Re: Coronavirus

There's a risk factor in everything we do, and we need to look at the risk of death/serious illness from a blood clot, as opposed to the risk of death/serious illness from catching Covid.

In the current state of things, we also need to factor in the difference between having the vaccination or not, which introduces a greater risk of transmission to others from those who don't vaccinate (and also a probably reduced lifestyle for those who don't).

I think it's developing into a 'bark is worse than the bite' scenario, where people are more concerned about a possible blood clot than catching & transmitting Covid

Regarding the yearly vaccination, by that time we will (hopefully) have better figures on the vaccine and it's side effects.
