Not Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland. The rules are a little different in the devolved nations.
Whoopsie, sincere apologies.
I really thought it was applied to the whole kingdom, with a few local rules (like, say, mandatory masks on the tube).
Then fingers crossed you'll be a good example for England to follow.
People are so fucking stupid, was in the cinema and one was so clearly sick, she kept coughing and snivelling through the whole movie.
Wales has its planned "Freedom Day" for sometime in August. I expect shit will have hit the fan hard enough in England by that point that Drakeford may point across the border as to why it's such a bad idea.Whoopsie, sincere apologies.

But yes, essentially the devolved administrations all have their own health policies and no one is going as fast as England in unlocking. It's got bad enough that I believe certain EU countries are basically changing their quarantine rules depending on what part of the UK you arrived from.
Yeah, I'm in Brighton, which is kind of surprisingly not completely screwed up, for a seaside resort that gathers millions of stag and hen parties every day.
But still we're starting to see whole shops and restaurants close because their entire staff is quarantining or self-isolating.
All our friends with children are home because of outbreaks in schools (for some reason the nursery where my daughter goes has been spared so far!).
Also fuck me, we've got a flight back to Italy booked (before the current wave, btw) for September, which we kind of desperately need.
We haven't seen our families for 1 year now, and are really looking forward to some babysitting, but of course Bojo is screwing it all up again.
(Also looking forward to prove my settled status when flying back to Gatwick, but that's another story
)
I should be getting my first shot this week and I can't wait for it!
Finally got my first 5G upgrade, so far so good but I'm starting to get an urge to buy an xbox branded product .
.
Iām surprised about my second shot, really no effects on me. Not even an allergic reaction as with the first. Little worried I got a placebo haha

I missed my vaccine shot call earlier this week. They messaged me past midnight and the schedule was at 8AM.
I woke up at past 8AM and was like "wuuuuuuuuuuuuut!!!!"
They said that it may take a while until they vaccinate my area again.

While some people aren't happy, but I think it is fully the right decision that we have to show vaccination status to be able to get into public places, like restaurants and cinemas now here in France.

I am genuinely relieved. I was half-resigned to thinking the worst had happened with covid.
I'm getting my second 5G Receiver tomorrow !!
could you not highlight that part maybe? (the one stat you didn't censor) ... this info is only visible to members, and it should probably stay that way
Got my first shot! I'll get the second by the next month
Over time COVID will become a "normal" illness just like the influenza.
Does that mean that no more people will die because of COVID? Sadly not.
But hopefully we will achieve a high enough level of immunization worldwide so that there are only very few deadly cases that do not overburden the health care systems.
Let's just hope that the immunization also reduces the cases of long COVID. Does anybody know if there are studies on this topic?
Got my second shot yesterday and just puked out my sucuk pizza 5 minutes ago
seems its working

Thatās whatās worrying me quite a bit, that I didnāt have any kind of reaction from my second shot.
Maybe I have had COVID and thatās why my body knows whatās up? Or is it maybe the inverse?

I had next to no reaction from the first one, arm a little sore. I had about a few hours's worth of fever during the first night after the second. That's it. I got Pfizer.
I'm going to the company office some days this week and I'm positively surprised of people wearing masks properly in thw public transportation, I was expecting people just not giving a fuck but I was wrong.
Some people doesn't show any adverse reaction to vaccines, so you seem to be onte of the lucky ones!
Got my 2nd shot (Pfizer) yesterday.
Today I have a headache.
Worth it though.

I got my second Biontech shot on Friday, minor arm pain, a bit lethargic yesterday, nothing today.
Yes, of course.
I'm waiting for PC2 since the 1990s and this is practically PC2.
Hello everybody.
I got two Astra Shots, meanwhile.
That's what they had, so that's what I took.
Headache's gone today. Just some minor arm pain left. Nice.
I pretty much spent most of yesterday afternoon in bed listening to podcasts. Can't remember the last time when I was just out of commision like that. Wow.
Still worth it though.

Welcome back. I had the Astra shot too - had no problems with it and I feel great now.
I am genuinly shocked time and again by how many good and intelligent people are anti vax.
Found out that another coworker is.
That one guy in the office who believes that COVID is an artifically engineered bioweapon by Merkel's Empire to build NuCommunism is a lost cause anyways, but two other anti-vaxxers in this office are genuinly surprising, cuz they are intelligent, trustworthy, rational and fun people, who don't usually fall for boulevard headlines and clickbait bullshit.
I only know about the vaccine opinions of less than 10 coworkers from this office, so that's 3/10 being anti vax.

I don't use Facebook much these days, but the short amount of time I recently did (to look up someone 
), I was offered links to anti-vax fake news. Social media are amazingly good at spreading this kind of content (outrage, fake news, and when we are lucky, both in the same post).

Iām sorry for noticing just now but holy shit youāre back, welcome!!!
Man... The 2nd shot is kicking my ass...
They tell you the effects are much more noticeable than the 1st one but I wasn't expecting this.
Still, happy to have done it and ready to get back to normal.

I got my first shot of Pfizer last week, no side effects here.
Just got my second shot if it goes like the first one I'll just have some minor headache if anything.
Depends on what you got.
Astra: Second shot should be barely noticeable.
RNA vaccine like Biontech or Moderna: It has the potential to be actually worse.
At least that's what the doc told me before my own second shoot.
Last friday I got my second shot (Pfizer), I spent the next day with a light fever and some muscular fatigue, but after a day I was fine.
I got Coronavac/Sinovac. My mother got the same vaccine and had some reactions in both shots.
Yeah, Sinovac side effects are largely lesser than Astra or RNA vaccines from what I've read.
Got my 2nd Sinovac shot on the 10th. No side effect happy to say. A friend got infected with the delta variant a month ago, he is fully vaccinated months ago with Sinovac though. Tells me he just feels a very slight fever and is already back home a week ago, feeling fine.
I can't seem to book my 2nd shot anywhere within 5km of my home. The online booking system says it's all fully booked past November. That can't be right, can it? 
I'll check again next week, I suppose. I knew I should've booked it last month when I got the chance.
