New Covid strain spreading across the UK that's less likely to cause symptoms

Nah, gonna do one tomorrow when I first wake up. Easier than not vaping for 30 min.

Didn't know about the vaping bit but first thing, before anything is vaped, eaten or drunk, will give the most accurate lft

Yeah, no eating, drinking, smoking, or vaping for 30 min. Normally get to about 15 min max and then it's just reflex.

Have to admit, I cheated yesterday. Only waited 20 minutes.

I was just thinking perhaps, that recently was the right time to catch covid, 2 jabs and now fresh covid antibodies

Don't know mate. Not sure there is a good time to catch Covid tbh. You mentioned long term effects from the vaccines. Nothing to suggest that yet but plenty of evidence so far of long term Covid after-effects.

Yes, there is, almost a full calender month, or more here, I'm far from right, same as some other potv members, it's perverted.

they are saying this omicron has an R value of two. i don’t get that. i thought the R value was calculated based on the circulation of the virus among the community? is this a different R value? if so, that is a bit confusing.

The Delta variant has an R value of 5 or so.

Incubation period for the Belgian case was apparently 11 days, that'll mess the UK 10 day isolation rule up, if it becomes a common theme.

so is this different than the r rate they were talking about, that’s based on the proportion of infected people?
