COVID-19 — Coronavirus

Why don’t the lazy bastards shop on line!

Two reasons I can think of. Every retailer now has a minimum £40 buy or you get hit with an extra charge on top of the delivery one. Secondly it takes days to get a delivery slot.

The infection rate graph probably aligns with everyones positive/negative feelings over the last week.
Pulled right up then back down today (although hesitant to call the AZ news out as negative just yet).

What a grim year.

Thing that’s really dawning on me is that irrespective of the outrage and anger directed towards the government for its incompetence from the population, this country still has enough idiots to vote for it in the next election and the Tories will get in power again to fuck people up the arse even more. People love shooting themselves in the foot.

I give up.

It also still has enough idiots to prolong the misery for all by doing as they please.

It wasn't and talks have been going on for 48 hours with the people who approve it and the government - i didn't want to post before as had come from someone who works in government. Could take several more weeks upto a few months i was told.

Your not wrong there. Probably doesn’t need to be said again but I’m past caring, this country is just one big circus. And we’re all being taken for a piss taking ride.

“Soriot (CEO of AstraZeneca) said he didn’t expect the additional trial to hold up regulatory approvals in the U.K. and European Union.”

I reckon they’ll force it through UK hopefully before Xmas, but US is going to have to wait till well into New Year
