    No, it's not worth the trouble. I just find it incredible that there are 30 sets of parents who don't give a fuck where their kids are.

    That said, I have got 4 out of date eggs in the fridge.

    Apparently police had bottles thrown at them in the next town along earlier in the week when they tried to break up a similar gathering (this is suburban Surrey). Lockdown is creating this dreadful situation whereby there are no honest citizens out and about anywhere and the human sewage run riot in the hole that is left.
    Yes lockdown is the problem there.

    I'm more interested in if Jimmy could hit them from that distance with an egg. All those years of fielding must count for something here.

    I never had a great arm compared to other cricketers, but if there's one thing I've learned from watching office rounders (not my office, I hasten to add) it is that most people are dangerously mal-co-ordinated when it comes to catching and throwing, to a far greater degree than I'd imagined. I would let women off the hook as they don't understand sport or why you would try to catch or throw a ball in the first place, but the men are just as bad, with their pansy custard arms and reacting to a flying ball once it's already flown over their heads. What have they been doing all their lives? If we were all stuck on a desert island and the only available weaponry was oranges and grapefruits, I'd be like the Terminator.

    I went for a walk earlier and had to change my route because the small parade of shops near Hampton Court Palace was completely rammed with people to the extent that both pavements were blocked, mostly with people queuing up for expensive takeaway coffee as a proxy for meeting their posh wanker friends and standing around on the street with pushchairs three-wide. There were also a shit ton (say, 30-50) of lycra cyclists sat around in groups on the bridge steps (why is this the only sport allowed to continue?)

    Lockdown does not exist.

    I went to Argos at a the local retail park yesterday and found the same. Barely any parking spaces. Massive queues for Home Bargains. The only change was that DFS was shut (which is always empty anyway) and Argos are bringing your shit to the door.

    There's so much 'bubbling' and 'childcare support' going on as well. People are just carrying on as normal. Operation 'Shield the Vulnerable and let the rest of us crack on' is a go.

    That operation may need a snappier name. I'm recommending 'Operation Club Doors', but I'm open to suggestions.

    I'm repeating myself here, but fuck it: The rules at the moment are that Spikey, Ian and Jimmy can't meet up for a piss up because Ian might go round his nans and pass it on to her (the prick). In the first lockdown, the first step was to stop Ian going to see his nan (the prick) and it made absolute sense.

    In this lockdown, they've only applied that in a blanket sense and it makes no sense. There is a clear difference in risk between me, Jimmy and Ian dying from Covid and Ians Nan dying from Covid and yet... no difference in restrictions. Mental.

    Until Ians dickhead Nan is expected to lookafter herself, I don't really see why anyone else should be arsed about doing so.

    You can't really say then when your nan winds up hospitalised with flu and the ventilator she needs is taken up by a fat 30 year old diabetic with Covid.

    The 30 year old diabetic should also be shielding.

    Why? If it's controlled, they'll be fine, right?

    What was wrong with your wife to fuck her up? Should she have been shielding? It's a virus. You don't know what it'll do til it does it.

    If it were the case that only the obviously vulnerable could get sick enough to need hospital or ITU care then your argument would make sense. But that isn't the case. Even if it's only a relatively small proportion of the seemingly healthy who get significantly unwell, if you're getting huge numbers of cases then there will still be enough sickies to overwhelm hospitals over winter.

    No matter how much people are told, they really don't seem to get how badly overstretched hospitals are in winter.

    She had Pneumonia after the Flu (maybe Covid), but that didn't appear on the shielding list and she didn't get a letter. She did talk to her employer about it but no dice. She had to work. As far as I'm concerned she should have been shielding and should be this time too.

    Statistically I think we understand what it's going to do and who it's likely to effect very well.

    What happened to all those ventilators the lads at the car factories were knocking up for us? Can't they get a load of student doctors to manage them for a bit?

    Australian doctors are expected to cover everything from field surgery to hypnosis when our precious tarts can't sit and watch a tube go up and down, but they'll still threaten to move there every time they don't get a payrise.

    The problem with asking the vulnerable to take care of themselves while everyone else cracks on is that they simply won't (in the same way the non-vulnerable aren't following the rules) and a huge amount of them will die as a result.

    Yes, you are. I have friends from Uni who do my job in Australia and the expectations are no different.

    I also work with Australian doctors who've moved here and same thing.

    You need proper training to manage ITU patients beyond the scope of an undergraduate medical degree.
