Slow news day? The real deal? End of the world? 
 

They’re saying it probably came from an animal, has Somebody been shagging monkeys again? 

*sick 

 

proven correct I think? Or is furlough for people who are sick?

 

which is bull shit. Our grade 6 and below at work get stat sick pay if off with covid yet folk were on furlough at full pay not even 80%. Something wrong there.

This Sunday we got told to work from home. What a very odd year.

In good news though my Mrs is on flex furlough from May and back to full time in September. 

Such good news, might actually ride this out without going bankrupt.

Fascinating......

Today’s number highlights

1.5m tests done yesterday 

2nd doses up nicely

Everything else on the same downward trajectories 

Cases up slightly, which is to be expected given the amount of tests, but the positivity rate works out as 0.43%

Cheers was trying to explain to my missus why an increase in positive tests does not the number of infected people has increased but it has been 12 months of lockdown and she does NOT FUCKING LISTEN. 

Just starting to feel normal again after being lay down all afternoon , hopefully that’s the end of it.

That’s the one. 😂

The school testing is presumably pushing up numbers.

I’ve a meeting next Thursday morning and will be having a lateral flow test before going in. The company all get tested Monday and Thursday and external visitors are allowed in on those days after having a negative test. Not a problem for me. Test and sit in car til the result is in

It is worth pointing out that over 5000 people a day are still testing positive.

Thats low, right, but it’s still there, waiting for us to just start mixing again.

I still think it would be absolutely amazing if - ‘huge if - we could get that number to 1000 or 500 maybe  then treat every case like they did those Brazil variants 

Spend that £37 billion on “man markers”. Every case gets a person assigned to make sure they isolate properly.

Then it’s gone. Incoming at ports can be man-marked the same way.

Justify the spend and shut cunts like me up.

It would be easier to put testing centres in hotels. Any positives straight to a room. Negatives to the bar.
