"I am fine so everyone else must be lying". Deary me.
Yep I’m fine you idiot as are the vest fucking majority of the country. Wake up and smell the coffee. Fucking bowing down to a clueless government who don’t know their ass from their elbow brain washing people with shite about bubbles. These arent bubbles. These are your mum, your dad, your gran, your brother. The people you share DNA with, the people you shared food with, that gave birth to you and the government have managed to convince you in 9 months these are now the most dangerous people you can come in contact with. Get a grip. Your own family are going to be much cleaner and safer than some stranger at work that you have worked with for the whole of 2020 and you are still here now to tell the tale yet in one day you are going to end your family. Yeah right pull the other one
 
I thought my coughing and sore throat, bad as it is/was, would be the end of it.

I can't quite explain what happened to me when I went to bed last night, it was like some bizarre out-of-body-experience.

I was asleep for about an hour when I jumped awake with a horrible metallic taste in my mouth?

I couldn't believe it, soaked head-to-toe in ice-cold sweat, like I'd been for a cold shower in my T-shirt.

I'd no temperature, didn't feel hot, whatsoever, but spent the rest of the night with the shivers.

I'm in front of my desk today, never really have sick days, but there is little snap in my legs.

I consider myself pretty fit, but it just goes to show how it can grab a hold quickly even after four days in.

I'm even more fully appreciative now how easy it is to kill older people or those who have underlying health conditions.

My wife is still tired but my 13-year-old boy is pretty much back on form after nine days in for their own positive results.

We are all out of a 16-day isolation on New Year's Eve. There is hopefully some symbolism I want to take from that...

Stay safe my fellow Blue Mooners. I've made more friends on this board during the last ten months, than I have in ten years in my 'normal' day-to-day life.

They say you find out who your true friends are when the chips are down, I've since discovered all these people I've worked alongside down the years are only there if you can remain useful to them.

Have a wonderful Christmas, best you can, knowing I will see many of you for the first time in hopefully a brighter 2021.

Always been the case. If you ever win big on the lottery you will find out you have friends you didn't even know existed.

Watch the death toll in a few weeks because of this attitude.

everyone wants normality and to see the family - but we know there's a vaccine which can make that all possible in a few months, why not just wait.
 
Throw a sickie.
Better they do now than gran and granddad do in icu in January. That is the reality of this.

If the government could only get that messaging like this is far more important than some daft catchphrase like moonshot or have yourself a merry LITTLE Christmas.

A pandemic is the wrong time to try to be clever with words. It is the job of all politicians right now to be clear about the danger.

You see someone walking towards a hole you scream STOP!

You do not say - Excuse me but your current path of perambulation is taking you in the direction of a..... Followed by ooh ****!

Followed by - we were considering carefully how best to avoid the hole so we were just on the verge of concluding that we should call for them to stop when unfortunately it got too late. We had to carefully consider the actual danger caused by the hole if they fell into it versus the possibility that it might not really be that deep and they might need to be going somewhere.

Having the same DNA with people who you lived with years ago and gave birth to you decades ago, makes no bleedin difference whatsoever to a virus in 2020.

We are all just collections of cells that a virus wants to live off. The fewer people we come into contact with reduces the chances of spreading and contracting that virus.

you do understand that part of life includes death. Trying to run from something that isn’t going away. I feel sorry for those spending their last Christmas scared to see their loved ones because of this clueless government.

businesses are ruined, mental health issue over the next five years will sky rocket and the future generations are financially fucked.

All because of a virus that won’t kill the vast majority of people.... bit like every other virus out there eh!

I can't believe we're a year down the line with this thing and there's still people who just don't get it.

Terrorists wouldn’t kill the vast majority of people, but you wouldn’t go and stand near one if he was shooting people in a street.

As every other Government is totally under control with the virus in check

There is one difference between young idiots and older idiots. Young idiots think they are immortal. Older ones at least know they are not. It seems to make a difference to their understanding of the value of all life. Not just their own.

I had a rant on here this morning and said it wasn’t directed at anyone on here. I was wrong, it’s directed at you.

Do you have absolutely no ability to comprehend how overrun our hospitals would be if we all just pretended it didn’t exist? I mean... just actually think about it. Unrelenting exponential growth, and unrelenting death, both directly and indirectly due to covid. You are hiding behind the governments failings and thinking it excuses your own disregard for the rules. It doesn’t.
 
The Gov UK dashboard has confirmed the plans for data release over Christmas.

England will still report cases and deaths every day, Even Christmas day.

Wales will NOT report at all on Christmas Day and New Years Day.

Northern Ireland will NOT report on any day from tomorrow to 28 December.

Scotland will not report after tomorrow until 5 January apart from 29, 30 and 31 December.

Because this means nations will report several days data in one go when they have a day they are doing this Gov UK advises you to treat all information published over the next two weeks after tomorrow 'with caution'.

There have been 72,244 excess deaths this year (and that’s only up to 4th December). Greater Manchester hospitals were saying they were overrun in October, never mind now when things are much worse than they were in October.

Could you just imagine how many excess deaths and how bad hospital over capacities would be if all 67m people in this country had the attitude of @itsnevereasy?
 
All these people who have this selfish approach would be the first to demand compensation if they got run over by a bus and needed emergency treatment that they would not get that might change their lives for decades to come. That would be someone else's responsibility then. But their actions will be why that happened.
