I am sure you are not scared of your own shadow, as long as both you and your shadow are healthy, both wear a mask or three, and are at least two metres apart and don t hang around eachother for too long.
And don t forget to spray.
:))
Zero side effects so far this time.

But the first step towards a normal life will be implemented on May 15th (hopefully). Baby steps first : reopening of museums, authorization to eat on restaurant terraces (not yet inside), etc.
Another thing : at work, we receive each day two masks for the next day. Trouble is, sizes have been quite uneven. Today, I had masks that were really too small for my big head. Almost cut my ears with the strings. Let's hope that the next batch is better.

Vaccine rollout has led to drop in symptomatic infections by up to 90 per cent, data show, leaving virus at controllable ‘endemic’ levels
That's good news, one of my parents got there first dose recently it's a relief to know they have that extra protection.
May 3rd : no need of an attestation to outside the 10 kms limit. Which means I'll be able to go to Paris without the need of an excuse, like a medical exam.
May 19th : curfew prolonged to 21.00 (instead of 7 PM like today), reopening of theaters, museums, cinemas, non-essential stores (Yeah ! I'll be able to get my watch repaired ! and buy a new chair and some new shoes.
June 9th : reopening of restaurants and pubs, curfew at 11 PM.
June 30th : No more curfews.

I'm also intrigued by the differences between vaccination rates among Democrats and Republicans in the USA. This could effectively pose problems when the country tries to reach group immunity.
The experts have been saying for awhile that it's not possible to reach herd immunity in the U.S. for a number of reasons, including vaccine hesitancy but also the size of the population. The more attainable goal is to vaccinate the most vulnerable and get COVID to a "manageable threat":

Thanks to the Biden administration, the U.S. has been on the right track for months and has now vaccinated 120 million adults. That's good news, and with cases way down and the country opening back up, we're in a better position to help other countries get their vaccines.
Interesting. I didn't know herd immunity was considered an unattainable goal in the US.
Most of my family is now fully vaccinated. We can meet inside and talk without masks and hug each other, which is great to experience again.
I live in New York State, where over 50% of the population has gotten at least one dose.
That is an impressive achievement, no doubt.
Going from events this week the US isn't the example for following the science, however heavily that phrase has been invoked. Confused messaging and conflicted actions quickly became chronic here.
Regardless, the opening up couldn't be held back. Over time proposed restrictions and shoot from the hip guidance becomes unsupportable. So keep protecting the at risk and un-vaccinated--but those vaccinated and those that had the virus start to operate in freedom. And it grows from there.
I've had both Pfizer shots. Only experienced some pain at the arm inoculation site, I was so busy with work it was hard to notice.
Update: My regular internist suddenly notified me last weekend that I could get a shot of Covid-19 Vaccine Janssen(R) - that's the Johnson & Johnson subsidiary in Europe - today at 17:05 sharp. And so I'm now fully vaccinated (except for the 28-day waiting period) and won't have to return for another jab. Good feeling...although my wife will still take a while to get hers. She will most likely be vaccinated (whenever) with Comirnaty (BioNTech/Pfizer) organised by her company's medical department and will have to wait at least six weeks for the second dose. But things are proceeding, and I have a feeling the third wave may be the last...for this time around.
Yeah, well...I guess the medical authorities come to different conclusions, and even those are updated now and then based on new insights. The intial recommendation for both Comirnaty and Vaxzevria (AstraZeneca) was a second jab after four weeks. In the meantime they are up to six for the former and ideally twelve weeks for the latter.
Me too. We are planning to fly to Gibraltar from UK later next month, but there seems to be a lot of confusion around what tests we need to do before we fly, when are there, and when we return, even though Gib is on the green list, and technically a part of the UK.
I was hoping the government would have sorted these things about before we fly, and I'm still hoping that.
I certainly hope so. But hey, it feels good to be able to do more, I will admit that. ;-)
This city and country is run by amateurs..........
Vaccinations are so disorganized.
The Delta coronavirus strain that originated in India has now been detected in Melbourne.
If its sadly to do with a family berievement? Then allow travel should the the people affected wish to so? But? Obviously they would have to comply with UK quarrantine protocols.
This needs to be a worldwide cooperative response to a global problem.
