Anyway, maybe I mentioned that, despite being vaxxed, for some reason my SNS (ie health service) number did not generate a Vaccinated Certificate when I put it into the website. This meant that I was in a "worst of both worlds" situation in that I was being totally controlled by Bill Gates AND at the same time I was not gaining the only benefit of the vaccine - being allowed into places.
I was particularly worried about this last weekend as I was going to Porto to DJ in two places and stay in a hotel, all of which required a vax cert or test or something. I've been trying to get the vax cert working for aaaages now - I have been to my local health centre, to the pharmacist, phoned the helpline several times and so on but, finally, on Friday, after going back to one of the centres where they administer the vaccine, they were able to sort it and so I could travel to Porto safe in the knowledge that I would be able to DJ and sleep.
But, it turned out that I needn't have worried, at least about the former, cos apparently artists/performers/djs etc just don't need to be tested (I think that the virus is a fan of music and made this promise to the world that it wouldn't infect anyone who was about to play a gig) - although weirdly, if you leave the club that you are playing at and go to another club as a punter you are then back in danger and need to be tested, although (and this is where it gets really specific) if Ricardo phones up one of his mates who owns that club it turns out you are safe again, just like that.
But, on Friday, the place we DJ-d had a sort of make-shift testing clinic outside and the club manager, Sergio, was running that instead of coming into the club. As he put it, he'd wanted to work in nightlife not be a doctor but at least his mother was finally happy. Today we found out that, predictably enough being that I guess he "mingled" with pretty much every person who came into club as he oversaw the tests and - I assume - some of them must have been positive, Sergio tested positive for Covid and advised us to take a test. Fortunately we're both negative.... I reckon that maybe there is a plus side to surrendering my entire body and soul to Bill Gates and producing black-eyed transhuman progeny after all.
