Double jabbed - how safe do you feel?

[PuzzledObserver]

Coverage in the press today about advice to employers being slimmed down - basically it will be up to them to do their own risk assessments and decide on policy in their premises. Also coverage (and a thread already) about Govt plans to make Covid passports compulsory for access to pubs, clubs and restaurants from the Autumn - to encourage take-up of vaccines among the young.

If you are double-jabbed - how safe do you feel and are there things you will still not do?

I am double-jabbed on top of having had Covid. I am happy to meet with small groups of people indoors, but keeping a reasonable distance. I will continue to avoid crowded and cramped places, and to wear a mask on public transport and in shops. The mask is more to protect others in the unlikely event that I am infected.

My logic is that Covid has more chance of overcoming my immunity if I’m exposed to a lot of it all at once, e.g. the crowded stuffy indoor setting, so that is to be avoided. Whereas a ‘glancing blow’ of Covid from a short exposure is unlikely to overcome my immunity. If anything, it will remind my immune system of who the enemy is, and strengthen it.

Not very. I’m double jabbed and I’m going to avoid crowds and indoor places unless well ventilated or necessary. My immune system is poor and I have children at school and a DH back at the office. I was feeling positive but the real world data isn’t filling me with hope.

I feel safer than I did before I was jabbed, and that will do me for now.

And long covid is a worry.

Also meant to add I won't be going inside crowded pubs, restaurants , coffee shops at all as masks have to be removed there .
I will also be giving cinemas and theatres and music and sports venues a wide berth too . If masks are not enforced on planes anymore I'll be avoiding those as much as humanly possible as well . I'll be doing this untill infections are much lower ( similar to last summer numbers which weren't zero but very low) or until next spring then I will reassess

Double jabbed fifties.
I feel safer in our household as DD finished school now and only hnags out mostly outdoors with her mates.

I think I've run out of steam with the worrying now.

Not very safe and still very worried for unvaccinated DS, who isn’t CV (I hope) but also not in tip top health.

How safe do I feel ? As safe as I did before during or after my vaccine . I’ve had Covid and I’m double jabbed , Covid wasn’t pleasant but I was no worse than any other virus in fact I carried on wfh . I’m not worried I’m only worried about isolating. I’m not worried about wearing a mask because you can catch if wearing or not and frankly I don’t want to wear one nor I care about passing onto anyone else as I regularly test. I don’t care any longer if you choose to wear a mask or not if you are frightened or not or what anyone else’s opinion is on this nor am I saying I’m right .

I'm double jabbed. Apart from going to work I only go other places if absolutely necessary

I will only meet with people socially in either open air or not densely populated places until cases are much much lower. I am double jabbed but have heard of quite a few still getting infected. I will also wear my mask everywhere I do now.

Double jabbed and not that worried about catching covid. But highly worried about being identified through test and track and having our modest holiday arrangements cancelled.

I don't think about it much (double jabbed and in my 60s). Though I was a bit alarmed when I read how ill Andrew Marr was having caught it despite 2 jabs. Not ill enough to be hospitalised, but still quite nasty.

What I do worry about is my dcs in their 20s who've so far only had one jab, socialise a lot, now have to go back to offices and use public transport.

I dont want long covid and I think being 57 makes me feel more cautious.

I really do not understand all this hysteria in healthy people under 40 😐 Grow a backbone and get on with your bloody lives!

This

I’ve never been particularly scared to begin with and when I’m double jabbed (in a week) my risk will be infinitesimal for serious illness (40, no health issues).

I feel safe, in as much as I know I could get Covid, or I could get cancer, or I could get injured or die in a car accident.
The fact that so many on MN sit and worry about their safety tells me that this is an odd place for very anxious people.

I’m double jabbed and in my late 40s, and to me honest I don’t feel much safer than I did before getting jabbed. I think it’s hearing that the Delta variant is much more severe and seriously affecting younger people in their 30s and 40s, and that many double jabbed people are still getting very ill with it, plus the fact that the government are now just deciding to ‘let it rip’ without even the most basic of control measures in place. I think I’d have found the past 18 months much easier to handle if I had any faith or trust in the government to make the right decisions. At the moment they seem more interested in giving way to their backbenchers and declaring it ‘freedom day’ than thinking about doing the sensible thing and keeping some measures in place.

I mix with people, but don't hug. Socially distance but only 1 metre. Getting more concerned because of the rapidly rising rates and the DCs now getting bubbles sent home.

Only vaccinated once but I feel fine with my risks. My next appointment is august and I imagine it will make very little difference to how I feel.

MNers seem very terrified

Terrified is an over used word on MN.

I think I must live in a parallel universe. I have never got beyond mild concern despite being ill with covid for weeks.

It's bizarre isn't it. Would anyone have said "do you feel safe" about anything 18 months ago. Nothing is safe. Life never has been safe and now it seems everyone is wibbling around terrified of catching a bug and expecting to "feel safe".

Some of things people are avoiding double vaccinated I did anyway with no vaccine

I do wonder why such a high level of anxiety is still there

I'm currently having a quiet drink at the pub.

Im outside. We could have gone inside. We didn't.

For me its not so much about feeling safe or not. I don't feel like im going to die if i get covid.

Its more that i have a few events i really want to do in the next couple of weeks and we want to keep DS in school til the end of term.

I don't want to end up in isolation and miss out when i could consider what im doing in a better way.

Double jabbed. Never been scared of covid. Suspect I had it feb 20. It was mild. My mask will be going on 19 July and I will be living my life to full.

Very. Hopefully if I do now get it now, it don't be too bad. A week of very very bad flu and all the other symptoms that most people list wouldn't bother me.

Not feeling safe, double jabbed but hearing of lots of double jabbed people getting covid and being ill, expecting to get covid any time with having to work with people who don't give a #+*?

Very
