264 fucking pages of this now and yes, I posted amongst the first. But it's about time it stopped.
I've had 2 jabs. I feel as safe as I'm going to get.
We have to learn to live with it otherwise what's the point.
Quite.
I don’t go drinking and I rarely eat out , I’ve always lived in my own little bubble with my boy and Mrs and I’ve worked all the way through it . I was never going to catch it and if I did it might’ve been like a bad cold .
It’s never really affected me tbh , I’ve worn masks when I have to but not through fear of my life but to keep other people happy .
But I do sympathise with those who have lost loved ones .
But it’s been a shitshow all the way through it .
On the plus side nobody died of flu eh ?
Extremely well put imo. We all sympathise with people who lose loved ones, whether from cancer, heart disease, or any airborne virus such as Covid. We still lose hundreds every year on our roads ffs. Every death is a tragedy, But death happens. It's sad, but it's a fact of life. And the biggest killer known to man ? I'm guessing probably natural ageing. People whose bodies just kind of give up because they're worn out.
But one thing's for sure. We are going to have to learn to live with it and if we think cowering behind some tacky piece of Chinese manufactured face covering will somehow save us from the dreaded plague we are kidding ourselves. This virus is the longest anything ever made in China has lasted which is kind of ironic is it not ?
And the thing that pisses me off more than anything else is that, although the vaccination process seems to be working very effectively, we still, thanks to the media have to read the negative shit about rising case numbers, despite the fact that catching the fucking thing now probably means, worst case scenario, taking a day or two off work to get over it.
Sajid Javed, our illustrious health secretary, has caught it. Do I exopect him to die ? No I don't. Does he expect to ? I expect not. Move on FFS.
