Are you ill with it, CT? Does your head hurt all the way to the apex? 

So far it is just like a bad cold and all that comes with that. (Touching wood as I type)  

[Gemmill 42960]

Nice one, hope it stays that way.

Excellent

 

Funnily enough, I found myself checking in the bathroom mirror the other day for a pointy head in preparation for when the remaining few follicles die off.

Fair hair. Always looks worse.

Be a good time to get plugs. Claim that Covid affects different people in different ways and it gave you back the gift of hair.

"Fair". Like pig fluff.

@Rentonwhat is the time the booster takes to work? Is a week enough for me to get the mistletoe hat out this weekend?

It's not a binary cut off, you'll get some additional protection by 1 week and full protection after 2 to 3 weeks. But you've also had 2 prior jabs so you'll be fine.

It's more than 3 months since my booster now so my protection may be on the wane although nobody really knows at this point (also remember its T cell memory as well as antibodies). I'm not concerned for myself, just the hassle being positive would be.

Jeremy Vine on the radio here talking to a scientist about whether Omicron is milder, saying

JV: "well it would be great if the death rate from Omicron was 0.5% because then we could just go on with our lives right?" 

Scientist: "well if the death rate is 0.5% we would be screwed because that's absolutely massive."

JV: "well that's the same as the flu isn't it?"

Scientist: "Err no it's not, no."

Is it any wonder people are fucking clueless about this stuff. 

 

So if 1,000,000 people catch Omicron which has a 0.5% death rate, which at current rate of growth would happen in less than 10 days….only 50,000 people would die. 
 

That’s a full SJP. No bother Jeremy mate.

He’s isolating. I’d be averaging 4-5 a day

Tonights Lesta v Spurs game  off due to Covid

[Christmas Tree 4483]

Just spent 30 minutes on the phone with test and trace. I’m his first taxi driver and I think I’ve ruined the rest of his day.  

 

Anyway, as I understood the rules, close contacts of mine don’t have to isolate but need to do a test every day to check. After the call he has sent a message to my wife saying she MUST isolate.

 

I would guess that means I have Omicron.

 

Edit: Just a generic text apparently in case your spouse is an anti vaxxer

No, she’s trebled up. (And as such, classed as exempt).  Just me misreading the finer print I think.

Christmas in France cancelled, with the new rules we would be isolating on xmas day and trying to arrange a test for release right around the time I'd be tucking into my fourth cognac.  What a pile of fucking merde man.

[NJS 4270]

Added fuck up of giving people a couple of days grace - my lass has been inundated with requests for pet paperwork from posh cunts fucking off there before the weekend.
