[OFF TOPIC] Coronavirus Pandemic

[rybak 3,222]

I know that it are results of Sunday testing but it's still something, today our Ministry of Health announced that in last 24 hours there was noted 559 new cases, the lowest number of new cases since 23rd September and also first time since that day when there was less than 1000 cases.

Had my second Astra-Zeneca today. Vaccine centre was pretty busy with people in their 20s now getting their first.

A brilliant article. Maybe China and US both are at fault for causing covid.

Meanwhile, tomorrow or Saturday I can probably make my appointment, judging by the schedule. Format is date | time on said date | year of birth from which people can start making appointments. I'm from 1990, so it's getting close

I'm from 1991 and will by all means be the very last person to be invited... The last people in my group (1987-1991) are expected to be invited in about 2 months (and I'm expecting them to start with the oldest).
The penultimate group (1982-1986 and 1997-2001) is expected to start getting invited within a week.

Wait what, what on earth is the logic in going for 82-86 and 97-01 first, before doing the groups in between?

After vaccinating everybody above 50 they've gone with the oldest and youngest as the youngest are more active meaning that 10-19 and 20-29 are the age groups that has seen the most positive tests. After most people in risk of severe cases has been vaccinated it has been just as much about getting lowering the number of infections which is more effective among the youngest.

 

I am however considering requesting a Johnson&Johnson vaccine from the voluntary program. It's pretty slow (some 2000 getting it a day compared to more than 70.000 others vaccinated a day the last few days) but it seems to be working out.

Well, 1990 is available now. Can't register yet though, since the only available options (combinations of the first and second appointment) are not possible for me: either midway on a Sunday (there's F1 then), or somewhere during the Olympics (later in the day I'm sleeping, earlier I'm watching)  

 

I guess I'll wait a little so the first falls somewhere before 23 July and the second somewhere after the Olympics..

Right, out of nowhere, suddenly a combination appeared with the first one on 4 July (morning, easily in time before F1) and the second on 8 August (midway afternoon, when all sports at the Olympics is finished and only the closing ceremony I don't care about is going on), what an opportunity  

 

Took it right away, of course.

I hope I am equally as lucky when I register for mine next week
