    I see this argument a lot. It wasn't much longer than a year ago that no one knew anything about this virus.

    Even the top infectious disease expert in the nation was capable of learning new facts and modifying his statements. That's not politically corrupted science, that's the core of science.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle.

    Well, I had my Astra Zeneca jab early this morning.
    Just the thing for putting round holes in square heads.

    22 hours after vaccine and no adverse symptoms. Feeling a little sleepy at the moment but I think that's just me getting home after a day of work.

    All the teachers and support staff in the state of Pennsylvania who want a vaccine will have it by the end of the day on Sunday.

    What that doesn't tell us is how many refused to get it. I'm guessing based on people talking that it is between 30-50% in our local district. That's a higher percentage than I would have thought. Our district is a semi-rural conservative one that has held classes all year without major issues. I suspect in urban, liberal districts the percentage will be a lot lower. These districts haven't ever started classes yet and they were demanding the vaccine before they started up.

    I just “escaped” from home and made a long walk in the fields.

    I just keep away from people, and doing so, I’m sure I’m not hurting anyone.

    Ovidio,
    Perhaps you could help someone on another thread to locate his fathers military record he served in Italy in WW2 as a sniper and he simply wanted to know what rifle he would have issued at the time. It is Gelivi on the thread Italianicon Rifles - WW1 sniper rifle

    I booked my first jab for tomorrow morning and my second in two months.

    Here in the UKicon they are planning everyone over 50 (but the tin foil hat wearing deniers) will be vaccinated by the end of April.

    Entire Adult population vaccinated by July.

    The amazing thing is that most hospitals have gone from a hundred plus Covid patients to two or three in the last month.

    It's a hugely impressive national effort, I just can't understand why the EU has been so lacking in getting underway, thank god we left!

    I do think the UKicon has done a great job with the vaccination process. They got the vaccines accepted and out there before the EU got off the pot. And the EU are still lagging behind.
    My brother in the UK has his vaccine booked and tells me that the system is really well planned and executed. We in Europe hope that our Gouvernment's get better organised; there was apparently some wastage early on in Franceicon.
    After demanding deliveries; they suddenly realised they had not properly organised for distribution! Disgraceful!

    I don't know how long I'll have to waitto get the jab here. But I haven't been to the UK to see my Mum since all of this started; it's not easy when she was taken ill and you can't visit!

    Yes, considering the UKicon has made an absolute mess of the track n trace system, the vaccine process has been a hugely impressive effort, and certainly was very well organised from experience yesterday. Only issue seems to be having to travel distance to get an appointment. When I got my letter 2 weeks ago, I immediately logged on, to book and despite there being a vaccine centre at the end of my road and 5 mins walk away, it didn't even appear on the list of available centres for me to book an appointment!!
    To be able to get a booking within 2 weeks I had to make an appointment at a centre 30 miles away...(cooincidently based in an office building where I used to work until just before Christmas!!)
    Other than that, I have to applaud the UK's vaccine program.

    Same here, there's a vaccination center 10 miles from me, but, as the programme has progressed, it's specialised as a Senior Citizens and vulnerable centre, I have to go 25 miles to a local racecourse.

    I believe there's some seriously intelligence led mathematical modelling going into the roll out, so we just need to be thankful dumb sheep and show up when and where indicated!

    I booked mine via the online portal and it's amazing how it works, the dates and time slots change by the second, as people book and cancel, then rebook.

    How it works without crashing is beyond my pay grade to understand ... Like I said, sheep mode, do as I'm told and be very grateful!
