One for the Israel fanboys

Not sure there are fanboys of entire countries on here?

A lot of this depends on where you live.
If you are in the leafy suburbs then you will probably rarely come across a cop who’ll ask you what you‘re up to. You are probably near woods, fields the countryside and maybe have a garden.
However, some inner city folk won’t have access to these things, in general, and could be stopped from travelling to safe spaces to exercise.

This is true, I am just on the borders of a smallish town with lots of countryside available.

The Scottish one does. I sincerely hope not. My business was shut down in March. I can’t afford another one.

I can still work from home and mix home schooling our 10 year old. However throw our 3 year old into the mix and makes working from home almost unworkable.

Here we go...

A Portuguese health worker has died two days after getting the Pfizer coronavirus vaccine.

Sonia Acevedo, 41, suffered a 'sudden death' at home on New Year's Day 48 hours after receiving the jab. An autopsy is expected to take place later today or tomorrow.

The mother-of-two, who worked in paediatrics at the Portuguese Institute of Oncology in Porto, is not said to have suffered any adverse side-effects after being vaccinated.

Ms Acevedo's father Abilio Acevedo told Portuguese daily Correio da Manha: 'She was okay. She hadn't had any health problems.

I was at work this morning for the first time since we went from tier 3 to tier 4. The traffic at 8am on princess parkway was worse than when we were in tier 3!!!! WTF. People are just not listening or doing what is required. It's no wonder the numbers are getting out of control. The A34 I Gatley on Saturday afternoon was very busy. Where was everyone going? All but essential shops are shut. Before anyone has a go I was walking my dogs. Even if we go into total lockdown like we were in March people will.not adhere to it like the 1st time round. There are some truly selfish twats out there. The problem is they will not be the ones who get the virus and die from it. It will be some poor unsuspecting person who has abides by the rules. I despair sometimes, I really do.

For comparisson.

If you could view a snapshot for last year, same date, the difference would be huge over europe.

A lot of those airborne over Europe are cargo flights, taking essential stuff to places that need it.

Most of the rest seem to be a few national carriers, and easyjet/ryanair/jet2/wizz all low cost carriers, carrying who knows who ?

Its busier than April, but it's a long way from busy.

 

[Ban-jani]

No evidence the South African variant evades the vaccine either.

Good news but we need to get on with beating this thing before a variant in the future can do so.

 

[cleavers]

specsavers is open though, weirdly

I think you can only get in with an appointment.

im tempted to pay the £9.99 on the site I use to get premium access, that has historical views back to 2018.

you are not allowed to look out of your window.

And if you have a beer watching the match on telly at home you must have a scotch egg as well

I think they are the new Sweden

 

[wolfie1988]

Pray for informal childcare still being permitted.

 

[Ban-jani]

I think they are the new Sweden

Hardly.

One went with herd immunity the praise they got the other day were because of how many of the population were vaccinated.

There’s always someone looking to be a smart arse isn’t there?

I thought it was Wednesday, fair enough then.

It has also been announced the House of Commons will be recalled from its current recess to sit on Wednesday, so MPs can hear from Mr Johnson and to debate coronavirus restrictions.

"He will set those out this evening."

The UK has recorded 58,784 new coronavirus cases and 407 deaths in the past 24 hours, government figures show.

It takes the total number of people who have died within 28 days of a positive COVID test in the UK to 75,431 - though figures are generally lower after the weekend due to delays in reporting.

The latest numbers compare to the 54,990 coronavirus infections and 454 deaths recorded on Sunday.

Might have ready been mentioned, but apologies if that’s the case, however I’ve just read that one of the increased restrictions “potentially being brought in“ is a return to the 2 metre social distancing rule rather than the 1 metre plus.

Really?

That’s hysterical.

I despair.
