Leaving aside the rest of your post, which I agree with, 'pandemic' can be considered an adjective too.

So you have called my views dangerous, you've insulted me by sarcastically saying "we have scientists with years of work/research etc, but thank God we have you", and yet, just today you have said that the scientist who has said we are not in a pandemic is plain wrong. Further to this, you've told people to not read the telegraph because you implied it is media lies that we are out of a pandemic - when this was reported by many publications. That's all ok to you?

And tell me, since it is your highness that knows the most out of this, which scientists we should listen to and which we should ignore because they are wrong? Because that is what you've told us too right?

According to the academics, we had an epidemic which became a pandemic, now its endemic and surrounded by an infodemic. Confused???

I doubt it Thomas. Just keep it as proof of vaccination should you need it.

Thanks for asking a sensible question to distract us all! There are others here that can give a better answer I am sure, but I will try, in part anyway. I don't think the J&J is approved here yet, which I am guessing would be a problem for any certificate in the short term. Not that they are happening in the short term. I did read that the approval was delayed whilst they looked at the blood clot data, but hopefully it is not too far off.

I think it would be worth contacting your GP to see if your record can be updated. There is no harm in getting that sorted out as soon as possible. After that, just wait and see what happens.

The good professor is a fine scientist, reporting excellent news about the UK situation.

But she either expresses herself badly or her words are reported badly: a pandemic is by definition a world event. It's not something a country can declare itself out of. Infection rates are low in the UK, but the world is still in a pandemic - and we are part of that world.

Her exact words:https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/202...demic-britain/

So she basically says that the situation in the UK only is being brought under control by lockdown and vaccines, that in the long term this allows to get away from lockdown but it needs to be done carefully. A far cry from the interpretation of Ahmetdouas

guess you missed about the fact i took multiple PCR tests during this time, and the fact i didn't actually avoid the restrictions, because there weren't those restrictions in those countries for what my purpose was..... so no-need to get on your high-horse, and get all virtuous, i was simply stating the over-the-top rules we have in place for travel in the UK isn't the same in the EU right now

and please don't tell me what mask i should be wearing.... jeez some people :rolleyes:

You said she was wrong - why her but others are correct, is that or is it not, by definition hypocritical?

The definition of a pandemic is not a world event. By definition, a pandemic is occurring over a wide geographic area (such as multiple countries or continents) and typically affecting a significant proportion of the population, according to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, so it doesn't necessarily mean the whole world. I'll be the first to admit, this is not my area, and I don't claim to know anything about it, however, I understood Sarah Walker to mean the pandemic is over for the four nations of the UK.

That's not correct - pandemic can cover large regions, multiple countries or the whole world, as defined by the Merriam-Webster dictionary. The UK has four nations, I don't see how saying the pandemic is over does not make sense.

Daily data:

Cases 2,678 (2,596 last Friday)
Deaths 40 (34)
Patients admitted 174 (205 on the 12th)
Patients in hospital 1,879 (2,290 on the 14th)
People vaccinated up to and including 22 April 2021
First dose: 33,388,637
Second dose: 11,623,671

The rolling seven day daily average is down 4.1% on the previous week. It was reported earlier that the ONS monitoring says 1 out of 610 people in England had COVID in the week ending 16 April. That is downfrom 1/480 the week before.

Pretty much everything said here is incorrect.

Pandemic is also an adjective.
The Telegraph didn't say that - a scientist did.
Pandemic does not necessarily mean worldwide. The pandemic can cover most of the world, as it does now, but four nations make up the UK, and by definition, the UK can be out of a pandemic while the majority of the world is still in a pandemic.

Looking at the stats for this thread, 6 people have posted more than 300 times. Of those, 4 seem to just post the same thing, over and over again - nothing of substance.

Only 2 offer any useful information.

I'll leave you work out who I'm referring to :D

From a data subject point of view, you have a right to get data held about you corrected. It's your medical record, your data. In this case it's about data that is missing, and it was not the fault of the data controller (the GP/NHS) that it's not present. But as a data subject you have the right to offer information to a data controller to get your data corrected to represent reality and to ensure that appropriate healthcare decisions are made about you based upon the data in the record. Note that the data controller has the right to satisfy themselves that the data being offered is factual and accurate where other decisions are contingent upon that data.

I think DaveS is correct that from a practical point of until J&J is approved in the UK it might be complicated for the relevant data fields to be populated with the vaccine name as it's unlikely to be "in the list" on the GP system, so from a pragmatic point of view it might easier to wait until J&J is approved in the UK, otherwise it might go in as unstructured data (just free text) and then be faced by other problems.

An interesting question and hopefully my answer gives you a view on a possible way forward.

i concur with the others that there is no rush until j&j are approved here. further, the 'vaccine passports' that have been reported in the last 24hrs all talk about how they want some certification in place by next month.

as we saw when the government couldnt even produce documentation to border control until the night before hotel quarantines started...i would not hold your breath on some magic HMG certificate being fit for purpose by 17 may!
