Just on this subject:

21st December 2020

Based on the current amount of deaths (80k), that’s £3.5m per death. I haven’t got figures of hospitalisations to hand to see what that would look like. How much do NICE allow for treatments under normal circumstances? (I don’t know how it works.)

edit: read around the subject a little - QALYS and all that. None the wiser. Feel free to expand, or point to articles. Thanks.

I briefly saw these figures shared somewhere (possibly here, unsure), but thought it would be interesting to bring them up. I wouldn’t be able to analyse or come to any conclusions, and I don’t have interest in such things currently.

It’s not just the cost to businesses, it’s the health consequences of those costs that needs to be included (when the economy shrinks, the least well off suffer most).

at a wider level, countries in Africa, South America etc are going to see a widening of the gap similar to between the rich and poor in most developed countries after this has gone (or when governments decide it is time to accept it as part of life, spring 2022 or whenever that is)
 
months later, eyes still red and itchy, but on the plus side have acquired permanent sexy gravelly voice

sadly I haven't spoken to a fanciable girl in over a year

close food delivery, neighbours have 5 a week

on the other keep costa open because I like them

thermometer to every household would be an idea but remember to enclose a note reminding people mercury overdoses are not a reliable method of suicide

govt need to entice people like me to stay home. not me, because you can't get me out the door. but it's still worth putting out there.

#staycation2021

I had a moment falling asleep on the sofa when I rejoined with my 14 year old self. I was in our form room. And in my lounge. I could feel I was the same person with the same soul. Could have swapped places and not missed a beat. Is that good or bad? Good, innit. As far as unreal experiences go, there was something real about that one. I can't tell that kid anything. I'd have to hope my lessons had been learned. How lonely would he be now? No mum, no dad, none of those guys kicking around. No school tomorrow. No dogs. Stick him in front of the internet for a month and see what happens, LOL. Oooh. That explains a lot.

Live well and be good. Be nice. It'll save you a lot of explaining to your older self.

Supermarkets are a fucking nightmare lots with no masks so many just dawdling as if on a day trip.

Maybe the people who have no mask are exempt, if that's the case there should be a national exemption card to carry about.

It would be good if the supermarkets could allow only certain people within an age range at certain hours, eg vulnerable elderly people.

Have no idea how it could be implamated,, maybe it's a bad idea i don't know.

These idiots don't believe in it but they'll want their jab. Challenge anyone of them, it's bullshit according to them but they are quite prepared to have the vaccine.
The supermarkets REALLY should clamp down though. Stop hiding behind the mask lunacy, if you can't wear s mask it doesn't stop you wearing a visor. You don't want to wear either then fuck off somewhere else.

After a couple of bad experiences I changed supermarket in April, and since then I've never really had a problem, the people using the one I use are mostly great, I also changed the day I shop to Monday, it's generally quiet early afternoon when I go. Can't do the same time every week obviously, but I stick to that as much as I possibly can.

A Derby County side decimated by COVID19 positive tests is knocked out of the FA Cup by a Chorley side who celebrate in a way which suggests they too will be decimated by COVID19 positive tests in the not too near future but hey ho the vaccine is on its way...........let’s hope I’m wrong.......

To be honest, if people (footballers in this case) can't take responsibility for themselves (and ultimately their own families and friends they go home to), why should we be bothered ? Other than they can super spread to others not involved.

I'm at the point that football should be stopped, other than at the very elite level, and even there, I'm not convinced it should continue.

At Chorley ? LOL I doubt anyone is tested before or after, if so who's paying for it ? I'm sure Chorley aren't.

The players have had tests and isolated up to 10 days ahead of the game, do some research.

plus they’re playing footie for 90mins and getting changed in the changing room, so I’m sure this celebration for the biggest win in the clubs history isn’t going to make any difference whatsoever
