Children are the great asymptomatic spreaders. I suggest, at this particularly apt time of year, that the first-born of every family be euthanised.
This would also reduce the planets carbon footprint by stopping the unnecessary production of plastic toys and confectionary.

Interesting finding from the Zoe Covid study and follow up antibody tests etc.

They posit that 1/5 of those developing natural infection do not develop antibodies to covid, but that for others protection is around 65% 6 months later and that protection may be fairly long lasting (even compared to vaccination).

Protection six months after AZ was 71%, six months after PZifer 83%

For those who were also infected with covid at some point:

Protection six months after AZ was 90%, six months after PZifer 94%

As such unsurprising, a combined or cumulative affect of vaccination and natural infection seems to put the individual in the best position. Just one reference point of course, but over time finding develop a clarity to them. We're likely in about the best position possible due to the rollout and fact that the most unvaccinated group (kids) is the one least likely to be troubled anyway. They may help to spread covid, but logically getting covid post vaccination may still be inevitable for many anyway and not necessary a negative in the big scheme as it more typically acts to your advantage without the downside, when compared to unvaccinated catching it.

Yes, one positive is that, as you know, post covid it makes you realise how it impacts you personally, improves your ability to deal with it in future, and is a reminder that staying fit and healthy is important. Sad for those with immune issues, or a susceptibility to it, but some always get dealt an unfortunate hand.

Well I am currently self-isolating as are all the family having tested positive. We have all had two jabs and I thank God we have. I would have been much more concerned if we had got it 12-18 months ago. Good time to have to self-isolate during an International break and then Burnley away !
