There is no such thing in the UK.
If you live in the middle of nowhere in Sweden you can drive for half a day without meeting a single person.
In the UK they will have changed dialect several times in the same timespan.

I had mine in August; it's almost time for the next booster.

Lucky you. Unfortunately I started showing symptoms last week so I got tested and am positive. Luckily I am vaccinated (second shot back in May) and would have been eligible for the booster last week.
My symptoms were coughing, head congestion and mild fever but on Thursday evening I lost my sense of smell/taste. I went to the doctor the next day and got tested. Today I feel fine other than my coughing and now runny nose and inability to taste. All during this my blood oxygen level was around 95% give or take a few points.
I'm just isolating right now waiting my 10 days. Good thing I've been working from home. I don't have to worry about infecting anyone at work. Of course I'll be missing Thanksgiving day at my brother's house.
Right now the worst part is not being able to enjoy food. Everything tastes like... well, nothing.

In our family that's considered a bit of a blessing.

I've just got my regular second shot.
Painful arm, headache, nausea, stomach ache...
Bad days from...
COVID-19: 0
Vaccination: 2
Yet if I don't get vaccinated I'm a risk to society and my government (and lots of people with them) want to exclude me from society
I'm not in a risk group (nearly my entire family had it without much issues), but I get it, big numbers and all...
But for me personally, I wouldn't have done it if there wasn't all this talk of 2G and such (that's why I only got it now instead of months ago).
No way in hell I'm getting a booster and make that bad day score a 3-0 for vaccination 
In your case I totally get it, of course.

That's kind of the point - this is a disease which breeds like crazy, and is about twice as transmissible as 'flu. In about two years, it has (officially) killed 5,000,000 people worldwide, compared to 'flu which kills 650,000 per year.
And you can be infection and symptom free for two weeks, it seems.
Vaccination isn't to save you - though it helps - it's to reduce the infection and transmission rate, and thus the loading on badly stretched health systems which leads to increasing death rates.
The vaccination gave me one bad day for the first jab, and some bad hours for the second, plus some injection site pain for a week or so. But that bad day was nowhere near as bad as the best day I had with the "real thing".
I know, I know - I'm not going to convince you to have the booster, and I'm honestly not trying to - just give the facts from my experience.

My facts are that I've managed to not get COVID for almost two years now and the chances of me getting it anytime soon are slim.
It's one of the perks of being a semi-hermit

The "real thing" is probably going to manifest itself as a mild flu if I should ever get it.
And yes, I realize that's what most unvaccinated people in the hospital were saying, but I was willing to take my chances until the government more or less forced it on me.
If you're 50+ or in a risk group I'd recommend taking the vaccine, if you want to go out and party, please take it.
If you're like me and not in a risk group and don't go out much (and need an excuse to stay at home), don't get it if you don't want it.
Whatever you decide... It's a personal choice and should at all times be respected.
I can tell you that people who end up in the hospital are not doing it to spite society.

In the near future it will be endemic and sooner or later you will become immune either way.
Your choice is whether immunity comes from vaccine or disease.
For me that choice was simple.
That said, you probably won't need a booster in the near future, better save that for countries in a better need.

Apparently it exists, but I cannot find anything by googling. There is something called 4C/ID which appears to be a design model so finding info on just 4C (supposedly a derivative of C) is pretty hard.
I may have to maintain an app written in 4C.
Thanks.

Where does 4C come from, who developed the language?
How about this?
4C/ID Home - Four-Component Instructional Design[^]
Edit - If I had read ALL THE WORDS I would have seen you already found that.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

No worries. I don't think 4C/ID is the same as 4C, but at this point I have no idea. It could be.

wikipedia's site has this:
4C, the production code for the 1975 Doctor Who serial The Ark in Space
Well, it's "production code"

No, but C4 will make your code go with a bang.

How about:
"
To the best of our knowledge, FORE-C is the first attempt at the design of a synchronous language for the deterministic parallel programming of embedded multicores. A FORE-C compiler has been developed that targets a general purpose multicore architecture with cores based on the Xilinx MicroBlaze softcore processor.
"
"
This paper proposes the ForeC language for the deterministic parallel programming of CPS applications on multi-core execution platforms. ForeC's synchronous semantics is designed to greatly simplify the understanding and debugging of parallel programs.

I was reading this thread and 4C sounded familiar, but only when PIEBALDconsult typed it as FORE-C it clicked.
I have seen this before but never used it. Microblaze CPUs support C/C++ and, better yet, the Linux Kernel so that was what was used in the project. We installed Linux on it with a console interface and ended up using Java for the applications (I know, resource overkill  ).
I do not know what ForeC makes different or is better at.
To the OP: search for "ForeC" which gives more results. Their project seems to be GitHub - PRETgroup/ForeC: Tools developed for the ForeC synchronous parallel language[^] but does not seem to have much documentation.
