    Supposed to fly to France tomorrow. They require a negative PCR test within 48 hours. My wife booked us to get tested this morning, but the woman just said we should get the result in 2-3 business days, so now my wife is chimping out. There is a place that gives you results within an hour in the airport, for $250.

    I never stopped WFH

    Even managed to swerve going in for a phone upgrade: they're posting me out a new one. Now if I could just get back to not having to smash 40 hours a month overtime to meet deadlines it would be all gravy.

    Looking at the numbers as well, they're going to have to do a hell of a lot more than send people home to work if they want to keep hospitalisations under 1,000 a day.

    Probably the most costly thing they could do, with the least benefit.

    It sounds like they think Omicron is fine-ish in a highly vaccinated country but going caution for caution's sake again.

    You can't be this thick, surely. It's not the COVID pass that generates the £ it's the vaccine that you need to have to get one that does.

    Is it? Boris Johnson cheats on his partners and lies about everything. Having seen him do it (and, what's more, constantly get away with it and win things) are you more or less likely to do so? It's a bit like saying you only haven't raped anybody because you couldn't hack prison.

    Couple that with booster vaccines now and then another one when we've reformulated it. You couldn't make this up.

    Is there any evidence of this? I thought they'd just gone with reduces severe illness (ie the main point), but by focusing on cases and transmission the waters are somewhat muddied allowing for [endless] restrictions.

    Thought Moyes' comments were strange to that end today. Wanting to know the person next to you is vaccinated only really works if that is of any benefit to you (which the fear-mongering would suggest not seeing as the general population is vaccinated to the eyeballs) unless you're some sort of super altruist and are worried about maybe killing them if they aren't. It's not a great conspiracy though, it's just weak leaders doing stuff for the sake of it and worst case scenarios being allowed to be the de facto starting point for policy.

    The rampant case numbers would suggest otherwise, or at least that it doesn't that much.

    Don't get me wrong, I don't think it's a grand conscious conspiracy, but I'm in increasingly less doubt that money is the underlying motivating factor that keeps driving this shitshow forward.

    I’m not convinced. The likes of Pfizer and AstraZeneca are multi-billion dollar, multi-national powerhouses in the vaccine / pharmaceutical world. They’d still be those things with or without a covid pandemic.

    That's the same as saying "there's no way that MP could have done anything against the public interest to feather his own nest as he's already a millionaire".

    It would also make Pfizer and AstraZeneca the first multi-billion dollar, multi-national powerhouses to say "yeah, we've earned enough money now, let's stop driving that revenue stream".

    Correlation doesn’t equal causation. They might be profiting off this pandemic (and thank god they are), but it doesn’t automatically mean they are driving the fear train and forcing governments to give boosters.

    No, but they're a business and businesses ultimately exist to maximise profit, even ones that are science based. Their execs will be earning or on for an absolute fortune from this too.

    Kiko's desperately putting together a collection of medical research papers he has no clue about to try and keep the iT rEdUcEs TrAnSmIsSiOn motto alive. Just replace it with 'Baaaaaaa' lad.
