Dalek, I feel there’s probably no stricter rules being introduced, because the oiks still don’t follow the current ones as a result of being too thick... Still so many around here wearing a mask incorrectly or not at all. Then there’s the whole matter of the 1m apart, which doesn't apply side-by-sid...

At any rate, the test results came back negative today, so I probably don't have covid. But now I have to figure out what else I may have that's made me lose my sense of taste. I had a flu shot back in November, so I doubt it's that. I just know that I miss Does the lower part of your ribcage feel ...

Problem we've got in this country is that trust in politicians is at an all-time low. That and our governments continued insistence of running everything centrally in London (and, for the last 30 years or more, placing more emphasis on the well being of everyone inside the M25), instead of allowing...

The basic reason we’re all going to the Pit on a handcart is individual human stupidity, egoism and lack of logical reasoning. The UK government is trying to herd cats every damn day and the cats, especially the fat ones, yowl in disagreement at any attempt to herd them, because no one herds cats, r...

My friends, think of Covid-19 another way: it’s an opportunity to remove the unproductive elderly and those of any age with chronic health issues. The employer with whom I spent the majority of my working life pretty much only wanted young, fit and full time staff, and used every means possible to w...

Then, the host mentioned covid, and I remembered that NZ has competent leadership and has been able to return mostly to normal.

NZ also has a sensible, intelligent and socially aware population.

I think I want to emigrate.

I hear you, Sades! Lots of lockdowns extended in England and the press is filled with selected moans and complaints from, almost exclusively, young people. One article I’ve just read has students being terribly upset because they cannot celebrate their 18th or 21st birthdays at the pub, the poor bug...

Yesterday, Leicester had more cases of C-19 in hospital than at the previous peak in April (264 vs 204) with 19 in intensive care. Story adds: at the end of September, they had just two recovered cases left and about to be discharged... NHS states that they are monitoring an ongoing rise in infectio...

The next England lockdown except schools/colleges/universities commences this Thursday and, today, the town was overflowing with people, a high percentage of whom were not wearing a face covering, maintaining 2m distance or bothering to stifle coughs and sneezes. ‘Cos, like, the rules don’t come in ...

Hello Clogs! How's things? I’m still here, which is A Good Thing, and the cough is just intermittent and annoying - I’ve been made to sit away from the other members of my team, though... Could get a chance at home working in ‘a bubble’ (makes me laugh every time), which would be nice as it a) save...

So 'Hello!', hope you're all doing alright

Hello, sweetie

Denyer, you might be right, there. I was, very seriously, today advised that I can spend time in lockdown pursuing hobbies such as knitting, doing housework, taking up new crafts or baking. The guy calling then asked me what I intended to do, so I told him: the Shadowlands pre-patch is out on World ...

Sweet Primus (with retro-rats) on a pogo stick... while I appreciate that NHS Track and Trace have a job to do, if I get one more call repeating the major indicators for C-19 and advising me to self-isolate, I’ll scream! Yeah, I know some people need constantly reminding and being checked on, but I’...

Darling, Denyer, I have to wait until I’m 75 for a free anti-pneumonia jab.

Only 15 years and three months to go yee-haw!

Were they really doling out antibiotics for what they reckoned was a virus? There's no educating some so-called professionals.

In case of secondary infection: possibly to stave of pneumonia?

Thanks, Denyer! Tell you what: way back in March, me, a few of my work colleagues and my bestie all went down with a temperature, cough and breathlesness and were pretty much done in for weeks. Our doctors told each of us it was a bad viral infection, and we got antibiotics and sick notes. Absence w...

Okayyyyy.... results time. According to the test, I don’t have Covid-19, but my youngest son, now 21, does. Cue all sorts of messages, telephone calls, questions about mental health in lockdown and advice about major symptoms. Called my doctor in case I have bronchitis, then. Nope, he told me I have...

How long will it be until you get the result?

Feel well.

Thanks, mate; I’m no worse today, but dizzy and my ribs are ouch. Results due Thursday afternoon or Friday morning...

Taken a test this afternoon... Aching, dry cough, breathless if not resting. Very tired. Started, I suppose, late Saturday, but hit me hard on Monday and I hung on, hoping it would be a short, sharp cold. We shall see... So many people now donning a mask to enter a bus, building or other public spac...

Ventilation's good but they still have a responsibility to heat to minimum temperatures so it's still an HSE matter if the environment's unsuitable. Yep, I’ve mentioned this... I’m H&S trained, but not one of the official reps where I now work nor am I in their union, so it’s going to be interestin...
