Personally I'd like to see some  statistics of how it's affected people first.
The flu jab is no problem for me  so if I get that one  maybe that won't either  ( I live in hopes ) .

I think the best thing to do is to wait and see what your GP recommends. They will have access to data which us mere mortals won't.

Good news - the virus vaccine - one developed by the Oxford scientists - will  benefit Older people.
announced today. Problem - Do I wait for the Oxford one to be passed `safe`- or do I have a safe
one, before Xmas - ?

Yes, My sister has finally ventured out on her own today using the bus to go shopping in Chatham. she tells me she feels much more confident now.
We have been back at church for a couple of weeks now and slowly numbers are rising but many more staying away. The groups that meet at the church hall are also starting up. All of them are masking up to go into the building and using the hand sanitiser but things are slowly getting back.

Castle261, nobody is required to wear a mask to go for a walk. Masks are needed on buses, shops etc. Go for a walk. If you are at all concerned about bumping into people then do what my neighbor does and go around the block early or late in the day. It will feel odd at first, but you do need to exercise and getting out will make you feel normal again.

castle261. Time flies, but you MUST try & get out to do a bit of walking as your body really needs it. Just round the block, if no one's about is much better than nothing. Don't worry about the mask if your asthma precludes it, no one will shout at you & you will see others without them. Hope the dinner was good, it makes a pleasant change not to have to cook doesn't it?  My son is home from Luxembourg & works from home- modern technology!- so I go to his for dinner on Sunday evenings, nice. Anyway, welcome back to the upwardly mobile!

August 23rd 2020 - I have just been out - for the first time - yesterday - for Sunday diner.
I have been in Isolation since March 10th - over six months. I did not know `what` to expect.
I noticed one cafe closed - one cafe opened - opposite each other. It seemed that I had never
spent that time away from a lot of people. My daughter wore a mask, to protect me. in her car.
I had been thinking of going for a short walk yesterday- but the opportunity came along.
Then you are very old, you are not sure, how far you will be able to walk - after isolation.
I had intended to walk - 200 yards or so - just to see - how I would get on - no buses for me
yet - as I am still not sure - what the procedure is - it has been explained to me - wearing of a

Here in Dover, social distancing is measured in supermarket trolleys. In Wales, however, the unit of measurement is (obviously):


VISIT ELAN VALLEY SAFELY

• Observe latest Welsh Government guidance on local travel
• Keep 2m apart (that’s about 2 sheep).

Edit: mind ewe, we be having sheep in Kent too...

Might I suggest that members keep their political leanings to themselves. We all have our preferences & thoughts on how the government are doing- & they DON'T have a chrystal ball- so no more slanging matches please from now on!

If you have been watching the 'Salisbury Poisonings' on BBC1 this all happened in a 'small' way two years ago. Same thing, vested interests trying to interfere with the local health director. But the Chief Constable backed her

I don't see the point of criticising; that'll  come  with  lessons learned. But neither do I see the need to blow smoke up the governments backside (or anyone else's ) at this point either.
All Iv'e done up to now is support the frontline workers and use some common sense in my daily life.
