I made and received a few telephone calls,
in the afternoon watched a few quiz shows, then time for my evening read and sherry,
for tonight a huge plate of Indian food,
followed by some grapes and a read, I had now reached page 1,219 the end of the story,
and what a great read it was too, The Journeyer by Gary Jennings,
'Cheers!',
Diana called so off to the bus stop at just before 11.00, in her arms a citrus plant, Diana was going to buy one last week but when she returned to the shop they had sold out, but this week here it is, arriving home it was feet up for a coffee and the final episode of Gunpowder, and excellent it was too, with the end of that we were off to bed.

Hello Stanley-I remember you got your first COVID-19 injection a few weeks ago. I got mine last week and they have me scheduled for the second one on April 20th. I read an interesting article that England decided to just give as many people as possible one injection for protection vs the series of two given the shortage of vaccine. The article points out that this strategy has been working as it has reduced the spread and numbers that have the virus given the first shot gives ample protection for most people. The USA has about 20% of the population vaccinated and it will be sometime before Alley (age 45) will be able to receive her injections. Meanwhile spring break for students and lifting of lockdowns all are a concern about starting another wave. I wonder if the strategy England is using would work better for USA than the two injection system at saving net lives?
1. Did they tell you about a second injection at some point or are you only to receive one injection total?
2. I would like your opinion from there on how the one injection strategy seems to be working.
USA has done a very poor job of meeting the needs of the citizens. Shortage of vaccine and poor distribution due to localized vs central planning all have hampered health groups from administering the number of injections needed. Maybe someone will wake up and adopt the English strategy if it is working the way the article reports.
thanks
John and Alley
Dear John and Alley, I have to say I am not sure if the effects of one shot is working but when I had my first one I was told there would be a second in 10 - 12 weeks time, the good news is that last week 50% of the UK population was vaccinated, the problem we have is that in leaving the European Union we signed contracts for the delivery of vaccines, well before the slumbering EU did, the EU is now considering forcing drug producers to rip up the contracts they have with the UK as the EU vacation ordering was a complete farce, basically the EU is saying if you sign a contract in business if the EU wills it, the contract can be torn up at any time, so glad we left the EU, I just wish the terms had been better thought out, still it does show the EU's true colours, have a look here at the way that the EU are using peoples lives as pawns,

absolutely shameful, but then this is an organisation that no accounting firm will audit, yes that's right it had to set up its own accounting firm to sign off audits, quote,
"It’s true that, in 2015, the amount not signed off by the Court of Auditors was “only” 4.7% of the budget. The problem is that 4.7% of the budget is 6.97 BILLION Euros — enough to build 70 major hospitals or 150 large secondary schools."
and it has not gotten any better! for the full horrific story of fraud in the EU have a look here,

back to the jabs I do not know if the one or two shot strategy will work, but what ever Boris and the UK is doing it seems to be working, I guess in 6- 8 weeks time I will be called in for my second, best regards, Stan and Diana.
