Their issues with idiocy are far worse than ours, even the GOP has realised their insane stance is literally only killing their own voters.

The drop in our numbers is pretty impressive. The Southgate Spike was mental.
I thought they'd beat us to the finish line but that vaccine graph bloody flatlines. Doesn't help that Dr. Fauci's been somewhat vilified.
Well it's clearly flatlined, but they're only lagging behind us and Canada for first doses and then you read this:Originally Posted by Spikey M
So presumably with the remaining second shots to go they'll be at 60% of everyone (a higher % for just adults), chuck in those that already have immunity from catching the damn thing and they'll in the same boat we are. A boat which should be called "this is now over".More than 162.7 million people - or 49% of the population - have been fully vaccinated in the US, official data shows.
I mean our case numbers. Down from ~48,000 a day to ~25,000 a day in a week.
I'm not watching the Yanks as I just assume they're a shitshow at all times anyway. It's a good system.
My cousin is in Chicago with his family and I met him at my Gran's funeral a few weeks ago. He said it's all dependent on where you are. I can't recall the figures, but Chicago was nailing it. He, for example, at 38, had already been double jabbed. He then went on to talk about bible belt type places and said, "well, I'm just glad I don't live in one of those".
So in Chicago at least, if this were to run to its logical conclusion, it'd be almost pointless and piss a lot of people off.
He said health officials were considering revising mask guidance for vaccinated Americans to curb cases.
That always seems to be the way over there. The big cities are pretty normal (albeit with third world murder rates), it's the likes of Bumblefuck, Alabama that drag the whole country town.
Fox news has only recently stopped calling the vaccine poison so that might help.
Sky News Australia is still pumping out anti vax, anti lockdown propaganda.
The US map of vaccine hesitancy is the same as it is for Republican voters. Morons gonna moron
We don't have many but apparently all our recent, sick covid admissions are young people (not children).
Are they all rotund greasy gammons and/or filthy south asians?
Labour, after rejecting vaccine passports as unworkable, have seemingly come up with a worse idea:
I say worse, because if you're asking me to test myself regularly having been double jabbed (presumably until COVID's gone), I'll be doing so for the rest of my life."We should be encouraging people to get the vaccine as soon as they possibly can, and also encouraging people to take regular tests as well," she says. "Because that is how we keep control of the virus.
"Of course, even with the two vaccines you can still get Covid, so therefore testing has got to be an important part of that scheme."
Dunno mate they don't put average BMI in the emails.
Well tell them to rectify that, emailing people with selective data points is not good for anyone.
6 million positive tests and only 23000 repeat infections, believe there's no record of anyone getting it thrice?
6 day in a row where new cases have dropped.
Not to jinx it, but struggling to see how we will hit 100,000 a day over the summer. (Ref https://www.theguardian.com/world/20...ncedes-england )
SAGE getting it wrong again.
Colour me shocked.
To be fair, they saw that line going up and thought, "Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck."
There models do seem to be generally massively pessimistic.
One of them a while ago (that I bothered to read the assumptions of) had actually ignored vaccines. They're a sham.
If I don't start to see cases popping in exactly 1.5 weeks time, I will not only watch with glee as twitter carries out its mental gymnastics routine to avoid sucking Boris' shaft but I'll also be even more certain we were completely unnecesarily deprived of our beloved clubs.
Down in Durham for a week. Absolutely loving not wearing a mask. Only disgusting unfit gremlins, coffin dodgers, guardian readers and limp wristed students wearing them.

Autumn is going to be amazing.

Crying about the backlog and staff holidaysThese cretins in the leadership teams of NHS are truly a mess.
We need to be really, really careful about locking down again. This shit can't become the norm.
Not a chance we're locking down again. It's just the same geezer as always pitching for cash. He does the same media round about once a fortnight.
It's over isnt it?
Even the North East's numbers are coming down.
Beginning of the end, lads (in a good way).
Also I'm going to a wedding in 10 days. The groom tested positive for covid yesterday.
I'm a twit
Damn, I could’ve said hi. And you’re right. Even the oldies wearing them have them on their chins.Down in Durham for a week. Absolutely loving not wearing a mask. Only disgusting unfit gremlins, coffin dodgers, guardian readers and limp wristed students wearing them.
Just had my second jab, now we wait and see if I keel over. Was fine the first time. Thinking three days in bed this time.
I had headache and weak legs for about a day. Fresh as a daisy the following day.
They told me to stay hydrated and also to stay off the booze for 24 hours. Have emailed the Yale computer science department to run that equation on the models and advise next steps.
Did they specify which 24 hours?
Are you here?
I’m playing golf right now and I’d just like to say that anyone who was involved in the decision to close courses at any point during the pandemic is an absolute psychopath.
Come on Yev, even I've never posted from the golf course.
It was very much a case of banning all fun - as soon as you let some people have their fun, then other people will want to have theirs too.
Alot of the rules we followed, especially in the early days, are going to age hilariously.
That period where I didn't see any friends or family for 70 days, but did see 3 office colleagues and myriad petrol station attendants / supermarket cashiers, and wasn't wearing a mask for any of it, was definitely a stretch that will go down in the annals.
Ice white shoes, ice white socks with navy blue double cadet stripes, shorts, t-shirt with chevron action flash, and a tossed pink sweater.
I'm on the golf course, and nothing's going to stop me.
To be fair, my mate was practicing his drives on the last hole of an empty course while I posted.
Have you taken your comedy notebook?
It was the correct decision to do so. Helped keep the maximum number in check.
Nah, I’m back home now. Came into the office for an interview and shot back home sharpish.
Though I'm not sure I could have justified breaking up my family holiday to meet an internet stranger.
And they actually reduced the prices of all the food in restaurants to make you want to go?
That’s right.
…and spread covid?
Yep.
Did you get it?
No. You see, I’m not a beta cuck and never have been.

So you could take Nan to Lunch?
Yes son. And on the log flume at Thorpe Park.
but you couldn't have lunch round her house?
Now you're getting it.
No comedy inspiration to be had on a golf course.
You’ve never seen me play.
