How does an anti Covid spray work, like, where do you spray it? People, or places?

On the whole the population here has been very good about obeying rules with the exception of a few dealt with by police etc.?

I’ve seen articles in UK being slightly derisive of the Australian herd mentality of obeying rules for the greater good, but it seems to be working for us.

Aus has just approved the Pfizer vaccine and going to start dishing that out soon. My cousin Jonathon has been in charge of getting the Pfizer one registered and doing the paper work stuff in Kent.?

Aussie Mum has made an anti covid spray — so she’s not been idle. Got it through the TGA!! Good work that woman.

We’ve been mainly staying at home and pottering on which is a bit boring. I’m tidying my Mac while I decide to go forward to Big Sur. I think I have some things filed too deep so having been round the photo library I am slowly moving things about in the Docs folder.?

Apple aren’t leaving us with much options are they — a case of going right back where things just worked, or going right forward and trying to keep up.?

If I was my friend down the road who has the Mac Pro tower thats just been made obsolete with the M1 chip being released I think I would be a bit cross :-)?

I'm sorry to say that,

I probably will not be following the herd as regards the vax. I am allergeic to penecillin, tetracycline, sulphonomide, have had anaphylactic reactions to both food and prescribed medicine, I’m also allergic to the propellant in cortisone injection so if thats needed its a two hour job on a drip otherwise it just aggravates the situation. ?I have never had a flu vaccine because of what its made on, and I have never had the flu. I have never had smallpox vax.?

I must have had a vac of some sort as a baby as I had a drastic response to a needle which contained tetanus but had dipheria in as well and that blew my left arm up to twice its size. Bit frightening.?

I understand the spray if you read the story is for spraying on surfaces basically. Fancy that woman being able to get that through the TGA and out on to the market.?

I'll be surprised if I get it before April, frankly. Just hope my father's got his. He's got everything I,ve got ?+ 40 years. I can't get him, on the 'phone seldom hears it ring. I tried to write but the postbox was sealed over. I got an email from Harry's shaving kit saying mail may be a bit late. It's rather worrying when the Royal Mail is rationed.

?Indeed. My wife has had the jab because she works part time as a spare cook at a care home. I am 74 and there is no sign of me getting mine. Of course if there is an infection in the care home then Toni is likely to bring it home to me. My wife is also in her 70’s so she has decided not to work until three weeks after I have had mine. We don’t need the money and she works ‘cos she likes working.

The Government have said that those in their 70’s and 80’s will have had their injections by the middle of next month - hopefully, but I doubt it. We are still isolating.
