Whilst the cases are sky high, 1.6million tests taken. Thats kinda impressive I guess
Shhiiiiitttttt
Sturgeon was right. This is turning into a tsunami of infections…
Seems crazy to me that there will be football games played in full stadiums tonight, and presumably this weekend.
I’m meant to be doing a pub crawl with friends on Saturday and I’m getting really uneasy about it. Not getting my booster until December 22nd.
I’ve been pretty careful for the last 2 years and this will probably be the riskiest thing I’ve done, but some of these people I haven’t seen since pre-COVID. Hmmmm.
Maybe we should just sack some of the pubs off and go to somebody’s flat instead to have a few beers. Sucks as we’ve been planning it for months, really not sure what to do.
This is mainly because of the shortage of test kits earlier this week. It is artificially inflated.
My biggest fear is we’re in a boy-who-cried-wolf scenario and we’re all going to royally screwed in a few weeks. The first few waves of this in 2020 were scary and the government burned through that good will. Now, when it might actually count because of an incredibly infectious strain, there’s no way to get the public to do the sensible thing… maybe last year was the tremor and this is the start of the true earthquake.
yawn, who cares anymore covid is just another disease if you have your vaccines like 95% of adults.
Pregnant women have not been doing so well with the first two jabs
I was considering going to the Xmas Market in Birmingham this weekend. I guess this is a pretty bad idea.
Theres very little info on how a pregnant person can get a booster faster.
Im wife is 24 weeks and her booster is for the 30th yet i know other people who have managed to get there’s earlier (mine was donkeys ago as im NHS)
This is obviously bad, however it is probably actually less bad news than yesterday’s 78k. There was a huge jump in testing today and the test positivity is actually lower than yesterday, and not that different from 3-4 days ago. So probably a large part of this is people taking LFTs before going out, or who thought they had a cold, and have been encouraged to test by recent messaging. Those cases wouldn’t have been found without the extra testing.
Is it only me that is completely passed caring? I’m not remotely worried about catching any form of coronavirus.
I just got back from Canada, cancelled plans to see various friends. Not worth risking my grandparents’ health, and my return flight.

This is from today’s Times:
>Times: [Third of people in London have not had any jabs](https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/21ae5800-5d1e-11ec-9cd9-b6f698a4b9a5?shareToken=c14ff69a6bdf6a17f9d6bf30633f2052)
>
>The proportion of the population without a single jab is three times as high in London as in the country as a whole, and the 14 areas with the country’s lowest vaccination rates are all London boroughs. In Westminster four in ten people have not had a single jab
