Is Monday and for the next few weeks just the equivalent to Pox parties?

Everyone else batten down the hatches and just let it rip around the ones who are least likely to die from this in order to get to the Holy Grail of herd immunity?

It doesn't matter what I do or do not expect. It's funny that people are trying to lecture me on travel. I speak 5 languages, have lived in 3 different countries, and travel regularly. I just made the point that it is easy to break the rules on the continent if you wanted to.

hahahahahaha STOP LAUGHING AT ME I SPEAK FIVE LANGUAGES

Seems train companies can waive Scottish guidance on social distance too...

Funny how train companies are still keen to soak their trains and stations in disinfectant

COVID-19 rarely spreads through surfaces. So why are we still deep cleaning?

The coronavirus behind the pandemic can linger on doorknobs and other surfaces, but these aren’t a major source of infection.

Covid: PM and chancellor not isolating after Javid test

Labour questions the "VIP testing" regime allowing them to work after Sajid Javid tested positive.

Good idea inschools

Cnuts. One rule for them and another for everyone else. Gove did exactly the same after the Champions League Final.

Yep

 

[Grendel]

Yep

The text on that reference is wrong though half a million people don’t have to legally isolate

 

[wingy]

So what about France and the bit of a stink about isolating on return from there?
I thought the beta variant was around the same level as the kent variant?

I thought that too. Its the Johnson Variant that is ripping through the country and causing the hospitalisations.

Thought I heard on sky this morning that it was five million, must have got my noughts crossed

True they’ve been pinged only those contacted by test isolate trace (tit) have to

That’s the forecast by a months time I think

Just been clarified on Marr that might induce more vaccine escape than Indian one.

Ah.
Sounds like adolescents may need to be vaccinated to reach herd, but JCVI not expected to recommend.

 

[wingy]

What is all the commotion around work absence and shortages, Christ we got through the first wave.
Better get your 18 roll packs of bogroll in, keep Astute on plenty of overtime.

I've also lived in four countries, not three, but I don't really count the USA because the amount of acclimatisation needed is so insignificant comparatively.

Where do you live again?

 

[Skybluefaz]

Fucking strong Chris Finch vibes, just waiting for 'I read a book a week' and a throwing challenge to be issued.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

That’s right that’s why things will change and it’s hoped it runs through without significant hospitalisation and death which with the vaccine is likely. Bloody high risk though

Could be correvt

Infection should offer at least as good protection as vaccination, particularly if you’re ‘inoculated’ with Delta instead of vanilla Covid

In fairness, people were incapable of reading travel rules before having a pop. There has been quite a bit of silence since, @SBT being another guilty party.

Could be because we adopted their model I guess.

I feel like I've bit hit by a few bricks after jibbing in Wembley last Sunday. COVID, you win.

Get the point but the story is incorrect, being pinged by the app is not an legal obligation

 

[skybluetony176]

You lucky lucky bastards

I think that theory had already been debunked in practice

You have to be the most overly defensive & easily offended person on here

Beep beep beep. This bad idea is reversing

Covid-19: PM and chancellor self-isolate after rapid U-turn

It comes after anger over "VIP testing" allowing them to work following Sajid Javid's positive test.

You’ve posted one travel rule, for one country, which came into effect after you traveled, and applies to a country which, depending on your itinerary, you may not even have been classed as an “arrival” in, but anyway, I’m terribly sorry for not interrupting my weekend sooner. In fairness, me and everyone else who found your post funny didn’t realise we were talking to a modern day Magellan. Hopefully we can all recover. But thanks for the tag!

So much for opening up the economy. That’s potentially a quarter of the U.K. workforce off.
