This is the reason the government want to pay£500 for a positive test

Won't make a jot of difference to some people, they'll still flout the rules and pocket £500 for the privalage.

Unbelievable. This is why everyone should be fined, not just the organiser.

what happens when they cant pay ? prison or £1 a week ?

Reckon i'll end up sobbing like a baby if the news out of Israel continues to be positive. It'll be the first indisputable light at the end of the tunnel we've had. Crossing everything in hope.

Still *very* early days, and there have been many conflicting reports, but if this carries on then it looks great. I hope it's right.

And another...




Google translate part of what he says:

"Good good good. It seems to me that the positive signs of the vaccine has been found...To me it seems and feel free to correct me that the rate in the new hardships over the age of 60 is at a greater rate of decline than the rest"

Over 60s represented by the red in the graph, not easy to follow in the way it's produced but just passing on the comments of someone I follow who's been monitoring and analysing the data closely for a while, this is his opinion given the data he's looking at.

Doing ok cheers. Managing out for some fresh air, building up walks and managing ok. Still a bit lethargic and every now and then get some tight sensation around the chest but it seems to go away. Think I can slightly notice taste coming back too, smell not so much but on the right track.

That tight chest sensation sounds like what I’m experiencing.
I also get this thing of rapid short breaths in order to get oxygen in, usually after exerting myself (and this usually means following a middle of the night micturition expedition when I get back in bed).
Akin to taking in air when you’ve dived into cold water.

The smell thing for me is odd. I have crab dim smells that repel me (hot chocolate being one of them...makes me feel sick).
Speaking to the ex who had covid and she said it was like being pregnant & repulsed by certain aromas.

It’s an odd one...

You sound on top of it mate thankfully.

I am not the one making the law but if it was up to me I would send the bailiffs in to repossess property to the value of the fine. I would also try to ensure that they and their family don't receive the vaccine as they obviously don't give a shit.

It also needs looking at because for example my cousin who works for Poundland, or whatever it's called, has been told that because he's been self isolating due to a warning on the app, they are not letting him return to work unless he provides a clear test result. But he has no symptoms and is not eligible for a free test. He's on zero hours and earns bugger all.

I just received this in our free magazine this morning.

Another one for the pessimists. The latest James Bond film has been given another release date. October! I take it that means they aren't expecting people to be allowed back into Cinemas in large numbers this summer then.

I don't know what it is, but I kinda put it down to anxiety (never something I've had before), it's not painful or anything but certainly something I'm aware of every now and then. Hope it stops soon whatever it is. It's this sort of thing that makes it feel different to explain than a regular cold or flu. Went a 3 or 4 mile all round walk yesterday and thankfully felt good for it, building up slowly. Hopefully the smell thing goes away for you as quick as it came on.
