    It's in my house and I think I might have discovered I have it through the medium of not really being able to smell twiglets properly.

    A dignified beginning to a dignified end, clearly.

    Our hospital already has more covid patients than at the peak (which is admittedly still lower compared to many hospitals).

    It is absolutely fucking everywhere round here. 4 people at my wife's work, 2 of my mates and now my daughters school class and maybe my daughter. All in the last 10 days.

    We're going to have 5 to a hospital bed if this keeps up.

    It’s what people deserve

    Still too lenient though looking down the thread. Should have canned all visits from today.

    NI is just waving the new strain in. No travel restrictions.

    "People in tiers 1 to 3 are being told to stay local and tier 4 aren't allowed to leave their tier 4 area so no one shluld be coming in anyway." Thay was (some of the parties in) the executive's argument. Have they learnt nothing throughout this?

    Those drive through test centres are a better set up than the drive through at KFC. Done and dusted in 15 minutes.

    The DUP voted against restrictions, obviously. But the UUP and the Alliance also voted against it. Given how pragmatic Robin Swann, our health minister from the UUP, has been throughout, I was surprised by that.

    The numbers are absolutely awful going into the Christmas relaxation.

    Why didn't they just extend the November lockdown for another 2-4 weeks and really hammer the numbers down?

    January is going to be a complete nightmare.

    We're locked down until March and with the NEW VARIANT© being more contagious in kids I can't see how schools can stay open.

    The start of 2021 is going to be a bigger cunt than this year.

    Once the deaths go down from the vaccine I can't see how it won't improve fairly quickly. Cases are just cases, they're no reason to shut everything down, it's cases that lead to spreading into the vulnerable for deaths which are the issue.

    Jimmy, the voice of reason. Everyone needs to calm down. Remember the vast majority who get this will be absolutely fine.

    Don't think anyone here is scared of dying, more dreading going back into lockdown for another 2+ months, which we will be.

    This is what I'm worried about. My son's primary school has sent out email confirming we could receive a notification up to the 23rd if there is a positive case from a child at his school.

    Eventually, sure, but bare in mind the people that are ill now and get hospitalised will be getting out of hospital (or dying) in 4 to 6 weeks. Even if we could vaccinate everyone immediately the hospitals are full up for the next month minimum.

    Who exactly is going into the hospitals... Presumably only the over-50/60's (5m people)? Can't you just vaccinate everyone over 50 and basically return to normal as you take 6 moths vaccinate everyone else? Isn't the death rate for under 50's something below 1 in 2000 (I could be making that up).

    Yup. Although it's not going around as much as normal because of the social distancing / nothing being open / nobody going anywhere apparently.

    The twitter 'slow vaccine rate' calculators need to have their doses replaced by a lethal injection. Just total idiocy amid the genuine belief they are quite clever.

    I’d feel there was something more wrong if I didn’t have sinus shit. Snorted up a thing the other day that was like a lump of silicone.

    It must be shit for these lorry drivers being stuck in Kent (nobody wants to get stuck in Kent), but they're making a bit much out of this "the drivers are having to sleep in their lorries" stuff. That's where they always sleep ffs.

    I'd say she's in her 60s and overweight. And I assume it's oxygen rather than a ventilator. It's a big mask and she was sitting up. I always picture ventilator patients as being on their back.

    Thanks. Being in hospital at Christmas (aside from feeling fucking rough) can't be nice. Poor buggers.

    You’re doing it wrong. You’re meant to post gloating posts when someone else is suffering with it. It’s the TTH way. Magic is probably on his 3rd celebratory west coast cooler.
