    Nah, I asked "what if it's just a headache, do I still need to isolate?" and he said "any symptoms."

    I've got a test on the 12th so if I'm still fucked but that's negative, am oot.

    That's mental. I've had a cough for months after having colds before.

    He did mention to try and arrange a test, so the advice wasn't to stay at home till it goes.

    That's mad, though I was just going off the "How long to self-isolate" NHS page rather than speaking to a doctor so maybe what doctors have been told is different to what's on the NHS page or something.

    You don't need to isolate if you can't smell your own shit.

    He’s not on the take, he’s being given it which is worse.

    Though I’m not sure what the sentiment means anyway, or what the Double thing is about.

    I had someone on the phone the other day lamenting furlough being over because it meant they had to give up their part time job to go back to their full time job on less money. Bless 'em.

    Today's teenagers get the privilege of paying it off for the entirety of their working lives. Their pension age will be about 107.

    Went over to the Riverside earlier and the park was absolutely packed. Although it was all down to the kids being off. Nice park if you can deal with dead moles.

    Some hope for Team Long Covid:

    https://sashachapin.substack.com/p/c...-of-smell-then

    On Twitter, a friend, @hormeze, alerted me to some reports of people who had spontaneously restored their sense of smell upon taking psychedelics. It sounded weird. But given that I’m fairly comfortable with psychedelics, I was willing to give it a try. Also, I noticed that, in online patient accounts of anosmia, the early trajectory seemed to determine completeness of recovery; people who got it back quickly got it all back more consistently. So I wanted to take whatever actions I could, early.

    And it totally worked. Fully and near-instantaneously. Like a light switch turning on.
    Get on it lads.

    5000 people are currently in home lockdown and they are saying unless something special happens they will probably exten lockdown for another week.

    I have my 2nd pfyzer jab next week at a bloody show ground 20 minutes away.

    Edit: 20 year old bloke in Sydney died in his home from covid. He had no chronic pre existing conditions and was regular checked on by a nurse.

    Why are Australia not treating people who have it before they go into hospital/die? I get why we never did - we had tens of thousands of cases a day - but don’t understand the logic over there.

    To use the phrase of the moment, heads have gone. In Australia's case compassion went a long time ago [see their treatment of overseas nationals] and leaving someone to die at home rather than allowing them to seek help for fear of them spreading the virus is just further evidence of this.

    Also, what is the point of using this poor sap's death as a plea for vaccination? They haven't vaccinated any of the actually at risk groups so even if he'd wanted it would he have been able to be vaccinated?

    Yes, but traditionally when people get ill they see a doctor. You're not letting them do that and just leaving them to get better or die. Surely as soon as someone has mild symptoms (which as I understand it are actually pretty unpleasant) a doctor should be treating them.

    Indeed. Wouldn't they need to get that shipment of AZ on its way to PNG back first before 27 year olds are anywhere near the front of the queue?

    Anyway, back here and I haven't checked any numbers for well over a week now, but I knew they were going down. How? You may ask. Well, it's because the BBC has had nothing about them on their main page for days. After a week or so of that, we normally get a think piece on how things are going and what's that on there this morning?

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-58078900

    Bingo.

    When the government in England announced it was lifting nearly all remaining restrictions, it was branded a "dangerous" and "unethical" experiment by critical scientists.
    These SCIENTISTS should never work again.

    Here is one of them.

    Prof Christina Pagel, a member of Independent Sage and one of the signatories of the letter.

    "Covid is so unpredictable"
    I mean, is it really? I'd say the weather is probably a harder one to get right. But I'm curious to see where you now stand.

    I acknowledge I was wrong on what was going to happen
    Wow, did not expect that. So, time for a balanced (vaccine inclusive) view on what the future may hold?

    but that doesn't mean it's over. We need to get cases down even further - if we go into autumn with 20,000 cases a day I would be very worried."
    Oh.

    These people are absolute charlatans.

    Yeah things are much different down here since the start of last year. It is all about the States doing the heavy lifting independently of each other.

    I still think the SCIENCE crew are in the business of worst case scenarios. Other scenarios hold no value when you're trying to, at every stage, mitigate spread. And it covers their arse if something does set us back like whatever the surge was a couple of weeks back.

    There's worst case scenarios based on something and then there's just reading from the doomsday book, they've been doing the latter for ages.

    These people have been consistently wrong on this throughout 2021, I think because they refuse to properly acknowledge the impact vaccines are having, but whatever the reason, in any other walk of life we'd have been ignoring them (as an entire society) for months. But here they still are, on front page BBC articles. It's enough, they're useless and they need to go.

    I had some (pretty minor) side effects from my second one last week - felt a bit off for a couple of days. Obviously carried on with life, because I'm not a fanny.
