20 years, 241,000 deaths and £20.3 billion pounds later and Afghanistan is back where it was. What a fucking waste.5 points

If the rumours are true the shooter was a QAnon, Trump-supporting, right wing conspiraloon then expect the terrorist angle to be completely underplayed in favour of the mental illness argument.3 points

These quotes and that Willock one about wanting him on loan then going above and beyond to sign him are further examples of why this rancid cunt can fuck off. Do we actually have a 25 man squad, or is he including 4 goalkeepers and a few youth players that probably aren’t good enough in that number? I don’t want to hear any excuses about lack of quality, thin squad, or anything of that nature from Bruce or his wine and chicken fucking defender Edwards.3 points

Trying to stay on top of delta until the vaccinations are at a high enough level to prevent most hospitalisations and deaths. Biggest problem being that there are supply issues in particular for the favoured pfizer vaccine. The AZ has been the subject of plenty of negative media reports around the potential for serious blood clots and now with the virus back and spreading in certain areas there has been mixed messages from the goverment regarding eligibility for AZ - initially it was recommended for those over 40 only, then revised to over 60, then back to over 50 and now to over 60 as well as anyone 16-60 "where the benefits outweigh the risks, including in outbreak settings". Given that AZ can be produced in Australia it's much more readily available. Vaccination numbers are finally progressing at a reasonable pace with more pfizer around the corner and moderna now also approved and on the way. In the meantime Sydney has had cases continually grow for a couple of months now, now getting around 250 cases a day which has seen this delta outbreak bring the highest numbers of the whole pandemic for Sydney/NSW. The testing numbers are at record highs too, which is good. Other states and cities have been faster to implement snap lockdowns in the face of delta cases which for the most part is allowing them to stay on top of the case numbers through contact tracing and isolation of close contacts. But with the transmissibilty of delta the next case is seemingly always just around the corner so the focus has definitely shifted to vaccinations being the only way to ensure a future without lockdowns. That city you reference is Canberra which is wedged inside regional NSW, but not too far from Sydney where cases are spreading. Canberra had not had a single case of community transmission in over 100 days, and with this case being delta they're rightfully concerned and acting in proportion to the risk. Thankfully most of the elderly population has been vaccinated so the deaths with this wave have been much lower than the first. In total the entire country has had around 950 deaths attributed to covid, around 50 of those during this current outbreak. Getting to 80%+ vaccinations is only going to be possible by November, so it's going to be a long hard lockdown slog where it has not been nipped in the bud. Currently that's only Sydney but the second biggest city Melbourne has been in and out of lockdown and has been recording 20+ cases a day for a few days now. They've been most affected in the past so have been very quick to implement lockdowns with delta but even then it is proving to be a struggle.3 points

Bruce has confirmed we only wanted Willock on loan until Arsenal said no. What is the end game with our club? We literally plan 1 season at a time. "How can we not get relegated this season by spending as little as possible"2 points

Or do some volunteering. Plenty of organisations would love someone with the time and willingness to try out new things that you seem to have. (EDIT: I couldn't find a way to make that not sound snarky, but for once it's not )2 points

That's what they're attempting to do now, but the damage that has been done with the previous mixed messages has really impacted on the general public's confidence in AZ. Once it's gone it's hard to get back especially when pfizer is around and championed as the superior option. They have been opening up more and more vaccination sites and offering walk up vaccination locations targeted at specific vocations which is helping. It's getting through the willing vaccine participants, or those who need to do it in order to resume work, the bigger problem will be once we start getting to the vaccine hesitant and those who outright refuse and/or on the lunatic fringe that don't believe in COVID. They're shortening the second dose to around 6 weeks for AZ. Personally I've had a booking in for pfizer from the start of June and the first dose is not until early September. I was not able to book AZ at the time as it was only allowed for those 60+. In fact I only just scraped in by a few months for being eligible for any vaccine at all at the time. I could have sought out an AZ vaccine earlier but I haven't for a couple of reasons - firstly I'm able to work fully from home so I'm very rarely in the community (maybe once a week for half an hour for grocery shopping), secondly when I floated the idea my other half shut it down. Agree wholly that it will be very difficult to contain, that's the reality we're living currently in Sydney exacerbated by the hesitancy of the NSW government to move quickly with a lockdown. As a result we're now seven weeks into lockdown with no end in sight. Not fun when you have two young kids doing remote learning.2 points

The course of the Wall through what’s now the city centre is still not 100% known. I remember watching a dig on Clavering Place behind the Turnbull Building, and they were fizzing at the slit because they found two stone coffins, and, equally important to them, a section of road and civilian building, which indicated the wall ran north of the site. edit; They dug up a bit of the actual wall just outside the entrance of the Mining Institute recently.1 point

Have you tried Free Jumping, Bunter? It’s like Base Jumping but without the expensive training and equipment- Malham Cove is a popular beginners spot, as is the Tyne Bridge. It also tends to be a short-lived hobby so it’ll suit you down to the ground, literally.1 point
