The passport in the app expires 30 days from whenever you refresh it.
When I download the PDF from the website, its limited to 30 days from when I downloaded it.
I download it, and then print the PDF, but the whole 30 day thing has me baffled.
Its not like Im going to magically be unjabbed in 29 days time, whats the point of the expiry.

Re: Coronavirus
It all baffles me.
It's like watching them perform that magic trick with 3 cups and a ball . . . but when they lift the cups, all 3 have a ball underneath them and I'm left asking myself why they bothered shuffling the cups

It is probably to stop people getting hold of someone else's QR code and using it though 30 days is long enough if say someone generated a code/PDF from the app for themselves and then straight away gave it to their friend who wasn't vaccinated at all to use. The only way of course you know the QR code is that person is a secondary photo ID check such as a photo driving licence or a passport anyway.

Unlike Raab who said there were no plans for further restrictions, 250 people in hospital, then later said it was nine people before officials said it was 10. Confused.com!

If/when the rules for the passport change (e.g needing a third dose), it stops you perpetually using an old 2-dose certificate.

First real world analysis of omicron from S Africa:

- two doses Pfizer 30% effective at reducing transmission (Delta: 80%)
- two doses Pfizer 70% effective at reducing hospitalisation (Delta 93%).

I suppose it's still early days and in a sense he is right.
But let's consider that first one, that means that it leads to that number fewer hospitalisations. It will still presumably make people ill like flu or a bad cold which is still unpleasant enough.
Even with that drop off it is going to still cause plenty of hospitalisations.
I also saw earlier that there is the possibility it isn't much more transmissible than Delta, but that the immune escape makes it appear that way, as it will be able to infect more people than Delta is. I guess that one is going to take a while to back up.

Not what I'd call good news. Previous reports suggested it was something like 90% milder.

The Norwegian party incident suggests it is much more transmissible.

I don't remember anything close to that happening in the early days of the pandemic (e.g the Chinese bus study)

Re: Coronavirus
But there are still none listed as available in Hertfordshire, Suffolk, the Isle of Wight, Bristol, and Mendip - while there are "very few" in Stockton-on-Tees.
