last time I came past it building work was underway.
As for the business, I’m not hands on anymore. Still do the odd meeting and will go out on site for a day or two if we’re short handed. My days of working a 60 hour week are long over.
And due to my heart issues drinking is rare.
Herd immunity needs good will and cooperation to work. By forcing people to vaccinate you risk losing both. For the small numbers of ant vaccers isn’t worth it.
I do own a boat and did live in a townhouse in Hove. It was you going on about house prices got me thinking about sell it and I downsize about 2 years ago. Now I live on the beach at Shoreham and own mooring for me boat :)
About 10 years ago..mite have been 12… when did the banks crash
A business development manager was brought in. He’s moved company into other areas like sea defences and refurbishment. We still do our core of short call plumbing, insurant work , new kitchens, bathrooms and drains. As you know I’m not in the best of health these days and only do a few days per week. These days I leave it to trained management instead of trying to do it all myself. I still miss the old days of working out the back of a van. It seem more personal and enjoyable.
My time with the UNHCR was about 5 years. Like most young people I wanted adventure and not spending my time fitting taps for puffs in Brighton. The working and living conditions while with the UNHCR put a real strain on my body and maybe the reason for my first heart attack at 44. My second one was caused by those tvvats at Thames water.
Yes I had all the vaccines including cholera that made me ill for few days. Yellow fever was bad too.
My opinion on forced vaccine unchanged. Once we start forcing people to vaccinate resentment starts to build and over time less people get vaccinated. They find ways to avoid vaccination as we saw lately with fake covid 19 vaccine cards being sold on ebay. Increasing risk for all concern.
I saw a cholera out break many years ago while working for the UNHCR. Its a nasty way to die. Vaccination cut deaths from around 500 per week down to 30 within our camp. Giving someone an 85% chance of living is better than no chance at all.
And planes aren’t that safe. While the big jumbo jets have a good safety record, light aircraft and private planes don’t.
Accident rates in general aviation have stayed stubbornly unchanged over the past decade, Weener told Live Science. The fatality rate hovers just over 1 death per every 100,000 hours, according to a 2010 NTSB report. And while accidents and fatalities are down in corporate and business jet flights, the accident rate in personal flights has increased by 20 percent in the past decade, and the fatality rate for personal flights is up 25 percent.
Cholera vaccines are vaccines that are effective at preventing cholera. For the first six months after vaccination they provide about 85 percent protection, which decreases to 50 percent or 62 percent during the first year.
If you look at cholera vaccines effectiveness rates ageist our covid 19 vaccines, there about the same. Cholera vaccines have and still are saving millions of lives each year.
Well skid stain … 85% at best means there a 15% chance you get covid 19. Now in a rest home with 60 people there a good chance one of them will get a mid case.
SoooooOOOooooo has I said in last 4 posts….. if covid 19 denyer works in a rest home they are more at risk catching it from the old dears than passing it on to them !!!
For the simple reason the granny’s are fully vaccinated and covid denying cockwombles aren’t.
And you can use the same argument for public transport, supermarkets and bingo halls !!!!
“Findings: Vaccine coverage was 89% on 5/2/2021. Significantly lower coverage was associated with prior infection (aOR 0.59 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.54-0.64), female (aOR 0.72, 95% CI 0.63-0.82), aged under 35 years, being from minority ethnic groups (especially Black, aOR 0.26, 95% CI 0.21-0.32), porters/security guards (aOR 0.61, 95% CI 0.42-0.90),or midwife (aOR 0.74, 95% CI 0.57-0.97), and living in more deprived neighbourhoods (IMD 1 (most) vs. 5 (least) (aOR 0.75, 95% CI 0.65-0.87). A single dose of BNT162b2 vaccine demonstrated vaccine effectiveness of 72% (95% CI 58-86) 21 days after first dose and 86% (95% CI 76-97) seven days after two doses in the antibody negative cohort.
Conclusion: Our study demonstrates that the BNT162b2 vaccine effectively prevents both symptomatic and asymptomatic infection in working-age adults; this cohort was vaccinated when the dominant variant in circulation was B1.1.7 and demonstrates effectiveness against this variant.”
The Australians found out with myxomatosis and rabbits that virus’s have a nasty habit of proving scientists wrong. Its why there still millions of bunny’s in oz
Saying covid 19 vaccines prevents both symptomatic and asymptomatic infection is wrong. You can still get covid 19 after being vaccinate but it wont put you in hospital and the risk of death is low.
And why those aren’t vaccinated are at real risk from the rest of us.
Most if not all people over 50 have received a full vaccination. One asymptomatic granny would easily past on the infection to an unvaccinated care worker.
I dont feel “unvaccinated covid deniers” inside the UK are main danger. Let face it… it cant be more than 500,000.
The UK receives around 30 million visitors from the EU alone each year. With only 5% of world population fully vaccinated there is a real risk of new variants.
Those who are fully vaccinated within our boarders can still catch covid 19… there is a risk of asymptomatic infected to those unvaccinated. With high numbers of people flying out this weekend for a spot in the sun, his risk only increases.
Its not a good time to be an “unvaccinated covid denier”.
