Older corts still in gentle decline. Also of those in hospital with Covid, 52% are in for non Covid related disorders. T'was ever thus........😀 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's Character Forming 1,160 Posted January 27, 2022 The decrease seems to have levelled off at the moment, I'm guessing that's mainly down to the return to school. But as long as hospital numbers stay where they are (particularly given the point mentioned that half of those Covid numbers are actually in hospital for another reason) then things are ok. Speaking personally, I currently know more people with Covid (or who've had it since Christmas) than at any other time in the pandemic, and some of them have felt pretty poorly even when it's the 2nd time they've had it, but (so far - fingers crossed) none of them have been bad in the sense of having to go to hospital. So I'd say it's definitely time to get on with life, being sensible but not worrying about it. I'm planning to go to the Wolves game which is my 2nd game of the season 🙂 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I get the same impression now. Why people can't decide for themselves is beyond me. Seems a weird assumption to make, clearly everybody does have to make their own decision whether or not to wear a mask but I don't find it at all surprising in the current situation that they are also taking note of what others are doing - doesn't mean they can't make their own decision. Nor is it remotely surprising that just because our idiot PM tells people that they don't have to do something that it automatically makes it a bad idea to do it (quite the reverse in many cases) so I think what we are seeing now, and TBH for a long while now, is that people are making up their own minds about what they think is sensible to do or avoid, and that has worked in both directions as far as following, or not following, government rules/advice. When the government themselves, from very early on (Barnard Castle), have been flagrantly breaking the rules they set then it is not surprising that the public start making up their own minds about how to behave so I think you are on completely the wrong track there.

The Real Buh 3,432 Posted January 28, 2022 The party-gate/lame duck government/Tory rebellion may be one of the better things that comes off the back of this virus. As the virus recedes some governments and authorities cling to the power they’ve brought on their citizens ours is at least terrified of rebellion from within its own party: Hopefully we’ll avoid vaccine passports and all manner of unnecessary control that some governments around the world are seeking. It’s amoral and transparently Orwellian. If you support it then we’ll done, you are one of the background characters screaming into the void in the two minutes of hate. A literal husk-person. “having to show your papers to enter a coffee shop or a sports stadium is not how a functional society should work” if you disagree read that again and give your head a wobble. This is basic stuff you were taught in first school history. Authoritarianism and totalitarianism = bad. It’s not hard. Countries where this is brought in are crap countries and should be lauded as such. live your life, pursue your interests, let children start to live in a world not ravaged by this disease. It’s torn their lives to pieces, the endless demand for some to feel safe cannot be allowed to continue unencumbered. We are already headed for a future of technological terrors and the right to privacy torn from us. Can we not enjoy one last snooze button press of relativistic freedom before it’s take from us entirely? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Barbe bleu 818 Posted January 28, 2022 Blimey, I only came on these pages for Ricardo's 4pm update. Turns out that the update today is that bill came on here in a very different way, bless him. Still it's character forming stuff and no doubt is inspiring his next creation. More seriously I guess that the fact that things like this are being discussed is proof that we are now in the 'new normal' and we are putting 20/21 behind us (and obviously that the new normal is filled with *****) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
