According to the media it will beCome the 19th it will be carnage.......
Maybe the police are still checking the post codes and phone numbers, or maybe Buck Palace won't let them in to interview Her Majesty.............................................................From the beginning some idiot folk have been taking the p*ss by signing into pubs with made - up names...
My neighbour who works in Spoons told me of a sorry bint that signs in everyday as ' The Queen'..with different phone numbers and postcodes..they reported her to the Police 3 months back...f√ck all done about it.
Only a core element of the population is hell bent on eradicating this Pandemic!
Got informed last night that year 10 at Poole Grammar school are having to self isolate for 10 days because of a confirmed Covid case in the year bubble.
My son is not happy, can't leave the house until a week Monday and all next weeks lessons will be on zoom and moodle.
What joy for a 14 year old who enjoys being outside.
I remember reading about this a few days ago and thinking - Wow, that would have been fantastic in my school days, a "legitimate" way to scyve off school. Would we have done it - hell YES !!!!!!!!!!!!!I cant believe this is widespread:

All viruses mutate over time.
Nervtag, sage would know this and be looking to minimise the impact of the variant.
Plus add in those that have had COVID and now have some immunity (particularly in the young population) and herd immunity is getting very close.We must be getting near the point where aiming for herd immunity is the goal.
All vulnarable people and every one over 40 (that wants it) is now vaccinated so the evidence is certainly going that way.
If not, we could be opening up then locking down again forever. I don't see how the inevitable mass unemployment is going to help anyone long term.
Always amazed at how close the two graphs are, just a couple of weeks off.
Covid: Doctors want to keep some measures after 19 July https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-57703959
Probably best to refer to published information to be properly educated on the subject...So you’re saying when this erupted in Wuhan 19 months ago, the government should have known exactly how its transmissible, the symptoms, the severity, the effect on different ethnic backgrounds, the effect on different ages, the difference it has on weight, existing conditions etc and the fact that the hundreds of not thousands of different variants that’ll stem from the original virus will all have different aspects to those listed above.
Plan all you want but unless you have a crystal ball you can’t do everything.
You are genuinely either really poorly educated or just trying to wind everyone.

I think its good you bring this perspective for those who have no skin in the game.I think it’s quite clear that the govt now adopted a live with covid strategy.
There are plenty of unknowns with long covid, new variants etc. But they are all unknowns and what ifs and we can’t carry on fearing what’s lurking in the shadows like independent sage would like. They may well prove to be right. But at what other costs?
The problem with the strategy is once again children and schools have been forgotten.
