Yaaas Broncos!
Excellent use of a T2 quote.
Vaccinate like crazy and hope spring arriving makes a difference? What does full lock-down look like? Are there further restrictions that will help?Fecking thing is a nightmare. Full lockdown here for three weeks now and the initial decline is flattening out with a caseload that is still way too high. Where do we go from here?!
A virologist on the radio yesterday said "it's likely that 30% or more have been exposed to the virus".Is there an estimate for how many people in the UK have had Covid? Not the official case number as mass testing started half way through.
My neighbour is very poorly today. Phoned to check at lunchtime and she’d gone to bed with flu like symptoms.Just got back from taking the old lady next door for her vaccine. What an emotional experience.
We went to the Derby Velodrome and there were hundreds of elderly people, some, like my neighbour were in wheelchairs, some with frames, and others just standing and queueing patiently.
The army of volunteers, helpers and NHS workers were so brilliant and i found the whole massive operation so humbling that I was feeling genuinely emotional. It was the most people I’ve been around for nearly a year and I couldn’t help but feel that all of their lives were facing similar challenges as the lady next door.
Whatever shambles our government has been and however many idiots there are out there, I couldn’t help but marvel at the size of this operation and feel like I was amongst the good people, the patient and the helpful. Really got to me and a lady pushing another wheelchair next to me was trying to talk to me and could see my lip wobbling.
It all restored my faith a little.
The same one who you took to get the Vaccine?My neighbour is very poorly today. Phoned to check at lunchtime and she’d gone to bed with flu like symptoms.
That's so typically English you have to laugh.The new requirements for a negative Covid test before entering the UK are all well and good, but the authorities only accept results written in English, French or Spanish, and they won't accept an original-language result together with a translation.
So ... how do we get a test in Italy? Medical people write test results in the language of the country where the test has been done! Of course, the complicated Italian word "negativo" is obviously too difficult to understand ...
Yep. She was told last night she may feel unwell ... well she does. Feel very sorry for her today.The same one who you took to get the Vaccine?

why not anyone attending a party of any size with people that don’t live there??Priti Patel giving Press Conference
Says from next week, anyone attending a house party - fifteen people or more, they will be hit with an £800 fine
Fifteen people?! That gives out such a mixed message.Priti Patel giving Press Conference

Sorry for being unsympathetic but I would support going a lot further and insist on 14 days quarantine except for certain exemptions as per the Australian system. Posters on this board seem to want it both ways. Hammer officials for not being tough enough in respect of border controls then hammer them again for being too authoritarian.The new requirements for a negative Covid test before entering the UK are all well and good, but the authorities only accept results written in English, French or Spanish, and they won't accept an original-language result together with a translation.

You pushed her to it. Literally. Fred west in nice guy next door clothing. I’m onto youYep. She was told last night she may feel unwell ... well she does. Feel very sorry for her today.
Brilliant, that means you can still have a big group of mates over to your house as long as you don’t go over 15Priti Patel giving Press Conference

Yeah, rather passive aggressive.Fifteen people?! That gives out such a mixed message.

To be fair, in most countries the options are the national language(s) or English. Apart from Switzerland, I doubt there are many countries where you can turn up with a certificate in Italian.That's so typically English you have to laugh.
What a bizarre country we are.
Can only imagine they have picked a size that couldn't possibly be one family.Fifteen people?! That gives out such a mixed message.

453,000,000 / 500 = 906,000 positive tests a week?
Getting a positive mate to stick one of the at home tests up their nose for you sounds like an earner.Some people with certain habits might try snd get COVID just to get £500
I was going to say the exact same thing, to some that is a risk worth taking for £500, but if it massively increases the people willing to get a test, then I guess it's worth the risk of the minority seeing it as an opportunity for a bit of free money.Some people with certain habits might try snd get COVID just to get £500
Perfect, I'll keep my illegal house parties to fourteen.Priti Patel giving Press Conference

I’ve been banging back vitamin D and bought a Pulse Oximeter in February - it’s amazing how behind the NHS are on this!https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-55733527
Home pulse oximeters now being recommended by an NHS study - only 9 months behind this thread
The medical community in the UK (and mostly GPs) have been badly exposed for their work shyness and lack of any process. Some of my Porsche driving GP footy friends were turning away their long covid suffering patients as hypochondriacs. This was in August. Not one of them could care less about any inclination to put some hours studying or recording what their patients were telling them and reporting back up to the GMC. Not one.I’ve been banging back vitamin D and bought a Pulse Oximeter in February - it’s amazing how behind the NHS are on this!
The addition of loss of smell and taste symptoms as core covid symptoms was done in large part as a result of GP's listening to patients way before NHS recognised them as reasons for getting tested - https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2020/03/29/gps-acknowledging-taste-smell-loss-symptom-coronavirus/The medical community in the UK (and mostly GPs) have been badly exposed for their work shyness and lack of any process.

Like I said, there was no process and still isn't. And even if there was their jobsworthness shone through like a beacon.
That's not my personal experience at all. I got a temperature back in May and what is now know as covid toes and no other symptoms. I had one night where breathing was difficult, but not too bad. I had no other symptoms and although I didn't know it was covid at the time I knew it could be so self isolated and it was over pretty quickly.The medical community in the UK (and mostly GPs) have been badly exposed for their work shyness and lack of any process.

A good while yet. Seems a few in Sage are asking for hospitality not to open until May at earliest. Think the compromise will be early April.Northern Ireland lockdown also extended to the 5th March
I just want a proper night out sometime.... soon
