    I don't know if you mean the test or his money but you're right either way.

    The Daily Mail are a disgrace with their clickbait stories about the vaccine rollout. I could have just stopped after word 6.

    We did over 900 people at the hospital vaccination centre yesterday. Pretty good going.

    903,000 people live in Norfolk. If you only do 900 a day it will be THREE YEARS before everyone is vaccinated. Slow, slow, slow.

    If there was no paperwork, no information to be given, no questions to ask or answer and the vaccine came in prefilled syringes then maybe you could if you vaccinated solidly for 12 hours.

    Unfortunately that is not the situation.

    As of today, 1.3% of the worlds population have been infected (positive tests), and 0.03% have died.

    Pretty convinced now that we are seeing/have seen the case peak. The first easing of the pressure on hospitals should be about 2 weeks away at most.

    The lockdown should spare most regions the worst of what Essex/east London has had.

    Still, I'd like to see the numbers drop right down. At the moment they've plateaued at 45k-ish. In other news, that family friend woman got out of hospital on New Years Eve. Whoop.

I did have a painter and decorator booked today and told him about it when he arrived and he just said ‘no worries’ and started putting his dust sheets down. Top lad.

    Having those results from my test would certainly put my mind at ease a bit though. Is there anything I can do to get them? I’ve still got the barcode sticker they used for it.

    EDIT: rang 119 and they said the barcode hadn’t been registered. She did that for me on the phone and result came through instantly. Negative again. Not quite up to Offy’s standards but that’s 3/3, phew.

    Another one of these charts about willingness to take the vaccine. Not to declare us too 'world-leading', but wtf are the rest of the world thinking?

    Toggle Spoiler


    Obviously the French should be global pariahs, as all right-thinking people know, but why are, say, the Germans three times more likely than us to say 'no' to it?

    The German-speaking world is a breeding ground for all kinds of alternative treatments, homeopathy, and skepticism against "scholarly" medicine in general. I'm not surprised at all.

    We (or at least our intelligentsia) tend to hold Germany up as an enlightened society superior in all things, so it took me aback a bit. Every country has its bizarre quirks and failings I guess.

    Need to get the vaccine passports on the go. No card - no entry. Basically treat anyone who doesn't have it like their lockdown never ended.

    Homeopathy especially is just firmly entrenched here. Got going in the nineteenth century and I think since it's not actively damaging, we just never got over it (also I think the Nazis gave it state support, make of that what you will).

    It was quite a shock for an Australian relative when she went to the pharmacy because of stomach cramps and basically had to bully the people there into giving her something that was not some useless sugar pills.

    I read the other day about these 'alternative' hospitals in Germany, which are all accepted in their health system like actual hospitals, having to take people who wouldn't otherwise go near them and just standing around as they die.

    'Yes but their network of technical colleges...'

    Yeah I wasn't quite happy with putting it like that either. I meant in the sense that what is offered as homeopathy is usually pointless instead of poisonous. Of course it's damaging in that people refuse to get proper treatment.

    There was a sitcom-worthy episode at the office earlier in the week whereby the one other person in here was continually stepping out to take calls from a carpet company, becoming more and more flustered as it became apparent that they had stopped going into homes and so weren't going to be installing her new carpet any time soon. There's something I find highly comedic about hearing one half of the conversation like that.

    "What do you mean you can't go into homes? Do you expect me to walk on the floorboards until there's a vaccine?"

    "Can't you just wear masks? You can't catch Covid with your hands and knees."

    "For goodness sake, it's an Axminster!"

    Before pube head starts getting lairy at me again, I did not write the below, but interested if anyone agrees with this viewpoint.

    It’s winding me up more and more. Lockdown policies shouldn’t be universal. COVID-19 is a disease that is partly lethal for the fat, the very old, the already-sick and vulnerable.
    But public policies have no nuance because they want to maximize fear to enforce compliance. Fuck them!!!
    IMO universal lockdown policies devastate us normal people, small and medium sized business and indirectly have a massive affect on adults and children, kill and create drug addicts, increase suicide rates, and in general create tremendous misery and mental anguish to all!
    These peripheral effects are getting no play in the prevailing narratives from Boris, but surely they are more important to the masses than locking down the country and printing money to keep people furloughed only for the later generations to pay the price?

    I'm now fairly confident the UK cases peak was on 4 January or thereabouts. That would project a (national) hospitalisations peak of between now and a week's time, and deaths peak of between 1 and 2 weeks' time.

    Now we just have to keep vaccinating, keep locked down for a bit, and keep the borders shut so that no other dodgy variants get in.

    Coming out of lockdown is harder to predict but I think you can peg it to whenever daily deaths are in low double figures (sub 40, maybe) and it's been established that cases haven't picked up again post-vaccine rollout. I would guess mid-March we might start to see some movement. The Tory headbangers will be wanting it ended much earlier than that, which is a bit of a problem because they are fanatics and will draw out the other fanatics (people who love lockdown and don't want it to end) to scream at them, which will be another frustrating month or so of discourse.

    We could probably get away with mid February while not killing too many more people as a result (less than 5,000, I would think) but my bet is that they will not do that.

    It's bollocks. You can't insulate the vulnerable from the non vulnerable. You can't have partial safety with covid in the community. You can't have normal work force if you have covid in the community. A healthy, covid free population means you can have a return to normal like the many countries that are back to normality.

    Just give it until the end of February and end of the winter period before rolling into tiered approaches. With the warming weather and vaccine roll out the cases will fall and become controlled.
