Fed up of the restrictions now.

I think it was more of a general thing. Eat out to help out, go back to the office to help local food/sandwich shops, go back to uni/college to study.
Don't think a lot of this helped but to blame one set of people more than another when they were told to do these things?
My nephew and his wife has it and he's been working from home. How do we explain that one?

 

I was doing four gigs a week . Bars and restaurants , Playing guitar . It hurts financially. But I'm still cutting trees . At least in la Palma canaries there's total Freedom here , relaxed, and the weathers great. So not so bad , I feel for you northerners.

 

China seems to have got it under control with lockdowns, mask wearing, proper isolation and hospital facilities, mass testing and an obedient population. Just like we could have only we are too obsessed with our own little freedoms.

 

But that’s just theory and most cures , treatments etc take years and years to find , sure some people are “to proud” (vein) to ask for help , most people want to work but that’s not the situation we are in , the pandemic would have an effect on jobs employment etc if we let it carry on unchecked , your friend would be in the same situation, blaming the same people, it’s not really a blame sort of situation, it’s a solution sort of situation

 

The anti body count is a confusing point, I had Covid mid May and I’ve been donating plasma ever since. They check my antibody count each time I donate and mines still high 6 months later. The nurses at the blood donors were telling me women don’t seem to retain them for as long as men but they don’t yet know why

 

A hell of a lot of medical expertise was brought in over six months ago. The price of this was that things like a lot of cancer research projects got parked but it was considered acceptable given the circumstances. That's partly why we're close to getting a vaccine, Covid took ultimate priority for resources.

 

Same here, we've had all our gigs canned this year apart from one that was outside in August, even when pubs reopened they still didn't want to go ahead as it wasn't financially viable, the regular New Years Eve gig was cancelled a couple of weeks ago. The latest cancellation was a wedding next month, we've only got together once since March to rehearse

 

well if they only test the obedient ones it’s gotta be true

 

Family across the road, we have sons who are friends. They own a estate agents and mix with similar ilk. They have had gatherings right through since this all began a are today lunching with another family in one of the many cosy little villages are here. They will not let this impede their social life.

At the same time, Mrs P was out for lunch the week before lockdown, with two friends in a restaurant in Aylesbury. All legit, booked table, scanned the NHS QR code on the way in etc. One of her friends tested positive on Friday but, as of 19.30 tonight, none of them have been contacted by the Track and Trace service.

 

World beating

 

Just to past the time

 

The thing is Mike, they are not "little freedoms" today is remembrance sunday. People died so we could have our freedoms, be it little or big. We must not let them go out of respect to those who fought for us.
