fordm -"..the US has seen an increase in case numbers but deaths significantly down".
Good to see them getting on top of their squirrel problem.

JBS - I wouldn't be so dismissive if I were you. you never know where they will strike next. Stay safe- no-one's safe 'till everyone's safe.

BB - yes ,we've covered some interesting subjects on here today. All good fun. Apart from the scurrilous lies about Santa, obvs.

Thank God I've had all 3 of my squirrel jabs.

People "scared to go out" because of a squirrel.
Any moment now I am going to wake up....

Now I really am going to drink myself to death. A man can only take so much.

Are you suggesting that the media, and politicians, may occasionally fabricate things, hide pertinent information from us, and even intentionally mislead us?
What next - no Santa??

Weren't we told about 2 weeks ago that cases were doubling every 2 or 3 days? Which means that (conservatively) we should have over 600,000 cases a day.

I see that France has just set a new 'European record' for Covid cases in one day. F*** me , it's a contest now! We'll have some of that - no way is Blighty coming second to the frogs and the jerries (sorry). Come on people - get spreading. Altogether now-
"One world cup and two world wars, do-da, do-da..."

Just watched a clip of wee jimmy Sturgeon on the telly (we now have colour TV in Wales!). Deranged.

Either way, death will be a welcome release. Now where the f*** did I put that vodka?

For the record - when I drink myself to death through sheer anger/frustration at the insanity I am witnessing, will my demise be counted as a Coronavirus death?

Let me make sure I have this right.
Huge numbers of people are testing positive for a virus that is of almost no real concern to a vast. VAST majority of people. It is only a concern to a tiny number of vulnerable people (who are vulnerable to a whole range of things) and to people who have chosen to not get vaccinated/boosted. Those people who have tested positive must then isolate for a period, as must certain people who merely come into contact with those who are positive (eg. unvaccinated).
Because so many people have tested positive, and are isolating, there are major problems in many areas due to a shortage of personnel. This is then seen as a Coronavirus issue, and is then used as a weapon to implement further restrictions/rules/lockdown measures. This then fuels even more paranoia and fear around Coronavirus - more people test themselves, and the whole cycle just accelerates downhill.
The phrase "self-inflicted wound" springs to mind. We are putting a shotgun in our own mouths.
We are now so far down the rabbit-hole that I cannot see a way back.

I expect the M4 out of Wales, and the main arterial routes out of Sturgeonland, to be pretty busy over the next few days.

That's a great picture though - I can't believe how busy it is! Air Traffic Control must be working their socks off.

Mongolia is a balmy minus 20 degrees just now, dropping to around minus 28 overnight.
Currently reassessing my cave policy.

BB - How the hell did you come up with that so quickly? Thanks for the link - it's becoming an increasingly attractive option.
Look out for me on Ben Fogle -"New Lives In The Wild".

Price trundling along roughly where it closed. I'm holding some, but looking to buy a few more - just a matter of when to pull the trigger.
If I base my decision on the news around Omicron over the last few days, then I'm going all in.
If I base it on the effectiveness and decision-making abilities of worldwide governments, then I'm selling everything and moving to a cave in Mongolia.
Tough call.

Just read my earlier post, and feel the need to apologise to all donkeys. I am genuinely sorry.

Record 130,000 cases. That's 130,000 people with quite a nasty cold. Sales of Kleenex must be through the roof. And not just because of excess masturbation.
PS -18 deaths. You could not make this S**t up.
