Coronavirus - general, non tennis related
Permalink  


Having recently recovered from my first bout of Corona (my husband caught it at a concert and passed it to me) I was interested in the current variants BA.4 and BA.5 Omicron and wondered how worried should we be? Also I was hoping Covid would be more seasonal, like flu and although it may eventually become so, its not there yet.

Although the new variant seems to be spreading quickly, possibly because more countries have lifted restrictions and people are mixing more. Its not thought to be more lethal than previous variants, but possibly able to dodge some of the protection given by vaccination or previous infections. Those who are vaccinated and up to date with boosters are likely to have stronger protection against the variants.

Not sure if anyone else has done this, and not something to be proud of. I am taking a speed awareness course this evening - sadly, I got caught doing 69 in a 60 zone, although they only take action at ten percent plus 2 over in this neck of the woods, so I was 1mph over. Darn. Anyway, rather than the points I signed up for a speed awareness course, thinking I would need to take half a day off work or some such - but in fact it is now all online; it is still a 2 3/4 hours session from 6.15 to 9 pm, but it is much better and progressive than I expected.

I did do one of the face to face ones around 8 years back (so am a bad boy driver or did well to keep my nose clean, depending on the view point!) so no idea how this will compare content wise. But I need to pay attention and make sure I dont get points next time!

 no, sorry - I put it in this thread because the change to online courses has happened as the working world in general has woken up to the use of technology for meetings etc, so the online nature of it is due to a change of emphasis caused by covid.

Sorry, that was the link - that the world has changed in many ways we dont think of... the speeding itself was my own lack of care and nothing to do with covid!

 Thank you, Shh

Yes, I'm feeling a bit sorry for myself cry

But I have just watched some of Marni and some of Sonay so I guess life can't be THAT bad smile

Tx again

 A good reason to stay indoors and watch and enjoy the tennis. Hope you get well soon.
