    But you could transmit it to them anyway? Or even not and they get it elsewhere, then you're wracked with guilt.

    "But I took all the precautions...!"

    Fuck having that on your shoulders.

    I got the flu jab today for the first time. Is it normal to be injected with a 5G microchip?

    You could but it's more about reducing that risk, I suppose. I mean, personally, the fact that I didn't hear of a single case during the EatOutToHelp out nonsense when we served hundreds a day for over the month makes me a little sceptic as a) people flocked to us, b) I worked in a small environment, c) I lived with a bunch of idiots who'd be out getting mangled most evenings. This could also be because I served Hitler, Stalin, Jade Goody and "ya mam" on a few occasions, mind.

    Then I moved back to my home town and the difference was night and day. It was end of September when I first went to a supermarket for example (St Mawes only had a small co-op) and I was taken a back at the difference there too.

    I'll even mask up in the car despite living with the same person.

    My work risk assessment says I should be doing this everyday. Its absolutely mental that anyone would consider doing it.

    I doubt I'd bother even if I was working on a covid ward.

    I left it at 'Sure, I've pencilled it in' if that's any consolation. Now praying for a hard lockdown to avoid a minor bit of social awkwardness.

    So now that I've had cause to I've been reading the tier 2 rules.

    Pubs are still open, but I can only go to them with people in my household or bubble. Generally I think that people that look for loopholes and inconsistencies in the rules are twats, but what in the sweet jesus is that one about? Even if we assume that people don't lie about being in the same household when they go (huge numbers will), you've still got people from different households mixing in an enclosed space.

    Add in the huge swathes of people who'll flat out ignore the rules this time and you've got exactly the same situation as last time with those who choose to follow them getting screwed, with the added bonus that the rules themselves aren't strict enough (even if they were followed) to put much of a dent in the numbers.

    We're going to be in these tiers for months, with a shitload of people still dying.

    Utter fucking lunacy.

    They're trying to not do full lockdown and have to stay in it, which is an even worse scenario than that outlined above. The 'muddle along sort of locking down' seems the most sensible route to me.

    At this point I've given up trying to follow what the 'rules' are supposed to be, I'll simply stay away from as many people as possible until this is done, or at least somewhat less shit. Of course it helps that this isn't a million miles away from my normal way of life, and if it gets bad enough for me to have another 5 weeks off work then that'll be the silver lining I suppose.

    There will definitely come a point - if lockdown or repeated lockdowns don't quell the case numbers over a longish period of time (weeks/months) - when (many) people will think actually I've sacrificed enough now and this isn't achieving anything.

    If there was convincing evidence that a short total lockdown would actually get rid of it, then we'd all do it, but there is fuck all evidence and in a crowded island of 65 million it's just not happening anyway.

    Personally, other than seeing my friends (which I would otherwise do 2/3 times a month), it makes no difference to me whether we're in tier 1, 2, 3, 18 or cummerbund.

    What you wanna do is set up Don Opens The Clubs Ltd and hire 50 of your mates as employees on a zero hour contract. Then host a business meeting at Franco Manca at 6pm, followed by another business meeting at the local Spoons. And then you all pile into your house for the third business meeting to cross the Is and swallow the Es of your monstrous business strategy till the last man calls things to an end at 11am as they depart your kitchen.

    Yep. Everyone is going about their business as they want, there’s as many cars on the roads as before, and most businesses have just deemed themselves essential and stayed open.

    If they've left it that muddy then they've nobody but themselves to blame. If I had a business I think I'd deem it essential too.

    You've come strong there, I applaud that.

    Went into the office yesterday for one last time to clearout stuff and light a candle or two ahead of Dec closure (moving to new office in March). 5 person maximum capacity in a floor that contained around 100. Hand sanitiser stands and posters instructing to stay apart with taped off desks; it truly was like a scene from a zombie apocalypse movie. And it was very hard to treat the place the same as before without worrying about what surface you touch.

    Later went to Brixton and sat in booths to listen to a live band. The toilet had promotion posters of past nights and the marks of many a lines sniffed. I shed a tear as I packed away my 🍆.

    It's very important that people do not forget what the old normal was like but it looks to me increasingly like that ship has sailed and there will be a significant proportion of the population who will never be able to live with the same freedom and outlook.

    Posting this from a full office, I can confirm that it's only the London wankers who have shat the bed. You should head over to the internet and find the pictures of that massive new Berlin airport opening to zero fanfare and an empty hall today if you want some Friday night material for your 🍆.

    What kind of 'reasonable worse case scenario' gets so easily exceeded four times over? Especially when their previous worst case had half a million dead by May or whatever it was. Have they over-covered their arses this time? Get lost you nerds.
