Every day the vaccine rolls out

Im confused as that report has a publication date of 4 days ago and Omicron is included!

I know but if you look at the section about transmission it doesn't have data for Omicron.

Probably beyond my limits of understanding then.

Im all Pfizered up so as far as i can work out from what i read in the Omicron bit, yes i am more likely to catch this variant, but i am approaching 60% protection against showing symptoms, and in turn transmitting it to someone else. That is if im right that those who are infected and showing positive LFTs are at their most infectious.

At least i have the chance of putting this to the test!

It's a confusing age complicated thing to be fair. For example, an old school friend came with me to the Motherwell match at Tannadice. I picked him up in Mill o' Mains and drove to Starbucks at Morrisons and we were there for an hour or so. Then I took him to Tannadice and then dropped him back off after the match. He sent me his positive LFT result on the Monday after (which was subsequently confirmed with a positive PCR), needless to say I was raging (he admitted he'd had symptoms from the Thursday before). So, I had a PCR test (negative) then waited 5 days and did an LFT (also negative). It appears then that my vaccinations stopped me getting the illness therefore non transmissible (you need to get the illness before your can transmit it).

Looking at that you'd think for sure I'd have get it, we shared 2 car journeys! But no, never happened.
