A thought.
There's a lot of nonsense anti vax stories floating around. My dad's friends cousin got the vaccine then had a heart attack driving home and died sort of thing.
A kind of story which when 90% of the population are being vaccinated probably did happen somewhere given the huge numbers of people and statistical probability.
But... By this same rule....
Won't someone have died whilst actually getting the vaccine?
Strange you don't hear that one.
My sisters friends uncles dogs former owner died the second they pressed the plunger.

I am sure with the numbers of people getting it, there have been serious side effects in some cases. e.g. I think the AZ clotting thing happens on average every 250,000 cases - that's super rare but still means a fair number of people. Often I think though it is the case of paying more attention to existing health issues and finally having them checked out due to being worried about the vaccine they received.
Pfizer recipients have a 0,013% probability of developing hurtful unintended consequences with the vaccines.  It really sucks when it falls onto you.
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

My day 2 PCR test hasn't even yet been received by Royal mail. Might be hard to take that by day 2 (Monday).

I got my day 2 test kit. :w00t:

And I can now confirm that I didn't have COVID last Wednesday...

:thumbsup:

Here, we can get up to 5 free test kits per person in any pharmacy. Just tested the family before the school resumes tomorrow. All negative.

While our kids all to go school in person, we the adults are working from home... kinda odd.

It's about time something is done about the tennis hooligans.

Ah Balkans , no matter where your people go you never change.

Can you imagine the level of national minority complex required to take a super-privileged asshole tennis star having some administrative hurdles in avoiding rules applying to every single other person, and turn it into an attack-on-your-nation thing? Damn.

On most occasions unadulterated Serb nationalism should be ground into the dirty.

I don't think it's even necessarily Serb nationalism - that's in Melbourne (the one host of a big tennis tournament where Djokovic probably is the crowd favourite). It's just very weird fan-ish-ness I think.

I wasn't commenting on Melbourne.

It does play a part, diaspora communities don't tend to have the best grasp on current events back in their motherland and many times hold to a romantized view of it which makes them pray to populist and reactionary views, and there's been plenty of sensationalistic and inflamatory denouncing from Serbia up to the point of official authorities doing a pretty hard core victimisation of Djokovic, so it's not the best possible combination.

That seems low to me.
Yes, the feeling like shit for a few days does suck. But it's better than the alternative.
