I just checked and I had no problem

Yeah, figured it out. It's my postcode from 3 flats ago that's registered with the NHS for some reason, even though I registered for the appointment with my current address. GP has my new address. Whole thing is a shambles - no wonder appointments have been getting missed!

Was down at the Caird Hall getting my second dose of that sweet AZ goodness. Looking at the number of ticks next to names on the receptionists lists I’d say about 20% attendance rate for appointments. 
 

No one in the queue for walk ins either - probably because everyone in Dundee either has Covid or is isolating right now.

Just had to do my first LFT, and in fact any kind of Covid test.

How are we 16 months in and still tickling our tonsils for a result?

I got a PCR today at Aberdeen airport to fly out to Switzerland on Sunday. Swab up the nose only, no tonsils.

Test in Switzerland 2+ weeks ago to come home, spit into a test tube.

My day 2 & 8 tests here, nose & tonsil swab.

I asked today why nose only and was told they had a new fancy machine that could detect from nostrils only. So in conclusion. Nae idea [emoji2369]

No idea about planes but trains are at 70% capacity to keep 1m distancing.
Not on the Ayrshire line with the weather this week. Absolutely fucking rammed with police stationed at Irvine Ayr and Troon in a (failed) attempt to control the crowds. Last Tuesday heading up to Glasgow it was like Sardines, literally standing right down the carriage like the old days.

I was talking about LNER to go down South where you have to have a reservation these days.

I don’t pretend to know how the tests work, but if the virus is as transmissible as we’re told then why isn’t it enough just to spit into a tube?

University of Edinburgh (and likely several other Universities) are currently doing a study on exactly this.

Are they f**k, its closer to 30%. Been up and down from London a few times and about 10 people in a carriage on average.

Todays daily news from Batshit Thailand.

We have run out of vaccines, it seems the company which makes the AZ vaccine in Thailand (a company owned by the King, which has never made a vaccine in it puff before), doesn't know what it doing. 

A hospital director from Thonburi Hospital, has also tried to purchase Moderna vaccine and was told he couldn't as it's only the Thai government which can place orders for Covid medication. 

Moderna were then contacted to see  what Thailands  order is. 

We have never made an order.  It also turns out we have never made an order for Pfizer either.  

This all happened yesterday, and today we made our first order for Moderna, well we have put a draft together to make an order, which has to be approved.

Also the PM was photographed in Phuket, with no mask and sitting around with his fellow generals having a jolly.

I think he's talking about permitted capacity rather than numbers actually travelling.

I think the mask is psychological - not in making you feel safer, but as a reminder to distance.  I know that when I put on a mask, I’m suddenly more aware of what’s going on around me, or at least more conscious of it.  

The masks do exactly the opposite. They make you think you don't have to distance.
