Slow news day, or end of the world?

”Aggressive” new variant has landed in Moscow. Makes people, even those that have been vaccinated, more poorly than previous types.

Time for Uncle Joe to push the button? Short term pain.

Plandemic. 

Just a cold mate. 

Don't know anything about the Rusky version of covid, but my brother in law has been in Warrington hospital for nearly a week now with, I presume the Indian varient, he's had both of his jabs too.

As they renamed what was known as the Indian variant to the Delta variant, will the Moscow variant be called the Echo variant?

Think the Nepal variant (BULLSHIT) is the echo variant. 

So a Moscow variant will be a foxtrot...

What variant of a cold and the phonetic alphabet do I need to start getting worried about now. 

 

Now the "symptoms" are hay-fever. Next up is left-handerism 🤣

For the record, Boris and his team of furrow-browed doom mongers no longer have my weary attention.

Business as usual now unless something comes along that’s genuinely a threat again.

Whoosh indeed. So glad it wasn’t wasted.

Under normal circumstances I’d award you a +1popularity prize. 🤣

Same here, it's just noise now.

To be honest, apart from going away on holiday, which I'm not that arsed about this year, my life isn't overly affected as things currently stand, so things can stay as they are now for as long as they want for me.

For the record, I also think there is no way we fully "unlock" on 19th July either, they'll be dragging it out beyond then for sure

I don’t disagree, it’s really time this shower of a government was taken to task by the back benches of the Tory party, the opposition really are useless.

That's the key point Mounts, many were pleased when Labour were absolutely annihilated at the last GE, sadly it's now meant that the Conservative party can do what ever they want with no comeback, as there is simply no opposition at all, it seems even those left in the Labour ranks are pretty useless. 

It needs the 1922 Committee to try and do something, otherwise it feels like we'll be in the current situation forever more. Boris can do and say what he wants, he's untouchable.

This should read government. 

It's not the party as a whole, or their would be no back bench mps voting against.

On this particular issue, there is very little chance of a vote not being passed as much of the opposition agrees with it.

Whether folk like it or not, the numbers are still rising with some restrictions still in force, so they will need to come down big style within the next 4 weeks.

There’s loads on furlough that do.

I agree with Andrea Leadsom in that there will be people who have had a very easy, relaxed year or so.

the hospitalisations are what this is all about. We are biological beings and will always be susceptible to viruses. It’s about controlling the danger and now we have the vaccine the danger of death is very low. Like flu.

We absolutely have to live with it and accept that a hundred or so people May die each week for a while longer yet. 
 

we accept it on the roads, because we know that by and large, most accidents are prevented by the safety measures in place.

Unlock in 2 weeks Boris, you big fat useless cunt.

This. I've had e-fucking-nough. I plan on going off the rails once the spawn of Satan is born and I don't want to be sat at a table with a frigging mask on!

Not happening.

Not a chance whilst numbers are going up that things will change.

You and plenty of others need to get over it, moaning won't change anything- cases will.

Do you know anyone that actually does?

I doubt it.

We're also a million miles more "free" than this time last year, so we're going in the right direction. 

Your travel abroad is going down the swanny too whilst cases rise, and that's down to other nations' view of our situation.

Happy we have more freedoms, but we need to return to full freedom, government should not have control of personal freedoms. Travel hasn’t gone down Swanny, just that you need to test which I oppose as it’s a money making racket, my flights are booked and I’ll be on that flight without a doubt.

Numbers of infections increasing but few deaths, icu empty, what are we waiting for?

Still, its a good cover for the effects of brexit
