You’ve been unlucky, I was there yesterday for my booster and flu jag, and although busy, I only waited 10 mins. Anyway, works Xmas night out now cancelled. All very depressing. How they can ask us to adhere to advice when that scumbag PM and his cronies don’t, is beyond preposterous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that’s how it has to be then so be it. Just get the GPs and practice nurses administering them like they do with other vaccinations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me see that's averaging 50k a day or in other words about 10k a day LESS than today. The way that's worded it's made to sound that we are going to get all these new Omicron infections ON TOP of the already 50k a day plus primary Delta infections when the reality is Omicron will REPLACE Delta. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elixir Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 2 hours ago, ICTChris said: As I think I’ve said before I try not to share too much stuff on Twitter that seems crazy to me as it’s just an empty dunk but the following two tweets jumped out at me a bit. That’s nuanced for a Covid tweet but even if you don’t want to go out I don’t think it’s difficult to understand why people want to go out - everything has been open (ish) for a long time now. My work cancelled the official party but then a few people went to the pub after work anyway - everyone 2 or 3 times vaccinated, probably more than half have had Covid as well, all in an office together during the day. Risk assessing that, is it particularly surprising people wanted to socialise a bit? I also saw this one a variation of the “scumbags spreading covid” meme, with a bit of disgust at general people. China or North Korea would be perfect for these oddballs. I genuinely have no idea why they aren't booking up immediately. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We haven't even begin to start talking about how to pay for any of this and the restrictions and gargantuan spending on covid aren't over yet. 1 minute ago, Elixir said: We might not be wheeling carts of coins to the shops for milk and bread, but have you seen what's happening with inflation? Yes, it's a concern (although it's objectively not hyperinflation) but Reuters had a breakdown of what was driving UK inflation. Big increases in energy prices (obviously) and the second hand car market is going wild (because of supply issues that were discussed in the summer of 2020). It's not exactly controversial to say that it's supply side driven rather than the result of government spending. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not exactly controversial to say that it's supply side driven rather than the result of government spending.It's being driven by shortages caused by the double whammy of Brexit and increasing demand around the world from countries coming out of lockdowns.You could possibly add in a third factor - the blockage of the Suez Canal which restricted supplies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

effeffsee_the2nd Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 I was on the fence about getting a booster before today but it’s made up my mind that I won’t be bothering I took my two doses even tho there’s f**k all wrong with me and I was unlikely to get seriously ill but I’m not going back 3 4 and 5 times just to end up in lockdown anyway And f**k whatever shite they come with next. Obviously I can’t go to a pub or whatever if it’s shut but I won’t be adhering to any of their bullshit household mixing or tavel bansThey can f**k right off 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
