    You forgot fat. Being fat is not an underlying health condition FYI.

    A lid does need to be blown on the reduction in transmission from being vaccinated, it seems to be hazily detailed at best.

    This also caught my eye:



    There are still more NHS staff off with other things than COVID and there appears to be 5% constantly off anyway? WITAF?

    Does that include staff on leave? If so would seem normal. The graph labels, as with most BBC statistical output, are shite.

    A fourth vaccine dose being seriously discussed, but shelved for now. Gotta keep that gravy train going...

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-59915560

    And there'll come a time when a 4th shot should be given to the vulnerable and that's fine, but if we're jabbing 19 year olds ahead of third World citizens having had a first dose then we're taking the absolute piss.

    5% sick may not be too far off the going rate either, tbh, this being a setting full of ill people.

    I would love to see how that splits between doctors and nurses and those doing a nonsense job in an office.

    Heads have gone part whatever:

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-59919105

    A US teacher has been arrested after allegedly locking her Covid-positive son in a car boot to protect herself from exposure to the virus as she drove to a testing site, say local media.

    Sarah Beam, 41, is reportedly charged with endangering a child.

    A witness called police after hearing someone in the vehicle's trunk on 3 January at the site in Harris County, Texas, according to click2Houston.com.

    Dr. John Campbell now seems to be entertaining an idea that Omicron was lab-based due to the lack of history within the population and it being specifically tuned to mice receptors.

    Imagine if that's how this ends.

    Half the non-essential Navy bods in Portsmouth (and presumably elsewhere) had their Christmas leave canned at the last minute to help the booster rollout, so it wouldn't be unreasonable to do the same to the NHS Heroes.

    No LFT's available in town today. I wonder how many people are off work because they can't test to get through the doors?

    I'm not insane, I'm doing what I'm fucking told. The government's insistence on testing has created a scenario where testing is hard to fucking do.

    I got stung £43 for a box of wrestling cards the other day. Forty three quid. The cards only cost £147. Madness.

    So don’t put “trading cards, value $199”

    Plus shipping was already $26.

    It’s annoyed me greatly. Especially as I’m trying not to spend any money (bills aside) in January.

    Yeah, gift under £30 or whatever is the winning customs entry. You still have to say what it is though, and shipping out free LFTs might raise eyebrows with the postal staff (its a small place).

    Didn't you also once spend about £300 on a NFT?

    Yes. He is going to seek 'a second opinion' tomorrow apparently, can't see that being any other than the original diagnosis except 'it's worse now'.

    Making lateral flow tests a tenner a pop (say) is right up my street. Everywhere will just stop asking for them and get back to normal, whilst the bedwetters will have to sit seething indoors for the rest of their lives. Win/win, which probably means they won't do it.

    Nah I somehow didn't get it, just spent the week over there in isolation.

    I've had that many close contacts but not caught it yet that I must have something about me. That and no side effects from the vaccine are basically my personality now.

    I went to see my positive family yesterday. Neither they nor I cares. Beautiful.

    My sister is symptomless and my dad has a small cold. My stepmum was in bed because she was feeling under the weather.

    Like the good old days.

    Apparently 1 in 10 people are 'naturally immune'* [ie just won't get it] so maybe you are one of those.

    * I may have made this up/or read it somewhere where someone else made it up.
