I really hope I'm wrong here.
I'm sure you won't be disappointed.
I really hope I'm wrong here.
In other news Boris has held a press conference to announce the measures he's taking to deal with the Indian Variant:
Nothing.
You appear to prefer the hyped up urban mythology you read on the net.Compare that with many countries that clearly fiddle their figures downwards? I don't believe we get the truth and I certainly don't believe the hyped up nonsense you get from the majority of the British press.
And the urban mythology on the net doesn't do that?Our papers embelish almost everything and they are more likely to create the news rather than report it.
There are rules for arrivals to follow, e.g. tests before arrival and during confinement, confinement on arrival, paperwork to complete. etc.Hope they're not planning to cancel or delay unlocking. If there really is a danger from the latest new variant (strange how they're always 50% more transmissable/deadly than the last flavour ) then how did it get here so quickly? Welcomed in by the government with the 20,000 people coming into the country daily. Don't suppose they could ban Indians due to cultural sensibilities. Dhingies still coming across The Channel. It's almost like this new variant was welcomed in, maybe because they're reluctant to let us have any freedoms back. Maybe we should just let it rip, because we can't go on jamming the brakes on every 5 minutes. It's exactly like Xmas - chink of freedom then take it away again. It's looking like the promises of freedom for mass experimental vaccination will just be yet another broken promise. Suppose people need some hope to cling to.
There are rules for arrivals to follow
Serco are supposed to police the rules.And of course everyone obeys the rules
Morning guys,
Just a bit of a personal update, I live in one these Indian variant surge areas (Formby, Liverpool) and I came down with Covid 2 weeks ago, which was confirmed with a PCR test. They don't tell you want variant you have, but putting 2 + 2 together I guess I've had this new variant, and hence I'm part of the problem. I have no idea where I got it from either.
I thought I might have had Covid back in early 2020 at the start of the pandemic when I had a cold I couldn't shift for weeks, but at that time there wasn't mass testing to confirm/deny. However, this past couple of week I've been hit pretty hard by the virus - not needed hospital or anything, but really felt like crap, terrible cough with luminous green phlegm and just felt wiped out.
My other half, who's had her first vaccine does 8 weeks ago, managed to avoid catching it from me to start with, but unfortunately last week she also tested positive for Covid too. It's affected her differently and basically she's been sleeping about 18 hours a day.
We're on the mend now but it certainly hasn't been a nice experience and certainly a lot worse then our possible previous encounters with Covid.
Of course, everyone is different and some people have no symptoms at all if they get covid. Personally I think the country needs to get back to some degree of normality, but I would just say that everyone should still respect the hands, face, space guidance nor assume that the vaccine gives you protection against catching Covid or getting ill (albeit it may just be to a lesser degree of seriousness).
Stay safe folks.

mottie going back to work...Well, I was thinking of returning to work in the next few weeks as I’m having my second jab next Wednesday.
Always an excuse to milk the taxpayer...However, all I see and hear going past my workshop in East London are Indians/Pakistani's hawking up and gobbling on the pavement and that’s mainly the females! I think I’ll delay my return for at least another month or so and see how things pan out with this Indian variant first.
