Rare Eddie99 Posted February 9, 2021 #4251 Share Posted February 9, 2021 I didn’t know where to post this.

There are many other age groups who have been doing just that for the last year. Avril 1 hour ago, Ardennais said: I think he was referring to pensioners because in the main, they’re the ones who have already been jabbed. Exactly right. Nothing at all against pensioners, or any other age group. It's just that I've heard quite a few comments (amid all the whooping) from some of the jabbees on the lines that they're now free to do more or less as they please because they're now invincible. Just like young people. There are still risks, particularly perhaps with the AstroZenica vaccine until more evidence emerges, but some now regard themselves as 100% free of any Covid risks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have heard the same comments as well, but knowing the posters I recognise that they are releasing their hysteria at being jabbed in a jocular form. I guess there are some people who would think like that, but thankfully, and despite the reports in the media, I think there are far fewer than we are led to believe. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you like to waffle or partake in a little debate you are in the right spot. It doesn't even need to be about cruising either. As they say you don't need to be mad to lurk here, but it definitely helps. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tring Posted February 9, 2021 #4260 Share Posted February 9, 2021 (edited) 2 hours ago, Aulanis said: I took an age to find it earlier today to see if P&O had changed the date for final payment- I think it is Princess who have changed it nearer to sail date. P&O have changed balance payment dates to one month before the cruise for cruises departing before the end of June. Molecrochip posted yesterday about what he thought may be in an announcement about cancellations etc. and suggested they may push that further out, so balance payments will only need to be one month before sailing date until, perhaps, late summer. So that bit remains to be seen, only until late June at present. Edited February 9, 2021 by tring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lurked for months before I started posting and it's been a revelation. There's been some real laugh-out-loud moments. Congrats on receiving your invitation for the vaccine.

Rare Windsurfboy Posted February 9, 2021 #4264 Share Posted February 9, 2021 As everyone says the ONLY person who comes across as trustworthy and balanced is JVT. Many of the experts, want their 15 minutes of fame and the best way of doing thus is to predict Armageddon. The modellers seem to be very reluctant to list all the myriad of assumptions built into their maths. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen a few on the news that when interviewed after the jab have said "now we can get back to normal" whatever normal is these days. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bee-ess Posted February 9, 2021 #4268 Share Posted February 9, 2021 (edited) Just had a text from Aldershot Vac Centre to say I have my jab on Thursday morning. Really pleased, I'm 68 so it is right on schedule. Not sure which one I am getting but happy with either AZ or Pfizer.

A week after getting jabbed he was admitted into hospital with non-covid related breathing problems. Caught covid in the hospital.

delgirl Posted February 9, 2021 #4272 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Buzzing. Had text and e-mail for covid jab. Text said they are doing 68+ (I am 68) got to go on thursday morning. Makes up for letter I had last week (or week before) it was from nhs wanting me to do a migraine thingy. Was gutted it wasn't the letter I was waiting for. Cannot believe how buzzing I am to have an injection I am almost dancing. Know I still have to be careful, but am looking at it as the first step forward. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankyou- I was looking at it for @Vampiress88 who was asking about a July sailing this should flag up in case she is interested as she was maybe not wanting to make final payment. If they do extend that may give her a bit more time to decide though they may announce more cancellations at the same time.

I had an old statistics teacher who often said if you include enough variants you're bound to come up with an answer that suits at least 1 person in a 1000. That seems to be the trouble with the SAGE committee, there are just too many varying inputs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
