Despite the huge rise in cases here again yesterday, intensive care numbers dropped 20%. Anyone not vaccinated at this point is dumber than stupid.
I guess they'll be a point where the kids reach herd immunity. Then we're home and dry!
Whilst the fixation remains on case numbers, which will continue to be the case as it empowers those who wish to interfere with the lives of others/prevent a resumption of pre-covid normality, we'll never be home and dry.
We had our health bod, who is a living saint in the eyes of many it would seem, greeting about 'record case numbers' today [59although that does translate to 59k in the UK] and the need for all the 'NPIs' like masks and everything. There's 1 person in hospital with it, and I don't think they're even in intensive care. It's mental. Cut to Jimmy . . .
Case numbers are completely pointless when death numbers are so much lower now. What should have been done from day one was deny anyone unvaccinated access to hospitals, unless medically proven they couldn’t take it.
If my daughter class is anything to go by we must be steamrolling towards that. There's only 14 kids in her class, 4 of them had Covid over half term and another is off this week with it.Originally Posted by Dquincy

One of the dads is balls deep in the Long-Covid Con. Signed off for 2 weeks because he "can't think straight". He's alright to go down the pub though.

I got vaccinated so I’m better than you. Then again that’s probably the story of your life.Man's sat there with a BMI of lord knows consuming only things the colour of my ball sack and he spouts this

My girlfriend is on chemo medication after a catastrophic GP fuck up (covid related obv).
So I guess that makes her vulnerable ergo me having to get it.
Simp.
Man, you are so close to getting the point
Ok going to ask what are you worried about? I don’t think someone in their 30’s undergoing chemo is probably any more vulnerable than someone in their mid-70’s statistically so why bother?
If you’ve made it this far you may as well see it through to the end.
No and I know it doesn't stop you getting it and we've both had it plus she's getting a booster so it's all a bit meh but just in case.
Which is?

I've rep'd him lads.

Is all that uniserv stuff true or just some tinfoil hatting?
I dont know what uniserv is sorry.
The problem is increasingly that the loonies, whilst obviously loonies, as is ever the case, are going to end up on the right side of the argument. Shutting down society, in any sort of form, because a person in their 20s contracts a virus which is unlikely to have any pronounced effect on them is well past shark jump territory.
I love that the story has the outbreak rising to 3, with a case in Katherine, just the trifling 320km from Darwin. A bit like if the south east of England were to shut down on the back of a case in London, and the ANOTHER CASE in Brussels (or Leeds).
It's a great outlet for the latent authoritarian urges in many.
Either that or, wait for it, heads have gone.
Masked up solo drivers are back so it's definitely Column B.
It's a perfect storm of both columns in tedious union.
Surely when it opens up the FIFO workers will spread covid like wildfire.
I had no idea that PNG is 99% Pentecostal and Evangelical.
Just 1.7 per cent of PNG residents are vaccinated against COVID. Why are they so resistant?
As one group protesting a vaccine drive recently chanted, “Karim 666 chip goh!” or “Get out of here with Satan’s microchip”.

Can we ban Shinners please?
Sounds like they were fast-tracked to their inevitable outcome.
I'm a twit
I'm not sure why I put this in here rather than the News thread, but here we are.
Almost as if getting GP's, Nurse Specialists, the DWP and whatever third party they've outsourced to speak to each other is made difficult by a pandemic. And difficult in the first place.
Blood and failing intestines on your hands Shinners. Shame on you.
Nah, it’ll be one of the other dozen pair of hands the cases fall through. Like how my mam had her motability stopped because some DWP bloke ticked the wrong box.
I went to London today, and behind every mask was a foreign accent. We've won.
It's London. Everyone has a foreign accent.
Dutch experts recommending a lockdown, no sign of cases going down from yesterday's numbers and my GP has just issued a global message directing people to not shout and swear at their staff. Why the fuck am I still commuting in ffs.
It's over, Taz. Your best bet is to accept it and become the office 'character' again.
We’re likely going to be going back to working from home under the same rules as earlier this year and I wouldn’t be surprised if pubs and all were closed again before the month is out.
My work have started pushing for us to do a day in the week in the office. I need to figure out a way of saying i don’t think it’s a good idea due to the number of covid cases, without coming across as an anxious melt.
In reality I just don’t really want to, and think everyone saying “oh I just really miss seeing each other and chatting to people in corridors” are doing working from home wrong.
I'm a twit
Anyone that declared COVID over was a tad naive. Just wait until the temperature drops properly.
About 50:50 defiance and wishful thinking.
It depends what we mean by over. Will there continue to be cases? Yes. Will it cause hospitalisations and deaths? If the vaccine is effective then this should remain at mostly no.
There will be cases. There will be deaths. There will be no lockdown. Just Mark Noble.
Turtle.
"The Gang Goes Into Lockdown"
Hold on, are the majority of you lot still WFH and/or on-off days?
I assumed everyone was pretty much back to normal by now.
WFH until the end of this month. Then we’re in the office 2 days a week. Unless they change their minds.
I go into the office on Wednesdays. This week I was in Monday and Thursday and I was exhausted.
Arsed getting back to 3 days in the office.
I've been 60% in since moving. Was one day a week in London before.
Mug.
Nah 1 post-work pint and I answered my own question. Society is thawing and we out here now fam
But yeah, as I've maintained since the start, there ain't no future in the office.
Only the melts are still working from home.
