Isn't it quicker to write your list on paper? Whenever I try this on my mobile I keep pressing the wrong keys

Works fine mate, I know what's where inside so I just add to my list on Google Docs during the week with things I'm told we need and delete them off it as they go into my trolly.

My main issue is my glasses steaming up!!!!!

We live on a small island with a big population. There’s really not a lot going for us in a pandemic, apart from the NHS the British stalwart spirit and our generous instinct towards charity. We elected this Government, can’t see much of an alternative to be honest. The vaccination effort is truly amazing. When I went for mine this week the staff, volunteers, organisation as faultless. When asked the questions I truly felt emotional and a bit choked.

You're kidding me.

Despite being on an island, with a highly educated and generally compliant population, being one of the richest countries in the world, having a highly advanced life science sector and a health care system at the direct disposal of the government we have the worst death toll in the entire world*

Our pandemic response has been nothing short of a national disgrace. It's absolutely indefensible, and there should be a reckoning for the guilty.

Covid-19: Two £10,000 fines for '150-person' funeral

Under coronavirus restrictions a maximum of 30 people are meant to attend a funeral.

I'm not sure how the service providers are supposed to police this. Other than refusing to carry out the service, to which would probably end up in a fucking riot.

And Belgium... and it’s worth noting that the new variant has taken us from 7th to 3rd in a fortnight.

Also “generally compliant population” is something I completely disagree with, I think we have one of the worst populations for sticking to the rules. There are many countries with weaker restrictions than ours that have done much better.

I am not saying being 7th before the new variant is acceptable but it’s important to be accurate.

So Russia, which recently announced that the actual death toll was over three times higher than the 'official' toll doesn't count for example? The current death toll is somewhere in the mid 50k region but it was actually over 180k weeks ago is just an example of the huge disparity in truthful reporting.

Presumably China has had about 30k deaths as announced?

Was there any more on the stories that these new varients came about from treating imuno compromised patients with blood plasma from covid survivors

They did seem to stop the trial abruptly not long after.
