We're all fine man, no symptoms but it's fucking rife in the kids school so testing fairly regularly. Just a massive ballache, the other lateral flows were all negative but I'm not holding out much hope for a false positive, the lad attends the autism provision at the school and 3/4 of his class haven't been there this last week. 

 

 

Better hope it’s not omnicron or you’re all isolating for ten days whether you’re positive or not.

And hopefully you’re all safe too obviously.

So long as everyone stays safe and healthy, 10 days isolation for us all would suit me fine tbh. I'm mostly just fucked off that my other half spaffed £80 on tickets for us to see the Darkness tommorow and my last-ditch get out clause is now pending PCR results.

I’d be pissed off if my lass bought Darkness tickets too, mind.

Buying them at £40 a ticket in the midst of a pandemic is what gets me man. Wouldn't mind seeing them but it's not gonna fucking sell out.

I mean, what's the point? We all know Omicron is seeded everywhere and will be dominant by Xmas. So presumably this will be the new rule with 100,000 positive  cases a day? I doubt it, the country will collapse.

Doubt we'll hit those numbers. The gameplan is clearly banking on the majority having mild or no symptoms and taking that to mean it's over and they don't need to get tested.

So what they’re saying is go the pub, go to restaurants and the work Christmas do (if it hasn’t been cancelled), but don’t go to work. Sounds alright

Sounds like a week in the life of Gloomy tbf.

Yeah but if 1 person in a family does get symptoms and tests positive, or if your lateral flow is positive and you test positive on PCR, that means you all have to isolate under current rules. That isn't sustainable is it.

But yeah, there isn't the testing capacity for hundreds of thousands of positives a day. Most centres here blew away with Arwen anyway!

I imagine you've been walking around the house in shades, a beer can hard hat, with a sprig of mistletoe attached to your belt buckle, ever since this press conference finished

Mail My Meds at the Balliol Business Park are doing walk-ins for boosters for over 40s, and there's hardly anyone there. 

So if your appointment isnt for a bit, just go there. They'll check the 3 month thing like, so don't go if you don't qualify on that front, but otherwise get walking in. 

[Renton 21450]

3 months now since my booster. Will they do me a booster booster?

This is phase 17 of the herd immunity strategy.

You can walk in at the place I went today assuming it's 3 months since your last one. Get yourself protected for Santa coming.

Omicron is a fucking limp dick, lads. 

 

[PaddockLad 17165]

Thats why last nights statement was a parcel of  dead cat nonsense vomit..."work from home but by all means go to the office party".... 

[Gemmill 44561]

Aye. Well it didn't take me long to extract myself from the Christmas do. Email sent this morning... "in light of recent developments...". 

Absolutely tremendous.

makes you wonder why people are still losing their minds over it. 

[Gemmill 44561]

Well, speaking personally, it was entirely performative. 

[Dr Gloom 21868]
