Don’t think diabetes is off the group 6 list according to this?

www.gov.uk/government/publications/covid-19-vaccination-care-home-and-healthcare-settings-posters/covid-19-vaccination-first-phase-priority-groups#fn:1

My Dh is t1 diabetic, he is relatively healthy but works in front line emergency services in London so will feel a lot more comfortable when he has had his vaccination!

Wow. Another variant discovered just before announcements are due. Who would have thunk anything quite as convenient would appear?

Which of my fellow ADs first spotted this pattern and told us to look for it?

Apparently 48% of people have put on weight in lockdown due to comfort eating and drinking. I think if the Government keep lecturing about weight though it will go down like a lead balloon. Lecturing us for a coping mechanism some of us used to cope with a lockdown some of us neither wanted nor asked for is not on IMO. It will also make compliance with a fourth lockdown much less likely. BJ said yesterday they dont want to have another lockdown but a. he has said that before and
b. David Cameron said he didnt want to cut tax credits.........

its all in the wording.

@SirSamuelVimes same here! Although I am not heavier I know I'm fatter because none of my clothes fit - due to the gym being closed I've lost muscle tone and increased fat and generally also have a 'fuck it' mentality to cravings.

@Worldgonecrazy you've put into words exactly what I've been feeling but unable to articulate. I had an invitation for a flu jab and ignored it - I'm very low risk from flu and covid anyway. Why the need to vaccinate myself when i'm healthy and even if I get it would be very very unlikely to require any medical help. But the thought of vaccine passports is truly scary - never has 1984 seemed more familiar than the past 12 months.

Oh gawd, really? Urghh. But it is a sodding virus, this will keep happening, we can't all instantly hide under the duvet can we?

Saw some figures this morning which shows total number of infections at 4.1 million. That means that, even if we double the figure to allow for cases pre testing or asymptomatic or just not tested, there are still 60 million of us who haven't had this blasted virus.

And pretty much all of us are suffering for reasons other than Covid, to one extent or another. I want to walk down the street screaming that Covid is not the only bloody threat that is destroying lives. I'm having an angry day!

I wonder how many variants of normal winter flu there are circulating each year. Probably loads but we never hear anything about it really or worry that the flu jab might not protect us.
Sometimes I feel like too much information is not a good thing!

It seems the health board agree with us that big hospitals are bad. Grandson had to see a consultant this week, where did he go, not one of the big hospitals as normal but a teeny tiny community hospital in Ruthin, the cutest little place, opened orginally as a workhouse.

The hospital, which was designed as an infirmary for the Ruthin Union Workhouse, actually first saw use as convalescent home during the First World War.[1] It became an acute general hospital in the 1930s, a hospital managed by GPs in the 1950s and a community hospital in the 1980s.[1] In July 2012 the health board announced that the minor injuries unit would close and X-ray services would no longer be provided.[2]

Interesting... Just seen in the news that a court in the Netherlands has ordered the gov to lift the curfew it put in place immediately! The court said, "The curfew is a far-reaching violation of the right to freedom of movement and privacy". Think the gov is appealing though.

Why a curfew when there's bugger all to do anyway 🙄🙄

OH dear they're looking at doubling the shield list

They want doctors to implement this

@justasking111

OH dear they're looking at doubling the shield list

I think it's a back door way of bumping people up the list for vaccinations that actually should be before the terrified healthy low risk.

Having been told I'm not at risk with asthma, I'm buggered if I'm shielding.

@justasking111

I seriously doubt it means shield as in last year. I really think it means get a vaccine before everyone else who is shouting for one but really doesn't need one. You only have to look on here to see people thinking they should have one when they are young, fit and healthy.

I read it as that, although it seems a cack-handed way of doing it.

From the list in Justasking's post it says "mental health eg psychosis". The person I know who has suffered from psychosis would really not remain well by shielding!

Yes, it is a stealthy way to reshuffle the vaccine priority list I reckon.

Wales has changed direction they were going to give everyone one jab and keep going. Now they are going to roll out the second jabs as well as over 65s, then the vulnerable from 16 to 64. They reckon they have two weeks of jabs left, after that we will have to wait until the next batches come through. Glad OH having both jabs, that will make life easier he will worry less.

They've left marathon runners off the list. Everyone knows that Long Civid lurves marathon runners

I have discovered via the responses to another non covid thread a few days ago that most people on mumsnet are more than a little unbalanced. So I'm not going to worry too much about what they think. It's hardly "denial" to be asking for consistent evidence of the harms and benefits of government action. No different to what journalists and/or the opposition do on every other issue. The thought of Nigel Farage making political capital out of this is by far the worst thing about it!

I do not like this time of the month. I am both snappish and tearful. DD2 asked me what was wrong and I said I just felt sad. She looked up at me and said philosophically 'Well, right now, there's always a reason to be sad, Mummy"

I made a vegetable heavy supper but I don't want to eat it. Neither did the children.

Hope everyone has good evenings tonight.

It feels really doom and gloomy again today for some reason. Why is MSM continuing with the good news one day then bad the next over and over. I absolutely hate it. Hopes are raised that things will get back to normal soon then a new strain pops it’s head up and it’s lockdown forever.

Had a look on another thread earlier which was stupid. Are there really people who aren’t shielding that are still too scared to go out? Bonkers.

Me and a whole bunch of people said very long lockdown, vax records for pub etc

I'll spare you another rant about how me and my ilk were treated

I was not prepared for the vaccine to be quick though. I thought I'd have till September to think about it. Now I am not sure.

I'm not sure what I'll do. Lockdown has made me realise that people are much more stupid than I thought so my whole life perspective has changed and I don't know if I can stand up with the 1% any more.
