Yep. I’m also on the verge of losing it with someone. I think we may have a few parents briefing their kids better before our zoom calls next Monday. What did everyone do yesterday...? “We went to see our friends in London” 🤫 I live in Hertfordshire. Also found out that someone who lives in our town took their son to Brighton beach over the weekend because they wanted a change of scenery. It’s lucky they told my wife and not me.

See I've been having a think about this since this whole what is local debate came about.

So, there are 5 boroughs in South East London, a total.of 1.6 million people, just under half of the total pop in gtr Manchester. 

Would it be better in built up areas to get people out rather than the parks? Probably not but round here its really hard to social distance in the green spaces unless you drive further into the countryside. 

I think probably best to stay home at the moment rather than try and swing the guidance. 

Some more bad news, our foodbank has shut due to an covid outbreak with the staff, we've been asked to donate money instead.

I walked past an archeological survey business on Sunday (fuck knows what they do but anyway). Offices open. Two people in sat at their desks. No masks on. 
 

how is that an essential business that needs to stay open and these two plebs can’t work from Home?? Absolutely keep working but surely they can do it without opening an office and having these two sat in there?

Not even a mummy mask in sight

Usually where a development has planning permission in an archaeological sensitive area, and a condition of that permission is to do a dig. 

These people will go along, dig a few trenches and record what they find

No need for an office to be open though

Though given the people who usually do that sort of thing, letting them meet in the office is probably the only company they get

There are cases of both: I would guess its to do with whick vaccine you had first up.

If you've had the Pfizer one, then because of storage issues and numbers/splitting, some will come back for the second in 21 days to ensure no wastage.

Flexibility is important.

Do you know if 6 doses are routinely being given from each vial?

i ask the nurse who did my mum 

no they use 5 of them

Its the Pfizer one that's supposed to have enough for 6, not sure about the AZ one.

Cheers. Needs the mhra to look at this urgently to see if they should be using 6 routinely.

So long as any given vial does have enough for 6 then makes sense to use it.

Perhaps some are a little less willing if there isn't official authorisation, or if they're not aware of it. 

Main thing is to be safe though- kent will know for sure what the guidance is.

Who mentioned Lidl on Derby Street t'other day? Should've heeded your warning.

Went to GP for bloods this morning, thought I'd nip in...

Hour and a half later, and probably re-infected.

Loads of maskless cunts, loads of chads with their nose poking over the top - wtf are they thinking? Half the staff were wearing their masks in this utterly pointless way.

Some bloke (customer) stood at the loose nut section, scoop of produce in hand, no mask - picking out nuts that didn't measure up to standard and chucking them back in the hopper...

Everyone not spacing.

Folk queuing up with one or two items.

Security guard, she was another Chad with an attitude problem - decided to have a roll-up break right by the exit.

So stressed by the experience I added a single McEwans Champion Ale to the trolley for decompression purposes at home...

Taking the trolley back and one of the bags fell off.

The ale and jars of passata and 'lazy' chilli all tished, beer, glass and tomato/chilli all over - enraged and impatient I started fishing out the unscathed stuff and sliced my finger and thumb open.

A great morning.

It's Morrison's (now open 'til Midnight apparently) in town and after 8pm from now on before I murder someone.

Dunno why but Chads get on my tits even more than those totally without masks.

I'm not having it people are that fucking ignorant to the anatomy of the respiratory system.

Get a visor or don't fucking bother.

Rant over. 😡

I'm an amateur archaeologist and thought your last sentence was a cheap dig 😉

That's a blast from the past,  not heard mention of a chad for ages. When I was little, I used to love drawing them (fuck knows why)

First thing I learned to draw was a dog 😀.

and one down from that - "chin diapers"

 

I'm guilty of having a chin nappy - but only when I'm outside and there's no-one near me...

So my dad's come back at positive. Think my mum will kill him before covid does to be honest.

I go in the nearest supermarket between where I've been (in this case my GP's surgery) and where I'm going (more often than not, home).

If they sell what I want I couldn't care less if it was Booths or B&M Bargains.

You stick to paying tithe to M&S if it floats your boat.

I spread around my spending.

He will be reet. Paracetemol and fluids I've told him. Gonna lend him my pulseoximeter to check his spo2. He thinks I kill off my patients like the angel of death though so won't listen to anything I say. Daft sod.
