I'm just hoping I don't bump into one of the many clowns who wind me up to that level as I fear it won't end well for either of us lol.

And don't get me started on Karren fucking Brady.

She gives it the big 'un each week about women getting a fair crack of the whip...

A delicious irony considering Baroness Brady used to take money out of porn and exploitation at the Daily Sport and now has a daughter' influencer' getting her body out in Dubai every day, insisting she isn't breaking lockdown because that's her job.

Remember folks, we're all in this together, rank and file cannon-fodder at the front, naturally...

Daughter is quite tidy though, so I’m not opposed to the odd photo hitting the press.
 
Another 5 day lockdown in Melbourne and the whole of VIctoria because we have 13 cases in isolation of the new UK strain as a result of another hotel quarantine bungle.

More business ruined , no doubt many restrictions will be extended beyond the 5 days like last years 112 day full scale lockdown after a 28 day lock down and curfews because this CCP dictator would be after saying 2 days ago are quarantine is the envy of the world in typical sociopathic fashion.

No health advice released as per usual to justify crippling the State again , no cost benefit analysis

This dictator of a premier makes Donald Trumps rhetoric appear Mother Theresa like.

He has no clue and makes the likes of Boris Johnson seem like a top line administrator of Covid 19.

No truth , all fear , all bull shit saying this strain is super hyper when the same strain lead to one case in WA not transmitted and one case in QLD and they locked down as well albeit they had no blanket lockdowns previously.

In a communist state and that what Victoria is under the current regime in all but name a single individual out of control as this Premier is can bring the family unit and the economy to its knees in a very short time.

Eventually someone with some balls at a Federal level will have to step in and takeover the Victorian response to covid.

I have never seen such a disproportionate response to a health response where we have had no deaths for 5 months and 1 person in ICU who suffers from respiratory illness in any case

How would you go in the UK if you had a bloke like the premier in Victoria in charge of things?
If you think it’s bad in Australia think again - there’s plenty of folk here that would swop places with you.

You really don’t want to be where the UK is right now.

Despite being in lockdown and vaccinating folk at a rate of knots we still have thousands of infections / hundreds of deaths each day because of how infectious this virus is.

You just need to pray that the lockdown in Australia works cos if it doesn’t those it won’t be long before those 14 cases become 1400 cases with deaths to follow a few weeks later.

Utter bitch, always taking pops at us too. Tidy in her day, I must check out the daughter.

While we're on the subject that brain dead scouse ex hockey player has been quiet lately.
 
I am group 6 so shouldn't be too far off now think our GP. Is slightly ahead of the curve tbh.

What are these groups ?

I got a letter saying I am clinically extremely vulnerable and have been shielding. I got a letter on Monday telling me I could book a jab, nearest place was 20 odd miles away and we have snow etc so didnt book. On the Tuesday my surgery phoned asking if I want a jab on Wednesday. So I went down on Thursday and was jabbed :)

Now just waiting to know if I am still to shield after the 21st feb or go back to work.
 


Despite it being winter, despite the new more transmissible strains.


Whilst it is good that R<1, reporting of these estimates really annoys me.

This is NOT an estimate of the current R number. As the source clearly states the latest published figures represent the situation over the past few weeks rather than today

It's been obvious for weeks that R<1 through the consistent drop in cases, hospitalisations and deaths.

Weren't some of the tories rebelling against the last Lockdown so surely if they carry this on for months they are going to fight back. Same with the general public, we've done everything asked so far, if they keep moving the goalposts then there will anger from everywhere.
 
The best thing about the letter and booking it via the NHS is you get to book your second jab at the same time.
I have not yet read the letter in detail as it only just arrived. Can you still book the second one then even if you have already had the jab before the letter?

Do you have to go to the same venue as there might be more local options in 3 months?
 
That's now below the number the WHO recognise as no longer being a pandemic I believe.
Our positivity rating has been for a few days now too. But I doubt that means this time we will rush back to normality. It would be very easy to mess up the spring and summer for the sake of a few weeks in winter.

Not sure, you could try it and see what it allows - I think it did ask if I was booking a 1st or 2nd jab but might have remembered wrongly. You can cancel and change things later and have a different site for the 2nd than the 1st.

I totally agree and I'm sure everybody else does. It is the supposed shifting of the goalposts being mooted that has caused consternation on here today.

The letter is dated 8 days ago I just noticed so I expect it was sent by tortoise.

Good job there is no pandemic on and older people with little other means of contact not in urgent need.

The result of my two yearly bowel cancer test was sent second class, dated 3 days AFTER the above letter and got here in the same post.

Another good thing that Scotland did was insist all invites there be put into distinctive Blue envelopes so the Royal Mail could identify them and expedite. Sometimes little things like that can make a big difference.

Just had to have a look myself. You know, for research purposes, well worth it. Completely forgot that Karen Brady had been married to that Paul Peschisolido till I saw the daughters surname!

Yes the Canadian footballer I think, not a bad striker.
 
I think it is a good strategy to target carers of the most vulnerable as the ability for the NHS to send carers out to assist has been compromised by Covid.

Indeed with the need for the most vulnerable to shield pretty much the only way they are likely to catch it is via those family who look after them round the clock.

I was a full time carer for many years to my mum who was fully bed bound after a massive stroke so needed 24/7 care. That's why I got a free flu jab 20 years ago when too young to otherwise qualify. If she was still alive I would certainly have been expecting for her to get priority given her vulnerability and I would have had to take her there if they could not come to her and risk catching it when out too so it would have been wrong not to do both at once just for an extra dose.

I am sure common sense is being applied on personal circumstances that local GPs will know about, of course. and this is a factor in making decisions over prioritising. And who to vaccinate alongside the most vulnerable.

I agree, but I would never have dreamt of trying to push in. There are loads more needy than me. I’m not going to refuse it, of course, as it has been offered.

My grandma is waiting on a home visit vaccination to guarantee it is the AZ version due to anaphylaxis risks.
