Testing healthy people makes no sense - oh and do not blame the plebs!

Interestingly I had a very pleasant text from my GP surgery overnight advising me they were going to invite me to attend for vaccination in the next few months. There was an addendum that I shouldn't call to ask questions. Bless them!    I must get my arm ready!!

I wouldn't bet on it, the Bolshevik bankers are already planning the next crisis, the greater good is the whole planet next.

Thank God for that. I don't think Pappy can handle overmuch happiness.

Borchester we have lunged from crisis to crisis for over 4 years. We have been hyper for so long we have forgotten what normal life is. Surely we are all crisised out? I would be grateful for a bit of humdrum successful living for a while. Not that I think it will be soon. Goodness we have the drama of deal or no deal coming to fruition that should be enough to keep some awake with faux anger for a time.

Oh no, grumpy old uncle smurfy isn't in the Christmas mood, don't you worry kids Santa will do his best. Wipe away the tears.

I am never in the Christmas mood due to far too many relatives dying over the Christmas period.

There are already 20 mile tailbacks of trucks from Dover Docks, and Felixstowe container port is so rammed full, British children will be not be getting this years Christmas presents until Christmas 2021.

I try not to attack the government or those worried about this bug Toots, but God in heaven it is boring. Surely there must be a more interesting crisis on the horizon?

yeah, we know, we are all doomed and that is that.

As far as covic is concerned I don't think we are in much of a position to throw stones at those on the sharp end of having to learn how to deal with it, and that includes the Government.

I would find it nigh on impossible to run but the sight of DD or anyone else hove-ing into view with any intention of approaching my chest or any other part of me might see me achieve Olympic sprint records. 

As to your ps - congratulations on keeping a sense of proportion and humour and an allotment.

In all honesty toots I reckon you are safe, I somehow doubt the Dawg will be rushing round to rub your chest with vick, or anyone else for that matter. The dark side of the internet on the whole is much more geared to taking what you might have left in some bank account or another all under the guise of it is for the greater good.

Well Toots, if Sky News is broadcasting guesstimates and doctors have little idea how to treat this bug I reckon that we can safely say that there is no change there. So look after yourself and if you can't find a younger and fitter man, we will see if we can send Deppity to rub your chest.

PS. Thirty years ago I came down with something called transverse myelitis, which is Latin for a bad back. I was given a one chance in three of surviving. I did survive but tend to spend much of my time falling arse over tea kettle and plan journeys with respect to the availability of toilets. It is only in the movies that folk make a complete recovery. When I wake up alive I  reckon that is a pretty good start to the day. Anyone who expects more is a snivelling git.

The PCR test should only be used with people who have symptoms,

Or if you are crossing an international boundary from a high concentration.

i have this theory, it isn't a woke theory, but all those who spend every day in fear of dying had forgotten how to live anyway or just never learned, it has come to the stage of cancel culture, where if you shake hands you die, if you hug someone you die, if you have Christmas you die, don't get a jab you die, see your family you die, what the feck point is there in living then! Which brings me to my theory cancel culture is all about cancelling living.

On Sky news this morning it was reported that 40 long covid clinics have been opened. The guesstimate is half a million people so far affected with varying duration of symptoms.

Patients thus far have been fobbed off since doctors had little idea how to treat them but the new clinics will specialise in these cases. This links back to my post yesterday where I pointed out that long covid could be with many for some time. I think we must recognise that it isn't just a case of death or complete cure, and it hits fit healthy youngsters too.
