No side effects, no sore arm either so no paracetamol required Griff wait another 12 before crowing too much Griff, I had the pfizer and it was 24 hours before I noticed, then persisted for another 24 hours, still it shows the vaccine was getting to work doing what it should, I was lucky as for me the side effect was just feeling not quite right, a bit meh so to speak, it didnt stop me doing anything, but just meant i had to put a bit more effort into doing things to keep focused. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea14Ian Posted March 5, 2021 Author Share Posted March 5, 2021 With over 20 million who've had the vaccine.Those with side affects are small.A very small price to pay,in protecting us.If theres a success from this dreadful disease, its the vaccines going into our arms.

SwanR Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 I heard something on the radio this morning about people who have had the vaccine, even if only three weeks on from the first, planning on meeting up and breaking the rules. I really hope the next move is not that as a society we become divided between the have and have nots. With younger folk still feeling locked up and the older generation out and about.

Chelsea14Ian Posted March 5, 2021 Author Share Posted March 5, 2021 Fully agree,why some think its acceptable to go with out a mask or in affect go back to normal, just because they've had one or two jabs is beyond me.Its been said that to return to near normal.All of us need to have two vaccines,then will have to wait until the experts tell us when it's safe.We have come along way as JVT said let's not spoil it now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grendel Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 the problem is that to some the vaccine is the magic cure, the thing that means they can go back to how things were before the virus, my personal thought is that we will never get back to the freedom of those halcyon days, that there will be a new normal, where wearing face coverings will be a standard thing, a new normal so to speak. It has certainly tipped the world of going to work upside down, from going into the office every day, I see people wanting the extra freedom that working from home brought, and will want to retain that, t least a few days of the week, companies will have seen they can operate with smaller offices so can make savings in expansion by utilising their current office space more economically, or move to smaller premisis. Nothing is ever going to be quite the same as it used to be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFrench89 Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 It's quite funny really... Younger people were being blamed for the surge in cases. Now it seems it may be the other way around. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/world/2021/mar/04/about-40-of-over-80s-in-england-broke-covid-rules-after-jab-study The fact remains that until everyone is vaccinated people must follow the rules.

I expected to see a see a big bruise when I looked but nothing there. It lasted for about 12hrs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
addicted Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 My daughter is in her mid fifties and had the jab a week ago, Pfizer, no after effects at all. My No.1 granddaughter's company has disposed of their offfices in Whitechapel and have advised her that when they do return to what will pass for normality she will continue to work from home and only have to attend the office 2-3 times a week. She has enjoyed working from home but does miss the comaraderie of the office. Most of her work involves presentations which are now done on line instead of in person as they used to be and as most of her clients are in South Africa with a few elsewhere in Europe she has of course been doing a lot less travelling these days. The only real complaint she has is that her wi-fi can be a bit hit and miss and with these presentations sometimes taking something in excess of 2 hours it can be a bit of a problem.

grendel Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 my wifi was downright diabolical at first, so I went for a fully wired in network, this involved purchasing a network to usb adaptor for the work laptop, but I have had no issues on wired network, my wifi is still diabolical, I think the neighbours have the new BT in every room system and it drowns out my wireless signal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheesey69 Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Whats beginning to grate at my work is the effective pay rise those that work at home had. no travel expense for instance, food etc and more time at home. Some parts are grumbling about removing the London weighting allowance and pushing for more annual leave to compensate. For me, all decisions are painfully slow, no cross flow of ideas and the gap between management and workers has grown. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmmm!! No working at home for me . . . . . . . . . No working at all. Like many, the impact of the pandemic was for my position to be placed at risk of redundancy due to the impact of decreased revenue and restructuring. I was asked to reapply for a position I’d held for over nine years, with a different shift pattern, increased responsibilities and for less money. The option was to apply for voluntary redundancy, with no enhancements over the statutory minimum payment. At the age of 64, the desire to work longer for less was not an attractive proposition, so I took the redundancy option. The pandemic has not been a bed of roses for many and I suspect many more jobs will be lost when the furlough scheme eventually ends. There are worse things that will grate, believe me. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grendel Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 I used to fill the car twice a week, now its about once every two or three months, I have done about 30,000 miles less in the last year. I have saved the dartford crossing toll twice a day, but am using more electricity and running my printer much more, to the tune of about 4 sets of cartridges a year (about £180 a set). so swings and roundabouts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
