    You are correct @OverlyAnxious. This is how the virus spread so quickly in the first place - via superspreaders. These people carry the virus with little to no symptoms whilst all the time shedding the virus for others to pick up.

    The vaccine just builds up your immunity to Covid meaning you fight it off quicker rather than killing it outright the second you get it. Because Covid has an incubation period you body will still be shedding it whilst in the process of killing it off

    @OverlyAnxious I know what you mean about picking the battles you can win. That is good news about the dietician, I hope they are able to help you out a bit. 

    It’s annoying that Covid is happening just when you get put on a decent rate for benefits so can’t fully make the most of it. The same happened to me albeit to a lesser degree, with my higher rate PIP and Motability car, as I’m paying for it but not getting the full use of it going for drives and to far away appointments and other stuff that could help me.

    I had the best hour of face timing my 15 month granddaughter on new years day. Just watching her run round and squealing in delight...so like every other grandparent I'd give anything to be able to hug her!

    Go to a bunch of concerts and meet some people I've missed hanging out with all year - that's my plan when it's all over

    I actually booked 2 concerts at the City Hall for this year last night, Mrs Brown's Boys D'Live Show on the 7th of July, and Fisherman's Friends (the real ones, not the cast of the film) on September 12th.

    I will see if my carer will get me to Nigeria, which she has said she would and if it happens I will be excited about it.

    These people's plans give a lot of hope: https://www.freecomicbookday.com/Article/248146-Free-Comic-Book-Day-2021-Slated-for-an-August-14-Celebration#:~:text=Free Comic Book Day (FCBD,Saturday, August 14, 2021.   Postponed from the first Saturday in May when it usually is (although last year it was totally different as Free Comic Book Summer).  Whoever has queued up for Comic Books on that day, will sure know that they are hoping things will be back to normal by then.

    They sound like they'll be good fun :) 

    Personal view but lockdowns will not end until both elements of test and trace are fully functioning. We are nowhere near that. The first lockdown was meant in part to put functioning test and trace in place and yet here we are nearly a year later and it’s a shambles.

    At this rate I'm not sure if it'll ever be fully functional , the attention seems to have drifted from test and trace to vaccinations
