    I think the airports require a PCR test rather than a lateral flow one. They'll do it at the airport for you, if you're lucky.

    Today I saw somebody leafleting for the Green Party in a mask, a full face visor thing, gloves, and using a wooden spatula to pry/push letterboxes open. They were only young as well. How is anyone like that going to cope ever again?

    They aren't. They'll morph into a weird subset of humanity whose way of life we will have to 'respect', like the travellers.

    I was umpiring yesterday and my colleague was going on about always sanitising his hands after he touches the bails, 'so at least I'm safe'. After touching the bails? No one else touches them, and we're in the middle of a field, and they're four inch bits of wood, and it transmits through the air, and... oh, god, it's all just too much.

    The Greens over here are doing less than that. Pushing stuff through the door and not campaigning face to face. I'm just looking forward to a summer of stuff.

    That is textbook new variant. It won't be a vaccine escaper though. I doubt any of them will.

    "To escalate it up the ranking we need to know that it is increased transmissibility, increased severity or vaccine evading, and we just don't have that yet."

    They make it sould like it should be the aim to "escalate"

    Someone on the news has just said that the Indian VARIANT is "resistant to the vaccine" and it went completely unchallenged.

    If this is true it's the first I've heard of it.

    I've literally only just heard of the Indian Variant then they say there are hundreds of cases over here already to beat the old make everyone panic bandwagon. If you are that concerned just close everything down again, obviously they aren't that concerned otherwise they would do.

    The Greens (the actual opposition) pointed out today that Australia doesn't have a vaccine deadline or a deadline for our International borders. There is a fair chance we won't open up untill after the next Federal election.

    Why is Tony Blair on BBC news advocating for the AZ vaccine? He’s right on everything, but this is a bit random.

    I've come to the conclusion that the reason they won't shut the borders is that, once the infrastructure was in place to keep them closed and track who comes and goes, they don't fancy their chances of convincing the population to open them again (at least not to the normal let every cunt in the world move here levels). Which is nice, because otherwise all of this staying in and wrecking the country could have gone to waste; but here we are upholding fundamental rights.

    Looks like India are aiming for herd immunity without the vaccine. Record cases in successive days. Worrying to say the least (for them).

    No fucker is following the rules anyway. They're just inconveniencing themselves at their retarded gatherings.

    I just don't get what they're protesting besides worrying about covid passports that just aren't going to happen in the way they think. Although half the crowd look like they're on oxygen.

    I took the kids down the seafront today. The theme park was rammed, the beaches were shoulder to shoulder, grandparents had their grandkids holding their hands, big groups of people mixing, zero social distance, zero masks, zero fucks given.

    It is indeed well over and done with and rightfully so. It was the first time things have felt fully normal for more than a year (save for a couple of taped off urinals with "out of use to allow social distancing" stuck to them).

    Beautiful.

    My mum told me that when they go round their neighbours for a drink in the garden, the neighbours bring out their drinks with tissues/kitchen roll wrapped around the glasses/bottles and put them on the table and then take the tissues to the bin, to avoid contact. I can’t fathom how anyone thinks that is a) doing anything or b) worthwhile. (Are they the same? lol)

    She also said when they came round theirs for drinks, they just handed them over and suspected they got called rotten when they went home. I’m glad my parents are weirdos.

    I was out umpiring today and my colleague for the day turns up, Big Joe who is a Jamaican guy who's been on the circuit forever. Greets me with a thumping great outstretched hand for a shake. Who am I to resist?

    First handshake for over a year, loved it.

    Obviously we couldn't have a drink standing up afterwards in a massive open field, but rules are rules!
