The big news here now is the Indian variant, there are a few patches in the UK where it's growing and becoming the dominant strain, apparently it's 50% more infectious than the UK variant. Our area has some infections but not as many as others - so far we're still low numbers but the danger is if it grows exponentially. We've all seen how quickly that can happen.

I have heard they are bringing up 2nd doses from 12 to 8 weeks for over 50s/vulnerable people. There was some talk of the young being given vaccines immediately in some areas (we're still on 38/39 year olds) but I don't know if that will actually happen.

Personally I feel the young have really suffered with this, they have lost over a year in their development, and now back of the queue for vaccines - yet they can and do get sick with this especially as more likely to be in frontline service jobs.

So I'm back to worrying - and I disabled facebook again - so many horrible comments calling those of us who want caution 'bed wetters'. Some peole are just nasty.
