You forgot fat. Being fat is not an underlying health condition FYI.
I have a delinquent cousin who has over 300 criminal convictions. His career highlight was falling off somebody's back yard wall in the middle of some nefarious act and breaking his leg, so dialling 999.Quote:

A lid does need to be blown on the reduction in transmission from being vaccinated, it seems to be hazily detailed at best.
This also caught my eye:

There are still more NHS staff off with other things than COVID and there appears to be 5% constantly off anyway? WITAF?
Does that include staff on leave? If so would seem normal. The graph labels, as with most BBC statistical output, are shite.
I've never worked anywhere where having a holiday is included in the absence statistics.
A fourth vaccine dose being seriously discussed, but shelved for now. Gotta keep that gravy train going...

And there'll come a time when a 4th shot should be given to the vulnerable and that's fine, but if we're jabbing 19 year olds ahead of third World citizens having had a first dose then we're taking the absolute piss.
Who do they think they are taking annual leave anyway, don't they know we're in a pandemic?
5% sick may not be too far off the going rate either, tbh, this being a setting full of ill people.
I would love to see how that splits between doctors and nurses and those doing a nonsense job in an office.Quote:

A US teacher has been arrested after allegedly locking her Covid-positive son in a car boot to protect herself from exposure to the virus as she drove to a testing site, say local media.
Sarah Beam, 41, is reportedly charged with endangering a child.
A witness called police after hearing someone in the vehicle's trunk on 3 January at the site in Harris County, Texas, according to click2Houston.com.
Dr. John Campbell now seems to be entertaining an idea that Omicron was lab-based due to the lack of history within the population and it being specifically tuned to mice receptors.
Imagine if that's how this ends. :D
Teacher? You don't say!Quote:

No LFT's available in town today. I wonder how many people are off work because they can't test to get through the doors?
Anywhere testing to go into buildings at this point is utterly insane.
I'm not insane, I'm doing what I'm fucking told. The government's insistence on testing has created a scenario where testing is hard to fucking do.
Try reading next time.
Fuck. :D
Just order them online.
He's not insane Mahow, you cunt.
I can send you some. I've got armfuls of the bloody things. Not sure what I'd put on the customs form though. :/
I've got one left in this pack so I'll be fine for another week.

It’s annoyed me greatly. Especially as I’m trying not to spend any money (bills aside) in January.
Yeah, gift under £30 or whatever is the winning customs entry. You still have to say what it is though, and shipping out free LFTs might raise eyebrows with the postal staff (its a small place).
Didn't you also once spend about £300 on a NFT?Quote:

Making lateral flow tests a tenner a pop (say) is right up my street. Everywhere will just stop asking for them and get back to normal, whilst the bedwetters will have to sit seething indoors for the rest of their lives. Win/win, which probably means they won't do it.
I'm testing regularly but only out of the hope I finally catch the fucker so I can spend a week indoors
I thought you caught it and took it to Greece?Quote:

Definitely more mask flouting now I'd say.
I went to see my positive family yesterday. Neither they nor I cares. Beautiful.
My sister is symptomless and my dad has a small cold. My stepmum was in bed because she was feeling under the weather.
Like the good old days.
"I purposefully exposed myself to a virus that's already nearly killed me once" is a strange boast.
The beautiful thing is his previous Delta infection means fuck all to Omicron.
I went to see two people who weren't ill and the one that was was in bed.
Really dangerous.
To the vulnerable (that's you) it is, yeah.
(it's not)
Apparently 1 in 10 people are 'naturally immune'* [ie just won't get it] so maybe you are one of those.Quote:
