I’ve just abandoned any plans of working today.
I dialled into my two morning calls and pretended I didn’t hear any issues, and just shutdown my laptop after.
Got a steak pie for lunch too. Shaping up to be a great day.

People are dropping like flies.
The idea of going in to work next week seems absurd. The country is abandoning ship completely. Rightly, too.
I’m in for three days next week. My first time back in since the baby. Not looking forward to it, sounds like it’s everywhere.
Thank me later.Quote:

The devolved nations really have taken this poorly.
They have to be ahead of Westminster to push their case for independence.
Only did 8pm after. Pussies.Quote:

If they were left open longer than pubs then they’d be full on sesh wagons by 8:30.
Has this stuff ever actually worked? Full lockdown works, but masks, one way systems, reduced opening hours, etc. Has it ever made a noticeable difference?
As far as I can see, Covid overwhelmingly spreads at school, at home, in the office, at footballer gangbangs and in hospital. Not sitting down for a risotto at 9pm.
People don't need to be trusted.
Is there such a thing as small 'a' authoritarian?
Is this case surge really being carried by three London boroughs? :D
Closing pubs at 8 is moronic too.Quote:

Especially if we're going to isolate people 10 days a pop. The much bigger problem is going to be things grinding to a halt from absences.
I don’t actually know what we’re doing anymore. Hospitalisations seem fairly stagnant in the low-to-mid 7000s and deaths 100-150 per day. Weren’t we in the 30,000s for people in hospital at the PEAK? We’re at a fraction of that now.
I’m yet to see evidence that goes against what we were saying last summer: that we will never see hospitalisation and death numbers like we did in the peak. And yet here we are crapping our pants.
If you reduce restaurant opening hours your Giggles' might make better dietary choices and stop clogging up the hospital beds as much so the logic is sound but I fear their faith is misplaced.
When London coughs, Boris listens. Having a look at Islington's numbers, they're not all rushing into hospitals yet.Quote:

The vaccine numbers are quite impressive. We'll be fine.
So glad I'm not vaccinated
Only thing that should be mandated is 60 mins exercise for every fatty in the UK.
Love the fact Drakeford is making 60 million available for closing nightclubs as long as the English government gives him the cash.
Boris should tell him to fuck off.
You guys are real snowflakes.
Schrodinger's jabs, simultaneously not protecting the obese and killing off the hyperfit footballers at the same time, apparently.
Magic's lungs are going to sound like bagpipes after a couple more rounds.
But that was at a time when we had nothing to fight the disease. We now obviously have vaccines and, off the top of my head, I can think of four very effective treatments approved. We’re not in the same boat as we were before.Quote:

I don't test unless I have to. I know that provides zero help.
I just learnt that the QLD Government are still sending everyone with covid to hospital. :cab:
Shambles.
Had my booster this morning. Collapsed. :cool:
People aren’t daft are they? Was in a meeting with someone from the contact tracing team yesterday and someone brought up local covid rates to him. “Yeah they’ve been really low these past two days… people have stopped getting tested cos they don’t want a positive test this close to Christmas.” :rosebud:
Looking forward to an all time high in January.
You collapsed?Quote:

The problem is if you lock everyone down you'll never know whether you actually needed to or not. In any case, we've long since reached the stage where science is taking a beating over this, which should never have happened.Quote:

Went out in England last night, glorious no masks very busy etc. Loving it.
Indeed. A stronger leader would now be not following science on anything other than vaccines, boosters, treatment and where this fucking thing came from.Quote:

Lolololol. Was it just needle fear/low blood sugar shit or is this another mild side-effect of the vax that is being brushed over?
So why are effectively most leaders following the same or similar methods to contain the virus?Quote:
