Thatcher killed off any power the unions had, paving the way for employers to do what the f**k they want. Leaving the EU leaves people in the UK with even less leverage.

Yeah we all celebrated when that old boot kicked the bucket.  But ‘Boris’, eh?

No doubt he thought you were a very excitable small child, hence the wave.

See, it made you happy too. 

If he thought I was a child tho.... A sweaty, bearded child shambolically trudging away from some unseen malice that left me on the brink of ejecting my scadded lungs all other the pavement, and didnt replace his cargo with my good self immediately, then I have to rescind my applause.

Lockdown beard is running at about 30mm I'd say.

Anyway, reading about vaccines on here and in the news....

Is it likely that should one become available in September, it will be mandatory to have it?

I mean, you like to think a vaccine kills this whole situation stone dead, but I would have reservations about having, and allowing my kids to have, a rushed vaccine.

Millions of people have already being doing it for 6-7 weeks. 

This is true.

I was more meaning those who are currently avoiding the big bad outside world changing their opinion on "ban everything until zero deaths" once they too are forced to work without any respite.

It's the easiest thing in the world to mock shit like this but it's an important human trait. Feeling connected to something bigger and more important, even in very small ways, is good for us.

Was the origins of the clapping thing from Italy? I hope it was started by ordinary people rather than an authority-led idea. But it doesn't matter, as people have taken it for themselves.

It should never be used to excuse or cover up the failings of preparation by those in charge. And it's perfectly reasonable, and I'd argue its actual normal, to both support the workers of the nhs and also be critical of mistakes made by the government.

In italy they clapped people walking past rather that what we are doing

Who knows. I would not be surprised if some countries make it mandatory for travel. At the same time I would think it would be more likely for vulnerable populations rather than your children (and you?). As likewise I would not be thrilled at having a new rushed vaccine, I am no way an anti-vaxxer but no way one can be tested properly by September this year or even September 2021 for that matter.

if it does become mandatory I would think it would be at least a few years from now.

I thought I was reading some spoof site there.  Covid-19 seems to meet every one of the bullets in the definition.

I guess it's down to that it isn't as lethal per infection as other contsgions and can be treated in less specialist medical facilities.

Classification as an HCID may have hindered treatment.

jagfox99 pointed this out 3 weeks ago and Panorama featured it last night.  I think this might be the smoking gun when there's an inquiry into HMG's handling of the pandemic.

I think they can test for safety fairly quickly, effectiveness takes longer, especially length of immunity and ability to transfer.

Yes, a new vaccine won't be without risks, it might give some people severe symptoms of the virus.

It's natural to be worried.

Disappointing lack of, "It was the heart".
You've changed. 
Evidently I dont need to explain it to you....

Anyway what you say isnt factually incorrect. It was the heart by way of the tit. However, it wasnt worry about skin, muscle or fat that caused my alarm and subsequent No Mas

Its brutal. I've got two psycho female neighbours.  One thinks she is a pagan witch and the other has six cats and believes the others ones shite...  the other day the witch one was lighting those hippy Joss sticks, putting them in a tattie in her garden and telling cat woman the the ones she was lighting gave her different powers.  I'm watching the news religiously... to see when this lockdown is lifted.   

Glad to hear that my ex girlfriends are doing great.

Thailand man 72, does it better.

Taxi driver with no customers, went to a courier firm who were taking on temps.  Thai PBS (a TV channel) were there and interviewed him.  He showed the camera his wallet with ฿200, that was it, nothing else in the world.  It went viral on social media when a "superstar" highlighted. Guy went his bank and  ฿8.3 million is in his bank account from donations.

I don't see Triple H giving this guy a custom made WWE Championship.

My faither is a card carrying communist. He is adamant that we should have a day every month where we should be encouraged to shoot lawyers for fun. He would very much agree with gd on the issue above.

This makes you the David Miliband/ Pete Buttigieg/ Hilary Benn in this scenario then, yeah?
