I think you confuse the point of the lockdown, our lives are irrelevant if it hides their incompetence.

We currently have a brexit minister crying over how unfair the deal he was so proud of is, I'm sure the rest of it will go accordingly?
1, Surely they've noticed by now that there is no need to hide their incompetence?

2, It is interesting to read David Frost's predictions about the effects of Brexit when he was being paid to be the chairman of the whisky trade body.


Amusingly, he was accused of scaremongering...

Sure I read a lot more into that post earlier!
As much as i admire the work you have put in to dispelling the shit that is being spread around, i personally no longer have the strength.

What i wanted to say was blah blah blah

I shortened it to one single blah in the interests of brevity, and so it would be in keeping with the weltanschauung of angst.

Actually this will annoy me if i don't say it.

'Herd Immunity' isn't just 'let everyone be exposed to a novel virus and see what happens', it actually means something.

de Pfeffel might be unperturbed by 'bodies piled high', but we have every right to be enraged by it.

Herd Immunity isn't something that just happens, it's something that we make for ourselves.

Unless a tory says it, in which case regardless of actual meaning what they are trying to say is lets just give everyone the virus and see what happens. Any disaster helps hide brexit, and less people means less food shortages. The fact that it is more likely to kill the old means less pensions to pay, plus a lot more properties on the market at record prices.

Have a gig booked for Monday in Nottingham at Rock City (my favourite venue!), things still feel a bit dicey but I know plenty of people who've been going to gigs and have not been catching it. I figured I'd wear a mask, either hang at the back or get on the balcony however said venue have naff all in the way of precautions on entry so I've decided not to go. Bit of a drag, but I don't think I'd feel comfortable given how much of a factor our indoor gathering is said to be in our higher figures when compared to Europe.

Please be careful, its rife again where I work - there seem to be more cases now than when it was at its height (agreed though that lots of cases now are starting with people's kids, then going through the family). I'm back to testing daily as I've been in contact with so many people who have it.

We went to London over the weekend. The tube was packed, as was the theatre. I used FFP2 masks as apparently they offer the wearer a greater degree of protection. I actually found them more comfortable to wear. I hope you enjoy the gig!

Sorry, I think I waffled on for long enough for people to miss the bit where I said I'd decided against going. XD
Sorry I missed that. I was very tired last night. If some models are to be believed cases may start dropping in a few weeks. I’ll believe it when I see it though

Covid Boosters at the Kingston Centre ..... take your original vaccination card . Don't need it , but speeds things up.

Husband was asked for his original card with what sort of vaccine you had the 1st two jabs. When he said he didn't have it on him , he had to go to another queue which took longer.

Busy but efficient.

Was told they did over 1300 boosters yesterday.

I was cycling past there on Sunday and there were huuuuuge queues, which was encouraging.

Big queues outside when I arrived 15 mins before opening. Soon moved and very well organised. Quite a few didn't have cards or apps ready , so directed to another desk
Get your cards or apps open ready for when you arrive outside as they are checked from there.
Very impressed with the whole well organised process in Kingston Centre.

Currently sitting in recovery area , after pleasing my jabber complimenting her on her expert jabbing skills :)

Vaccination of children in schools has failed locally

A children's ( under 18 ) walk-in centre will operate from Corporation Street Stafford

An old friend works for track and trace, apparently most cases nowadays are spread by children with virtually no tracing possible as schools can't pass on other parents details. You either find out via the school itself or not at all, if your kid is positive you'll get asked for other parents details but nobody ever gives them.
