Fuuuuckkkk. My wife just got off the phone to her best friend in South Africa. She’s a teacher and caught covid (no real vax programme there) and gave it to her husband and two kids and their six year daughter has just been put into a coma to be intubated. Talk about a mood killer. My Mrs is more or less in tears.

“Kids don’t get sick”, fuck off.
Horrible this fucker, truth will come out, lost a cousin yesterday to long covid, lungs been getting worse for six months til they packed up on Saturday, slowly got him not been in hospital til this week,
 
Haha thanks for the insightful reply.

I presume you are one of these that hasn’t left the house for 15 months and thinks lockdown should last forever

live your life :)

government have ZERO control of me

p.s. I’m going to my fourth ‘Amber’ country next week ;)

Aside from going to City and the theatre and foreign holidays I would say my life is exactly as it was before now. Seeing as it’s the close season I wouldn’t be going to City anyway so reasonably ok with things at the moment.

dare I say though I am hearing too many ambulnaces again?
 
im sure I heard on the local news tonight that 40 of the patients in north west hospitals had received both jabs? but had caught it in hospital? Thats quite dispiriting if true.

You don't bother with the self-isolation at home when you return then?
 
A few weeks ago I create a model of my own to monitor what SAGE was saying as I felt they'd completely messed up. Below are the current results. Even I'm way over where I'd expect us to be and that margin of error is only getting bigger. There's zero justification in this delay

I agree to some degree, though I think they were right to delay a couple of weeks to show the real data rather than the modelled bollox but its pretty clear from the numbers showing up now that the link between cases and serious illness is nearly broken and the link from there to deaths is very definately is broken - except in areas were ethnic minorities refused to get vaccinated.
 
Kids over 12 can apply for the vaccine here from 1st July. From 12th July vaccination is open to anybody without needing to book a time slot.

We're not doing too badly at the moment but things can change quickly, so hopefully this will help speed vaccinations up a bit.

Par for the course I'm afraid. NHS infection control is diabolical and is the NUMBER ONE cause of Covid death in the UK. It's been diabolical for three decades. Crap ventilation on modern hospital wards, no anti viral door handles etc (these should be copper or brass). The list goes on.
MRSA should have shown us the problem that needed to be fixed, but no we ignored that one.
Vulnerable people should be better protected in hospital. They aren't.

we took our 1 year old to A+E last week, we sat in the most crowded room for nearly 5 hours before getting seen.
The room was just full of sick people, coughing, spluttering. About half not wearing masks.
It was unbearably hot in there aswell.
absolute hell.

Pretty much my experience too.

I'm not going to work as often, but that is because my "office" has proved that WFH works, and even though for national security reasons, we have to do some of our work in the office, we are managing the situation well, and it's very unlikely that we will return to the old "normal", as it suits the company policy for greener and less commuting to the office. My wife has been back at work, in a dentist, since last summer, though she occasionally gets furloughed due to the number of patients they can physically see per day because of the rules in a dental surgery.

I can manage without foreign holidays, annoying as it is when I have the money to do them, and I've purchased my season ticket with City, though I doubt I'll get to see that many games, as I think some restrictions will continue on stadia, and I'm far enough away that I'll pass if asked too.

The only other thing I'm missing out on is music concerts, and I have outstanding tickets for one at Wembley Arena, that has been cancelled numerous times so far, I'll judge attending that when I know the date it's rescheduled for, and the situation at that time.

I watched the idiots protesting in London this afternoon on a live stream, because "freedom day" has been put off, a very curious bunch really, old and young, multi ethnic, anarchists, all mingling together, and all complaining about very different things, most of which we can do (or not do if you wish not to) already.

I feel I know the answer already but are you fine with the knowledge you maybe spreading the delta variant to countries that may not be in a situation to handle it? Clearly dependant on which countries it is mind you.
 
Dunno why people attempt to reason with care free anti-social nitwits - not at ten in the night when the footballs been on.

How plastered and bigged up do you reckon they are? If you were there and said it was their duty as Englishmen to spread Delta all over the continent, I reckon you'd get a big laugh and only-partially ironic cheer.
