Fair play then dude.
On a serious note, do you have as much faith in other sectors coming out of this ok?
Most construction sites are still closed. Restaurants not open. Travel industry?

As has been mentioned before, there is a trial ongoing looking at heterogenous vaccination; pfizer jab with AZ booster.
Heterogenous vaccination isn't uncommon. Anyone who has had a tetanus booster won't have has the same vaccine as first time around. For kids getting a whooping cough vaccine (which is usually a combo anyhow, tdp), given the gap between boosters, its pretty common for the two vaccines to be different, and no one really worries (and there is evidence that a heterogenous strategy results in a better level of immunization). I'm not sure such a strategy has arisen through clinical studies, but just through common practice, and then validated by clinical studies.
Most (all?) of the vaccines on offer involve the spike protein in some way. When presented with the antigen (the protein) elicits a polyclonal immune response; in effect, your body produces hundreds of different antibodies that bind to that antigen. Some will bind better than others. The booster (simplistically) is just a reminder to the body, using the same antigen.If the booster is presenting the same antigen, in principle, it shouldn't matter which vaccine is used as a booster. In some ways, the AZ vaccine is a conventional vaccine (analogous to an attenuated vaccine), so might be better as used as a booster (ie, pfier-->AZ might be better than AZ-->pfizer).
I am certain that if winter boosters are required, these won't be the same as what you would have had first time around (even allowing for slight modifications in the antigen). ie. they won't be doing AZ primary + AZ booster + modified AZ booster for person A and pfizer primary + pfizer booster + modified pfizer booster for person B. I said before, I suspect the pfizer vaccine will go away; they promised to bring out a lyophilized version and haven't yet. Merck's oral vaccine failed, but an oral vaccine might make a comeback, because its so easy to deliver at scale.

How many people want to bother getting a job right now? Not many want to put themselves out there.
Free market capitalism at its best? Pfft.
Our fee revenues are up around 25% this year compared to the equivalent period 12 months ago.
We have had to boost salaries to keep people and all staff have had a 10 percent bonus.
It’s been our best year ever.
Why is that Scobie, is it due to Covid or was it going to happen anyway (as in your companies growth is exponential)?

On the bright side, if there is one in regards to covid-19, at least no one died of old age or natural causes this year or the last .Covid took them all.
They probably weren't wearing face masks or observing 2-m social distance as well, what fools.
Can anyone tell me if smells for example body odor or tobacco smoke travels through the air in a similar way to the virus? When I walk down the street observing 2 metre social distance I can sometimes smell some people's stink or their cigarette smoke.

Hard to tell. We are baffled. April and May last year was very quiet as clients put bit projects on hold, but once they realised it was a longer term issue they ploughed ahead.
Most firms of our size grow 5 percent or so a year; but this year has just been ridiculous. The legal market in general has done well, and the legal market is only a reflection of business activity.

Back on topic, I was vaccinated yesterday. No side effects at all. A friend who got jabbed Monday has been achy for much of the week, but he’s always been a bit of a whiny hypochondriac so I didn’t expect much to be honest.
I feel fit as a fiddle although I do have a bizarre temptation to go online and buy Microsoft products and eat children.
Apart from that: all good.

Yeah, without hesitation, 2020 the best year ever .....
Though, given the expected economic downturn 2021 - 2023 much slower, we see a lot of things got pulled forward to the first months 2021.

The 1.5 - 2.0 meter (or 6 feet if you still live the old-fashioned way) are to let the "large" droplets fall down to the ground before reaching the other. That's expected to be over 90% of the virus particles spit out by an infected person. It's not perfect, though 10 meters would only work in the Sahara.
Add to that, that the volume of the ball where the virus particles move into, goes with the third-power of the radius and you (can) understand the Covid-19 virus particles concentration goes down pretty rapidly, with the distance. (Of course, the virus distribution into that ball is not uniform, though the same dilution principle applies, because the initial distribution is neither uniform).
So, you despite you smelling the cigarette stenches >2m away, the Covid-19 (not detectable by humans) stench only contains a fraction of the virus particles, compared to close by a Covid-19 infected person. Less virus particles, less infection chances.
The 1.5 - 2.0 meter is not perfect, though it just lowers the R0, which is at the pandemic level the important item.

Great to notice, it helps to be a little persuasive, when debunking all those Social Media gossips.

Actually, slight update to my vaccine experience.
Around 24 hours after the jab I felt a bit feverish like I was coming down with flu. It was around 7pm, so I took a paracetamol and had an early night. I was fine by morning.

Keep in mind your "fine" would be an unconscionable state of affairs for many old chap.

I am envious of you lot over there getting your jabs already. Will be some months before I can get one.
Friend also reported feeling shivery and achy like getting the flu - her symptoms came on within a couple of hours and she said she felt like she had a hangover when she woke up.
I hope I can get more be on. a Friday

You’re envious of us? Aren’t you in Australia or New Zealand, almost completely free to do whatever you want with next to zero cases?
I watched in awe as thousands of Aucklanders gathered at a concert in Western Springs this weekend. At first I thought it was from years ago.
Believe me: the world envies you.
