To keep everything in 1 Post.Yes, both, and also a 3 day trip deep into the jungle south of Sandakan. Fantastic! Wild elephants, wild orang utangs, and many other birds, monkeys, and insects, snakes. etc. Also included 2 bloodsuckers, 1 on my leg and 1 on my back. Also slept in a longhouse from the head-hunters and drunk their self-distilled whisky. Boy was I drunk!
One of the best holidays I've ever had.
Thanks to Boris, it is safer in Mogadishu than here.Off to Malta on Monday with Mrs Bazzer both double jabbed and apparently you don’t have to wear masks outdoors which will be great because of the heat but indoors you do and we will, I have an exemption badge but as a courtesy I shall wear a mask.
We both will take extra care whist we are out there for our own safety.
we are only going as it is now safer there than it is here.
Haha ha.To keep everything in 1 Post.
1) The whole world is watching the UK and what happens next with Covid, ie impact on hospitals.
2) Football related, the MPL and MSL restart this weekend, no supporters but is online if you want to watch some decent football (unlike the rubbish in Singapore, James)
3) Sabah is awesome, full of wild creatures! Just like this forum.
4) Holiday? Whats that? :-((((((((((
Is there any reliable test for 'natural immunity'?
It is of course sensible to think that once you have got Covid you have got a higher rate of immunity from it as your body has built up antibodies to fight against it. However, while you can still catch it after the vaccine, it makes the reaction from it less extreme. So surely having the vaccine and then catching Covid the best solution to build up the best resistance from it?Interesting no natural immunity proof on that poll list - which really shows the government messaging.
I find it very perplexing the Government is pushing for the vaccine passports, which have a fairly minimal effect on refusing transmission, yet refuse to acknowledge natural immunity, which provides far superior, likely close to 100% protection from infection or transmission.
Fair point rising your natural immunity concept, which was never applied into the poll. As I live in Singapore, the natural immunity theory hasn't been addressed or really discussed by my government nor the heath minister (that I am aware off). They are actually quite opposed to that theory & try to keep it out of the local media. Since about 4 weeks ago they have rolled out vaccinations jabs to those over 12 years old.Interesting no natural immunity proof on that poll list - which really shows the government messaging.

Re natural immunity.
Radicalox hasn't answered my queries, but I can answer one.
I was looking to see how we'd done in the Olympics overnight, and the first thing I read was this (on the BBC Sport website) "Swimmer Tom Dean sensationally clinched Britain's fourth gold of the Tokyo Games on day four of the Olympics, six months after he contracted Covid for a second time."
So natural immunity does not seem to be a 'thing' any more than it is with flu or the common cold. You can still get it - even if you've had it. Reading up about it, the current theory is that getting the disease might give *some* immunity for a limited time (and hence why there are plans for booster jabs in the Autumn)
I haven't actually seen that document before. Will give it a read when I get a chance !You obviously know what you are talking about. What are your opinions on the second post (quoting the SAGE studies)? That implies to me (a layman!) that protection is far from 100%?
