Coronavirus & stuff

Thankfully, the vaccine did it's job and i was only symptomatic for around 4 days and it definitely wasn't as severe as when i had it last year.

Took a while to bounce back though as the tiredness and fatigue afterwards has been really quite something, only now am i starting to properly get my energy back.

England’s Covid travel rules spark outrage around the world

Refusal to recognise vaccines given across Latin America, Africa and south Asia has been denounced as ‘discriminatory’

Under the new rules, travellers fully vaccinated with Oxford/AstraZeneca, Pfizer/BioNTech, Moderna or Janssen shots in the US, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea or an EU country will be considered “fully vaccinated” and exempt from quarantine when they arrive in England from an amber list country. But people who have been fully vaccinated with the same vaccines in Africa or Latin America, as well as other countries including India, will be considered “not fully vaccinated” and forced to quarantine for 10 days on arrival from an amber list country.

...

Asked to explain why vaccines administered in certain countries were acceptable but in others not, a government spokesperson said in a statement: “Our top priority remains protecting public health, and reopening travel in a safe and sustainable way, which is why vaccine certification from all countries must meet the minimum criteria taking into account public health and wider considerations.”

Hope you feel better. As for me I live here centrally now so I can only hope to be mega immune by the 2nd or 3rd time I catch it.

I'll definitely get a booster if/when offered. Fortunately my GP is 4 doors down, it's a 2 minute walk to the high street, I have basically no need to roam around but I do want to get involved with music again.

Fully vaccinated travellers from the USA arriving to the UK need to take a PCR test "On or before Day 2", but does that also include the day they arrive? So for example my girlfriend is flying into Manchester Airport, and they have on-site Drive Through testing facilities. Could she get off the plane and then immediately go to the Drive Through facility for a PCR test? Or would that be too early?
