Stats show the most of them originate from Asia, there is even science that shows the Spanish flu may of originated from Asia, and its simple really health and safety here is by far beteer than there.
Health and safety has nothing to do with it. It’s a zoonotic virus caused by close proximity of man to animals. We have cases of humans in the U.K. catching bovine TB every year, usually a farmer or vet. Only takes that to mutate and bang, you have a pandemic.

speaking of Anthony Costello, more shit news, never ending this shit show


Which is a real issue with the anti-vaccinators. There’s groups of people with compromised immune systems for who taking the vaccine might not offer the same protection it does to others so they’re relying heavily on heard immunity to offer them protection.

Why would we? Last outbreak was what Spanish flu in 1918? Majority of viruses originate from Asia so ofcourse they are more prepared than we are.
A pandemic was one of the top 5 risk items acknowledged by the UK govt over the past 20 years. The ex Labour govt developed a plan to respond to such an event after SARS yet the governments post 2010 (austerity driven Tory wankers) did not ensure that the state had the capacity to deliver the plan.
Pandemics are expected, when I worked at an NHS Trust in 2014 they still had stocks from SARS, of course all that resilience is not funded in austerity world that clowns like you vote for.

That’s saying vaccines will still work. The comments are saying we are fucked. Reading the article would probably help.
Yup. Personally I'd rather caution before sending us all out to catch it anyway, so if it's a couple of months more to make sure we do it right, I'd sacrifice that for the next 40-odd years in return.

yeah, the vaccine will still work but it reduces it's effect but as he says, will need more coverage.
It's not the end of the world but it's probably going to push things back which is starting to do my head in.
Probably not a wise move but I have booked several gigs and a trip abroad in the summer to give myself something to look forward to so anything that jeopardises that is going to piss me right off.

He's using figures that the people who said them say are likely not correct.

Yeah the whole thing is adding more time to the bollocks. 18 months was the original talK and it’s looking like it will be around that. Didn’t want to believe it at the time.

Weirdly I feel more at ease than now than a couple weeks ago. Oddly resigned to the fact it’s going on for a lot longer rather than champing at the bit to get into a pub.

You've still got another 40 years in you - think how good those gigs and trips abroad will feel, whenever they do happen ;)

Now we're all off for a break, frankly I'm quite happy to sit at home for a couple of weeks, chat shite on the internet to strangers with a gif fetish, and eat too much. Wish I could do that for longer!

you pissed off about it or glad for the distraction?

I’d be more annoyed if pubs were open. But I’ve known my shift rotation since the beginning of the year so I’m not annoyed. I am annoyed I’m in the office though.

And I’m annoyed people assume it’s feet up season.

So overall I’m annoyed.

MHancock caught bullshitting again

Too dumb to work out that if you’re going to be a good liar you need a good memory, at least longer than 4 days.

Cases started going up in London before the end of the last lockdown. Mostly driven by this new strain. Not good. I suppose after yesterday's evacuation of London we will soon find out how quickly it can spread.

Typical coping cycle isn't it? I feel like it's never going to end some days but then think strangely how quick this year has gone I feel a bit better. Pretty much resigned to not going the match this season mind

The ideal would be a virus that spreads more easily, but loses some of its potency while it's at it.

Can but dream(!)

Each day seems to drag, but we're in December when I'm sure it was August just last week!

Guess that's what happens when every day turns into pretty much the same(!)

think is, even if he WAS telling the truth he's showing himself to be totally incompetent if he only found out about this a week ago. Either way, he's not fit for the office he holds, luckily for him his boss is equally inept.
