Best Posts in Thread: So what about 2021 then?

That is not how you are supposed to read the data. They tested over 180,000 people and “thousands” still became infected, numbering 6.6%. Pfizer claims up to 95% efficacy which would yield a 5% infection rate. That is in the same ballpark of what Pfizer states and indicates that it is acting as designed. RT reports data like this because their articles are usually unflattering to the US and it’s products, especially given that they have the competitive product Sputnik V. Most likely the infections of the 6.6% were much less severe than without having had the shot. Sometimes “media” can report the truth and still leave a negative impression.

I am aware you have a booking for an expert (fingers crossed!) but for reference, the tape I referred to is 'Flex Tape' - I bought some from Shopee but have not yet used it. I put a pic below. I am sceptical about using is as a flat sheet but more confident if binding a leaking pipe.

I think the "white tape" you refer to is PTFE and is used to make a threaded joint more efficient - any decent plumber should (IMO) use it when making a threaded joint. The solvent is, of course, for non-threaded joints.

 

yeah, got the white tape and solvent cement. Problem now is the pressure tank, only reading zero supposed to be 20 psi or 1.5 bar.
Got a proper plumber coming Monday (hopefully) he will sort it all out. (fingers crossed)

 

I wouldn't hold your breath....

 

Sorry to hear that - no 'sympathy' icon here but hope your problems get sorted asap.

Btw, there is a tape which binds pipes and is supposed to very effective. Not in my house currently so can't check its name.

 

Well best of luck. We too wish to travel but back to the US for a visit in 2021 and be able to return. Hopefully by then they will have instituted something like a vaccine passport or certificate that allows travel between countries; right now the Philippines still requires a quarantine even if one has received the vaccine. That is understandable right now because they are not yet set-up to accept vaccine certificates or vaccine passports right now. For the ability to travel, the temporary side effects (if any, most people I know who had did not report anything more than the usual temporary pain at the injection site) are a small price to pay; for sure I can understand why someone might fear that in spite of 10’s of thousands of test subjects for each vaccine manufacturer but then again, trying to leaf a life of zero risk is not reasonable either. So maybe near the end of the coming year most people will be able to lead normal lives again without these draconian restrictions that we hope the vaccine will make into history.

2022 might be OK. The vaccine distribution starts here in February coming from several sources. IATF is so committed to getting everyone vaccinated that people will not be allowed to choose the vaccine supplier. Personally I think they are all reasonably safe and by 2022 the country may well have herd immunity and I suspect your country will too.

And.....they don't wear masks!!!

 

I thought dogs barked ?
Judging by all the requirements to travel, I'll stay put till 2022 and hopefully by then they will have a one dose vaccine available.
Trying to get out or into the UK requires a lot of time and effort these days.

 

There are places that could be revealed by colonoscopy. That would make it very difficult for scammers but highly inconvenient at the airport check-in.

This could develop into a film script with Johnny English as the lead.
