Royal Mail going overboard with face masks

Virtually nobody gets that. I've known of one person in my 45 years. On the other hand my wife has had Chicken Pox several times. Each time the doctor says "well it couldn't have been Chicken Pox the previous time". Well, eventually the doctor decided that for some reason my wife's immune system just didn't work too well with Chicken Pox. It's never been serious though and she doesn't have any other significant health issues. You can have shingles as it's a kind of return of chickenpox. I had it at 12. My GP is now bombarding me with texts to give me a shingles vaccination, but I don't see how that is going to work, or why it's necessary. They are also sending me loads of texts about pneumococcus vaccinations and blood pressure tests. No doubt they'll be starting on 'flu vaccinations in the coming months. I suppose sending texts automatically is a cheap and easy thing to do. Your odds of getting Shingles is 1 in 3. Bull****. I know 1 person who got it. And I know more than 3 people. The vaccine is a weakened strain of the virus which stimulates the immune system but does not cause disease. But you already have the chicken pox virus in you! Shingles is pretty nasty, you really don't want it. It's not that bad, the woman I know that got it just lay in bed for a week. Very very occasionally it can go right round your arm then your arm falls off apparently. |

She was my primary school headmistress. She was warned by doctors not to let let it get right round her arm, as circulation would be lost and then the arm. |
