    Didn't Josh have it (or strongly suspect he did) before taking the dog out for a walk?

    Or was that Greg?

    Got me test back negative which is good as I had nightmare scenarios of being locked in a house for months brewing in my mind. Found out today that apparently a household cluster ended up being quarantined for 9 weeks after having the variant in October.

    Greg is an Aussie and Josh is in New York (I think), so it was almost certainly Josh.

    Didn't he think he caught it off a public bin at one point?

    I remember trying and failing to come up with an Anne Frank joke about it.

    Aye. Or stay in the house forever and shut your fucking mouth. Jesus. What do people want? Do we need to go door to door with it? Get a fucking grip. You will never get a lot of these absolute drips to return to any sort of normality after this is over, you know. They're permanently broken. In that respect is it even worth wasting a jab on them?

    "If we can't get somebody to take us, we'd have to go on the train but we're shielding because my husband's got poor health.... we want to know why we've got to travel that far?"
    Because the world doesn't actually revolve around you, is the answer to that.

    Andrea Eaton, from Coventry, said she was so angry that her 81-year-old mother, who has heart problems and leukaemia, was offered Birmingham for her appointment that she attempted to ring Downing Street on Saturday night to complain.
    Aye, she seems like a perfectly sensible person to quote in a national news article, doesn't she?

    That article has, as I believe the young people would say, "triggered" me Shinners.

    Has Brazil actually done that bad with its pandemic? Its neighbours all have similar death rates, so I get the feeling matey lolling it off and saying masks are for faggots has made them a bit of an unfortunate poster boy for it.

    Well put. And even after all that, God forbid they venture into a city centre for us to try and put an end to it all. Fuck them, honestly.

    It should be priority no. 1 for anyone on the vulnerable list. Moaning that they have to take a little trip is a joke.

    Yeah. I'm triggered as well. I'm about ready to go out licking door handles.

    You just know they're absolute cunts. A fucking year of my life out the window so these two dickheads can not jump in a taxi and get their vaccine? Fuck off.

    Although to be fair to him he does have the look of a man who may have, at one time, been an alright lad, but has been ground down by decades of her bullshit.

    If the NHS tells me to drive to Wick and catch the ferry to Orkney for my jab, then I'll do it. Kay and Kenneth look like the sort of cunts I normally go on about who haunt the Marks and Spencer food hall with permanent scowls.

    Yeah, I had it in around October. Was off work/in bed for about a week, no taste/smell and persistent cough but overall it wasn't that bad. No idea where I got it but pretty annoying as we've been pretty careful (far more so than the average person, I'd say).

    Exactly that. It's not ideal, granted, but it's 1 (maybe 2) days of inconvenience to get this shit over with. I'll fly to fucking Basrah if that's what it takes.

    While Kay and Kenneth may well be moaning over nothing, there will be plenty of people of a similar age where those distances aren't a 'little trip'.

    Fair assessment. I think I might be about to, you know.

    That article really set me off, apologies. I've definitely reached the end of my tether with Covid and everything Covid related over the course of the last week or so.

    Have any of you ever actually spent any time with frail 80+ year olds? It is far from trivial for many of them to travel significant distances. You sound like a right bunch of cold-hearted cunts.

    We've given up a year of our lives. That isn't trivial either. Get there. Get the jab. Done.

    I do agree. I'd like to think those who are unable to travel will be able to have home visits.

    Have they never rearranged anything in their lives? Say there was only a Pfizer jab in it for Kay and Kenneth. Storage matters for that. It's probably getting handled like our assessments used to be. You have a centre, sometimes their nearest centre is dozens of miles away but it's still their nearest option. Failing that, wait for the AstraZenica one to land in their GP surgery.

    Why are people screaming to tighten restrictions? Do they think stopping click and collect will see the tide go out?

    I need a couple more days of case data but I reckon we are possibly now at the peak (of cases), maybe a fraction past it in London and short of it in other regions.

    Other than the terror stories on the BBC's front page I've given up reading much about all this now beyond what I see in here.

    Is the fact that people aren't following the rules as they are being treated like the uncle in the room?

    They price a bit of leeway and people pissing about into them, so it's just the New Variant doing it's thing. If it is half again as infectious then anything short of literally confining us to our homes is not going to be enough, and another reason why all of the testing capacity should be re-directed to vaccinations.

    I get the government do, but do THE RULES NEED TO BE TOUGHER brigade understand that tightening them won't make a difference to the people who aren't following them in the first place? Which I'd imagine is an ever increasing number of people.

    I'm still not convinced there's any amazing evidence that any particular policy keeps the virus under control (other than shutting the borders on day one and preventing all entries). Once it's in it appears to do what it wants.

    For all the people that point to New Zealand or Australia I want to hear more about the other 200 odd sovereign nations of the world.

    I get the government do, but do THE RULES NEED TO BE TOUGHER brigade understand that tightening them won't make a difference to the people who aren't following them in the first place? Which I'd imagine is an ever increasing number of people.
    I see what you mean. The worst 'offenders' I know for not giving a shit are my grandparents (81, 82, and 82), so I do wonder about the younger mentalists. Filtering out the pinkos and the cranks, are they genuinely afraid that they might die of it? Like Giggles for example. I thought he was mainly in it to stop people having fun; but then he says he wears his mask outside and wanks with hand sanitiser.

    This is it, really. For every wally like Giggles there are 5 other Taz’s. So you govern to prevent the impact of the Taz lot, not try and convert them all to Giggles.

    Strong testing and tracing infrastructure, blanket rapid testing supported by targeted accurate testing, and efficient (Israel-style) vaccination deployment is the blueprint to beat this kind of thing in the future. You only get one lockdown. And to be honest, if the next pandemic occurs in our lifetimes, the badwill caused by the uselessness of (these) lockdown(s) might put that at risk as well.

    The only real solution is to get on top of things early. A few times here, various states have locked down at single or low double-digit cases, and it seems to have worked. Sydney got the northern beaches cluster under control, and it looks like Brisbane has gotten on top of the UK-variant (fingers crossed). Getting Melbourne back under control was a tough task, but it's telling that they did succeed, and it shows what is required once the numbers get above the very, very small - it was probably right at the limit. The norm here now seems to be that we all have to be ready to go into short lockdowns at a moment's notice, to get things back under control before they spiral. People are more willing to accept short lockdowns with a fixed end date, and we mostly aren't being dickheads about it.

    Restricting movement and reducing the number of interactions are the two easiest ways to quickly arrest the spread. Then you need to have a populace which is regularly testing, and the facilities to do so. And there's also a threshold beyond which you're pretty screwed no matter what you do.

    There's no question that Australia and New Zealand are doing this on easy mode, because we were able to shut the borders quickly, and Australia could block interstate travel as well. Then we could deal with each small population unit of no more than a handful of cities and a few million people separately, and the virus could only spread so much. Dealing with pandemics sucks, but we were in an unusually good position to do it. Mind you, the UK is an island with internal borders as well, so there's probably also something to be said for not being managed by willfully ignorant circus clowns.
