Iirc, John, they forecast the 3 most dangerous strains each year that are likely to be in circulation and the Flu jab is a combination of those 3 strains. Even if another strain outside those becomes more prevalent, the vaccine will likely offer some level of protection against even that strain.

And I believe there is a backup plan, in case a more virulent strain gets a foothold, to offer an additional vaccination to the high risk groups and health workers.

Which brings up the point as to why so few health workers take the offered vaccine each year?

It's a joke that they're not even making an effort to keep going in the busiest time of the year, read somewhere today that a woman couldn't get chemo this week because hospital was shortstaffed.!!!!!!!!
You couldn't make it up.....

Nope but I believe that some day a strain of some disease will appear that will very tolerant to medicine. A side strain of the SARS virus for example.

Unfortunately many deaths may occur until we get it under control.

Was watching a documentary once which stated that if the Spanish flu or some similar appeared in the United States or central Europe. Millions would die before doctors could get a handle on it.

At this stage I think I should write a book on my phone stories. Had my phone in the inside pocket of my bodywarmer this morniing, got a phone call and just put it in the pocket on the front of my hoodie after. Got 12 tonne of coarse ration delivered which was a fecker to get out of the trailer, my phone is somewhere in the 12 tonne of meal at the minute :mad:

The reason I will not be getting it a lot of my work colleagues got it and where off sick for a week 10 days with the flu. I think the combination of the flu jab working with some many different types of patients/ illness and the heat in the hospitals makes that the health worker picks up a different strain of the flu that's not in the jab

Sure there would be more off sick if they didn't get it. Don't know but sounds like a few people want to get it and get a few days of work. System needs to be badly reformed, some scandalous lazy people in it.

You might try the Farm Relief Service nearest to you. They might be able to find someone looking for a worker but a lot of the jobs would be day work but they do have some longer jobs going from time to time.

It might not be a paid job but it will be food and lodging.

Went to check on a few rat traps. Never took a photo but a fecker set off the trap and it flung him about 8 inches away and he stil alive but couldn't move. Took a fair few shots of a shovel to put him out of his misery.

You're going to have to turn this to your advantage.

First, you need to get national exposure so write a story or ten and get them published. Don't let the truth stop you elaborating a weenie bit.

Drip feed the adventures so it seems you're always being talked about.

Then, number two, offer to test phones for manufacturers using your celebrity as a bargaining chip.

Three, endorse the better-selling brands for lucrative reward.

Four, pass on the farm to the eldest off-spring and take hubby off to football matches.

Five, use your new found time and wealth to dream up another scam using your now-extensive experience of football.

Sorted!

I'm not surprised. Striploin, Ribeye waves between €24-€28/kg depending on the month. Fillet steak in my local independent supermarket in NCD is normally €29/kg.
